(9781416535454). 333.91.<br \/>\nAs development spreads and water resources are stretched to the limit, one essential resource, water, is\u00a0becoming increasingly commodified and the subject of corporate interest and investment as well as\u00a0lawsuits when consumers weigh in with their concerns. How did we get to such a place, and what does the\u00a0future hold for water quality and supply in the U.S. and around the world? Prud\u2019homme examines the\u00a0everyday products whose use affects the quality and the supply of water, including fertilizers, antibacterial\u00a0soap, and prescription drugs containing chemicals that later find their ways into water and sewage\u00a0treatment systems to the detriment of the ecosystem. Prud\u2019homme takes as a starting point the mysterious\u00a0death in 2005 of a hydrochemist killed while taking water samples in Passaic, New Jersey, a hotbed for\u00a0controversies over water. Proceeding from it, he offers historical and current perspectives on incidents\u00a0ranging from the \u201cblack mayonnaise\u201d of sludge found in New York neighborhoods to the 2010 Gulf of\u00a0Mexico BP oil rig blowout.
