From Model Development to Mitigation: Machine Learning for Predicting and Minimizing Iodinated Trihalomethanes in Water Treatment.

Environmental science & technology
Disinfection processes in water treatment produce disinfection byproducts (DBPs), such as iodinated trihalomethanes (I-THMs), which pose significant health risks. Mitigating I-THMs remains challenging due to the complex interactions among water quali...

Quantitative prediction of disinfectant tolerance in Listeria monocytogenes using whole genome sequencing and machine learning.

Scientific reports
Listeria monocytogenes is a potentially severe disease-causing bacteria mainly transmitted through food. This pathogen is of great concern for public health and the food industry in particular. Many countries have implemented thorough regulations, an...

ListPred: A predictive ML tool for virulence potential and disinfectant tolerance in Listeria monocytogenes.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases
Despite current surveillance and sanitation strategies, foodborne pathogens continue to threaten the food industry and public health. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has reached an unprecedented resolution to analyse and compare pathogenic bacterial is...

Robotic versus manual disinfection of global priority pathogens at COVID-19-dedicated hospitals.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Twelve bacterial families identified as global priority pathogens (GPPs) pose the greatest threat to human health due to declining antibiotic efficacy. Robotics, a swift and contactless tool for disinfecting hospital surfaces, was sought ...

Predicting few disinfection byproducts in the water distribution systems using machine learning models.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Concerns regarding disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water persist, with measurements in water treatment plants (WTPs) being relatively easier than those in water distribution systems (WDSs) due to accessibility challenges, especially during...

Machine Learning and Imputation to Characterize Human Norovirus Genotype Susceptibility to Sodium Hypochlorite.

Food and environmental virology
Human norovirus (HuNoV) is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the developed world and a major contributor to gastroenteritis globally. Its low infectious dose and environmental persistence necessitate effective disinfection protocols. Sodium h...

Exploring the potential of machine learning to understand the occurrence and health risks of haloacetic acids in a drinking water distribution system.

The Science of the total environment
Determining the occurrence of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water distribution system (DWDS) remains challenging. Predicting DBPs using readily available water quality parameters can help to understand DBPs associated risks and capture t...

Artificial-intelligence-model to optimize biocide dosing in seawater-cooled industrial process applications considering environmental, technical, energetic, and economic aspects.

Biofouling
This research introduces an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based model designed to concurrently optimize energy supply management, biocide dosing, and maintenance scheduling for heat exchangers. This optimization considers energetic, technical, economi...

Chaotic neural network algorithm with competitive learning integrated with partial Least Square models for the prediction of the toxicity of fragrances in sanitizers and disinfectants.

The Science of the total environment
This study addresses the need for accurate structural data regarding the toxicity of fragrances in sanitizers and disinfectants. We compare the predictive and descriptive (model stability) potential of multiple linear regression (MLR) and partial lea...

Sensitivity Evaluation of Enveloped and Non-enveloped Viruses to Ethanol Using Machine Learning: A Systematic Review.

Food and environmental virology
Viral diseases are a severe public health issue worldwide. During the coronavirus pandemic, the use of alcohol-based sanitizers was recommended by WHO. Enveloped viruses are sensitive to ethanol, whereas non-enveloped viruses are considerably less se...
