Chemical Analysis
Water plays an important role as a chemical substance, its many important functions include being a good solvent for dissolving many solids, serving as an excellent coolant both mechanically and biologically, and acting as a reactant in many chemical reactions.
One of the main aims of chemical testing is to check the quality of materials by identifying what they are made of, and whether they contain anything that shouldn’t be there according to relevant standards, requirements or regulations.
In general, approaches to the management of chemical hazards in drinking-water vary between those where the source water is a significant contributor (with control effected, for example, through source water selection, pollution control, treatment or blending) and those from materials and chemicals used in the production and distribution of drinking-water (controlled by process optimization or product specification). Chemicals are therefore divided into five major source groups,
1. Naturally occurring: Rocks, soils and the effects of the geological setting and climate, eutrophic water bodies (also influenced by sewage inputs and agricultural runoff)
2. Industrial sources and human dwellings: Mining (extractive industries) and manufacturing and processing industries, sewage, solid wastes, urban runoff, fuel leakages.
3. Agricultural activities: Manures, fertilizers, intensive animal practices and pesticides
4. Water treatment or materials in contact with drinking water: Coagulants, DBPs, piping materials.
5. Pesticides used in water for public health: Larvicides used in the control of insect vectors of disease
Microbiological Parameters
The greatest risk to public health from microbes in water is associated with consumption of drinking-water that is contaminated with human and animal excreta, although other sources and routes of exposure may also be significant. Waterborne pathogens have several properties that distinguish them from other drinking-water contaminants:
- Pathogens can cause acute and also chronic health effects
- Some pathogens can grow in the environment
- Pathogens are discrete
- Pathogens are often aggregated or adherent to suspended solids in water, and pathogen concentrations vary in time, so that the likelihood of acquiring an infective dose cannot be predicted from their average concentration in water
- Exposure to a pathogen resulting in disease depends upon the dose, invasiveness and virulence of the pathogen, as well as the immune status of the individual
- If infection is established, pathogens multiply in their host
- Certain waterborne pathogens are also able to multiply in food, beverages or warm water systems, perpetuating or even increasing the likelihood of infection
- Unlike many chemical agents, pathogens do not exhibit a cumulative effect
