Urban stormwater and snowmelt pollution contributes significantly to the deterioration of
surface waters quality in many locations. Consequently, the sources of such pollution have …

In tropical to temperate environments, fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), such as enterococci and
Escherichia coli, can persist and potentially multiply, far removed from their natural reservoir …

We explore in-situ fluorescence spectroscopy as an instantaneous indicator of total bacterial
abundance and faecal contamination in drinking water. Eighty-four samples were collected …

Coastal zones are exposed to various anthropogenic impacts, such as different types of
wastewater pollution, eg, treated wastewater discharges, leakage from sewage systems …

Abstract The development of Microbial Source Tracking (MST) technologies was borne out
of necessity. This was largely due to the: 1) inadequacies of the fecal indicator bacterial …

Small urban streams discharging in the proximity of bathing waters may significantly
contribute to the deterioration of water quality, yet their impact may be overlooked. This study …

Highlights•New pollution indicators improve tracking of urban impacts on water quality.•In
the US, urban wastewater releases> 10 21 bacteria per day to water bodies.•Failing water …

Land application of livestock manure introduces antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and
mobile genetic elements (MGEs) into the soil environment. The objectives of this study were …

Ocean currents, multiple fecal bacteria input sources, and jurisdictional boundaries can
complicate pollution source tracking and associated mitigation and management efforts …

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes are abundant in stormwater, yet
there is no consensus regarding how to assess their public health risks. We systematically …
