A study was conducted which focused on movement of naturally occurring human enteroviruses from a subsurface wastewater disposal system through a shallow aquifer. The potential for significant entrainment of virus particles was evidenced by their recovery at down-gradient distances of 67.05 m and from aquifer depths of 18 m. A significant negative correlation was observed between virus occurrence and the distance from the "septage" (leaching pool) source. Virus occurrence could not be statistically correlated with either total or fecal coliforms, indicating the limitations of current microbial water quality indicators for predicting the virological quality of groundwater.
一项研究专注于自然发生的人类肠病毒从地下污水处置系统通过浅层含水层的迁移。病毒颗粒的显著夹带的可能性通过在 67.05 米的下游距离和 18 米的含水层深度处的回收得到证明。病毒的出现与离“septage”(渗滤池)源的距离之间存在显著的负相关关系。病毒的出现不能与总大肠菌群或粪大肠菌群在统计学上相关,这表明当前微生物水质指标预测地下水病毒质量的局限性。
