The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of water
pools, preferably fresh or salt water in basins of any size, waters in
conduits for civil and industrial use, and ballast waters in the maritime
practice. Aim of the invention is to remove biological contamination by
plant and animal organisms. Particularly, this method exploits
thebiocidal properties of some of the menadione derivatives.
The present method is particularly useful for eliminating both macro- and
micro aquatic infesting freshwater and marine organisms, particularly
non-indigenous species, such as plants and algae, phytoplankton and
zooplankton organisms, particularly adults, larval stages, resting stages
andpropagules and gram positive and negative bacteria.
