DISCUSSION OF: “Evaluation of USEPA Method 1622 for detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in stream waters”
This discussion concerning USEPA Method 1622 for Cryptosporidium detection in stream waters points out the fact that the performance assessment resulting from the use of the outdated version of the method in the article by Simmons in the January 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Water Works Association does not reflect the performance of the interlaboratory validated version of the method. The authors of the Simmons article report lower recoveries in source water than those achieved by the seven laboratories that generated data in the US Environmental Protection Agency's Information Collection Rule Supplemental Surveys (ICRSS) and AWWARF studies and suggest that the method is inherently compromised by excessive turbidity. Contrary to the very limited data in the Simmons article, the data from the much larger ICRSS data set demonstrate that there is no relationship between method recovery and turbidity.
