本文简要介绍了英国伦敦饮用水检查局在隐孢子虫检测和治疗方面的作用。检查员负责评估隐孢子虫水处理方案的可接受性。国家法规规定，英格兰和威尔士的大部分地表水接受消毒，再加上两级化学处理或慢速砂滤。然而，如果在原水中检测到卵囊，检查员将不支持额外的处理，除非现有的常规处理不充分。如果检查部门拒绝支持额外处理的提议，如果有更有力的证据，公司可以自由要求重新考虑他们的案件。

This brief paper describes the role of the Drinking Water Inspectorate of London, England, United Kingdom in relation to detection and treatment of Cryptosporidium. The Inspectorate is charged to assess the acceptability of proposals to treat water for Cryptosporidium. National regulations dictate that most surface waters in England and Wales receive disinfection plus either two stage chemical treatment or slow sand filtration. However, the Inspectorate will not support additional treatment when oocysts are detected in raw water unless the existing conventional treatment is inadequate. Where the Inspectorate has declined to support proposals for additional treatment, the company is free to ask for reconsideration of their case if more compelling evidence becomes available.
