Evaluación de un método de desinfección de agua por láser infrarrojo usando Escherichia coli como bioindicador

Water is a vital source for human life and its consumption is not only important but necessary, but at the same time it is an excellent medium for the development and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, especially Escherichia coli, better known as E. Coli, which causes gastrointestinal diseases that occur mainly in children under 5 years of age due to the intake of contaminated water, which requires drinking water and can be consumed without any risk to the health of people. The disinfection of the water can be done by means of physical or chemical processes that allow the elimination of polluting agents. The most commonly used methods are chemicals such as chlorination and ozonation, and physical methods such as ultraviolet radiation on a smaller scale. Procedures through the use of chemical elements, while meeting the objective, often have side effects on people, that is why it is sought to use processes that at the same time disinfect water, do not present Side effects and that is why it is tested with the use of infrared light that is not known adverse effects in humans, but also does not know much about the inhibitory effects of pathogens in water. The development of this work will allow a first chapter to approach the generalities of the water, the existing methods and processes of disinfection to which it is subjected; The knowledge of E.coli bacteria, as well as the generalities of laser light and its applications.
