Microbial Source Tracking: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies

The book "Microbial Source Tracking: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies" offers a comprehensive analysis of methods for tracking microbial sources, which are crucial for assessing health risks associated with fecal contamination of water. Over the past decade, the field of microbial source tracking (MST) has rapidly evolved, leading to a variety of studies, workshops, and publications. This collection of expertise is led by three experienced editors who highlight the diversity of MST methods and their international relevance. The book covers both traditional and newer approaches, including quantitative PCR techniques and the consideration of anthropogenic chemicals. It serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers dealing with water quality and related health risks.
