2 EU-5th Framework program: Energy, environment and sustainable development; project EVK1-CT-2002-00123: MICRORISK © Kiwa 2006 2 Microbiologically safe drinking water Council directive 98/83/EC Article 1. Objective is to protect human health from the adverse effects of any contamination by ensuring that it is wholesome and clean. Article 4. Water is wholesome and clean if it is free from any micro-organisms and parasites and from any substances which, in numbers or concentrations, constitute a potential danger to human health Operationally translated (Article 4) into meeting the requirements in Annex I. Microbiological safety: E.coli 0/100ml(Clostridium perfringens 0/100ml) enterococci 0/100ml

Adelaide: again Poisson best, but poor similarity of shape Nr of non-consumers higher than nr consuming 1 glass Diary study in pilot most valuable

58 EU-5th Framework program: Energy, environment and sustainable development; project EVK1-CT-2002-00123: MICRORISK © Kiwa 2006 58 Recommendations for QMRA Use country specific data and distributions (when available) Use mean as conservative approach, instead of median (skewed distribution) Beware for inter-country AND intra-country differences (Adelaide vs Melbourne) Several datasets available? Use data generated with best study design Otherwise: use highest consumption estimates as conservative approach (data Melbourne)
