In a time of rising concern about climate change and pollution, the water quality of large
lakes acts as an indicator of the health of the environment. To study the water quality at a
large scale - up to several hundreds of kilometres - hyperspectral remot ...
Lake mesoscale processes have no secrets for artists, they have some for scientists and policy-makers. In the introduction to this dissertation, we saw that poets and painters depict the lake with rich variability. This vision conflicts with conventional a ...

Remote sensing helps foster our understanding of inland water processes allowing a synoptic view of water quality parameters. In the context of global monitoring of inland waters, we demonstrate the benefit of combining in-situ water analysis, hydrodynamic ...
Indirect exposure to waterborne viruses increases risk of infection, especially amongst children with frequent hand-to-mouth contacts. Here, we quantified the transfer of one bacteriophage (MS2) and two enteric viruses (adenovirus and coxsackievirus) from ...

Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death across the world. One of the primary causes of infectious diseases are viruses. Since liquids are highly important in the transmission of viruses, the aims of this work are to i) quantify the transfer of vir ...
Environmental risk assessment is an essential part of the approval process for pesticides. Exposure concentrations are compared with ecotoxicological data obtained from standardized laboratory studies and, if available, from field studies to determine the ...
Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) was recently found to be the most abundant RNA virus in human feces, and is a plant virus belonging to the genus Tobamovirus in the family Virgoviridae. When in human feces, it is of dietary origin from peppers and their pr ...
Understanding virus transfer between liquid and skin is necessary to estimate transmission during water-related activities. In the present study, we modeled virus transfer from liquid-to-skin and skin-to-liquid. Specifically, we performed human subject stu ...
Micropollutants enter surface waters through various pathways, of which wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a major source. The large diversity of micropollutants and their many modes of toxic action pose a challenge for assessing environmental risks. ...
This book is divided into six additional chapters: Chapter 2 deals with the agricultural source of micropollutants; Chapter 3 with the urban source of micropollutants; Chapter 4 with lake circulation; Chapter 5 with the influence of a wastewater treatment ...
