{"product_id":"indicators-for-waterborne-pathogens-national-research-council-9780309091220","title":"Indicators for Waterborne Pathogens","description":"Recent and forecasted advances in microbiology, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry have made it timely to reassess the current paradigm of relying predominantly or exclusively on traditional bacterial indicators for all types of waterborne pathogens. Nonetheless, indicator approaches will still be required for the foreseeable future because it is not practical or feasible to monitor for the complete spectrum of microorganisms that may occur in water, and many known pathogens are difficult to detect directly and reliably in water samples. \u003cp\u003e This comprehensive report recommends the development and use of a \"tool box\" approach by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and others for assessing microbial water quality in which available indicator organisms (and\/or pathogens in some cases) and detection method(s) are matched to the requirements of a particular application. The report further recommends the use of a phased, three-level monitoring framework to support the selection of indicators and indicator approaches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Water Science and Technology Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309091225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309091220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082452967679,"sku":"9780309091220","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indicators-for-waterborne-pathogens-national-research-council-9780309091220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
