Explore the history and practical methods used to test water safety through hydrogen sulfide production.
This nonfiction work traces how scientists over the years studied hydrogen sulfide in water and how those findings shaped sanitary testing. It covers the development of culture methods, media, and how results relate to water quality and infection risk. The book presents the evolution of testing approaches in a clear, process-focused way.
With detailed discussion of media choices, reaction tests, and reliability, it offers context for professionals and students working in water safety, public health, and microbiology. It emphasizes practical considerations for conducting and interpreting hydrogen sulfide tests in real-world water samples.
Ideal for readers of public health, microbiology, and water-quality monitoring who want a clear view of how testing methods developed and how they are used today.
