Question
What are the health impacts of waterborne microbes in drinking water?
Answer
Rationale
Data
Health impacts of waterborne microbes depends on the following parameters:
- Exposure to pathogens
- Drinking water consumption
- Concentrations of pathogens in drinking water
Calculations
RCode
Daily cold tap water use of Finns
Log decrease of concentration of microbes in drinking water due to water treatment
Pathogen concentration in drinking water
The amount of pathogens an average water consumer is exposed to in a day
