Guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality boron: Monitoring

Guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality boron: Monitoring Source water characterization should be part of routine system assessments. Boron is not widely distributed in source water in Canada and tends to be present at elevated concentrations only in groundwater in certain areas. Therefore, utilities should consult the responsible authority to determine if boron may be present in groundwater in their area before establishing monitoring requirements. When boron is present in source water, the frequency of monitoring is linked to treatment and compliance monitoring as discussed below. 2024-06-28 Health Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyGuidelinesCanadiandrinking water quality boronMonitoringSource water characterizationTreatmentCompliance monitoringDistribution systemResidential Guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality boron: MonitoringHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/healthy-living/guidelines-canadian-drinking-water-quality-guideline-technical-document-boron/monitoring.html Guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality boron: MonitoringHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/publications/vie-saine/recommandations-pour-qualite-eau-potable-canada-document-technique-bore/surveillance.html
