This research deals with the influence of ozone, peracetic acid and potassium permanganate on the inactivation of indicator microorganisms E.coli, coliphage, Clostridium perfringens and Ascaris lumbricoides secondary effluents, aiming agricultural reuse. The effluents used for the analyses with ozone had been proceeding from the Lins-SP Wastewater Treatment Plant (the treatment consists of an anaerobic lagoon followed by a facultative one) and from the Araraquara-SP Wastewater Treatment Plant, where the treatment consists of an aerated lagoon followed by a sedimentation pond. For the disinfection analyses with peracetic acid and potassium permanganate only the effluent from the Araraquara-SP Wastewater Treatment Plant was used. The disinfection analyses demonstrated that the peracetic acid has greater bactericide power than ozone and potassium permanganate. Ozone was more efficient in the coliphage microorganism inactivation. For all used disinfectants the concentration of sporulated bacteria Clostridium perfringens remained between 103 and 104 NPM/100 mL. All the disinfectants, under the concentration and contact time tested, showed themselves toxic during the first 24 h, and did not show any mortality to the Daphnia similis microorganism after that period. The disinfectant that reached, under lower concentration and contact time, the proposed standard for unrestricted irrigation from WHO (1989) was the peracetic acid with 5 mg/L and contact time of 10 minutes.
