  1. Measuring Endocrine Disruptors In Wastewater 4/12/2022

    Treating pollutants, such as endocrine disruptors, is an effective way to protect the environment. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that alter the hormonal systems and the development of organisms that are exposed to them, even in small quantities.

  2. As Testing Declines, Wastewater Increasingly Critical To COVID-19 Battle 3/31/2022

    Wastewater analysis is in the national spotlight like never before, as individual states and researchers have found the data it can provide to be invaluable in the ongoing fight against COVID-19. And as individual testing for the disease declines, wastewater may come to play an even bigger role in how the nation learns to live with coronavirus.

  3. Residual Water From The Food Industry Gives Seaweed Cultivation A Boost 3/29/2022

    Process water from the food industry is an excellent fertilizer in land-based seaweed cultivation. Not only does the seaweed grow faster; its protein content also multiplies. In this way, process water can go from being a cost to becoming a resource in the food industry.

  4. Low-Cost Sensing Assists Climate Adaptation, Says IDTechEx 3/24/2022

    ‘What gets measured gets managed’ is a well-known adage in business, but could it also be applied to mitigating the effects of climate change? The recently published IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report emphasizes the importance of adaptation alongside emission reduction.

  5. Faster-Acting Graphene Sensor Detects Opioid Metabolites In Wastewater 3/24/2022

    A sensor that detects opioid byproducts in wastewater faster and cheaper than current commonly used methods has been developed by U.S. National Science Foundation grantee researchers.

  6. Agencies Collaborate To Launch Wastewater Surveillance Dashboard 3/23/2022

    The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), Southern Nevada Health District, Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) and Desert Research Institute (DRI) are partnering to detect early increases of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) and emerging variants in Southern Nevada through wastewater surveillance.

  7. Tarleton Researchers Work To Remove Microplastics From Wastewater 3/22/2022

    Tarleton State University researchers led by Dr. Rajani Srinivasan have demonstrated that combinations of food-grade plant extracts, including those from okra, aloe, cactus and psyllium, have the power to remove microplastics from wastewater.

  8. Ambitious Federal Wastewater Sampling Plan Hits Privacy, Logistical Issues In Curbing COVID-19 3/22/2022

    The Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) and individual states have relied increasingly on wastewater sampling data to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 throughout the country.

  9. Recent Research Analyzes The Chemical Composition Of Fracking Wastewater 3/16/2022

    The composition of fracking wastewater and the ramifications of recycling or reusing wastewater produced by the fracking process have not been closely scrutinized.

  10. Collo Measures The Quality Of Liquid Processes In Real-Time 3/3/2022

    Collo’s technology is based on RF signals that can penetrate any liquid, machine learning, and sophisticated edge computing analysis. It is a simple-to-use solution that adapts to any liquid process automatically and results in an eight-dimensional multiparameter, real-time analysis that makes it possible to adjust the process immediately when there is a quality issue.
