Recent Studies from Ohio State University Add New Data to Es-cherichia coli (Bacterial Movement in Subsurface Soil during Winter Irrigation of Reclaimed Wastewater)

摘要

2021 SEP 23 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Research findings on Escherichia coli are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting out of Ohio State University by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Processes to remove and inactivate * * Escherichia coli* * from wastewater effluents and drainage are complex and interrelated. The objective of this study was to determine if irrigation of undisinfected wastewater effluents in the winter moves bacteria to surface water through subsurface drainage, posing a public health risk." Financial supporters for this research include Ohio Water Development Authority. The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Ohio State University: "The central Ohio study site, an open meadow constructed in the 1970s, is irrigated with lagoon effluents each summer.
