Impact/Purpose:
UV light emitting diodes (LEDs) is an emerging water treatment technology and has been shown to effectively inactivate pathogens. EPA is working in collaboration with manufacturers and expert consultants in this field to evaluate efficiency of these technologies for Legionella pneumophila inactivation in drinking water systems.
Description:
This presentation will discuss results from Legionella pneumophila inactivation experiments using UV light emitting diodes (LEDs) as an emerging water treatment technology to control risks from various water-based pathogens.
