Drinking water treatment plants put a lot of emphasis on monitoring quality of water released to communities for consumption. The presence of indicator organisms such as E. Coli is used a standard measure of the safety of the water. In recent years it has been discovered that the presence of emerging pollutants, which are not part of the standard water quality measurement protocols may pose long term health effects. Briefly discuss 5 emerging pollutants that are currently of concern in South Africa. Indicate the possible health effects they may pose, the minimum concentrations of concern and propose a quality control strategy that can be implemented in existing plants to monitor these pollutants. [15] NB. Your discussion should be at least one and a half pages of 1.5 spacing and it should include a minimum of 5 journal articles used as references.
