The Chemical Examination of Water, Sewage, Foods


Book Description

Excerpt from The Chemical Examination of Water, Sewage, Foods: And Other Substances The books included in the Series present in a useful and handy form the knowledge now available in many branches of the subject. They are written by experts, and the authors are occupied, or have been occupied, either in investigations connected with the various themes or in their application and administration. They include the latest scientific and practical information offered in a manner which is not too technical. The bibliographies contain references to the literature of each subject which will ensure their utility to the Specialist. It has been the desire of the editors to arrange that the books should appeal to various classes of readers and it is hoped that they will be useful to the medical profession at home and abroad, to bacteriologists and laboratory students, to municipal engineers and architects, to medical officers of health and sanitary in spectors and to teachers and administrators. Many of the volumes Will contain material Which will be suggestive and instructive to members of Public Health and Hygiene Committees and it is intended that they shall seek to influence the large body of educated and intelligent public opinion interested in the problems of public health.

Examination of Water


Book Description

Excerpt from Examination of Water: Chemical and Bacteriological Knowledge of ordinary quantitative analysis is here necessarily assumed; therefore the merest suggestions are given for determination of the mineral matters present in a water, while the items properly lying within the scope of a sanitary examination are dealt with more at length. Upon the bacteriological side, only so much is touched upon as has been demonstrated to be of real service to the water examiner; leaving the great field of ultimate differentiation to be further explored, and rendered still more practically useful, by the professed bacteriologist. The text of this edition differs considerably from the former one, since in it the analytical methods will be found up to date.

Water Analysis


Book Description

In addition to detailed instructions for sampling and immediate analysis, the book provides a concise presentation of both the theoretical background and data evaluation. The analytical methods thus presented can just as easily be applied using simple equipment as well as in the modern laboratory. The book is a bench-top laboratory manual and as such can be used for instruction in laboratory staff training programs. It treats the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds while also dealing with microbiological problems associated with the guidelines for waste, surface and ground water, as well as drinking water quality.




Annual Report of the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service of the United States


Book Description

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service of the United States: For the Fiscal Year, 1915 As previously stated, detailed mention is made of the several activities of the field stations and laboratories under separate appro prieto heads. Many activities of the Hygienic Laboratory also are thus given special mention, the facilities of this station having been freely made use of in the development of the field investigations.

Evaluation of Microbial Risk Assessment Techniques and Applications


Book Description

This investigation reviewed and evaluated methodologies used for microbial risk assessment with respect to their applicability for reclaimed water applications. The investigation was comprised of five primary components: a comprehensive database of articles, reports and books describing microbial risk assessment methodologies was established and reviewed. Risk assessment techniques and models were identified for estimating the public health risk from exposure to microorganisms via reclaimed water applications. Two models were identified for further evaluation: a static (individual based) and a dynamic (population based). In the third component, the two models were evaluated to differentiate between the conditions under which models predict similar and substantially different estimations of risk. Through numerical simulation, exposure/pathogen combinations were identified when it may be appropriate to use the less complex, static model. Case study risk assessment scenarios demonstrated the model selection process for three realistic, yet hypothetical reclaimed water scenarios.The fourth component presents a constraint analysis for existing reuse regulations. The constraint analysis is carried out by documenting the existing reuse regulations. The constraint analysis is carried out by documenting the existing regs in three states for landscape irrigation and uses that comparison as a starting point to identify how microbial risk assessment may be useful within the context of existing and potential future water reuse regulations. The investigation concludes by identifying criteria for a computer interface that would allow regulatory and/or municipal agencies/utilities to take advantage of the analysis discussed in the report.
