Index of Pollution of Surface Waters
as opposed to the staining of non-cultivatable organisms of these two genera. Cotton gauze and rayon-polypropylene fiber swabs were equally sensitive for collecting salmonellae from the streams examined. Tetrathionate enrichment incubated at 41.5 C appeared to be superior to selenite-cystine for isolation of salmonellae from surface waters. Twenty-eight serotypes of Salmonella and two serotypes...
متن کاملBacterial Pollution of Waters in Pristine and Agricultural Lands
Concentrations of thermotolerant coliform bacteria, presumptive E. coll, and presumptive fecal streptococci were determined from ditches, brooks, and natural ponds in six agricultural areas and 22 uninhabited pristine areas in southern Finland in the summer of 1987. For comparison, the same fecal indicators were enumerated from the effluents of three wastewater t eatment plants. The objective w...
متن کاملBacterial Pollution in River Waters and Gastrointestinal Diseases
Currently, one of Mexico's most severe environmental problems is the high levels of pollution of many of its rivers. The present article focuses on the relationship between total coliform bacteria levels and the increase of human digestive tract diseases in the highly polluted Atoyac River in the central Mexican states of Puebla and Tlaxcala. Pollution has become a potential health hazard for p...
متن کاملBacterial pollution indicators in the intestinal tract of freshwater fish.
A study was made of the occurrence, distribution, and persistence of coliforms, fecal coliforms, and fecal streptococci in the intestinal tract of freshwater fish. A total of 132 fish representing 14 different species were used in various phases of these experiments. Examination of the intestinal contents of 78 fish from moderately polluted sections of the Little Miami River indicated that feca...
متن کاملNonpoint Pollution of Surface Waters with Phosphorus and Nitrogen
Agriculture and urban activities are major sources of phosphorus and nitrogen to aquatic ecosystems. Atmospheric deposition further contributes as a source of N. These nonpoint inputs of nutrients are difficult to measure and regulate because they derive from activities dispersed over wide areas of land and are variable in time due to effects of weather. In aquatic ecosystems, these nutrients c...
