摘要: Seven small-scale drinking water purification devices were evaluated for their capacity to eliminate botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) type B from water. Influent inoculated with toxic Clostridium cultures and effluent purified samples tested the presence of BoNT by using a standard mouse bioassay two commercial rapid enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). The based on filtration through ceramic or membrane filters pore size 0.2 0.4 m irradiation low-pressure UV-lamp (254 nm) failed remove raw (reduction 2.3 log10 units). EIAs intended detection various types detect aqueous containing an estimated concentration 396,000 ng/liter.
