Increasing numbers of multiresistant bacterial pathogens cause severe health problems on a global scale. Large quantities of bacteria and their resistance genes are discharged into natural environments via human and animal waste. Not much is known so far a ...
The continuous surveillance of drinking water is extremely important to provide early warning of contamination and to ensure continuous supplies of healthy drinking water. Isolation and detection of a particular type of pathogen present at low concentratio ...
A wide variety of whole cell bioreporter and biosensor assays for arsenic detection has been developed over the past decade. The assays permit flexible detection instrumentation while maintaining excellent method of detection limits in the environmentally ...
Investigations of occupational and environmental risk caused by the use of agrochemicals have received considerable interest over the last decades. And yet, in developing countries, the lack of staff and analytical equipment as well the costs of chemical a ...
Water quality issues are a major challenge that humanity is facing in the twenty-first century. Here, we review the main groups of aquatic contaminants, their effects on human health, and approaches to mitigate pollution of freshwater resources. Emphasis i ...
Lake Geneva is indeed affected by microplastic pollution Diverse particle types, including primary pebbles and secondary fragments Floating microplastics do sorb PCBs Fauna may be in contact with these microplastics Methodology needs improvement for beach ...
Pressure on freshwater resources is increasingly covered by methodological developments addressing freshwater use in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). These developments ultimately lead to the publication of the ISO 14046 standard to define the pri ...
Tools able to investigate pollution sources at low cost are urgently needed to achieve the requirements of the Water Frame Directive and international treaties (such as the Stockholm Convention) which are to reduce, or even cease, pollution emissions to wa ...
Gravity-driven, dead-end ultrafiltration of surface water, performed at ultra-low pressures without backflushing, cross-flow or chemical cleaning, results in flux stabilization during extended periods of time. This principle can be used for direct ultrafil ...
Monitoring and managing urban air pollution is a significant challenge for the sustainability of our environment. We quickly survey the air pollution modeling problem, introduce a new dataset of mobile air quality measurements in Zurich, and discuss the ch ...
