This study demonstrates how coliform organisms might exist under hours of contact with one mg/l of chlorine or even greater concentrations. The investigation discovered a train of events whereby a Crustacea harboring coli forms, while passing through a spigot, becomes ruptured by the velocity of the water, and is almost immediately flushed into a sample bottle containing sodium thiosulphate. The chlorine is neutralized and the coliforms are distributed throughout the sample, resulting in illogical bacteriologic results.
The flouridation system now performing within San Francisco's water system is not the one that first went on‐stream a score of years ago. Here's a brief history of its evolvement.
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.
