Contaminant Candidate List 3 (CCL 3)Â
Emerging Contaminants - EPA Contaminant Candidate List 3 (CCL 3)
The USEPA has listed several viruses on the Contaminant Candidate List 3 (link). SMI is researching analytical techniques for detecting several members on the current list and SMI scientists have facilitated workshops convened by the USEPA and the American Water Works Association to determine national research priorities for the microorganisms currently listed. SMI currently employs an array of biotechnologies aimed at developing improved virus detection techniques, and innovative concentration procedures relying upon positively charged filters (ViroCap™).
