Webinar 6: Dealing with Water Quality Challenges for Water Supply

Drinking water sources can contain a wide range of chemical contaminants. The contaminants vary by location, water type and over time. Targeted research into diverse contaminants provides insight into the occurrence of these contaminants, which can then be tested against standards or (provisional) guideline values. In addition, more integrated screening approaches help shed light on the diversity of substances in the constantly changing state of the (drinking) water cycle. To address the many challenges for the supply of drinking water in terms of chemical water quality, it is necessary to develop and apply analytical methods and techniques and to gain insight into chemical threats and their associated health risks.
