Fecal indicator bacteria declines via a dilution of wastewater in seawater Original Research Article

We present the kinetics of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) after dilution of wastewater in seawater under laboratory conditions (at 208C). We studied the decay rates of FIB, which were found in raw sewage and in the effluent of secondary treatment. After dilution in seawater there was a rapid destruction of the microorganisms at a rate faster than that has undergone through a secondary treatment.
