UV Inactivation of Bacteria and Viruses on Surfaces: Mechanistic Insights and Testing Method Comparisons

Abstract Accurate evaluation of UV surface disinfection requires understanding of the impacts of testing methods and microbial characteristics on observed inactivation performance. This study evaluated the surface inactivation kinetics of two bacteria and two bacteriophages using...

Beyond the Bulk: Fraction-Specific Total Organic Carbon Profiling for Proactive Water Quality Management

Abstract Total organic carbon (TOC) is widely used to monitor water quality, but its value as a single metric is increasingly limited in water management. Bulk TOC does not distinguish organic fractions with different reactivities and associated risks, limiting its ability to pre...
