What is it about?
This study relates to a method for evaluating the degradation efficiency of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs through a Fenton reaction. As a result of the Fenton reaction, an average of 91.2% Ascaris lumbricoides egg degradation was achieved. Thus, this process is an alternative for eliminating parasites that are resistant to conventional disinfection processes and significantly reduces the human health hazard they represent.

Why is it important?
This study showed that the Fenton process is an alternative for eliminating parasites that are resistant to conventional disinfection processes and significantly reduces the human health hazard they represent.
Perspectives
I hope this article provides the basis to explore the application of the Fenton process to problem waters contaminated with Ascaris eggs and broaden the field of research in this area.
