Microfiltration can be used to remove viruses.

Microfiltration can be used to remove viruses. Correct Answer False

Microfiltration cannot be used to remove viruses as a microfiltration filter has a pore size around 0.1 micron, so when water undergoes microfiltration, many microorganisms are removed, but viruses remain in the water. Ultra filtration would remove these larger particles, and may remove some viruses.
