RAPID PIPE COLONIZATION. "Once new pipes have been added to an existing system, microbial colonization begins rapidly, with microbial communities being established in as little as one year." http://lnkd.in/dAn_3i8 View in LinkedIn

HOSPITAL WATER TREATMENT MADE THINGS WORSE."Over the course of treatment the relative abundance of certain genera containing opportunistic pathogens and genera containing denitrifying bacteria increased. The results demonstrate the driving influence of supplemental disinfection on premise plumbing microbial ecology." http://lnkd.in/dAn_3i8 View in LinkedIn

"TAP WATER QUALITY may differ considerably from the quality in the water processing plant, due to the sometimes considerable distances that water travels to the consumer, crossing biofilm contaminated pipes and broken infrastructure." http://lnkd.in/d2E8pwH View in LinkedIn

HOSPITAL WATER PATHOGENS. "The majority of on-site disinfection systems to date have been installed in hospitals due to the high concentration of opportunistic pathogen susceptible occupants." http://lnkd.in/dAn_3i8 View in LinkedIn

COLIFORM BACTERIA IN WATER PIPES. "In 1993 in the United States alone, nearly 4,400 water systems affecting 21 million people violated drinking water standards for total coliform bacteria ... Of concern are the nearly 2,000 systems every quarter that are significant noncompliers and repeatedly detect coliform bacteria in finished drinking water." http://lnkd.in/dUVCRcq View in LinkedIn

PREVENTING DENTAL WATER LINE CONTAMINATION. "Although the water coming into dental waterlines is sanitized and meets public health safety standards ...(

BIOFILMS IN WATER PIPES: EPA REPORT. Leaks and breaks in aging water pipes are also sources of pathogen intrusion into drinking water supplies. This comprehensive report summarizes the water sourced medical threats and the problems of biofilm management in water systems. http://lnkd.in/dhdyE4d View in LinkedIn

DENTAL UNIT WATERLINES. "Researchers have know for many years that water delivered by dental units frequently contain high levels of bacteria. Despite the fact that contamination of dental treatment water often exceeds levels permissible in municipal water supplies or in recreational waters, there is no current evidence of widespread public health problems." http://www.osap.org/?page=Issues_DUWL_7 View in LinkedIn
