Description
This comprehensive text describes the diseases associated with water, their causative agents and the ways in which they gain access to
water systems. It also details the methods for detecting and identifying waterborne microorganisms, the ways in which they are removed
from water, and the risks they present to water users. This handbook will serve as an indispensable reference for public health microbiologists,
water utility scientists, research water pollution microbiologists environmental health officers, consultants in communicable disease
control and microbial water pollution students.
Audience
Researchers in infectious disease, microbiology, public health workers, and water and wastewater treatment engineers.
