Abundance of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Two Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants and Receiving Water in Atlantic Canada
(2017-06-05)Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in pathogenic bacteria confer resistance to many clinically important antibiotics and will, if found in treated wastewater and the environment, threaten public health. Using quantitative ... -
ADVANCING PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESS APPLICATIONS
(2023-12-14)Photoelectrochemical oxygen demand (peCOD) can provide wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) with rapid insight into oxidizable organic matter using greener and user-friendly reagents compared to dichromate chemical ... -
Analysis of Ultraviolet Disinfection on Microbial Activity and Validation of Rapid Testing Methods
(2017-11-30)A faster testing method for quantifying microbiological contamination in wastewater is proposed and validated in this research. ATP analysis, in conjunction with incubation in a nutrient broth to is used to better represent ... -
