    Abstract:
    Cell-culturable enterovirus and HAV levels in the effluent of a treatment plant were compared with those near the effluent outfall and in a neighbouring bathing area over a period of six months. Enteroviruses were found in all effluent samples, whereas only three contained HAV. No viruses were detected near the outfall nor in the bathing area. Despite the low impact of this scenario on human health, the view is expressed that the potential risk posed by the discharge of viruses from treatment plants must not be underestimated, since there is ample evidence that HAV can be epidemiologically transmitted via the consumption of shellfish.
