Bibliography

This European Standard is applicable to anionic and non ionic polyacrylamides used for treatment of water intended for human consumption. It describes the characteristics of anionic and non ionic polyacrylamides and specifies the requirements and the corresponding test methods for anionic and non ionic polyacrylamides. It gives information on their use in water treatment.
