“If you have flu-like symptoms… this is the time to seek medical attention.” At a news conference, @cmyusefsalaam.bsky.social spoke about the Legionnaires’ disease cluster in Central Harlem.

Check out our new open access review paper in ES&T on ways to unify drinking water opportunistic pathogen and disinfection byproduct research. Excited for this to be my first paper as a corresponding. Shout out to our amazing co-authors! @lutraskin.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Moving Beyond the Silos of Opportunistic Pathogen and Disinfection Byproduct Research to Improve Drinking Water System Management

Drinking water opportunistic pathogens (OPs) and disinfection byproducts (DBPs) both pose risks to public health, and their variable occurrence from source to tap complicates efforts to control them s...
