Nematodes
Rolling revision of the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality
Nematodes are included in the plan of work of the rolling revision of the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality.
Background
Several WHO regions (e.g. EMRO) have inquired about nematodes in drinking-water. The Third Edition does not specifically deal with nematodes in any detail. The meeting was asked to consider this issue.
Expected end-product(s)
Fact sheet on nematodes, for inclusion in the second addendum
Progress to date
The GDWQ WG meeting (Geneva, 2005) agreed on a plan of work. The GDWQ WG meeting (Geneva, 2006) agreed that the fact sheet should be posted for review purposes once internal review comments had been taken into consideration.
