Water reuse is a growing global reality. In regulating water reuse, viruses have come to the
fore as key pathogens due to high shedding rates, low infectious doses, and resilience to …

Peroxyacids (POAs) are a promising alternative to chlorine for reducing the formation of
disinfection byproducts. However, their capacity for microbial inactivation and mechanisms …

Understanding the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 biomarkers in wastewater should guide
wastewater-based epidemiology users in selecting best RNA biomarkers for reliable …

Virus concentrations measured in municipal wastewater help inform both the water
treatment necessary to protect human health and wastewater-based epidemiology …

Identification of emerging disinfection byproducts (DBPs) of health relevance is important to
uncover the health risk of drinking water observed in epidemiology studies. In this study …

Free available chlorine (FAC) is widely used to inactivate viruses by oxidizing viral
components, including genomes. It is commonly assumed that hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is …

High genetic diversity in RNA viruses contributes to their rapid adaptation to environmental
stresses, including disinfection. Insufficient disinfection can occur because of the emergence …

The inactivation efficacy by monochloramine for disinfecting gastroenteritis-causing
rotaviruses (RV) and Tulane viruses (TV), a surrogate for noroviruses, were evaluated in this …

The continued threat of contamination of municipal water supplies necessitates the
systematic evaluation of the efficacy of existing unit processes to protect public health and …
