UV Inactivation of Viruses in Natural Waters

Abstract

Determines the UV dosages needed to kill the human pathogenic viruses (polio, rotavirus, and hepatitis A) as well as the surrogate MS-2 virus in actual groundwater samples. Based on post disinfection studies, provides side-by-side comparison of chlorine to chloramines for cross connection protection and regrowth control in distribution systems. Published in 2000.
