Deanship of Academic Research. Funding Agency:

Dr. Nivin Al-Alami Principal Investigator (PI):

2 years Duration:

2017 Starting Date:

Objectives:

To study the bactericidal and fungicidal activity of neutral electrolyzed water (NEW) in comparison to the use of quaternary ammonium, hydrogen peroxide and chlorine-based solutions in the disinfection of modeled RO water treatment membranes of hemodialysis and dental units. Additionally, the efficacy of the used disinfectants will be investigated against selected waterborne pathogenic strains which will be

directly inoculated into modeled RO water treatment systems used in dialysis and dental units.• Faculty of Science, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Faculty of Agriculture/ Partners:
