Water Contamination and Health

This practical reference examines every potential means of exposure to water contaminants, provides in-depth discussion on toxicology, explains the most up-to-date techniques for evaluating human health risk, and develops a methodology for assessing the cumulative absorbed dose of contaminants through all routes of exposure, including ingestion, inhalation, and dermal.With over 1050 bibliographic citations, tables, and illustrations, Water Contamination and Health is an invaluable resource for pollution control engineers; environmental scientists; waste management consultants; federal, state, and local government officials responsible for water usage; directors, managers, and scientists in both public and private water plants; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
