摘要:"This new expanded edition of Microbiology for Water/Wastewater Operators augments previous information and emphasizes the new world order of water control based on microbiological principles and practices. Microbiology for Water/Wastewater Operators *Explains microbes that threaten health *Links microbes to operator activities and collection procedures *Covers giardia and cryptosporidia *Useful for understanding organisms in activated sludgeUser-friendly and understandable, Microbiology for Water/Wastewater Operators provides operators with need to know information about microbiology fundamentals and applications. This new resource is also a basic study tool by water/wastewater personnel preparing for their licensing examinations, or as a supplemental text in undergraduate or graduate courses in aquatic ecology, water/wastewater pollution control and in environmental science courses dealing with water biology. Microbiology for Water/Wastewater Operators is ... *What operators need to know about microbiology fundamentals and applications *User-friendly, understandable-assumes no special prior knowledge *A troubleshooting handbook for activated sludge system personnel *A study guide for water/wastewater licensing exams"--Provided by publisher.
