Assessing the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance through the reuse of treated wastewater

Creator:

Smesrud, Logan M.

Abstract:

Reclaimed water is a key source in overall global water management and sustainability; however, small concentrations of antibiotics in treated wastewater effluent threaten induction of antibiotic resistance in naturally-occurring soil bacteria and pathogens in irrigated soils. This type of chronic exposure has the potential to lead to more severe food...

The Effects of UV Irradiation on the Biosorption of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles to Heterotrophic Biomass

Creator:

Young, William M.

Abstract:

The production of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles has increased significantly in the past decades, which has generated concern due to their known toxicity in the environment. As a result of the production, use and disposal of productions containing TiO2, TiO2 nanoparticles are often received by wastewater treatment facilities. The adsorption...
