Download or read book Chemical Safety of Drinking water written by Terrence Thompson and published by WHO. This book was released on 2007 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contamination of drinking-water is a significant concern for public health throughout the world. Microbial hazards make the largest contribution to waterborne disease in developed and developing countries. Nevertheless, chemicals in water supplies can cause serious health problems--whether the chemicals are naturally occurring or derive from sources of pollution. At a global scale, fluoride and arsenic are the most significant chemicals, each affecting perhaps millions of people. However, many other chemicals can be important contaminants of drinking-water under specific local conditions. Often, identification and assessment of risks to health from drinking-water relies excessively on analysis of water samples. The limitations of this approach are well recognized, and contributed to the delay in recognizing arsenic in drinking-water as a significant health concern in Bangladesh and elsewhere. To overcome such limitations, the latest edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality (WHO, 2004; WHO,2006) emphasizes effective preventive management through a 'framework for drinking-water safety' that incorporates 'water safety plans.' Effective preventive management of chemicals in drinking-water requires simple tools for distinguishing the few chemicals of potential local or national concern from the unmanageably long list of chemicals of possible significance. The aim is to identify and prioritize the chemicals of concern, to overcome the limitations of direct analysis of water quality, and ensure that limited resources are allocated towards the monitoring, assessment and control of the chemicals that pose the greatest health risks. Identifying and prioritizing chemical risks presents a challenge, especially in developing countries, because information on the presence of chemicals in water supplies is often lacking. This document provides guidance to help readers to meet that challenge. It shows how information on aspects such as geology and industrial and agricultural development, which is often readily available, can be used to identify potential chemical contaminants (and potential sources of chemicals), from catchment to consumer, and thus prioritize risks. As a supporting document to the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality (WHO, 2004; WHO, 2006), this publication is aimed at policy-makers, regulators, managers and public health practitioners at national and local level. It is divided into three parts: Part A provides general guidance on using limited information in prioritizing chemicals in drinking-water for risk management. The need for such guidance is outlined in Chapter 1,which also describes the administrative and policy context. Chapter 2 describes the principles applied in prioritizing chemicals, provides information on some factors that affect chemical concentrations along pathways, and highlights several specific chemicals that are frequently considered priorities because of their widespread occurrence or significant health effects. Chapter 3 discusses the role of drinking-water standards and guidelines, and provides an overview of contemporary water quality management procedures. Part B provides practical guidance on identifying specific chemicals that are likely to be of concern in individual water supply systems. It groups chemical contaminants into five categories on the basis of their potential sources: naturally occurring, from agriculture activities, from human settlements, from industrial activities, and from water treatment and distribution processes themselves. Part C comprises the appendices. It includes guidance on the most likely sources of potential contaminants and on identifying chemicals that could be of concern in particular circumstances. The appendices address potential sources of chemicals considered in the WHO drinking-water guidelines (WHO, 2004; WHO, 2006), chemicals potentially discharged in effluents from industrial sources, and the association of pesticides with crops and crop types. This information is presented in an accessible format that will help users to determine the chemical hazards that can arise in the catchment, in treatment and in distribution, in large, medium and small water supplies. Many experts worldwide contributed to this work over a period of several years, beginning with the 1st Meeting of Experts on Monitoring Chemicals in Drinking Water, held in Bangkok, Thailand, in January 2001. This was followed by the 2nd Meeting of Experts on Monitoring Chemicals in Drinking Water, also held in Bangkok, in December 2001. Both meetings were sponsored by WHO and hosted by the Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. The draft guidance document was subsequently tested in a series of field trials in 2002-2003 in Indonesia, Fiji, Nepal, Mongolia, the Philippines and Thailand. Lessons learnt through the field trials provided feedback that was valuable in revising and finalizing the document. Readers should note that while this publication has been developed as a supporting document for, and with reference to, the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, the guidelines themselves are frequently updated and the latest information should always be sought by reference to relevant World Health Organization publications and web site.

Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book covers every aspect of deadly toxic chemicals used as weapons of mass destruction and employed in conflicts, warfare and terrorism. Including findings from experimental as well as clinical studies, this one-of-a-kind handbook is prepared in a very user- friendly format that can easily be followed by students, teachers and researchers, as well as lay people. Stand-alone chapters on individual chemicals and major topics allow the reader to easily access required information without searching through the entire book.This is the first book that offers in-depth coverage of individual toxicants, target organ toxicity, major incidents, toxic effects in humans, animals and wildlife, biosensors, biomarkers, on-site and laboratory analytical methods, decontamination and detoxification procedures, prophylactic, therapeutic and countermeasures, and the role of homeland security. - Presents a comprehensive look at all aspects of chemical warfare toxicology in one reference work. This saves researchers time in quickly accessing the very latest definitive details on toxicity of specific agents used in chemical warfare as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles. Will include the most agent-specific information on the market - Includes detailed coverage of the most exhaustive list of agents possibly used as chemical warfare agents in one source. Section 4: Agents That Can Be Used as Weapons of Mass Destruction ? 25 chapters long. Other books on the market only include a sample selection of specific agents. Offering all possible agents detailed under one cover makes this appealing to a wider audience and saves researchers time - The Forward will be written by Dr. Tetsuo Satoh, Chiba University, Japan. He is one of the most respected, recognizable authorities on chemical warfare agents which will set the authoritative tone for the book - Covers risk to humans, animals and the environment equally. Researchers involved in assessing the risks involved with a possible chemical warfare attack and those who are developing response plans to such attacks must look at not only the risks to human health but to our wildlife and environment as well. The holistic approach taken in this book ensures that the researchers have ready access to the details no matter which aspect of the effects of CWA's they might be concerned with
