Abstract
THE INFLUENCE OF WATER QUALITY UPON THE CONCENTRATION OF VIRUS ON LOCATION WAS ASSESSED IN FIELD STUDIES CONDUCTED IN THE HOUSTON SHIP CHANNEL, GALVESTON BAY, AND HOUSTON WASTE TREATMENT PLANTS IN TEXAS. CLARIFICATION OF POLLUTED SURFACE WATERS WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH MINIMAL LOSS OF VIRUS. VIRUS FROM CLARIFIED SEWAGE EFFLUENTS AND SALINE WATERS WAS THEN ADSORBED AND CONCENTRATED ON TEXTILE AND MEMBRANE FILTER SURFACES. DIRECT MEASUREMENTS OF VIRUS FROM LARGE VOLUMES OF POLLUTED SURFACE WATERS UNDER EXISTING FIELD CONDITIONS WERE THEN MADE USING THE VIRUS CONCENTRATOR EQUIPMENT.--COPYRIGHT 1974, BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS, INC
