The aim of the paper is to assess health risk related to the exposure of people to contact with water contaminated with chosen metals, via ingestion and dermal routes. The results of analyses performed in 2012–2017 using water samples collected from a surface water intake point on the Dunajec, from infiltration wells and samples of treated water supplied to the water distribution system were used...
Heavy rainfall events, increasing in frequency and intensity with climate change, impact on the quality of the water resource used for drinking-water production. Small-scale water suppliers are particularly sensitive because of their management and the related difficulties of adapting treatment to variations. Decision-support systems, based on monitoring and analytical tools, need to be developed...
Fluoride contamination is present in most groundwater resources and aluminium (Al) based techniques are mostly adopted for defluoridation of water because of the high affinity between aluminium and fluorides. The presence of residual aluminium in treated drinking water has become a cause of worldwide concern and aluminium based coagulants have come under scrutiny with findings of neuro-toxicity when...
The presence of enteric viruses in drinking water is a potential health risk. Growing interest has arisen in nanometals for water disinfection, in particular the use of silver based nanotechnology. In this study, Lactobacillus fermentum served as reducing agent and bacterial carrier matrix for zerovalent silver nanoparticles, referred to as biogenic Ag0. The antiviral action of biogenic Ag0 was examined...
