| * reducing water temperatures for drinking water sanitization if appropriate. //Boiling// is the traditional method but this has more to do with knowing the water temperature without a thermometer. For comparison, milk is pasteurized at 161F for 15 seconds or 145F for 30 minutes.((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteurization#Process)) Enteric bacteria, spores, and viruses are killed at 160F -- see the table below.((https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/34/3/355/388050)) If using boiling as a reference, merely bringing the water to the boiling point is more than sufficient and holding the boil is "excessive".((https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/34/3/355/388050)) | * reducing water temperatures for drinking water sanitization if appropriate. //Boiling// is the traditional method but this has more to do with knowing the water temperature without a thermometer.
