Abstract

Assesses the effectiveness of zero-valent iron (ZVI) to remove the pathogenic viruses that pose a serious threat to drinking water safety. Assesses the long-term performance of ZVI and the impacts of potentially important parameters, including natural organic matter (NOM), dissolved oxygen (DO), and pH, on virus removal.
