A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Providing a comprehensive approach to water quality measurement, Detection Methods for Algae, Protozoa and Helminths in Fresh andDrinking Water is the second book in the Water QualityMeasurement Series.

Potential disease–causing biological agents such as Algae,Protozoa and Helminths exist throughout the entire water cycle.These agents, which can be of natural or anthropogenic origin, havevaried potential impact and significance in the water cycle. Thisbook focuses on the analytical aspects related to epidemiology,toxicology, sanitary engineering and plant technology to provide anintegrated and clear strategy for carrying out surveillance,quality control, prevention and remedial measures.

The book provides coverage of:

• Hygienic and health aspects of biological agents within freshand drinking water
• Counting methods for Algae, Protozoa and Helminths
• Methods for cyanobacteria toxin detection
• Methods for extraction and determination of chlorophylls
• Viability of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts
• Laboratory requirements and quality assurance

The book also addresses the importance of:

• Epidemiological and other catchment area information
• Environmental context
• Waterwork structure
• Treatment plant configuration
• Sampling strategy and methodology.

Water Quality Measurement Series
This series provides a comprehensive coverage of the analyticaltechniques used for the measurement of substances in water fromsampling through to laboratory analysis. The scope of the seriesencompasses topical issues including quality assurance, standardprocedures, and the best practices in measuring water quality, fromsurface and drinking water to coastal and wastewater. Thetechniques will be discussed in relation to current legislation andguidelines.

The series aims to offer workable answers to specific practicalissues related to measurements of the water cycle quality, using acomprehensive and scientifically sound approach.
