CLARIFICATION OF POLLUTED SURFACE WATERS WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH MINIMAL LOSS OF VIRUS. VIRUS FROM CLARIFIED SEWAGE EFFLUENTS AND SALINE WATERS WAS THEN ADSORBED AND CONCENTRATED ON TEXTILE AND MEMBRANE FILTER SURFACES. DIRECT MEASUREMENTS OF VIRUS FROM LARGE VOLUMES OF POLLUTED SURFACE WATERS UNDER EXISTING FIELD CONDITIONS WERE THEN MADE USING THE VIRUS CONCENTRATOR EQUIPMENT.--COPYRIGHT 1974, BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS, INC*ENTERIC BACTERIA*GALVESTON BAY*ISOLATION*Texas*VIRUSESeffluentsENTEROVIRUSESGalveston BayHoustonHouston areaHouston Ship ChannelPICORNAVIRUSESPOLLUTANT I WASTE WATER TREATMENTSurface waterSW 3010 Identification of pollutantsSW 3040 Wastewater treatment processesTEXTexasWATERWater qualityJournal
