Description:
POU/POE may be a cost-effective option for reductions of a particular chemical to achieve water quality compliance under certain situations and given restrictions. Proactive consumers seeking to reduce exposure to potential pathogens, trace chemicals, and nanoparticles not currently regulated/monitored in the potable water. Water security - Proactive role as an additional treatment barrier for vulnerable or high-asset buildings. Mobile treatment for potable water above the limited supply of bottled water during emergency relief. POUs following decontamination of pipes as a preventive barrier until contaminant residuals are no longer a threat. Mobile technologies for treating decontamination wastewaters.
