Abstract Sulfate radicals have been increasingly used for the pathogen inactivation due to their strong redox ability and high selectivity electron-rich species in last decade. The application of sulfate water disinfection has become a very promising technology. However, there is currently lack reviews inactivated pathogenic microorganisms. At same time, less attention paid by-products produced...

Viable ova of Ascaris lumbricoides, an indicator organism for pathogens, are frequently found in feces-derived compost produced from ecological toilets, demonstrating that threshold levels of time, temperature, pH, and moisture content for pathogen inactivation are not routinely met. Previous studies have determined that NH(3) has ovicidal properties for pathogens, including Ascaris ova. This r...

Adenovirus has consistently been observed to be the most resistant known pathogen to disinfection by ultraviolet light. This has had an impact on regulations set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding the use of UV disinfection for virus inactivation in groundwater and surface water. In this study, enhancement of UV inactivation of adenovirus was evaluated when hydrogen ...
