| Description | Microbial source tracking (MST) is a set of techniques used to determine the sources of fecal indicator bacteria in the environment. MST techniques attempt to determine whether fecal bacteria are being introduced into waterbodies through human, wildlife, or domestic animal sources. The focus sheet provides an overview of MST and the issues associated with current MST techniques. A description of Ecology’s current position on using MST is provided as well as guidance on using conventional source tracking tools and preferred methods for tracking contamination from fecal sources. | ||||
