公用事业经理可以以本文为例说明 需氧孢子监测可用于证明潜在的 在他们自己的设施中清除隐孢子虫。这个 作者全面讨论了隐孢子虫的去除潜力 使用全面需氧孢子监测的处理过程。 其他实用程序可以使用类似的需氧孢子监测数据 评估他们的治疗过程是否有可能消除 隐孢子虫、贾第虫和其他公共卫生微生物 健康问题。 然而，尽管参与试验的原水浓度 公用事业比世界上大多数地方都要高 在美国，参与的公用事业公司本可以从中受益 对过滤后的水样使用较低的检测限。其他我们 原水孢子浓度较低的公用事业公司可能会 能够实现3.0-log或更高孢子去除率的设施 和隐孢子虫，但这些设施可能无法从数学上 除非他们开发出方法，否则要展示这种能力 以降低过滤水样的检测限。包括15个参考文献、表格和图表。

Utility managers can use this article as an example of how aerobic spore monitoring can be used to demonstrate potential for Cryptosporidium removal at their own facilities. The authors discuss the Cryptosporidium removal potential in full-scale treatment processes using full-scale aerobic spore monitoring. Other utilities can use similar aerobic spore monitoring data to evaluate the potential of their treatment processes to remove Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and other microorganisms of public health concern. However, although raw water concentrations at participating utilities were higher than would be found at most places in the United States, the participating utilities could have benefited by using lower detection limits for filtered water samples. Other US utilities with lower raw water spore concentrations may have facilities capable of achieving 3.0-log or greater removal of spores and Cryptosporidium, but these facilities may not be able to mathematically demonstrate this capability unless they develop methods to achieve lower detection limits in filtered water samples.
