From the Author
A comprehensive guide to all aspects of drinking water.I began simply, by wanting safe drinking water for my family.
I visited water treatment plants, county health departments,
then universities and the Environmental Protection Agency. Everyone knew about particular specialties but no one
could put it all together. So I decided to do it myself, helped
by 20 years as a scientific writer. I spent 5 years (and a lot
of money) researching every aspect of drinking water:
pollutants, health risks, governmental standards for water,
actual tap water quality, water testing, bottled water,
machine-vended water, home water purifiers. I tested just about every product on the market
(and found most wanting).
This book is the result. I believe it will answer any possible
questions you have about your drinking water, and guide you
to a wide variety of solutions, based on your particular needs.
