Dunea Duin en Water provides drinking water for 1.2 million people in de western part of the province Zuid-Holland. As a source, for their drinking water production, surface water from the river Meuse is used. Organic micro pollutants (OMPs), although in extremely low concentrations, have occasionally been detected in the river Meuse. Obviously, the presence of OMPs in drinking water is very undesirable. The effect of OMPs on human health, when ingested for a prolonged period of time or as a mixture of compounds, is still unknown. Moreover, the increased media attention for OMPs could lead to a loss of consumers trust in drinking water companies as safe and reliable drinking water producers. As a result, customers might tend to use bottled water instead of tap water which is undesirable from a environmental point of view.
