Investigation of spa pools associated with lung disorders caused by Mycobacterium avium complex in immunocompetent adults.

abstract：:Biofouling of reverse-osmosis membranes was investigated at an advanced wastewater treatment facility. Cellulose diacetate membranes operated for approximately 4,000 h became uniformly coated with a mucilaginous fouling layer. The fouling material was approximately 93% water by weight, and nearly 90% of the dehydrated...
