Topics outlined include: Safe Water System partners; program countries; the CDC/PSI Partnership; PSI social marketing; nursing collaboration; POU treatment options; relative size of waterborne organisms; International Network to Promote HouseholdWater Treatment and Safe Storage; bleach safety; TTHMs vs. time in plastic containers, chlorination only; dosing testing methodology; and, chlorine residual over time in 12 locations.
