Role of epidemiologic studies in deriving drinking water standards for metals.

Role of epidemiologic studies in deriving drinking water standards for metals.

Epidemiological investigations are shown to have contributed in a significant way to our understanding of the potential adverse health effects of drinking water with elevated levels of several metals. Particular emphasis is given to an assessment of the epidemiological investigations concerned with characterizing the health effects of exposure to elevated levels of arsenic and sodium in drinkin...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Determination of Trace Metals, Volatile Organic Compounds, and Other Water Standards in WMU Drinking Water

WHO water quality standards Vs Synergic effect(s) of fluoride, heavy metals and hardness in drinking water on kidney tissues

Despite WHO standards, waterborne diseases among the human being are rising alarmingly. It is known that the prolong exposure to contaminated water has major impact on public health. The effect of chemical contaminations in drinking water on human being is found to be chronic rather than acute and hence can be defined "consumption of contaminated drinking water could be a silent killer". As the...

Studies on Water Drinking

The daily drinking of three liters of water with meals, for a period of five days, by a man twenty-two years of age who was in a condition of nitrogen equilibrium through the ingestion of a uniform diet, was productive of the following findings : 1. An increase in body weight, aggregating two pounds in five days. 2. An increased excretion of urinary nitrogen, the excess nitrogen being mainly in...
