Ultraviolet disinfection is limited in application chiefly because it

  • A.produces chlorinated organic by-products
  • B.raises the temperature of the treated water
  • C.removes the dissolved oxygen from the water
  • D.leaves no residual and needs clear water

Answer: D

Correct answer: leaves no residual and needs clear water

Ultraviolet inactivates organisms only while they are passing the lamp, so nothing protects the water afterwards and any recontamination downstream goes unchecked. It also requires the water to be clear, since turbidity shields organisms from the light. It is therefore best suited to point-of-use treatment or as a final step on already clarified water.
