| Abstract | Until now the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed, in isolation from one another, separate guidelines for water quality for drinking, irrigation and recreational purposes. This book presents issues and concepts relating to a harmonized framework for guidelines development, in terms of water-related micobiological risk. It is based on the contributions and outcomes of an international workshop organized by WHO in 1999. The book includes expert contributions on water-related diseases, epidemiology, risk assessment, risk management, standards and regulation, risk communication and economics. |
