Microbial pathogenic contaminations have world widely represented a serious health
hazard to humans. Viruses, as a member of microbial contaminants, seriously threaten …

Water-borne pathogen contamination in water resources and related diseases are a major
water quality concern throughout the world. Increasing interest in controlling water-borne …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been considered as emerging contaminants of
concern nowadays. There are no special technologies designed to directly remove ARGs in …

Historically, organic amendments—organic wastes—have been the main source of plant
nutrients, especially N. Their use allows better management of often-finite resources to …

An understanding of the transport and survival of microbial pathogens (pathogens hereafter)
in agricultural settings is needed to assess the risk of pathogen contamination to water and …

The projected intensification of agriculture to meet food targets of a rapidly growing world
population are likely to accentuate already acute problems of soil compaction and …

Viruses are often associated with colloids in wastewater and could be transported with
colloids into groundwater from land disposal of human and animal effluent and sludge …

This study examines the cotransport of clay colloids and viruses in laboratory packed
columns. Bacteriophages MS2 and ΦX174 were used as model viruses, kaolinite (kGa-1b) …

A modeling framework is presented to determine fundamental parameters and controlling
mechanisms of colloid (microbes, clays, and nanoparticles) retention and release on …

Stormwater infiltration systems (SIS) have been built in urban areas to reduce the
environmental impacts of stormwater runoff. Infiltration basins allow the transfer of …
