Scholars warn attention needed to make wastewater potable and ensure public safety nationwide against emerging threat of antibiotic resistance

Engineers discover lead-free perovskite semiconductor for solar cells using data analytics, supercomputers

The main source of the contamination is natural, but human factors such as groundwater-table decline and nitrate pollution may be exacerbating the problem

A recent research study applied experimental data and mathematical models to understand some of the limitations of biodegradation of toxic pollutants that are frequently found in contaminated aquifers

What’s something found in all wastewater that will allow us to account for all of it?

Elevated levels of radioactive cesium-137 were found in sands and brackish groundwater beneath beaches up to 60 miles away

UCR study on US Glacial Aquifer and three Asian countries suggests public health officials should monitor manganese as a possible public health threat

Digging in the dirt

Bacteria provide a microbial partner to help protect trees from the toxic effects of pollutants and break down the toxins plants bring in from contaminated groundwater

Manganese, a trace mineral necessary in small amounts for human health but potentially toxic in high doses, relates differently than its cancer-causing cousin, arsenic, to dissolved organic matter in groundwater, according to a recent study
