BABrian Allen AllenMJMin Ki JeonSJSunny Jiang

Key Points

  • This research aims to enhance wastewater treatment performance evaluation by using Somatic Coliphage as a fecal viral surrogate.
  • Utilized Somatic Coliphage to assess wastewater treatment efficacy.
  • Compared fecal indicator bacteria and viral pathogens in wastewater.
  • Evaluated water quality metrics in a tropical coastal region.
  • Identified limitations of traditional fecal indicator bacteria for representing viral risks.
  • Demonstrated effective removal patterns of viral pathogens using Somatic Coliphage.
  • Improved public health risk assessments related to wastewater management.

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...
