Abstract: Microbiological risks associated with drinking water can be minimized by providing enhanced integrity monitoring of bacterial removal by water treatment processes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of real-time bacteriological counters for continuously assessing the performance of a full-scale sand filter to remove bacteria. Over the course of an 8-day evaluation, online counting of bacteria was successfully performed, providing continuous bacterial counts in the sand filter influent and effluent over approximate ranges from 17 × 10

Abstract: The question of whether long-term chronic exposure to microplastics (MPs) could induce dose- and size-dependent adverse effects in mammals remains controversial and poorly understood. Our study explored potential health risks from dietary exposure to environmentally relevant doses of polystyrene (PS) MPs, through a mouse model and integrated analyses of the interruptions of fecal microbial metagenomes and plasma lipidomes. After 21 weeks of exposure to the MPs (40-100 μm), mice mainly exhibited gut microbiota dysbiosis, tissue inflammation, and plasma lipid metabolism disorder, although no notable accumulation of MPs was observed in the gut or liver. The change of the relative abundance of microbiota was strongly associated with the exposure dose and size of MPs while less significant effects were observed in gut damage and abnormal lipid metabolism. Moreover, multiomics data suggested that the host abnormal lipid metabolism was closely related to bowel function disruptions, including gut microbiota dysbiosis, increased gut permeability, and inflammation induced by MPs. We revealed for the first time that even without notable accumulation in mouse tissues, long-term exposure to MPs at environmentally relevant doses could still induce widespread health risks. This raises concern on the health risks from the exposure of humans and other mammals to environmentally relevant dose MPs.

Abstract: Infants and children under 6 years old spend most of daily time in Child Care Centers (CCCs), especially in the tropical regions like Singapore. Environmental exposure and associated risk during this early critical developmental stage is of great public concern. In this study, seven representative volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and five typical phthalates were analyzed in the indoor and outdoor air s les collected from 32 Singapore CCCs. The median of total VOC and phthalate concentration in indoor air was 19.03 and 5.41 μg m
