PUZZLED BY LEGIONELLA AND MONOCHLORAMINE?
Wednesday, September 13 @ Noon EDT
DESCRIPTION
Every liter of regulation-compliant tap water can contain millions of bacteria that originate from source waters and migrate through the drinking water treatment plant, the drinking water distribution system, building plumbing, and our taps. Most of these microorganisms mediate positive impacts such as removal of contaminants from drinking water sources, while others are opportunistic pathogens that have the potential to cause disease in people with compromised immune systems or other health conditions. This talk will highlight the impact of drinking water treatment strategies on the drinking water microbiome with a focus on nontuberculous mycobacteria.
