To determine the transmission cycle of ribonucleic acid (RNA) coliphages in their natural habitats, we investigated the distribution patterns of RNA phages in raw sewage collected from treatment plants in various localities in Japan. Most of the sewage samples contained group II ...

Sewage treatment plant effluents were surveyed for viral contributions to gastroenteritis outbreaks in Puerto Rico. Of the 15 sewage treatment plants studied, all discharged their effluents upstream from water treatment plant intakes. No base-line data on the degree of viral chal...

The presence of Salmonella spp. was investigated at three sewage treatment plants in Oslo, Norway. Salmonella bacteria were isolated from floor surfaces and areas with hand contact in the treatment plant, from floor surfaces and areas with hand contact in the treatment plant, fro...

Employees at six sewage treatment plants and three drinking water plants were interviewed for the presence of specific medical symptoms. Serum immunoglobulin concentrations, white blood cell counts and fibrinogen degradation product concentrations (FDP) in urine were determined a...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and dissemination of human astroviruses (HAstV) in the environment by analyzing urban sewage samples from a wastewater treatment plant in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A one-year study was performed with a total of ...

The genotoxicity of untreated and treated sewage from two municipal wastewater treatment plants (WTP BN and WTP SJN) in the municipality of Porto Alegre, in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, was evaluated over a one-year period using the Tradescantia pallida var....

Several groups of bacteria were isolated and identified in an evaluation of the microbiological properties of a sewage treatment system involving the process of controlled eutrophication in a marine setting (J. G. Songer, N. M. Trieff, R. F. Smith, and D. Grajcer, 1974). Fecal co...

The inactivation of naturally occurring bacterial indicators and bacteriophages by thermal treatment of a dewatered sludge and raw sewage was studied. The sludge was heated at 80°C, and the sewage was heated at 60°C. In both cases phages were significantly more resistant to therm...

A single-step most-probable-number method for enumerating fecal coliforms in sewage treatment plant effluents is described. The method requires the use of only one lactose-based medium and a single incubation temperature of 44.5 degrees C, and it can be completed in 18 h or less,...

Nowadays there is a concern regarding the waste from Healthcare Facilities, mainly related to solid waste. Nevertheless, the liquid portion of it has not been thoroughly studied so far. The disposing of the Healthcare Facilities waste water into the municipal sewage without any k...

The use of wastewater is an alternative widespread nowadays. One way to reuse it in fish activity, considering that the effluent from Sewage Treatment Stations, are rich sources of nutrients that could be used by fish. However, some restrictions arise regarding the quality of ani...

This study was motivated by the need to treat high wastewater influent exceeding in sewage treatment plants, which occurs on days of heavy rain. The central hypothesis of this study is that the physical-chemical process to treat dilute sewage overflow, it can be advantageous with...

Treatment systems, even for water potabilization or to reduce the amount of pollutants in wastewater, include physical, chemical and biological processes, and waste generation are inherent to water or sewage treatment plants. Solid waste generated in water treatment plants have i...

Pharmaceutical drugs have been detected in sewage treatment plants, surface waters, underground waters and potable waters. Some investigations have been conducted in several countries such as Germany, Brazil, Canada, United States, The Netherlands, England and Italy. Patients and...

Basic sanitation is a public service with the most deficiency in infrastructure in Brazil, in particular the service of collection and treatment of sewage followed by collection services and waste treatment. The scenary of sanitation in Brazil, especially in the big cities, it be...

In this study, Norwalk-like virus (NLV) RNA was detected by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) in sewage water concentrates. Sequence analysis of the RT-PCR products revealed identical sequences in stools of patients and related sewage samples. In 6 of 11 outbreak-unrelated follo...

Legionella spp. are ubiquitous in most environmental water sources; however, sewage treatment plants have not been examined as potential environmental reservoirs for these bacteria. This study used polymerase chain reaction, direct fluorescent-antibody staining, and culture metho...

A medium composed of 0.009% sodium azide, 0.07% sodium deoxycholate, and 0.0007% ethyl violet in Brain Heart Infusion Agar (Difco) and a process of incubation in an atmosphere of 90% N2 and 10% CO2 for the selective isolation of certain members of the intestinal bacteroides are d...
