The influence of water quality upon the concentration of virus on location was assessed in field studies conducted in the Houston ship channel, Galveston Bay, and Houston waste treatment plants. 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.
在休斯顿航道、加尔维斯顿湾和休斯顿污水处理厂进行的实地研究中,评估了水质对特定位置病毒浓度的影响。对受污染的地表水进行净化时,病毒损失极小。然后,将净化后的污水和盐水中的病毒吸附并浓缩在纺织物和膜过滤器表面。接着,使用病毒浓缩设备在现有实地条件下直接测量大量受污染地表水中的病毒。
