Safe Drinking Water

Dr. Rip G. Rice received his PhD degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Maryland, and has more than 36 years of varied experience in the deferal government, aerospace, the chemical industry, and as a private consultant in government liaison, envitonmental engineering, and water and wastewater treatment. In 1973, Dr. Rice co-founded the Internation Ozone Association, is a member of its Board of Directors, and has served as its President during 1982 and 1983. During the period 1977-1980, he was a member of a consulting team of speacialists funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to survey and analyze European and Canadian water treatment practices involving the used of ozone, chlorine dioxide, granular activated carbon, and biological treatment processes. Recently, Dr. Rice conducted an extensive literature review of the oxidation products formed when drinking water is treated with various oxidizing agents, for EPA's Office of Drinking Water. Dr. Rice is coeditor of the series of books entitled, "Handbook of Ozone Technology and Applications," and coauthor of the book "Biological Activated Carbon," both published by Ann Arbor Science Publishers, Inc. In addition, Dr. Rice has edited 10 monographsand proceedings for the International Ozone Association. A member of the AWWA, WPCF, Sigma Xi, IOA, AiChE, the International Bottled Water Association, and the Technology Transfer Society, Dr. Rice recently has been appointed to teh Joint U.S./USSR Work Group on the Prevention of Water Pollution from Industrial and Municipal Sources, directed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
