World Health Organization (WHO)
- Drinking Water Quality
- Water Sanitation and Health (WSH): The draft papers listed below were presented at the WHO Workshop, 11-13 November 2003, Rome on the topic: Nutrient Minerals in Drinking Water and the Potential Health Consequences of Consumption of Demineralized and Remineralized and Altered Mineral Content Drinking Water. As the title suggests, the principal focus was on desalination and the need for remineralization after treatment and prior to distribution to consumers. Many of the principles of interest in that context also apply to consumption of other waters that have more or less mineralization, and in particular to the presence or absence of calcium and magnesium. The group also addressed water as a source of fluoride contribution to the total diet and the dental health consequences. The information will be considered in the ongoing development of the WHO Guidance for Safe Water Supply and also in future Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality.
  These draft papers are submitted for review and comments. Comments should be sent by e-mail before 31 January 2005.
