Two cases of taste and odor episodes in raw and groundwater in the Barcelona (NE Spain) metropolitan area are described. The first was caused by creosote, a distill of coal tar, dumped into river water by two wood-preserving factories. The second taste and odor episode was caused by the presence of a potent odorous compound, the 2-ethyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane, in different groundwater samples. This compound is a by-product present in wastes from resin manufacturing plants that use neopentyl glycol as a raw material for acid-catalysed condensations.

Amphibole Asbestos

Approximately 60,000 tons per day of waste from taconite mining, tailing, are added to the west arm of Lake Superior at Silver Bay. Tailings contain nearly the same amount of quartz and amphibole asbestos, cummingtonite and actinolite in fibrous form. Cummingtonite fibres from 0.01μm in length have been found in the water supply for Minnesota municipalities.The purpose of the research work was to develop a method for asbestos fibre counts and identification in water and apply it for the enumeration of fibres in water samples collected(a) at various stations in Lake Superior at two depth: lm and at the bottom.(b) from various rivers in Lake Superior Drainage Basin.

Bacterial Biofilm

Studies of bacterial behavior in many environments have shown that most organisms attach to surfaces, forming communities of microcolonies called biofilms. In contaminated medical devices, biofilms may serve both as reservoirs and as inocula for the initiation of infections. Recently, there has been much concern about the potential of dental units to transmit infections. Because the mechanisms of biofilm formation are ill-defined, we investigated the behavior and formation of a biofilm associated with tubing leading to the water syringe of a dental unit over a period of 1 month.
