Toxic cyanobacteria are increasingly recognised as a potential hazard in water for human use. The recent availability of methods for quantitative screening is leading to a surge of research on their occurrence. This book presents a novel compilation of extensive screening results showing the cyanotoxin levels that may be expected when certain taxa dominate. These results indicate cyanotoxins to be the most widespread among the chemicals of concern in water used for drinking and recreation. It further combines field data with results from laboratory culture experiments to suggest a unifying view of how environmental factors control the cyanotoxin levels in natural waters. A practical section is dedicated to the exposure of humans through drinking-water and recreation.

Drinking-water resources are polluted or at risk of being polluted by a variety of agents froim numberous sources. The WHO proceedings target key aspects of protecting drinking-water (surface and groundwater) resources from human excreta, including: health impacts, policy approahes and re-use impacts in agriculture. Water Sanitation and Health provides the latest treatment assessments and presents up-to-date approaches to improvement. Contents: Health Risks Potential from Drinking-Water Polluted with Domestic Sewage and Excretia Policy and Acceptance, Institutional and Management Aspects; Protection of Surface Water and Groundwater from Domestic Sewage and Excreta Re-use Technologies for the Protection of Drinking Water Resources Case Studies
