This book was released on 1999 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off-flavours and odours are recognised by the water industry worldwide as one of the major causes of complaints from consumers and the general public. Off-flavours in drinking water may be harmless, but can seriously diminish consumer confidence; similarly, odours from treatment plants or reservoirs can have significant economic consequences; natural or anthropogenic micropollutants in seawater or freshwater can lead to tainting of fish or seafood. Such episodes may be caused by complex mixtures of chemicals that can only be characterised with highly sensitive analytical techniques; assessing their impacts may require sophisticated sensory evaluation methods based on human panels. The 41 papers selected for these proceedings provide a highly authoritative examination of the issues relating to tastes and odours in the water environment. Starting with an updated Taste and Odor Wheel to characterise taste and odour problems and indicate causes, some of the worlds foremost experts report on the origins and impacts of off-flavour problems and treatment strategies that can combat them. This book will be a valuable resource for scientists and engineers involved in research into this subject and for all those in the water industry tasked with combating off-flavours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Communication aims at setting a first general outlook at what communication on water means, who communicates and on what topics. Through different examples and based on different research and contributions, this book presents an original first overview of “water communication”. It sets its academic value as one distinct scientific domain and provides tips and practical tools to professionals. The book contributes to avoid mixing messages, targets and discourses when setting communication related to water issues. The book facilitates coordination within the water sector and its organizations as water is a wide field of applications where inadequate words and language understanding between its stakeholders is one of the main obstacles today. Water Communication provides and describes: a general outlook and retrospective of the history of the water sector in terms of communication the landscape of organizations communicating on water and classification of topics the differences between communication, information, mediation, raising awareness examples of communication campaigns on water Water Communication is a vital resource for communication managers, utility managers, policy makers involved in water management and students in water sciences and environment.

Download or read book Taints and Off Flavours in Foods written by B Baigrie and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-04-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off-flavours and taints are defined as unpleasant odours or tastes, the first resulting from the natural deterioration of a food, the second from its contamination by some other chemical. Both are major problems for the food industry. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this important collection describes some of the most important causes of taints and off-flavours, how they can be identified and dealt with. The book begins with chapters on sensory and instrumental methods for detecting and analysing taints and off-flavours in food. There are chapters on two of the most common causes of taints: packaging and residues from cleaning and disinfection. A number of chapters discuss the various causes of off-flavours, from those caused by microbial action and oxidation to those caused by the Maillard reaction and interactions between food components. With its authoritative coverage, Taints and off-flavours in food is a standard work for the food industry. Describes some of the most important causes of taints and off-flavours in food and outlines how they can be identified and dealt with Reviews the major causes of taints and off-flavours, from oxidative rancidity and microbiologically-derived off-flavours, to packaging materials as a source of taints Discusses the range of techniques for detecting taints and off-flavours, from sensory analysis to instrumental techniques, including the development of new rapid, on-line sensors
Download or read book Off Flavours in the Aquatic Environment VI written by L. l. Matia and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems related to off-flavours in the aquatic environment are increasingly important, from those resulting from natural causes in water resources to those resulting from water treatment and water distribution for consumption. Moreover, it is important to study the nuisance odours caused by wastewaters and the compounds responsible for them. The citizen, in general, and the consumer, in particular, increasingly attaches more value to the taste and odour of water intended for consumption and requires not only healthy and beneficial water but also a refreshing water. Likewise, the tastes and odours transmitted through the water to the preparation of food are increasingly a concern. All the professionals who work in fields related to the above-mentioned aspects need to know the potential problems and the most appropriate solutions to prevent them. The sixth IWA Symposium on Off-Flavours in the Aquatic Environment shared the latest advances on this subject in the world, and improved the knowledge of off-flavours problems in the aquatic environment as well as the implementation of new strategies to detect, prevent and solve them. The 47 papers selected for these proceedings cover the following specific topics: advances in physiology, chemistry and biology of off-flavours, sensory evaluation methods, new analytical methods, off-flavours in water resources, treatment and distribution systems, odours from wastewater systems, new treatment processes to solve taste and odour problems, health aspects, public perception and consumer complaints. Many of these evaluations were based on surveys and case studies. The content of this publication is divided into seven parts: General Lectures, Water Resources, Chemical and Sensory Analysis, Wastewater Evaluations, Drinking Water Treatment, Drinking Water Distribution Systems and Management. This publication will be a source book for scientists, technicians and professionals generally involved in organoleptic problems, from those who work in water utilities or the food industry, to public water and health authorities or those who work on related activities.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of marine pollution and effluent quality management has long been recognised in many parts of the world, particularly in the countries of the Middle East, with their arid climates and limited water resources. Industrial and municipal developments in the region along with changing lifestyles and increasing population, particularly in coastal communities, have resulted in many environmental pollution problems that require workable and affordable solutions. The objective of the Third Middle East conference was to assess the status of marine pollution and effluent quality management and to evaluate recent developments and approaches to waste management. Amongst the 21 papers selected from those presented at the conference are studies on wastewater reuse, environmental impacts including those of marine discharges, industrial waste treatment processes, and environmental management. These proceedings will be of great value to scientists, engineers and managers from the municipal and industrial sectors, academic institutions, regulatory bodies and research centers and all those interested in the developing issues of marine pollution and effluent quality management.

Download or read book Control and Prevention of Odours in the Water Industry written by Richard M. Stuetz and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 2000-05-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The release of unpleasant odours during wastewater and sludge treatment and disposal is not new. However, in recent years the level of complaints concerning the release of these offensive odours has increased. This is in part a direct result of the encroachment of housing on lands surrounding existing wastewater and sludge treatment works, together with the raised awareness of the public over its rights related to environmental issues. To avoid the creation of nuisance odours in wastewater and sludge treatment requires an understanding of those processes that are responsible. Odours that are formed within wastewater and sludge will not create an odour nuisance until they are released into the atmosphere. It is therefore important to understand the mechanisms by which odours are formed and then released and dispersed in order to provide effective control systems. The CIWEM-IAWQ odour conference enabled practitioners, regulators and researchers to present findings on a wide range of topics relating to the control and prevention of odours. Twenty-two papers have been selected for these proceedings. They examine the regulation of odour emissions, techniques used to measure and model odour emissions and treatment technologies used to control and prevent odour formation and emission.
