Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viable pathogens are generally present at every stage of wastewater treatment. Thus a potential airborne infectious pathway due to microbial aerosols exists, particularly at activated sludge treatment plants. In this study the concentration of sewage-borne indicator bacteria and viruses in effluent aerosols was determined and the exposure to such aerosols by treatment plant workers was estimated. Initial aerosol collection with fog-gage screen collectors yielded erratic results due especially to lack of control over sampled air volume and slit openings too large for effective collection. Standard Andersen and glass impinger collectors were used throughout the field study. Areas downwind of aeration basins yielded as much as 1 657 CFU/m^3 total bacteria and 1.8 CFU/m^3 coliphage. These aerosols were mostly 2.1 to 3.3 μm droplet nuclei with a high potential for inhalation and bronchial retention. The inhalation of microbial aerosols by Wahiawa treatment plant workers was estimated to be between 48 to 94 total bacteria/person/day above background levels. The inhaled total coliform level may average 8 to 27 CFU/person/day. This usually short duration and sometimes intense exposure could not be implicated directly to cause adverse health effects. Correlations of statistical tabulations of sick-leave illness with degree of exposure were not significant at the 0.01 or the 0.05 level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides the latest QMRA methodologies to determine infection risk cause by either accidental microbial infections or deliberate infections caused by terrorism • Reviews the latest methodologies to quantify at every step of the microbial exposure pathways, from the first release of a pathogen to the actual human infection • Provides techniques on how to gather information, on how each microorganism moves through the environment, how to determine their survival rates on various media, and how people are exposed to the microorganism • Explains how QMRA can be used as a tool to measure the impact of interventions and identify the best policies and practices to protect public health and safety • Includes new information on genetic methods • Techniques use to develop risk models for drinking water, groundwater, recreational water, food and pathogens in the indoor environment

This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legionnaires' disease, a pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacterium, is the leading cause of reported waterborne disease outbreaks in the United States. Legionella occur naturally in water from many different environmental sources, but grow rapidly in the warm, stagnant conditions that can be found in engineered water systems such as cooling towers, building plumbing, and hot tubs. Humans are primarily exposed to Legionella through inhalation of contaminated aerosols into the respiratory system. Legionnaires' disease can be fatal, with between 3 and 33 percent of Legionella infections leading to death, and studies show the incidence of Legionnaires' disease in the United States increased five-fold from 2000 to 2017. Management of Legionella in Water Systems reviews the state of science on Legionella contamination of water systems, specifically the ecology and diagnosis. This report explores the process of transmission via water systems, quantification, prevention and control, and policy and training issues that affect the incidence of Legionnaires' disease. It also analyzes existing knowledge gaps and recommends research priorities moving forward.
