Somatic coliphage as a promising fecal viral surrogate for wastewater treatment performance evaluation in tropical coastal region
Abstract
Traditional methods using fecal indicator bacteria as water quality metrics do not accurately represent the risks from viral pathogens, which may follow different fate and removal patterns in wastewater treatment processes.
Fields of Study & Subjects
Fecal contamination and water quality
Pharmaceutical and Antibiotic Environmental Impacts
Wastewater Treatment and Reuse
