Summary

Wastewater Microbiology focuses on microbial contaminants found in wastewater, methods of detection for these contaminants, and methods of cleansing water of microbial contamination. This classic reference has now been updated to focus more exclusively on issues particular to wastewater, with new information on fecal contamination and new molecular methods. The book features new methods to determine cell viability/activity in environmental samples; a new section on bacterial spores as indicators; new information covering disinfection byproducts, UV disinfection, and photoreactivation; and much more.

Author Biography

Larry W. Mays has been a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Arizona State University since August 1989. He served as Chair of the Department from August 1989 until July 1996. Prior to that he was Director of the Center for Research in Water Resources and holder of an Engineering Foundation Endowed Professorship at The University of Texas at Austin, where he was on the faculty since 1976. Prior to that, he was a graduate research assistant and then a Visiting Research Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he received the Ph.D. in January 1976. He received the B.S. (1970) and M.S.
