A number of studies have dealt with various aspects of the Lagoon environment. A literature review was carried out in 1985 by the Magistrate alle Acqiie and more publications have appeared subsequently. A thorough inspection of all this literature found substantial differences in the analytical procedures used in various studies. It is therefore very difficult to reconstruct the progressive degradation of sediment and water quality by... 

With surface irrigation, water quality control procedures include careful land leveling and controlled water application to ensure adequate and rapid watering of...

Drinking water quality should be taken into account from a human toxicological viewpoint because the main source of drinking water is river water. Japanese regulatory procedures allocate 10% of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) in principle to the intake from drinking water.

But the most-used toxicity tests are based on bioluminescence inhibition, the responses of which are sometimes difficult to interpret particularly for waste-water quality monitoring. A comparison between a bioluminescence test kit (Microtox) and a respirometry approach for the toxicity study of seven organic and five inorganic toxic compounds was performed [54]. The bioluminescent response proved to have a higher sensitivity to toxicants but was less representative of the effects on activated sludge compared to respirometry, due to the nature of the microorganisms involved in each procedure. 

For the control of water quality, the Netherlands government identified two pathways in a tiered procedure. The first path, the emission approach, requires dischargers to apply best available...

In the United States, as control of conventional pollutants has been significantly achieved, increased emphasis is being placed on reduction of toxic pollutants. The EPA has developed a water quality based approach to achieve desired water quality where treatment control based discharge limits have proved to be insufficient [22]. The procedure for establishing effluent limitations for point sources discharging to a water quality based segment generally involves the use of some type of mathematical model or allocation procedure to apportion the allowable...

The XAD procedure was selected on the basis of the comparison of results of complementary methods as mentioned earlier because it is effective in concentrating toxic as well as mutagenic compounds from Rhine water. The investigation demonstrates the application of short-cut biological methods needed for water quality control and complementary to chemical monitoring techniques. 

The water quality necessary will depend on the solutions to be prepared and on the biochemical procedures to be investigated. Water that is purified only by ion exchange will be low in metal ion concentration, but may contain certain organics that are washed from the ion-exchange resin. These contaminants will increase the ultraviolet absorbance properties of water. If sensitive ultraviolet absorbance measurements are to be made, distilled water is better than deionized. 

Sterilization procedures, Air and water quality are covered in appropriate subparts of Table 1.
