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...

NEW: As residents and business owners prepare to return to their properties near #LosAngeles, safe drinking water should be top of mind. Thoughts and tips below @ConversationUS 👇🏻👇🏻 theconversation.com/wildfires-ca... #PalisadesFire #EatonFire #SlymarFire #California #wildfires
Wildfires can contaminate drinking water systems with harmful chemicals − here’s what Los Angeles needs to know
Fires can make drinking water, and the water pipes and tanks themselves, unsafe. A researcher who has worked with communities after several wildfires explains why, and what to do.

💯Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is more important than HEPA rating! I have been buying portable air cleaners for the lab and home that are not HEPA-level but offer a high CADR per dollar spent and low noise. Marwa Zaatari's comparison chart from 2021 is a good way to think about this.
[1/2] All that matters is CADR! Ignore things super-hyper-mega HEPA. Often times a filter that only provides 70-80% actually provides more clean air than a filter that is 99.97%(HEPA). I used a 16x20 3M filter taped to a Taotronic AP-003(with no internal HEPA installed) and got a 30% boost in CADR.
