BACKGROUND: Solar water disinfection (SODIS) is a point-of-use water treatment that consists of exposing microbiologically-contaminated water in plastic bottles to sunlight. Replacing bottles with bags can accelerate the SODIS process, reduce the costs of transport and distribution, improve usability and facilitate its promotion, especially in emergencies. This work evaluated the solar disinfection capacity and resistance to deterioration of different polymer bags.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
