Book excerpt: In Europe, ca. 1900 "mineral water" brandsare officially registered and bottled for drinking. Bottled waters isgroundwater and is in large parts of the continent rapidly developing into themain supply of drinking water for the general population.This book is the first state of the art overview of the chemistry ofgroundwaters from 40 European countries from Portugal to Russia, measured on1785 bottled water samples, equivalent to 1189 distinct bottled water brandsfrom 1247 wells in 884 locations plus an additional 500 tap water samplesacquired in 2008 by the network of EuroGeoSurveys experts all across Europe.In contrast to previously available compilations, all chemical data (containedon the enclosed CD) were measured in a single laboratory, under strict qualitycontrol with high internal and external reproducibility, affording a singlehigh quality, internally consistent dataset. More than 70 parameters weredetermined on every sample using state of the art analytical techniques withultra low detection limits (ICPMS, ICPOES, IC) at a single hydrochemical labfacility. Because of the wide geographical distributionof the water sources across 40 European countries, the bottled mineral,drinking and tap waters characterized herein may be used for obtaining a firstestimate of "ground- water geochemistry" at the scale of the EuropeanContinent, previously unavailable in this completeness, quality and coverage.The data published here allow for the first time to present a comprehensiveinternally consistent, overview of the natural distribution and variation ofthe determined chemical elements and additional state parameters of groundwaterat the European scale. Most elements show a very widerange, usually 3 to 4 but up to 7 orders of magnitude, of natural variation of their concentration. Data are interpreted in terms of their origin, considering hydrochemical parameters, such as the influence of soil, vegetation cover and mixing with deep waters, as well as other factors (bottling effects, leaching from bottles). A chapter is devoted to comparing the results from the bottled waters with those of European tap waters and previously published datasets. The authors also provide an overview of the legal framework, that any bottled water sold in the European Union must comply with. It provides a comprehensive compilation of current drinking water action levels in European countries, limiting values of the European Drinking/Mineral/Natural Mineral Water directives (1998/83/EC, 2003/40/EC, 2009/54/EC) and legislation in effect in 26 individual European Countries, and for comparison those of the FAO and in effect in the US (EPA, maximum contaminant levels [MCA]). The accompanying CD contains the extensive data sets, sample data (of 1189 different brands) and two previously published European water chemistry data sets.

Book excerpt: Water went from being a free natural resource to one of the most successful commercial products of the last one hundred years. That's a big story, and water is big business. Gleick exposes the true reasons we've turned to the bottle, from fear mongering by business interests and our own vanity to the breakdown of public systems and global inequities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Not long ago, people did not worry about the food they ate. They did not worry about the water they drank or the air they breathed. It never occurred to them that eating, drinking water, satisfying basic, mundane bodily needs might be a dangerous thing to do. Parents thought it was good for their kids to go outside, get some sun. “That’s all changed now.” —from the Introduction Many Americans today rightly fear that they are constantly exposed to dangerous toxins in their immediate environment: tap water is contaminated with chemicals; foods contain pesticide residues, hormones, and antibiotics; even the air we breathe, outside and indoors, carries invisible poisons. Yet we have responded not by pushing for governmental regulation, but instead by shopping. What accounts for this swift and dramatic response? And what are its unintended consequences? Andrew Szasz examines this phenomenon in Shopping Our Way to Safety. Within a couple of decades, he reveals, bottled water and water filters, organic food, “green” household cleaners and personal hygiene products, and “natural” bedding and clothing have gone from being marginal, niche commodities to becoming mass consumer items. Szasz sees these fatalistic, individual responses to collective environmental threats as an inverted form of quarantine, aiming to shut the healthy individual in and the threatening world out. Sharply critiquing these products’ effectiveness as well as the unforeseen political consequences of relying on them to keep us safe from harm, Szasz argues that when consumers believe that they are indeed buying a defense from environmental hazards, they feel less urgency to actually do something to fix them. To achieve real protection, real security, he concludes, we must give up the illusion of individual solutions and together seek substantive reform. Andrew Szasz is professor and chair of the department of sociology at the University of California at Santa Cruz and author of the award-winning EcoPopulism (Minnesota, 1994).

The author has included the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lists of microbes, inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals, and radioactivity required to be tested by the water suppliers, who must report the test results to their customers annually in the Annual Water Quality Report (AWQR) or Consumer Confident Report (CCR). Several commercially popular bottled drinking waters were analyzed for the presence of contaminants, with the results discussed in the text.

Download or read book Drinking Water Quality Assessment and Management written by S.K. Gupta and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) of the UN General Assembly states that ‘Governments to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’. It concentrates on all aspects of the water cycle: water; water resources management; water-use efficiency; water quality; waste water management; sanitation and health; and protecting freshwater ecosystems’. Contrarily, we daily witness the most perplexing paradox of merciless waste and pollution of water despite being aware that water is inadequate and is not going to last for long. Water inadequacy, be it physical, economical or quality related, is spreading fast to cover every continent. Although allocation of water to domestic sector in terms of total water use is quite less yet as per United Nations statistics water is impacting over 2 billion people who live in countries experiencing high water stress and about twice this number experience water scarcity at least for a month every year. The current book dwells upon the water quality issues and its impact on water supply scenario in general and domestic sector in particular. The book has been divided into seven chapters namely: Water Resources: Supply and Demand; Water Pollution; Water Quality Parameters and Standards; Laboratory Analysis of Water Samples; Raw Water Treatment; Treatment of Polluted Water; and Tips for Water Conservation. The topics covered in this book are quite relevant to civil engineers in general and public health engineers in particular, environmental specialists, agricultural engineers and all those concerned with water in any manner. It should prove to be a valuable reference for field practitioners, researchers, and policy makers. The topics/chapters included in the book have direct relevance to several Government sponsored programs such as National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) and Namami Gange Programme of the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Development and Promotion of Clean Technologies of MoEF, and Many schemes of CGWB and CPCB. It can prove to be a valuable academic asset for libraries of colleges and universities worldwide.
