#UV for #disinfection of #water and #wastewater damages the DNA of #pathogens and renders them incapable of reproducing and unable to infect? Are you also aware that UV damaged DNA can be repaired through a process called "photoreactivation" or as this article calls it "photorepair". The main objective of this article was to construct a quantitative microbial risk assessment (#QMRA) of photorepair after UV disinfection of drinking water in a decentralized system. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0043135423000477
