Modeling Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst inactivation and bromate formation in a full-scale ozone contactor.

The inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and the formation of bromate were assessed simultaneously by performing experiments with a full-scale ozone bubble-diffuser contactor used for drinking water disinfection. Fluorescence-dyed polystyrene microspheres were used as surrogates for C. parvum oocysts.
