Safety guidelines for copper in water [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1998 It is important for public health authorities to set a scientifically sound guideline value for the safe ingestion of copper in drinking water. To date, the principal health-based guideline values have been set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (1.3 mg Cu/L) and the World Health Organization (2.0 mg Cu/L). However, close examination of the data

Geodesign the multi-layered water safety
Research in Urbanism Series, 2016 This paper aims to frame the multi-layered water safety concept in the context of a systematic, thorough, multidisciplinary and collaborative methodology for complex problems solving, i.e. geodesign. Multi-layered safety is an integrated flood risk management (FRM) concept based not only on flood probability reduction through prevention (layer 1), but ...
