Question

How does chlorination affect the concentrations of pathogens in drinking water, reported in log-decrese?

Answer

Pathogen Log-dercease
Campylobacter 8.837981871
E.coli O157:H7 7.182699561
Rotavirus 11.97117474
Norovirus 13.55252482
Cryptosporidium 0
Giardia 0.095329311

Rationale

Chloriantion efficiency, or chlorine's capacity to destroy microbes, depends on many factors: the form of the chlorine, temperature, retention period, pH and concentration as well as other chemicals in the water. In some circumstances it might efficiently kill all indicator organisms, but some active viruses, protists or their cysts may remain in the water. The meter to measure the efficiency of chlorination is kloorikokema ⇤--arg5411: . Someone else has to translate this --Heta (talk) 14:31, 4 July 2019 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack), which is the concentration multiplied by retention period, so called CT-value. The required CT-value depends on the temperature: the lower the temperature, the higher the CT-value has to be.

Data

Pathogen sensitivity to chlorine:

The rows tell which pathogen the ct-values on that row are for.

The columns tell the ct-value required to decrease the amount of each pathogen in the drinking water to a certain level on the log-scale. Column 1 means pathogen concentration will drop to 10-1 of the original, column 2 means the concentration will drop to 10-2 and so on.
