Indicators of microbial water quality
Current guidelines in the three water-related areas (drinking water, wastewater and recreational water) assess quality, in microbiological terms, by measuring indicator organisms. This chapter looks at the history and examines some of the methods used to assess the microbiological quality of water, highlighting the current limitations and also possible future developments. Traditionally, indica...
متن کاملA defined substrate technology for the enumeration of microbial indicators of environmental pollution.
The examination of water and other environmental sources for microbial pollution is a major public health undertaking. Currently, there are two accepted methods in use: the multiple-tube fermentation (MTF) and the membrane filtration (MF) tests. Both methods are designed to enumerate the secondary indicator group, total coliforms. Both tests suffer several inherent limitations, including a time...
متن کاملHydroquinone: Environmental Pollution, Toxicity, and Microbial Answers
Hydroquinone is a major benzene metabolite, which is a well-known haematotoxic and carcinogenic agent associated with malignancy in occupational environments. Human exposure to hydroquinone can occur by dietary, occupational, and environmental sources. In the environment, hydroquinone showed increased toxicity for aquatic organisms, being less harmful for bacteria and fungi. Recent pieces of ev...
متن کاملAlternative Microbial Indicators of Faecal Pollution: Current Perspective
Worldwide coliform bacteria are used as indicators of fecal contamination and hence, the possible presence of disease causing organisms. Therefore, it is important to understand the potential and limitations of these indicator organisms before realistically implementing guidelines and regulations to safeguard our water resources and public health. This review addresses the limitations of curren...
متن کاملTeeth as Indicators of Environmental Pollution with Lead
Human civilization and concomitant increase in industrial activity have gradually influenced in redistribution of many toxic metals form the earth’s crust to the surrounding environment resulting in exposure of human population. Among different toxic elements, heavy metals, lead in particular, have high prevalence in the environment. Understanding of lead toxicity has advanced substantially ove...
