Impact of Water Quality on the Inactivation of Bacterial and Viral Pathogens

Abstract

Evaluates the inactivation of bacteria and viruses by disinfectants in the presence of different water matrices (e.g., turbidity, NOM, pH) and provides insights into the mechanistic influences on modeling disinfection data. Research partner: USEPA. Published in 2003.
