Minimizing the Risk of Disease Transmission in Emergency Settings: Novel In Situ Physico-Chemical Disinfection of Pathogen-Laden Hospital Wastewaters.

However, it is important to note that, although pathogens would have been concentrated in the sludge during the treatment process, the evidence suggests that the extreme pH levels to which they were subjected (for an extended period of time) would have resulted in a highly significant reduction in the concentration of viable organisms and that controlled soil infiltration, according to the protocols used elsewhere for untreated CTC wastewaters, constitutes a rational management of the risk of onward human infection.
