Abstract:

This paper seeks to outline the development of a national programme for surveillance of drinking water quality in Malaysia. The need for such a programme defining organisational responsibilities, functions, procedures, activities and follow-up remedial actions was identified in a country-wide survey on drinking-water quality surveillance problems in 1983. The programme was planned based on W H O's “Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality” (Draft 1983), taking into consideration the survey findings, and implemented with reasonable success within the constraints of existing levels of manpower, fac

Abstract:

Universal access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for life maintenance since exposure to poor quality water is harmful to health. Drinking water quality is part of public health actions and, together with sanitation, a human right essential for life and a sustainable development goal. Moreover, an independent surveillance system conducted by the Ministry of Health or government agencies is needed for the safety of drinking water quality. We propose a scoping review protocol to identify and map worldwide surveillance actions and initiatives of drinking water quality implemented by

Abstract:

It is widely recognized that climate change will impact upon human health in a variety of ways. Assessing these impacts and identifying adaptation opportunities requires appropriate monitoring. To identify the need for reinforced surveillance in metropolitan France, we defined a conceptual framework of how climate change could impact upon health risks in relation to drinking water. Three types of climate change-related impacts were identified: changes in raw water quality, changes in water treatment processes and changes in human determinants of exposure in relation to consumers' behaviour.

Water related disease outbreak (WRDO) statistics in Italy from 1998 to 2005 have been discussed in this paper. The true incidence of WRDO is not reflected in the National Surveillance System (NSS), although this study has provided information on pathogens associated to different water sources, incidence in Regions and inadequacy of regulations. 192 outbreaks and 2546 cases of WRD were reported to the NSS, an average of 318 cases per year. Cases were associated to shellfish (58.79%), drinking water (39.94%) and agricultural products (1.25%). WRDs have been detected in 76% of Regions: central an

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the bacterial quality and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of Enterobacteriaceae from drinking water in Bahir Dar city. A total of 140 water samples were collected in the wet and dry periods from springs (n = 4), reservoirs (n = 10) and private tap water at households (n = 126). Bacteriological analysis of water was conducted using multiple tube method. Overall, 21.4%, 18.6% and 17.8% of drinking water samples had total coliforms (TC), faecal coliforms (FC) and Escherichia coli, respectively. All spring water samples and 29.2% of private

Drinking water has to be wholesome and clean, free from chemical and, most of all, microbiological contaminants. The German Landeswasserversorgung (LW), a long distance water supplier, uses surface water and water influenced by surface water as well as groundwater for drinking water production. A combination of several treatment steps including flocculation, sedimentation, ozonation, in-line filtration and, finally, disinfection with chlorine dioxide guarantees a drinking water of perfect quality.

Abstract:

The reduction of the incidence of water-borne diseases is achieved with the diffusion of the use of chlorination techniques. However, in spite of the benefits of this disinfection method, the reactions of chlorine with the natural organic matter occurring in the water induce the production of disinfection by products such as trihalomethanes. These products have already been associated with the incidence of some cancers types. Considering that in the Brazilian legislation, it is not mandatory measuring and controlling the occurrence of trihalomethanes at the exitand during the water distributio

Abstract The presence of trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water is an important issue in the context of their potential health effects. Numerous studies have developed models in the past three decades relating THMs concentrations to different factors (e.g., dissolved organic carbon [DOC], chlorine dose, pH, etc.). Previous studies characterized the importance of specific factors through controlled studies using synthetic water or source waters from a small number of water treatment plants. Few studies have reported looking for factors related to THMs formation system-wide across many differe
