The parameters selected for analysis were temp (C), pH, DO (ppm), BOD5 (ppm), Turbidity (NTU), MPN, Hardness (mg/l) and Total coliforms, Standard Plate count and Faecal coliforms. The standards are designated based on WHO guidelines for drinking water quality assessment. Based on the ...
Fluorides are naturally occurring compounds, commonly found in soil, water and air samples around the world, but the levels of these substances are usually much lower than in fluoridated drinking water. Fluoride levels in rivers, lakes and surface waters typically equal0.1-0.2 ppm. ...
According to the policy document, only 65pc of the population had access to safe drinking water, with huge disparities between urban and rural areas and among provinces/regions. Clean drinking water in rural areas is a precious commodity particularly for the people of Tharparkar where elderly and...
At the relatively high oral exposure levels (up to 2000 ppm in drinking water) long-term effects caused by formic acid, the first step metabolite of formaldehyde, such as acidosis, cannot be excluded. The lowest Specific Migration Limit of 2.74 mg/dm2, corresponding to 16.5 mg ...
At a time when the room was unoccupied the CO2 level was increased by the use of fire extinguishers to a level of approximately 10,000 ppm. The CO2 was mixed for 10 min with the air using a 50 cm diameter fan. The CO2 concentration was measured on a location where the overall average...
For fresh water, we propose two spatially defined safe ESBs based on subglobal boundaries that can be aggregated to the global scale: (1) a flow alteration ESB for surface water and (2) a drawdown ESB for groundwater (Table1). Flow alteration in rivers is one of the key drivers of fre...
Some people feel that deionized water (especially if a mixed bed deionizer was used) is so pure that it is very aggressive and unsafe to drink. Others feel that concern is silly. For my part, I wouldn't be comfortable drinking water that comes out of a tube that was recently filled wit...
Table 1. Legal exposure limits for some common epoxy resin system chemicals (California/OSHA).1 PELs are measured as parts of chemical per million parts of air (ppm). The chemicals in adhesive and sealant systems can affect health when they come into contact with the skin, or if they evapo...
