Recovery and decontamination data from bench- and operational-scale testing designed to evaluate virucidal chemical efficacy. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wyrzykowska-Ceradini, B., W. Calfee, A. Touati, J. Wood, L. Mickelsen, L. Miller, M. Colby, C. Slone, N. Griffin-Gatchalian, S. Gayatri Pongur, and D. Aslett. The Use of Bacteriophage MS2 for Development and Application of a Virucide Decontamination Test Method for Porous and Heavily Soiled Surfaces.

This dataset contains results for treated wastewater samples collected at food processing facilities across the United States to characterize the potential contaminant profile of this type of wastewater. The associated report (Hubbard and others, 2021) can be found at https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.XXXXXXX. Samples were analyzed by USGS laboratories using 10 target organic (576 unique analytes), 13 inorganic (32 unique analytes), and 18 microbial (15 bacterial groups) methods. Concentration results and site descriptions are presented within.

Lab-scale testing was used to generate efficacy data, for three non-spore-forming biologicals (VEE, YP, BP), in three different soil types, and three different decontaminants. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Richter, W., M. Sunderman, M.L. Fulton, Z. Willenberg, S. Serre, L. Oudejans, J. Wood, and M. Calfee. Decontamination Efficacy of Common Liquid Disinfectants Against Non-Spore-Forming Biological Agents in Soil Matrices. JOURNAL OF APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY. Blackwell Publishing, Malden, MA, USA, 133(6): 3659-3668, (2022).

This dataset consists of trace organic contaminant concentrations and bacteria counts in wastewater effluents, and observed responses in fish exposed to effluents. The study was conducted from April to September 2022 at a facility located in Hutchinson, Minnesota. Nine pairs of primary-treated, activated sludge secondary treated, and membrane bioreactor secondary treated wastewater were characterized for select trace organic contaminants (pharmaceuticals, pesticides and pesticide degradates, hormones, alkylphenols, and bisphenols) and bacterial (total coliform, Escherichia coli) counts. Two 21-day exposures were conducted on-site in which fathead minnows were exposed to activated sludge secondary treated effluent and membrane bioreactor secondary treated effluent. Effluent samples were collected once per month in April, August, and September, and once weekly during the on-site exposures.
