Remoción de parámetros fisicoquímicos y microbiológicos de plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales del Gran Área Metropolitana, Costa Rica
Remotion of physicochemical and microbiological parameters on wastewater treatment plants in Costa Rica’s Great Metropolitan Area
(2023-01-28)
Las aguas residuales inadecuadamente tratadas son un factor de riesgo para la salud pública dado que son un vehículo de diseminación de microorganismos patógenos como virus entéricos. Sin embargo, la circulación de patógenos ...
Enterococci as a key parameter for water quality index: Purires River, Costa Rica
(2018)
This study used the Canadian Water Quality Index (CWI) to characterize water sampled at three points within the Purires River micro basin, Costa Rica. The first sampling point is located in a high zone with domestic ...
A novel approach to biological risk surveillance in occupational hygiene: A case study on the use of quantitative microbial risk assessment to determine occupational risks for wastewater treatment plants workers in Costa Rica
(2023)
Wastewater treatment is essential for preventing infectious diseases and water pollution. To perform this process, workers operate and maintain wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs); thus, they are exposed to the many pathogens ...
Wastewater-based epidemiology of enteric viruses and surveillance of acute gastrointestinal illness outbreaks in a resource-limited region
(2021)
Acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality among all
ages. This study applied the principles ofwastewater-based epidemiology for the preventive identification of ...
