Disinfection for Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems
Course number
CH-02-219
PDH credits
3
Disinfection for Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems The infiltration of partially treated wastewater effluent into the soil, a common practice for many onsite and decentralized wastewater management systems, has the potential to degrade groundwater quality. Of primary concern is the transfer of pathogenic constituents from infected individuals via wastewater to groundwater. Decentralized treatment systems that include…
