The Bio-Effect of Microwave Treatment on Coliform Bacteria in Tap Water in Badoush Region-Mosul
Abstract
This study investigated the use of microwave treatment to address E. coli contamination in tap water. It utilized an antenna frequency of 2.4GHz, an aperture distance of 40cm, and a relative power of 14.2dB. The Most Probable Number (MPN) method assessed the contamination levels. Samples were divided into two groups; one group received microwave treatment, while the other group served as a control without treatment. Some samples exhibited a percentage decrease, while others eliminated coliform bacteria, reducing contamination to zero. The rate decreased significantly after the treatment, with the probability value reaching (P< 0.01).
