| Description | Viable pathogens are generally present at every stage of wastewater treatment. Thus a potential airborne infectious pathway due to microbial aerosols exists, particularly at activated sludge treatment plants. In this study the concentration of sewage-borne indicator bacteria and viruses in effluent aerosols was determined and the exposure to such aerosols by treatment plant workers was estimated. Initial aerosol collection with fog-gage screen collectors yielded erratic results due especially... U.S. Department of the Interior Grant/Contract No. 14-34-0001-1113 (A-088-HI) |
