The characters state that the Andromeda Strain can only live within a narrow pH band: it affected those with a normal blood pH level, but not the old man and the baby who had abnormal blood pH levels. They go on to state that the virus from Piedmont will end up in the ocean where it will be destroyed by the ocean's pH level. This is plausible: healthy human blood maintains a pH of 7.35-7.45, completely outside the ocean's 7.5-8.4 range.
