Global Water Pollution and Human Health

TL;DR: In this paper, the main groups of aquatic contaminants, their effects on human health, and approaches to mitigate pollution of freshwater resources are reviewed, particularly on inorganic and organic micropollutants including toxic metals and metalloids as well as a large variety of synthetic organic chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyanobacterial toxins: risk management for health protection

TL;DR: Key procedures in the risk management of cyanobacterial toxins and cells are reviewed, including derivations of tolerable daily intakes and guideline values with reference to the toxins in drinking water, and guideline levels for toxigenic cyanobacteria in bathing waters.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on anaerobic-aerobic treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater.

TL;DR: The comparison demonstrates that using an integrated bioreactor with stacked configuration in treating high strength industrial wastewaters is advantageous due to minimal space requirements, low capital cost and excellent COD removal efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water quality monitoring strategies - A review and future perspectives.

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to report on the use cases a watershed manager has to address to plan or optimize a WQMP from the challenge of identifying monitoring objectives; selecting sampling sites and water quality parameters; identifying sampling frequencies; considering logistics and resources to the implementation of actions based on information acquired through the WQ MP.
