Abstract

The paper provides the data of municipal wastewater pollution rate before and after treatment in Rostov-on-Don, Azov and Tsimlyansk, Russia. The aim of this paper is to assess the efficiency of inactivation and elimination pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria after treatment and disinfection. It was carried out 2640 sanitary-bacteriological tests of domestic wastewater at different treatment stages. Glucose-positive coliform bacteria (GCB), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella spp. were also identified as an additional indicator. The presence of Salmonella spp. and common coliform bacteria (CCB) was detected during the wastewater treatment. Pathogenic Salmonella spp. was not detected in treated wastewater samples in Rostov-on-Don and Azov. It is claimed that wastewater quality after treatment on properly functioning wastewater treatment facilities is met the country standards according to bacterial indicators (CCB, Salmonella spp.). The rate of contamination with pathogenic (Salmonella), sanitary-indicative (CCB) bacteria of the cities under the study (Rostov-on-Don, Azov, Tsimlyansk) is approximately the same and falls within the limits in accordance with Russian Standard No. 2.1.5.800–99.
