Title A name given to the resource The 2nd United Nations World Water Development Report: Water, a shared responsibility (WWDR-2) Subject The topic of the resource The triennial UN World Water Development Report is a joint undertaking of 24 UN agencies comprising UN-Water in partnership with governments and other stakeholders, and coordinated by WWAP. The Report builds on the conclusions of the 1st United Nations World Water Development Report 'Water for People, Water for Life' published in 2003. It presents a comprehensive picture of freshwater resources in all regions and most countries of the world as it tracks progress towards the water-related targets of the UN Millennium Development Goals and examines a range of key issues including population growth and increasing urbanization, changing ecosystems, food production, health, industry and energy, as well as risk management, valuing and paying for water and increasing knowledge and capacity. Sixteen case studies look at typical water resource challenges and provide valuable insights into different facets of the water crisis and management responses. Finally, the report outlines a set of conclusions and recommendations to guide future action and encourage sustainable use, productivity and management of our increasingly scarce freshwater resources.

Title A name given to the resource The 3rd United Nations World Water Development Report: Water in a Changing World (WWDR-3) Subject The topic of the resource The triennial World Water Development Report (WWDR) is the United Nations System flagship report on water, a comprehensive review of the state of the world’s freshwater resources. The Reports provide a mechanism for monitoring changes in freshwater resources and their management and tracking progress towards achieving targets, particularly those of the Millennium Development Goals and the World Summit on Sustainable Development. The Reports also offer best practices and in-depth theoretical analyses to help stimulate ideas and actions for better stewardship in the water sector. Co-ordinated by the World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP), the development of the WWDR is a joint effort of the 26 UN agencies and entities that make up UN-Water and is carried out in partnership with UN-Water Partners, governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders.

Title A name given to the resource Fiches synthèses sur l'eau potable et la santé humaine Subject The topic of the resource L’adoption du Règlement sur la qualité de l’eau potable en juin 2001 par le gouvernement du Québec a engendré des changements importants dans la gestion de l’eau potable. À la suite de l’adoption de ce règlement et dans le cadre de ses activités de soutien aux directions de santé publique, le Groupe scientifique sur l’eau de l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) a réalisé un ensemble de fiches synthèses sur les principaux paramètres du règlement ainsi que sur certaines conduites à tenir en cas de problème de qualité de l’eau. Ces fiches présentent notamment les effets possibles à la santé associés à une exposition à divers contaminants de nature microbienne ou chimique. Elles visent également à expliquer la base des normes de qualité de l’eau potable au Québec, les recommandations élaborées par Santé Canada, les normes de l’Agence de protection de l’environnement des États-Unis (US EPA) ainsi que les valeurs guides de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS). Ces fiches d’information ont été produites avec un très grand souci de rigueur scientifique et doivent être considérées comme un condensé de la littérature scientifique disponible au moment de leur rédaction.

Title A name given to the resource Les risques biologiques reliés aux eaux usées (Document en collaboration) Technical Data Sheet # 19 APSAM Subject The topic of the resource Workers in wastewater treatment plants run the risk of exposure to biological contaminants such as bacteria and moulds. Several municipalities and regional health boards have expressed interest in obtaining reliable data on exposure levels to these agents at different workstations. Using proven methods, the IRSST measured contaminant levels at various workstations in the four largest wastewater treatment plants in Québec. Mean total bacteria concentrations exceeded the exposure limit at a few of the 80 sampling stations. The concentration of Gram-negative bacteria exceeded the exposure limit at only one station. The mean concentration of moulds exceeded the equivalent concentration in outdoor air at several stations. The microbiological quality of outdoor air did not appear to be affected by the operations at these plants.

Title A name given to the resource Environmental Hazards Weigh Heavy on the Heart Subject The topic of the resource This 4-page fact sheet is available in English. It provides basic information related to the environment and its link with heart disease in older adults. The intended audience is older adults and their caregivers. This fact sheet summarizes environmental factors and how they can affect the health of older adults. It also suggests how older adults can minimize their exposure to air and water pollutants that contribute to heart disease and stroke or worsen their symptoms.
