Occurrence, removal, and environmental impacts of emerging contaminants detected in water and wastewater in Southern Ontario—Parts I and 2
Hi all…a two part paper on the presence and fate of 220 emerging contaminants in two Windsor Ontario wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and one drinking water treatment plant (WTP) has just been published. Part I provides [...]
Updated Video to Help Canadian Water Utilities Communicate about Emerging Contaminants
Hi all…The Water research Foundation (WRF) has announced that an updated 6 min video to help Canadian water utilities communicate about emerging contaminants is now available at no cost. The video, Protecting Our Drinking Water, [...]
Detection of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Source and Drinking Water Samples from a First Nation Community in Canada
Hi all…Information on drinking water quality issues in First Nation Communities in the refereed literature is very sparse. An accepted manuscript has just appeared in the journal ‘Applied and Environmental Microbiology’ documenting some testing in [...]
Adhesion and Decontamination of Biological Contaminants in Drinking Water Distribution Systems
Hi all…hidden within this article is some information on the potential fate of 3 intentionally introduced toxins in distribution systems. The main focus of the study is an assessment of how various pathogens/toxins may attach [...]
EPA Issues Health Advisory Level for Perfluorinated Compounds in Drinking Water
The USEPA has released health advisories for the perfluorinated compounds perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). As far as I am aware, there are no advisories, guidelines, or standards in Canada at this time. They are very difficult to remove from drinking water.
Toxic cyanobacteria and drinking water: Impacts, detection, and treatment
Hi all…as this year’s cyanotoxin season draws near, a review article entitled “Toxic cyanobacteria and drinking water: Impacts, detection, and treatment” has just appeared in print. The authors state “this paper synthesizes and updates a [...]
