Concentrations of ammonia and the chlorine stabilizer, cyanuric acid, which could be expected in swimming pools decreased the rate of kill by chlorine of the potential pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effect of cyanuric acid increased as the concentration of chlorine decreased, a fact of significance from a public health view. Quaternary ammonium algcides had little effect on the kill rate of chlorine, but an organic mercury algicide had a synergistic effect with chlorine when the chlorine…

To determine which bacteria could survive chlorination causing a potential health risk, the relative abundance of the intact cell community was characterized before and after chlorination and Moraxellaceae were suggested to be relatively more chlorine resistant than the other identified intact bacteria present.

It is obvious that contamination of air, eating utensils, swimming pool waters, and similar materials is not necessarily best measured by determining the presence of organisms derived from the intestinal, and the equally logical use of indicator organismsderived from the nose, mouth, and related structures has lagged behind.
