Abstract
The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery has concerns about the effects of our environment on human health. In this review we evaluate waterborne biologic organisms, microorganisms, and other disease-causing agents that might pollute our drinking water. Next, we evaluate chemical toxins that might pollute our drinking water. Then we examine our drinking water and wastewater treatment systems. Finally, we discuss management strategies.
