Inactivation of Giardia lamblia cysts with ozone

G B Wickramanayake et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1984 Sep.

Abstract

Giardia lamblia cysts were inactivated in water with ozone at pH 7.0 and 5 and 25 degrees C. The concentration-time products for 99% inactivation were 0.53 and 0.17 mg-min/liter at 5 and 25 degrees C, respectively. These products were significantly lower than those reported for chlorine.
