Human Virus and Bacteriophage Inactivation in Clear Water by Simulated Sunlight Compared to Bacteriophage Inactivation at a Southern California Beach
20 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Few quantitative data exist on human virus inactivation by sunlight and the relationship between human and indicator viruses under sunlit conditions. We investigated the effects of sunlight on human viruses (adenovirus type 2, poliovirus type 3) and bacteriophages (MS2, Q-Beta SP, Fi, M13, PRD1, Phi-X174, and coliphages isolated from Avalon Bay, California). Viruses were inoculated into phosphate buffered saline...
