a

Process LRV was characterized as normal with a mean based either on pathogen or surrogate observations, or extrapolated using models or data from other hazards. NA indicates not applicable and ND indicates no data is available. Detection rate refers to process effluent.

b

References for FRNA bacteriophages listed under the “Mean based on observations”.

c

For Rotavirus, two surrogates were selected given that both had a large sample size.
