Safely Managed Hygiene: A Risk-Based Assessment of Handwashing Water Quality
Matthew Eric Verbyla, Timothy R. Julian
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 6.2.1 requires household handwashing facilities to have soap and water, but there are no guidelines for handwashing water quality. In contrast, drinking water quality guidelines are defined: water must be "free ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2019Impact of different light intermittence regimes on bacteria during simulated solar treatment of secondary effluent: Implications of the inserted dark periods
César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis
In this study, the effect of light intermittence on solar disinfection of secondary treated wastewater was investigated. Synthetic secondary effluent was spiked with Escherichia coli and submitted to 3 different light intermittence regimes by circulating t ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2013The Toxoplasma gondii plastid replication and repair enzyme complex, PREX
A plastid-like organelle, the apicoplast, is essential to the majority of medically and veterinary important apicomplexan protozoa including Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium. The apicoplast contains multiple copies of a 35 kb genome, the replication of whi ...
Cambridge University Press2009Uncertainty in prediction of disinfection performance
Predicting the disinfection performance of a full-scale reactor in drinking water treatment is associated with considerable uncertainty. In view of quantitative risk analysis, this study assesses the uncertainty involved in predicting inactivation of Crypt ...
2007Modeling Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst inactivation and bromate in a flow-through ozone contactor treating natural water
A reactive transport model was developed to simultaneously predict Cryptosporidium parvuum oocyst inactivation and bromate formation during ozonation of natural water. A mechanistic model previously established to predict bromate formation in organic-free ...
2007Implications of sequential use of UV and ozone for drinking water quality
Urs von Gunten, Silvio Canonica
The formation of bromate levels exceeding the drinking water standard of 10 mu g L-1 may impose the reduction of ozone doses used in the treatment of drinking water. This paper illustrates the procedure of evaluating the use of reduced ozone doses while im ...
2006Mécanismes d'action du TiO2 illuminé sur Escherichia Coli
The increase of bacterial resistance against various disinfection processes is a worrying phenomenon. As a consequence, the search for alternative techniques for fighting micro-organisms has become one of the major issues of these last few years. In this d ...
EPFL2006Simultaneous prediction of Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst inactivation and bromate formation during ozonation of synthetic waters
A model was developed to simultaneously assess Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst inactivation and bromate formation during ozonation of synthetic solutions in batch and flow-through reactors. The model incorporated 65 elementary chemical reactions involved in ...
2004Specific recognition of the viral protein UL18 by CD85j/LIR-1/ILT2 on CD8+ T cells mediates the non-MHC-restricted lysis of human cytomegalovirus-infected cells
Immune evasion mechanisms of human CMV are known; however, the immune control of infection remains poorly elucidated. We show that interaction between the viral protein UL18 on infected cells and the invariant receptor CD85j/LIR-1/ILT2 expressed on CTL is ...
2004Ozonation of drinking water: Part II. Disinfection and by-product formation in presence of bromide, iodide or chlorine
Ozone is an excellent disinfectant and can even be used to inactivate microorganisms such as protozoa which are very resistant to conventional disinfectants. Proper rate constants for the inactivation of microorganisms are only available for six species (E ...
