BACKGROUND: The use of insufficiently treated wastewater or Faecal sludge in agriculture raises concerns because of the pathogen content. Helminth eggs (HE) are one of the most crucial pathogens for ensuring public health and safety. Widely used disi...
In water treatment processes (WTPs), artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques, particularly machine learning (ML) models have been increasingly applied in decision-making activities, process control and optimization, and cost management. At leas...
The traditional aviary decontamination process involves farmers applying pesticides to the aviary's ground. These agricultural defenses are easily dispersed in the air, making the farmers susceptible to chronic diseases related to recurrent exposure....
To optimize the ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection process, it is crucial to determine the ideal geometric dimensions of a corresponding model that enhance performance while minimizing the impact of uncertain photoreactor inputs. As water treatment ...
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...
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...
BACKGROUND: Among no-touch automated disinfection devices, ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation has been proven to be one of the most effective against a broad spectrum of micro-organisms causing healthcare-associated infections.
Restricted to the complex nature of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in various aquatic environments, the mechanisms of enhanced iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) formation in water containing both I and IO (designated as I/IO in this study) d...
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 ...

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...
