The Influence of Nitrifying Bacteria on Monochloramine Decay and Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogen Growth
Drinking water infrastructure in homes and buildings provides a niche for water microbiomes. Higher surface area to volume ratios, stagnation, and disinfectant decay at point-of-use locations lead to microbial regrowth and a higher risk of exposure to opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPPs). Nitrifying bacteria are common inhabitants of drinking water systems and are known to […]
