24 p. The World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe, in collaboration with the Government of Belgium, convened a working group on health significance of chemicals occurring naturally in drinking-water in Brussels on 20–23 March 1978. This meeting was one of a series of working groups concerned with different aspects of drinking-water, the results of which will serve as an input into the preparation of a new revision of the WHO standards for drinking-water. The working group concerned itself with the health significance of removing inorganic substances occurring naturally in drinking-water, an insufficiency of which might impair health. An important part of the discussion dealt with the relationship between mineral content and cardiovascular diseases, and special reference was made to demineralized and desalinated water. Some researchers believe that the presence or absence of a certain substance in drinking-water is directly associated with the differences in death rates from heart disease. Other researchers have suggested that water quality may be an indicator of other environmental conditions and that it may be these that have a direct effect on heart disease. The conclusions of the working group are general and apply to all potable water. The recommendations regarding additions refer specifically to water such as is produced by desalination and certain demineralization techniques. The desirability of adding substances to natural water must be evaluated with due regard to local conditions.
