Explainable machine-learning-based predictions of blood lead levels and school drinking water contamination among children: a case study in Washington DC.

Scientific reports
Water quality degradation poses significant risks to human health, ecosystem, and community. Many cities continue to rely on outdated pipes and water distribution networks that are highly susceptible to leaks, corrosion, and lead contamination. The p...

Floc image-driven deep learning enhanced by temporal windows and transformers for carbon emission reduction in drinking water treatment plants.

Water research
Using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms for precise coagulant dosing in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) helps ensure drinking water safety and supports greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. The effectiveness of these ...

Methods and Uncertainty in Predictions of Arsenic Exposure and Health Outcomes for Private Well Users in Massachusetts.

Environmental science & technology
In the United States, most people get their drinking water from public water systems, whose quality is regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act; however, an estimated 40 million people rely on unregulated private wells. In Massachusetts ∼500,000 peop...

Surface water quality evaluation impacting drinking water sources and sanitation using water quality index, multivariate techniques, and interpretable machine learning models in Mahanadi River, Odisha (India).

Environmental geochemistry and health
Water quality and quantity affect crop productivity, with surface water quality having a significant impact. The amount of surface water being used for drinking is gradually rising. Thus, assessing surface water quality and related hydro-chemical cha...

Machine learning-based prediction of drinking water quality index in Western Tehran using KAN, MLP, and traditional models.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
In this study, the water quality index (WQI) was calculated using multivariate statistics, incorporating physical, chemical, and microbiological analysis of water samples taken from water supply networks in the western district of Tehran from 2021 to...

Groundwater quality assessment and health risk evaluation for schoolchildren in Mujibnagar, Bangladesh: safe consumption guidelines using artificial neural network modeling.

Environmental geochemistry and health
Groundwater is a vital source of drinking water in Bangladesh, with tubewells commonly used, particularly in schools. This study assessed the quality of tubewell water in the southwest region, focusing on iron (Fe), arsenic (As), pH, electrical condu...

A methodology for coagulant virtual testing to improve dissolved organic matter removal in surface water treatment.

The Science of the total environment
Coagulation is one of the most crucial steps in a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP). The coagulant dose required for the removal of particles and natural organic matter (NOM) is typically determined through jar tests. However, this method is time...

Occurrence, Sources, and Prioritization of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Drinking Water from Yangtze River Delta, China: Focusing on Emerging PFASs.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
As regulations ban legacy PFASs, many emerging PFASs are being developed, leading to their release into the aquatic environment and drinking water. However, research studies on these emerging PFASs in drinking water are limited, and current standards...

A new method for drinking water quality risk assessment based on data-driven.

Environmental geochemistry and health
Risk assessment of water quality plays a crucial role in sustainable management of water resource. However, evaluating drinking water quality risk for different types of water within the same framework is a challenging task. The Water Quality Index (...

Hydraulic and thermal performance trigger the deterministic assembly of water microbiomes: From biogeographical homogenization to machine learning model.

Water research
Water quality at the point of consumption has long been a health issue because of the potential for microbial ecology. However, research on water hydraulic performance remains in its infancy, and in particular, little is known about the effects of th...
