Glennon, J. ESTIMATING MICROORGANISM DENSITIES IN AEROSOLS FROM SPRAY IRRIGATION OF WASTEWATER. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-82/003.

Description:

This document summarizes current knowledge about estimating the density of microorganisms in the air near wastewater management facilities, with emphasis on spray irrigation sites. One technique for modeling microorganism density in air is provided and an aerosol density estimating procedure is presented for evaluating wastewater spray irrigation systems. This procedure permits the user to develop estimates of the density of microorganisms in air with a minimum of on-site measurements.
