Author(s) : YAMAYOSHI T.
Summary
DESCRIBES AN EVALUATION OF THE USEFULNESS OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION TO PREVENT THE GROWTH OF LEGIONELLA BACTERIA. THIS METHOD DOES NOT GIVE RISE TO DRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIA, HAS NO HARMFUL CHEMICAL BY-PRODUCTS AND INVOLVES A SIMPLE OPERATION. ILLUSTRATES AND EXPLAINS THE APPARATUS USED. PRESENTS AND DISCUSSES THE RESULTS. DERIVES A FORMULA FOR THE GERMICIDAL EFFICIENCY OF THE METHOD. CONCLUDES THAT UV RADIATION SHOULD BE USEFUL FOR THE PRACTICAL DISINFECTION OF WATER INFECTED WITH LEGIONELLA BACTERIA.
