Excerpt
A Working Group on Sodium, Chlorides and Conductivity in Drinking- Water was convened in Voorburg (The Hague) from 1 to 5 May 1978 by the WHO Regional Office for Europe in collaboration with the Netherlands Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection. In the 1977 Working Group on Health Hazards from Drinking-Water, held in London, several participants suggested that there should be further discussion on sodium and related parameters in drinking-water. This recommendation was adopted by the Regional Office for Europe and the Government of the Netherlands extended its hospitality. The National Institute for Water Supply and the Department of International Affairs of the Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection played major roles in organizing the meeting.
