fraction is 3–15 times greater than the F1/F2 fractions, consistent with the observed increases in THg in water draining from banks after high flow events in the field. The results also suggest, however, that the bulk of the Hg (>90%) is tied up in largely immobile precipitated phases....
Water treatment did not lead to significant further removal of heterotrophic plate count bacteria, and bacterial regrowth during distribution was also minimal, based on the results of traditional water quality indicators. DAPI counts have shown a slightly different picture. The bacterial cell count was...
