Citation:
Oshima, K. Recent advances in the development of tools for assessing microbial water quality in recreational waters. Oklahoma State University, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Seminar Series, Stillwater, OK, November 01, 2019.
Impact/Purpose:
Presentation provides a overview of ORD's recent activities in developing tools for monitoring recreational water quality. The focus of the presentation is on the science behind the development and implementation of molecular methods to assess microbial water quality. The presentation will cover ORD's research from method development, performance assessment, linkage to health risk assessment and policy/regulatory impacts. This presentation is part of a seminar series in the Deptartment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for general interest to the faculty, staff and students.
Description:
Presentation provides a overview of ORD's recent activities in developing tools for monitoring recreational water quality. The focus of the presentation is on the science behind the development and implementation of molecular methods to assess microbial water quality. The presentation will cover ORD's research from method development, performance assessment, linkage to health risk assessment and policy/regulatory impacts. The science behind the development of tools for rapid detection of general fecal indicators, microbial source tracking and coliphage will be discussed.
