Fate and Persistence of Pathogens Subjected to Ultraviolet Light and Chlorine Disinfection

Abstract

Disinfection of wastewater is a necessary treatment process for protecting the public from potential exposure to pathogenic microorganisms because many wastewater effluents are discharged into waterbodies that may be used for recreation or as future drinking water supplies. Published by WERF. 122 pages. Soft cover.

Originally funded as WERF project 98-HHE-2.
