Abstract

      Measurements of the rate of inactivation of faecal con­forms (FC) faecal streptococci (FS) and total coliforms (TC) was carried out by polyethylene bags put at the sea water surface in the Kaštela Bay. Inactivation of 90% took 1—5 hrs, that of FS 2.5—13.5 hrs and TC 1.2—6.5 hrs. T90 is the function of sunlight radiation intensity.
