Home Water Quality and Treatment
The quality of your water supply can have both an immediate and a prolonged effect on the health of your household. Many Americans, especially those dependent upon well water, assume that their water is safe and healthy. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality – Second Edition – Volume 2 -Health Criteria and Other Supporting Information
In 1984 and 1985, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the first edition of Guidelines for drinking-water quality in three volumes. The development of these guidelines was organized and carried out jointly by WHO headquarters and the WHO Regional Office for Europe (EURO). In 1988, the decision was made within WHO to initiate the revision of the guidelines. The work was again shared between WHO headquarters and EURO. Within headquarters, both the unit for the Prevention of Environmental Pollution (PEP) and the ILO/UNEP/WHO International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) were involved, IPCS providing a major input to the health risk assessments of chemicals in drinking-water.

Guide to Surface Water Quality Monitoring in The Cayuga Lake Watershed
The Cayuga Lake Watershed (CLW) is home to many municipal agencies, educational institutions,
non-governmental environmental organizations and citizens’ groups with significant interests in the
quality of the lake and its tributaries. As a result, numerous studies and monitoring programs have
been, and will continue to be, conducted throughout the watershed. Management of water quality
benefits from the assessment of the physical, chemical and biological conditions of the waters and
sediments of the lake and its tributaries. Water quality monitoring is a valuable tool for assessing
the level of pollutants, identifying emerging problems, documenting changes resulting from water
management, and for building understanding of the aquatic ecosystem. Although some information
can be obtained from models and expert opinion, water quality sampling or monitoring programs
are the primary sources of data.

Industrial Pollution And Control Measures For Foundries In Cyprus
Over the last decades improvements have been achieved in industry regarding several major polluting substances, and that gradually the environmental impact has shifted towards so-called diffuse sources of pollution. Nevertheless, industrial production processes still account for a considerable share of the overall pollution in Europe and it is very important to further reduce their contribution to ‘unsustainability’. The EU has a set of common rules on permitting for industrial installations. These rules are set out in the so-called IPPC Directive of 1996. Cyprus is one of the candidate countries to become a full member of the European Union. In order to access formally to the E.U., Cyprus has to follow an implementation process and take into account all the obligations that the 15 Member States have to respect. A large number of obligations derive from IPPC Directive, which intends to result in the protection of the environment as a whole and the public health as well. In this framework, the National Technical University of Athens, after thorough examination of a large number of documents relevant to the Best Available Techniques
