Detecting fecal contamination from intertidal disposal in remote areas
The use of Clostridium perfringens as a fecal indicator in Prince William Sound, Alaska
Human waste disposal in backcountry areas is understudied. This study measured Clostridium perfringens in beach sediments of Prince William Sound, Alaska to detect fecal contamination resulting from intertidal disposal. Analysis involved holding times that exceeded 8 hours. Experimentally contaminated sediments and sediments from urban and backcountry locations did not decay when stored for 49 to 101 days regardless of the storage and sampling treatment. Fecal contamination was not detected in sediments while campers practiced intertidal disposal. Additionally, C. perfringens concentrations at beach campsites did not correlate with human impa…
