Beschreibung
Drinking water policies and research are intimately linked. It isthanks to the scientific progress made over the last 25 years inidentifying and controlling toxic products in drinking water thatregulations have developed in such a way that the protection ofpublic health from waterborne diseases has drastically improved.The integration of research outputs into the policy-making progressrequires close cooperation among the scientific and policycommunities, which is not always straightforward. Exchanges amongscientific and policy-making communities are certainly representingkey elements of progress for a better environmental protection. Inthis respect, analytical developments linked to drinking water areat the core of the science-policy debate.
This book "Analytical Methods for Drinking Water: Advances inSampling and Analysis" reflects this awareness in joining recentanalytical developments with policy considerations. A first chaptergives an overview of EU and US drinking water policies, as well ason standardization. Analytical developments are described in depthin the second chapter, focusing on bromate in drinking water. Thethird chapter deals with the development of a sampling protocol forlead in drinking water, thus mixing analytical development withstandardization needs. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses onstandardization aspects (pre-normative research) related tomaterials in contact with drinking water.
This book, written by experts in the field of drinking water policyand analysis, illustrates recent scientific advances in this area,which have contributed to policy development and will be of directuse to policy-makers, water scientists, researchers and analyticallaboratories.
