饮用水中隐孢子虫卵囊的去除 水是必不可少的，因为它们有可能 导致水传播疾病暴发。移除是一项挑战， 然而，由于它们在自然环境中的普遍存在 水和耐氯消毒。 饮用水中隐孢子虫的检测 成本高、速度慢，而且常常不可靠。这 研究使用不同颜色的聚苯乙烯微球 比较传统的 以及生物过滤器去除隐孢子虫 卵囊。而之前的研究主要集中在 在过滤器运行的稳态部分，这项工作看起来 在过滤器拆除期间和之后立即拆除时 成熟。包括34个参考文献、表格、图表。

Removal of Cryptosporidium oocysts from drinking water is essential because of their potential to cause waterborne disease outbreaks. Removal is challenging, however, because of their prevalence in natural waters and resistance to chlorine disinfection. Detection of Cryptosporidium in drinking water samples is expensive, slow, and frequently unreliable. This research used different-colored polystyrene microspheres to compare the performance of conventional and biological filters in removing Cryptosporidium oocysts. Whereas previous studies focused on the steady-state portion of the filter run, this work looked at removals during and immediately following filter ripening. Includes 34 references, tables, figures.
