Assessment of the Fate of Surrogates for Enteric Pathogens Resulting - From the Surcharging of Combined Sewer System

This research contributes towards a better understanding of how the concentration of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis spores, and MS2 bacteriophages in contaminated shallow water bodies and on different urban surfaces is affected by the environmental conditions.

List of contents

Introduction, Effect of artificial solar radiation on the inactivation of pathogen indicator organisms in urban floods, Assessment of microbial sampling methods for flood-prone urban surfaces, Inactivation of E. coli as faecal indicator organism on different surfaces after urban floods, Inactivation of indicator organisms on different urban surfaces after urban floods, Outlook, References.
