The goals of the Committee are to grow and assist the Federation, both domestic and international, in the educational aspects of these disinfection and public health issues.

Disinfection & Public Health Committee members serve as WEF’s technical resource for all topics related to disinfection including, but not limited to:

• New approaches to disinfection, optimization of proven methods, and the use of existing technologies for new applications;
• Disinfection regulations, standards and permit compliance;
• Disinfection byproducts and other challenges
• The design, operation and maintenance of disinfection systems
• Wet weather and reclaimed water disinfection;
• Proper handling and environmental safety of disinfectants
• Community sanitation and clean drinking water efforts
  
  

Products
Volunteers share their knowledge of these and other topics by:

• Developing workshops and moderating technical sessions each year at WEFTEC®;
• Sponsoring a biannual disinfection specialty conference;
• Authoring articles for WEF's technical journals;
• Participating in the development of educational materials such as books, webcasts, distance learning courses and more;
• Providing comments to WEF Government Affairs on Federation Position Statements and U.S. government regulations and policies.

Meetings

The Disinfection & Public Health Committee meets at committee-associated conferences and each year at WEFTEC. Most committee business, however, is conducted via teleconference or email.
