"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

SECURE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS are vital for healthy water. In the US between 1920-1999, 11-18% of waterborne disease outbreaks were due to contamination of the distribution system, and between 1991-1996 were responsible for 22% of outbreaks. Similar data exists for other countries. http://lnkd.in/dbbE87Y View in LinkedIn

BIOFILM COMMUNITIES. "Bacteria living in a biofilm usually have significantly different properties from free-floating bacteria ... One benefit ... is increased resistance to detergents and antibiotics ... can be increased a thousandfold. Lateral gene transfer is greatly facilitated in biofilms and leads to a more stable biofilm structure." http://lnkd.in/d8fsHNK View in LinkedIn
