Of Current Interest...10/01/2009 – At the joint Lake Michigan State of the Lake and Great Lakes Beach Association conference in Milwaukee, Wis., on September 29, Rebecca Bushon presented information on the use of two rapid analytical methods for assessing recreational water quality—immunomagnetic separation/adenosine triphosphate (IMS/ATP) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). 7/21/2009 – The USGS Ohio Water Microbiology Laboratory is participating in the Chicago Health, Environmental Exposure, and Recreation Study (CHEERS) during the 2009 recreation season. The IMS/ATP rapid detection method for E. coli is being tested in secondary-contact waters, in collaboration with University of Illinois-Chicago, School of Public Health. Additional data being collected include concentrations of fecal-indicator organisms by culture methods and qPCR, pathogen detection and quantification, and human health epidemiology information. |
