Sewage discharges to aquatic environments present a real danger to human and ecosystem health. Event duration monitors (EDMs) from combined stormwater overflows (CSOs) are now fitted to over 90% of st...

Iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) are of growing concern due to their elevated toxicity compared to their chlorinated counterparts, with links to adverse health effects such as bladder cancer and miscarriages. Medical imaging agents like iohexol, commonly used in healthcare facilities, introduce io

This paper provides a Panarctic review of the regulations, loads, and treatment of wastewater (WW) discharged in the Arctic region. WW regulation principles and practices vary across the Arctic nations, being based either on effluent quality criteria (Canada, Sweden and Cruise ships), recipient-based criteria (Gree

To protect human health, limits for the concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water are decreasing in many countries. However, the required treatment to achieve these lower concentrations is more resource and energy intensive than conventional drinking water treatment. Cons

Simple, cost-effective and reliable methods are needed for pragmatic, flexible, safe and sustainable evaluations at early stages of product (chemical/material) development. This is especially true for...

Michael Templeton discusses developments and challenges in sanitation in this Editorial Perspective for Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology.

Numerous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) occur in consumer food packaging due to intentional and unintentional addition, despite increasing concern about their health and environmental hazards. We present a substance flow analysis framework to assess the flows of PFASs contained in plant fiber-ba

The strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) in carbonates can serve as a fundamental geochemical indicator holding an indispensable status in both modern and paleo-geochemical investigations. Though thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) is widely used as the most accurate technique for 87Sr/86Sr isotope analysis, an i
