Building on previous work where fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to detect
sewage in rivers, a portable LED spectrophotometer was used for the first time to establish …

Characterising the organic and microbial matrix of water are key issues in ensuring a safe
potable water supply. Current techniques only confirm water quality retrospectively via …

Key to effective disinfection byproduct (DBP) management is source water control and
management, and more specifically, organic matter (OM) control and management …

The intrinsic fluorescence of aquatic organic matter emitted at 350 nm when excited at 280
nm correlates widely with water quality parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand …

We assessed the utility of online fluorescence spectroscopy for the real-time evaluation of
the microbial quality of untreated drinking water. Online fluorimeters were installed on the …

Improved monitoring of potable water is essential if we are to achieve the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG6: to make clean water and sanitation …

In this article, Fluorescence spectroscopy has been employed for the assessment of
microbial load and it has been compared with the gold standard colony forming unit (CFU) …

Wastewater quality is usually assessed using physical, chemical and microbiological tests,
which are not suitable for online monitoring, provide unreliable results, or use hazardous …

The quantification of pathogenic bacteria in an environmental or clinical sample commonly
involves laboratory-based techniques and results are not obtained for 24–72h after …

Microbial contamination is one of the main risks affecting water safety. Traditional microbial
detection methods tend to be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Thus, this study …
