Philippe Quevauviller & Olivier Thomas 
Wastewater Quality Monitoring and Treatment 

The issue of water quality monitoring is becoming a huge area as
the EU requirements for cleaner water increase. On-line monitoring
involves measuring a body of water constantly and in-situ as
opposed to analysing samples in the lab. Currently filling the gap
in the market, Wastewater Quality Monitoring: On-line
Methods provides information on how to produce the best
analyses of wastewater in order to meet the above mentioned
requirements.

This reference will prove invaluable to all local water
companies, industrial companies producing wastewater, as well
as environment agencies and researchers.

About the author

Philippe Quevauviller has published more than 200 papers and several books linked to environmental quality measurements. He joined the Research General-Directorate of the European Commission in 1989 where he was scientific officer on topics dealing with the quality control of environmental analysis. Since 2002, he has integrated the Water & Marine Unit of the EC Environment Directorate-General where is now responsible for the development of a new Groundwater Directive which will complement the existing water policy framework. He is part-time professor at the K.U.Leuven where he teaches ‘water quality and treatment’ in an Interuniversity programme on Water Resources.
