About this book
Wastewater Biology: The Microlife is a widely-used, essential reference for wastewater operators and engineers. This new edition explores the organisms that are considered the most important in the treatment of wastewater and disease transmission and provides you with the knowledge needed to regulate and control treatment processes properly. In addition to detailed information on bacteria, protozoa, rotifers, nematodes and other metazoan, filamentous organisms, pathogens, and parasites, it includes a discussion of the microscope and photomiscroscopy as well as other tools, equipment, and procedures that are necessary for examining, identifying and enumerating these life forms. Generously illustrated with a minimum of technical jargon, this is an easy-to-use guide to the biological aspects of wastewater treatment. Includes 13 color plates to assist in identifying the microlife.
