What’s in Wastewater?
![Page 8: Duke Price, REHS Program Manager Va. Dept. of Health Office of Environmental Health Services](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/568143d7550346895db06447/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What’s in Wastewater?
1. Water (99 Percent)
2. Organics & Nutrients
3. Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG)
4. Inorganics and other solids
(Hair, cloth)
5. Virus and Bacteria
6. Heavy Metals
7. Ammonium, Phosphates
![Page 9: Duke Price, REHS Program Manager Va. Dept. of Health Office of Environmental Health Services](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/568143d7550346895db06447/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why do we care?
1. Over 100 enteric viruses excreted in the feces of man.
2. Filtration by the soil is minimal because of their small size (< 250 nm).
3. Can initiate significant waterborne disease.

Groundwater may be affected by…….
1. Waterborne outbreaks from Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, and others.
2. Typical concentration of 4.2 x 107 organisms in STE
3. Adsorption and filtration reduce survival rates (well- drained fine medium textured soils helps greatly).
4. Movement in coarse textures or high water tables may be significant.
