Publisher's Synopsis
The International Water Association's 2nd World Water Congress held in Berlin in October 2001 was, like its predecessor, a resounding and well attended success. At the centre of its programme were over three hundred oral presentations addressing the drinking water, sanitation, stormwater and environmental needs of communities worldwide. From the large number of oral presentations, after full peer review, 17 papers dealing with aspects of the monitoring and behaviour of various forms of environmental contaminants have been selected for this issue. Topics include: water quality monitoring and pollution accidents; biomonitoring and emerging pollutants (including pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors); and pathogen behaviour in the environment. With some of the world's leading experts as authors, highlighting the latest research results and their practical applications, these proceedings are an essential compilation of the latest advances in our knowledge of the behaviour of pathogenic microbes and chemicals in the environment and methods for their monitoring.
