Data Review on the Physical/Chemical Removal of Cryptosporidium

Abstract

Critically assesses past Cryptosporidium research results and conclusions about current knowledge and state of interpretation of experimental results, and describes the effectiveness of water treatment processes for removing Cryptosporidium. Presents a statistical model that predicts treatment performance for removing Cryptosporidium. Research partner: USEPA. Published in 2001.
