| investigation of human sewage pollution and pathogen analysis at florida gulf coast beaches. | water quality at two florida beaches was compared using faecal indicator bacteria measurements, microbial source tracking (mst) methods for detecting human source pollution and the assessment of pathogen presence. these values were also compared before and after remediation of wastewater infrastructure at one beach. | 2010 | 21029275 |
| presence of pathogens and indicator microbes at a non-point source subtropical recreational marine beach. | swimming in ocean water, including ocean water at beaches not impacted by known point sources of pollution, is an increasing health concern. this study was an initial evaluation of the presence of indicator microbes and pathogens and the association among the indicator microbes, pathogens, and environmental conditions at a subtropical, recreational marine beach in south florida impacted by non-point sources of pollution. twelve water and eight sand samples were collected during four sampling eve ... | 2010 | 19966020 |
| confirmation of putative stormwater impact on water quality at a florida beach by microbial source tracking methods and structure of indicator organism populations. | the effect of a stormwater conveyance system on indicator bacteria levels at a florida beach was assessed using microbial source tracking methods, and by investigating indicator bacteria population structure in water and sediments. during a rain event, regulatory standards for both fecal coliforms and enterococcus spp. were exceeded, contrasting with significantly lower levels under dry conditions. indicator bacteria levels were high in sediments under all conditions. the involvement of human se ... | 2007 | 17544051 |
