3.3.3 Virus ca.l be isolattd from raw water and from springs. :t:nterovirus, reovirus, and adenovi rus have beer; found in water, the first named being the most resistant to chlorination. If enterovirus are abser t from chlorinated water, it can be assumed that ,he water is safe to drink. Some uncertainty sti I remains about the virus of infectious hepatitis, since it has not so far been isolated but in view of the morphology and resistance of enterovirus it is likely that. if they have been inactivated he latitis virus will have been inactivated also. 3.3.4 An expc nential relationship exists between the rate of 'lirus inactivation and the redox potential. A n dox potential of 650 m V (measured between platic urn and calome! eIr.-ctrodrs) will cause almost instantaneous inaclivation of even high concentl atiOtis of virus. Such a potential can be obtain' 1 with even a low cencentration of
4

free chlorine, but only with an extremely high concentration of combined chlorine. This oxidative inactivation may be achieved with a number of other oxidants also, for example, iodine, ozone, and potassium permanganate, but the effect of the oxidants will always be counteracted if reducing components, which are mainly organic, are present. As a constquence, the sensitivity of virus towards desinfectants will depend on the milieu just as much as on the particular disinfectant used. 3.3.5 Thus, in a water in which free chlorine is present, active virus will generally be absent i-r coliform organisms are absent. In contrast, because the difference between the resistance of coliform organisms and of virus to disinfection by oxidants increases with increasing concentration of rcdu<:ing components, for example, organic matter, It cannot be assumed that the absence of viable coliform organisms implies freedom from active virus under circumstances where a free chlorine residual cannot be maintained. Sedimentation and slow sand filtration in themselves may contribute to the removal of virus from water. 3.3.6 In practice, 0'5 mg/l of free chlorine for one hour is sufficient to inactivate virus, even :n water that was originally poiluted.
