ACS ES T Water
. 2025 Feb;
5(2):738-748.
PMID: 39974565
A building plumbing rig experiment simultaneously examined how water temperature (cold/hot lines), influent disinfectant residual (0-1 mg/L chloramine), flow rate (0.5-2.2 gpm), and water retention time (WRT) of 0-17-days impacted...

. 2025 Jan;
5(1):377-386.
PMID: 39816977
Residential water heating represents an important nexus of energy/water conservation, waterborne disease, hygiene, and consumer preference. Here, we examine attributes of two off-the-shelf 151-L tank water heaters, one with hot...

. 2024 May;
132(5):56001.
PMID: 38728217
Background: Respiratory tract infections are major contributors to the global disease burden. Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) holds potential as a rapidly deployable framework to understand respiratory pathogen transmission and...
