Use of anthropogenic gadolinium as a tracer for bank filtrate in drinking water wells
Knowledge of the amount of bank filtrate in raw water is crucial for drinking water suppliers using water wells in close proximity to rivers, in particular if those rivers are strongly affected by anthropogenic activities, e.g. receiving effluents from waste water treatment plants. Analysis of organic micropollutants as tracer compounds is costly and time-consuming, and results may be biased by ...

Environmental and health concerns regarding the quality of water in a poor suburb of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo
In many developing countries, the scarcity of potable water is an ongoing challenge. Even when water is plentiful, its quality may be unsuitable for household use such as in the city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) which is the study area for this investigation. Shortage of potable water has forced inhabitants in the city to rely on water wells dug without adherence to ...

5 States with high levels of Arsenic in groundwater
Arsenic is a chemical element that enters the environment from mineral deposits, industrial activity, pesticides and the smelting of metals. In high levels, arsenic can cause toxicity, liver and kidney damage, and even cancer. In 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set a maximum contaminant level of 10 ppb for arsenic in all potable water. Since the standard went into effect ...

Feasibility assessment of surface water disinfection by ultrafiltration
Ultrafiltration (UF) has been presented as an alternative to chemical disinfection to obtain safe drinking water, for its ability to remove microbiological contamination. Hollow-fiber UF membranes are designed as an effective barrier to microorganisms, for their high manufacturing integrity and for the ‘potting’ method adopted to seal fibers to the feeding/extraction manifold. ...

Assessing the spatial pattern of iron in well water from a small central Florida community
Iron is one of the most common elements in the Earth's crust, which corresponds to it being a common constituent in drinking water supplies. Residents of Bithlo, an unincorporated community in east-central Florida, have observed that their drinking water tastes like metal and stains clothing and teeth. An evaluation of water samples collected from over 200 private drinking water wells ...

Fluxes of 13 selected pharmaceuticals in the water cycle of Stockholm, Sweden
Mass flows of 13 pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs) found in drinking water were studied in the water cycle of Stockholm. Data were collected by analyzing samples of surface water, raw water and drinking water as well as influents, effluents and sludges from waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) in Stockholm area. A mass balance was performed, based on sold amounts of pharmaceuticals and the ...
