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.
