"Potable Water Safety: What an Industrial Hygienist Needs to Know"
11:30 - 4:00 PM -- KML Regional Council of Carpenters - Robinson, PA
Fresh, clean, safe drinking water is often taken for granted. This has become very evident with the lack of “safe” drinking water in Houston, Florida Mexico and the Caribbean in the wake of recent hurricanes and earthquakes. Water is not something that IH’s typically concern themselves with but in the past year or so it has become a bigger and bigger issue in my work at the university and possibly in yours also. During this half-day event, we explored what needs to be done to assure the water we drink, cool with, bath in and use in our homes, schools and workplaces is free of contaminants that can make us sick.
Thank you to the 31 Pittsburgh AIHA Members and guests who attended this event.
