Drinking water policies and research are intimately linked. It is
thanks to the scientific progress made over the last 25 years in
identifying and controlling toxic products in drinking water that
regulations have developed in such a way that the protection of
public health from waterborne diseases has drastically improved.
The integration of research outputs into the policy-making progress
requires close cooperation among the scientific and policy
communities, which is not always straightforward. Exchanges among
scientific and policy-making communities are certainly representing
key elements of progress for a better environmental protection. In
this respect, analytical developments linked to drinking water are
at the core of the science-policy debate.
This book ‘Analytical Methods for Drinking Water: Advances in
Sampling and Analysis’ reflects this awareness in joining recent
analytical developments with policy considerations. A first chapter
gives an overview of EU and US drinking water policies, as well as
on standardization. Analytical developments are described in depth
in the second chapter, focusing on bromate in drinking water. The
third chapter deals with the development of a sampling protocol for
lead in drinking water, thus mixing analytical development with
standardization needs. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses on
standardization aspects (pre-normative research) related to
materials in contact with drinking water.
This book, written by experts in the field of drinking water policy
and analysis, illustrates recent scientific advances in this area,
which have contributed to policy development and will be of direct
use to policy-makers, water scientists, researchers and analytical
laboratories.
