The effect of ozone on Legionella pneumophila and other bacterial
populations in cooling towers.
Pope, D. H., Eichler, L. W., Coates, T.F., Kramer, J. F.,
Soracco, R. J. (1984). Current Microbiology, 10(2), 89-94.
Summary
Ozone was found to reduce the numbers of bacteria detectable by
plate counts and the numbers of presumptive Legionella pneumophila (DFA-reactive
cells), including those that were INT positive, in test cooling
towers. The numbers of DFA-reactiveL. pneumophila eventually reached
those of the makeup water (Troy, NY, city water). Microbial slime on
the interior tower surfaces and Pseudomonas populations in the tower
waters were also reduced. Water chemistry parameters measured showed
no tendency toward a condition that would cause accelerated
deterioration of tower material.
