| Abstract |
Because naturally occurring organic matter is thought to interfere with virus adsorption to microporous filters, humic and fulvic acids isolated from a highly colored, soft surface water were used as model organics in studies on poliovirus adsorption to and recovery from electropositive Virosorb 1MDS and electronegative Filterite filters. Organic acids caused appreciable reductions in virus adsorption and recovery efficiencies with both types of filters. The mechanisms by which each organic acid reduced virus adsorption and recovery appeared to be different for each type of filter. |
