In 1980, the EPA pubHshed ambient water quaHty criteria for silver. An upper limit of 50 f-lg/L in natural waters was set to provide adequate protection against adverse health effects (38). In 1992, EPA deleted the human health criteria for silver from the ambient water quaHty criteria to be consistent with the drinking water standards (39). 

Analytical Methods. A classical and stiU widely employed analytical method is iodimetric titration. This is suitable for determination of sodium sulfite, for example, in boiler water. Standard potassium iodate—potassium iodide solution is commonly used as the titrant with a starch or starch-substitute indicator. Sodium bisulfite occurring as an impurity in sodium sulfite can be determined by addition of hydrogen peroxide to oxidize the bisulfite to bisulfate, followed by titration with standard sodium hydroxide (279).

At the Taylor Road landfill (originally intended for the disposal of municipal refuse only), unknown quantities of hazardous wastes from industrial and residential sources were deposited. During the period when the landfill was active, soil and groundwater samples collected at the site were found to contain concentrations of volatile organic compounds and metals above acceptable safe drinking water standards. Analysis of samples collected from private drinking water wells indicated that contamination... 

Today resource limitations have caused the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to reassess schedules for new rules. A 1987 USEPA survey indicated there were approximately 202,000 public water systems in the United States. About 29 percent of these were community water systems, which serve approximately 90 percent of the population. Of the 58,908 community systems that serve about 226 million people, 51,552 were classified as "small" or "very small." Each of these systems at an average serves a population of fewer than 3300 people. The total population served by these systems is approximately 25 million people. These figures provide us with a magnitude of scale in meeting drinking water demands in the United States. Compliance with drinking water standards is not...

Water sample collection techniques differ depending on the source being tested. The minimum number of water samples collected from a distribution system which are examined each month for coliforms is a function of the population. For example, the minimum number required for populations of 1,000 and 100,000 are 2 and 100, respectively. To ascertain compliance with the bacteriological requirements of drinking water standards, a certain number of positive tests must not be exceeded. When 10-ml standard portions are examined, not more than 10 percent in any month should be positive (that is, the upper limit of coliform density is an average of one per 100 ml). 

The boiler-water standards for shell boilers, as given in BS2486 1978 for 2, 20 and 40 bar, respectively, indicate that some parameters are fairly insensitive to pressure, whilst others are not. Thus, sodium phosphate should fall within the range 50 to lOOmg/kg and sodium sulphite between 30 and 70 mg/kg for each of these pressures. Total alkalinity should have a maximum value of 1 200 mg/kg at 2 bar and 700 mg/kg at both 20 and 40 bar, with the corresponding caustic alkalinity at 350 300 and 200 mg/kg. Silica should be less than 40% of the caustic alkalinity in each case. Total hardness should be undetectable in all cases. Dissolved solids maxima are given as 3 500, 3 000 and 2000 mg/kg, again at 2, 20 and 40 bar.

The capability of advanced technologies in the production of regenerated water for industrial reuse has been illustrated in this chapter. The reuse of regenerated water in industrial activities has been demonstrated as an effective tool for sustainable industrial development under water scarcity conditions as it can provide a big deal of the large amounts of water needed in those activities and moreover it can customize the regenerated water characteristics to the water standards required in different industrial activities by means of adequate combination of available advanced technologies.

EPA has set a drinking water standard of 5 parts of trichloroethylene per one billion parts of water (ppb). One ppb is 1,000 times less than 1 ppm. This standard became effective on January 9, 1989, and applies to community water systems and those that serve the same 25 or more persons for at least 6 months. EPA requires industries to report spills of 1,000 pounds or more of trichloroethylene. It has been proposed that this level be reduced to 100 pounds.
