ABOUT THE BOOK

WATER SUPPLY AND HEALTH

AUTHORS : H VAN LELYVELD AND B.C.J.ZOETEMAN

PUBLISHERS : ELSEVIER SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING COMPANY

What is more common than expecting that water leaving the tap at home is clear ,

free of colour and off-flavours and safe to drink .

Yet an increasing number of questions were raised during the past decade in

relation to drinking water constituents and health . Besides the well-known but

still existing problem of lead released from lead pipes used for water distribution ,

the role of water hardness in the prevention of cardiovascular disease became a

matter of serious concern.

Raw water sources have become heavily polluted by industrial chemicals. The

need to use such contaminated sources and t h e discovery of a large number of

by-products of chemical treatment processes focussed the attention of the scientific

community as well as the public on the possible health risks associated with

these organic micropollutants of tap water. Other important examples can be added.

The Organizing Committee after consulting the Advisory Committee aimed at a

symposium program covering recent progress i n toxicological and epidemiological

studies on the health impact of water constituents as well as the consequences

for the application of treatment processes and of legislative measures.
