Today, they remain a promising filtration method for small systems with low turbidity or algae- containing source waters. Radionuclides Radionuclide contamination of drinking water is a significant, emerging issue. Until now, manmade radioactivity in drinking water has not been a major problem. Natural sources have been the primary cause of contamination. However, the potential for contamination exists throughout the country as releases from medical facilities or nuclear power plants may wind up in drinking water.
Ozone is an attractive alternative.
This technology has evolved and improved in recent years, thereby increasing its potential for successful application. This poster discusses small system treatment technologies in detail. It covers many of the technologies reviewed in the Tech Briefs, including membrane filtration, disinfection, and iron and manganese removal. The poster also includes tables, which discuss the technologies. You will need this information if you detect contaminants in your water.
