Water disinfection: microbes versus molecules—an introduction of issues

چکیده
"Water is, apart from the air one breathes, the only nutrient which is, as a matter of necessity, consumed by every human being from the first day to the last day of his existence, and it is consumed in considerably larger quantities than any other nutritional substance."(1)

Impact of Particle Aggregated Microbes on UV Disinfection. II: Proper Absorbance Measurement for UV Fluence
Ultraviolet UV absorbance measurements are subject to significant error using a standard spectrophotometer when particles or aggregates that scatter light are present. True UV absorbance for highly turbid waters should be measured using integrating sphere IS spectrophotometry that allows the collection of reflected and transmitted radiation simultaneously. This is especially important when the ...
متن کاملDetermination of Trace Concentrations of Oxyhalides and Bromide in Municipal and Bottled Waters Using a Hydroxide-Selective Column with a Reagent-Free Ion Chromatography System
INTRODUCTION All drinking water municipalities share the same goal of providing their communities with a reliable source of safe drinking water. To achieve this goal, most water systems must treat their water. The type of treatment used varies depending on the size, source, and water quality. Disinfection protects public water systems (PWSs) from potentially dangerous microbes. The most common ...
متن کاملNontuberculous mycobacteria in the environment.
It is likely that the incidence of infection by environmental opportunistic mycobacteria will continue to rise. Part of the rise will be caused by the increased awareness of these microbes as human pathogens and improvements in methods of detection and culture. Clinicians and microbiologists will continue to be challenged by the introduction of new species to the already long list of mycobacter...
متن کاملImpact of Particle Aggregated Microbes on UV Disinfection. I: Evaluation of Spore–Clay Aggregates and Suspended Spores
Aggregation of microbes with particles can reduce the effectiveness of ultraviolet UV disinfection. This study evaluated the comparative impact of dispersed spores, dispersed spores mixed with clay particles nonaggregated , spore–spore aggregates, and spore– clay aggregates on UV disinfection performance in simulated drinking waters. Aggregates were induced by flocculation with alum and charact...
متن کاملEffect of one Bout Continuous Versus Intermittent Aerobic Exercise on Plasma Levels of Intercellular Adhesion Molecules 1 and Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecules 1 in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease
Introduction: Adhesion molecules play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and the type of training may affect the response to these indicators. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of a continuous versus interval aerobic training session on plasma levels of intercellular adhesion molecules 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecules ...
