WHO's Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality

WHO's Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality set international standards to ensure water is safe and healthy to drink. They specify maximum allowable levels for contaminants like bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and pollutants, based on scientific research. The goal is to protect public health by minimizing waterborne diseases and exposure to harmful substances. These guidelines serve as a benchmark for governments and water suppliers worldwide to assess, improve, and maintain water quality, promoting safe, clean water for communities and individuals. They are adaptable to local conditions, emphasizing the importance of regular testing and proper treatment.
