HAUGLAND, R. A. A FASTER METHOD OF MEASURING RECREATIONAL WATER QUALITY. Presented at EPA Region 10 Bacteria Conference, Tacoma, WA, May 14 - 15, 2007.

Impact/Purpose:

The primary objective of this task is to identify, from a statistically significant pool of candidates, the fecal indicator microorganism(s) whose densities in recreational waters best correlate with the rates of illnesses monitored in the current health studies.

A second objective (pending the availability or development of suitable assays) will be to determine whether the rates of these illnesses are correlated with fecal pollution from humans or from various specific animal sources.
