Assessing Waterborne Health Risks: Through Quantitative Risk Assessment Models
Pierre Payment, Centre INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier
In drinking water treatment, a balance must be maintained between the highest microbial safety, while limiting the long term chemical risk from disinfection by-products. To achieve this, Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) models are used to attain a level of acceptability in engineering and public health.
