To prevent this from happening, you must flush buildings to replace all the old water with new water at least weekly. All buildings are different, so this might take a few hours or even days. If flushing has not been done during closure, you should conduct your water safety risk assessment procedure. You should also carry out ...
This systematic review with meta-analysis, performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, aims at evaluating the potential correlation between magnesium and calcium concentration in drinking waters and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which impose a considerable burden in ...
It is rarely reported that the interaction between xenobiotics and algae may cause potential water quality risks and affect the drinking water treatment process. ...
In an effort to assess the combined risk estrone (E1), 17β‐estradiol (E2), 17α‐ethinyl estradiol (EE2), and estriol (E3) pose to aquatic wildlife across United States watersheds, two sets of predicted‐no‐effect concentrations (PNECs) for significant reproductive effects in fish were compared to predicted environmental concentrations (PECs). ...
Yersinia enterocolitica has been detected in surface water, and drinking untreated water is a risk factor for infection. PCR-based methods have been used to detect Y. enterocolitica in various sample types, but quantitative studies have not been conducted in water. ...
The study showed that indiscriminate FS dumping from along the canal banks and discharge of market waste were likely the major sources of E. coli and Salmonella spp. in contamination of the canal water. The increased microbial pathogen concentrations near the FS treatment facility also indicated contamination risks from poorly designed treatment facilities. ...
