Cryptosporidium is an infectious parasite that survives in chlorinated water meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water quality standards. Chlorine, although used extensively for water treatment, cannot kill some microorganisms, including Cryposporidium and Giardia. Cryptosporidium is a protozoan and an intracellular parasite that infects a variety of animals including humans. It is a round cyst 4 to 6 microns in diameter that was first recognized as a cause of human illness in 1976. Infection can occur from drinking contaminated water, eating contaminated food, exposure to fecal contaminated surfaces and from person to person exposure via the fecal-oral route when hands are not properly washed. Person to person infection is well documented in places like day-care centers and hospitals. There are also many routes for waterborne transmission. All surface water may harbor Cryptosporidium contamination. Cysts have been found in lakes, rivers, ground water is also possible; in one survey, as many as 20 percent of test wells contained the cyst. Symptoms of cryptosporidiosis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and low-grade fever. The illness typically lasts 10 to 14 days, but can last up to 30. There is no cure and recovery depends on the patient's immune system. Certain treatments reduce the severity of some of the symptoms, but the disease can be fatal for people with certain health conditions. In severe cases it develops into a prolonged, life-threatening, cholera-like illness. People with weak immune systems are most vulnerable. Cryptosporidium oocysts resist chlorinating and the use of chlorine dioxide. Cysts viability wasn't affected by exposure to even 30,000 parts per million (ppm) chlorine as sodium hypochlorite for up to 18 hours. It takes sodium hypo chlorite at higher than 700,000 ppm concentrations to eliminate the cyst. These doses cannot be used in practical applications. Effective treatment methods include ozone, ultra-violet and physical filtering by a fine enough, uniform and bypass-resistant filtering device. There is some evidence that the cyst can range down in size to 2.5 microns. This and the flexibility of the cyst when it is subjected to filtering forces, indicate the need to select a quality filter.
