In Australia, around 1.4 million tonnes of biosolids were produced in 2021…
This project investigated the relationship between disinfection by-product (DBP) formation in drinking water and the molecular weight distribution of its natural organic matter precursors (NOM) to help increase our understanding of how NOM properties such as size, aromaticity and structure affect DBP formation and toxicity of the formed DBPs…
This project developed more sophisticated ways in which to study dissolved organic matter (DOM) from a variety of different water sources (wastewater, dam water etc)…
This project established a bioassay using mouse embryonic stem cells to assess the effects of the cyanobacterial toxin, cylindrospermopsin, on early embryonic development…
This project aims to better understand chemical and biological hazards in Australia through long-term collection and analysis of wastewater and biosolids…
The Collaboration on Sewage Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 (ColoSSoS) project combined the expertise of more than 50 Australian organisations in R&D activities that have enabled health departments across the country to integrate quantitative measurements of SARS-CoV-2 virus detected in sewage with human clinical PCR test data for COVID-19…
The aim of Project 1127 was to help the water industry better manage and understand contaminants of emerging concern (CEC), through…
New satellites and drones have the capacity to provide higher resolution images, of larger areas, more often than ever before, but how can water managers and scientists access or use this data, and what will they need to incorporate remotely sensed information into analysis, planning and other decision-making processes…
Significance of the environment as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance from agricultural origin
Microscopic organisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses can cause disease and infection, but most can be treated with pharmaceutical drugs…
‘PFAS’ are a large class of chemical compounds, some of which can bioaccumulate or be toxic to humans and animals…
