Drinking Water Quality Standards

Drinking water quality standards are guidelines set by governments and health organizations to ensure that the water we drink is safe and free from harmful contaminants. These standards specify acceptable levels of various chemicals, microorganisms, and pollutants in water. Regular testing is conducted to ensure compliance, protecting public health and preventing waterborne diseases. Standards vary by country but generally include limits for substances like lead, bacteria, and chemical residues. Meeting these standards helps ensure that drinking water is safe, clean, and suitable for human consumption.
