| sewage impact on shellfish microbial contamination. | coastal areas are frequently contaminated by microorganisms of human origin, due to high population density and low seawater renewal. to evaluate the impact of wastewater input on shellfish quality, a study was conducted in brittany (france) over a period of 20 months. a hydrodynamic model was used to simulate wastewater impact on microbial water quality. to validate the model, wastewater from the three main sewage treatment plants and shellfish from three sites were sampled monthly. bacterial i ... | 2004 | 15318496 |
