UV Disinfection sensitivity index of spores or protozoa: A model to predict the required fluence of spores or protozoa

, 2022
During UV disinfection, the required UV dose in terms of fluence depends upon the species of bacteria spore and protozoa. To rank their UV disinfection sensitivity, spore sensitivity index (SPSI) and protozoan sensitivity index (PSI) are defined.
