Abstract: Laboratory experiments were performed to demonstrate an experimental method for measuring the UV dose-response behavior among air-exposed microorganisms, and to quantify the effect of relative humidity on this behavior. ...

Abstract: Wastewater and drinking water disinfection are typically achieved via chlorination, ozonation, or UV irradiation. However, there has been increased interest in recent years in alternative disinfectants. This interest came ...

Abstract: spores were used as an indicator organism to characterize the effects of UV radiation and iodine, alone and in combination, as disinfectants for water. Spore exposures to UV radiation were conducted in shallow, well-mixed ...

Abstract: spores represent an important bioterrorism agent that can be dispersed in air or water. Existing decontamination practices based on these spores have focused on chemical disinfectants; however, the basic characteristics ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations have been performed to gain a better understanding of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection process performance. Similar simulations in previous studies revealed critical paths through which particles moved ...

Abstract: Lagrangian actinometry represents a new method of photochemical reactor characterization. The method is based on an application of dyed microspheres, which were developed by attachment of
