Abstract
In the developed countries, it is a commonly held belief that drinking water can be kept clean and safe with minimal effort and cost and that waterborne infectious disease is well understood, controlled, and a problem of the past. The common view is that such problems are now confined to the developing world. Drinking Water and Infectious Disease counters this assumption with facts, and by the end of the book, the reader cannot deny the tenuous reality of our “safe-water” status.Keywords
