Study on the allowable concentration of characteristic pollutant based on the protection of drinking water source during the period of water environmental emergencies
Abstract:For the emergent environmental events occurring in the surface water source of decentralized drinking water, standards for characteristic pollutants need to be developed to protect the safety of the surface water source of centralized drinking water at downstream. Based on the premise of the safety of the surface water source of centralized drinking water, this study proposes the maximum allowable concentration requirements and calculation method for the characteristic pollutants in the upstream sections. This allowable concentration will fully guarantee the safety of the drinking water source, and will be also looser than the standard limit of drinking water source. This study can provide reference for environmental emergency response tailored to local conditions. Key words:environmental emergency/ source of drinking water/ allowable concentration.
