Untreated wastewater samples were collected from the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) located in southeast Michigan between April 8 and May 26, 2020. The WRRF is largest single-site treatment facility US, it receives its service area via three main interceptors: Detroit River Interceptor (DRI), North Interceptor-East Arm (NI-EA), Oakwood-Northwest-Wayne County (O-NWI). A total of 54 untreated (18 per interceptor) at point intake into WRRF. Viruses isolated...
Our knowledge of PFAS fate and transport in the urban water cycle between treatment plants (WTPs) wastewater (WWTPs) is dependent upon analytical methodology. To conduct a mass balance through these engineered systems, environmental chemistry must be leveraged to quantify various media that facilities. Although balances have been attempted across unit processes for small selection WTPs WWTPs, system-wide are daunting challenge not achieved date. The continued existence legacy constantly...
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is useful in predicting temporal fluctuations of COVID-19 incidence communities and providing early warnings pending outbreaks. To investigate the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 concentrations wastewater communities, a 12-month study September 1, 2020, August 31, 2021, prior to Omicron surge, was conducted. 407 untreated samples were collected from Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) southeastern Michigan. N1 N2 genes quantified using RT-ddPCR. Daily...
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are an emerging issue in wastewater treatment. High-temperature thermal processes, incineration being time-tested, offer the opportunity to destroy change composition of PFAS. The fate PFAS has been documented through sludge incinerators, including a multiple hearth furnace (MHF) fluidized bed (FBF). dewatered feedstock averaged 247- 1280-μmol targeted per sample run MHF FBF feed, respectively. Stack emissions (reportable for all from...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are compounds of emerging concern based on ubiquitous distribution potential human health impacts. Whereas manufacturing plants fire-training/suppression areas recognized as primary sources PFAS contamination the environment, understanding role water treatment (WTPs) resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) in cycling is important. Literature presence pathways within between WTPs WRRFs was reviewed synthesized to address this knowledge gap. The...
Throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, wastewater surveillance has been utilized to monitor in United States through routine national, statewide, and regional monitoring projects. A significant canon of evidence was produced showing that is a credible effective tool for monitoring. Hence, application can extend beyond SARS-CoV-2 encompass diverse range emerging diseases. This article proposed ranking system prioritizing reportable communicable diseases (CDs) Tri-County...
The Tri-County Detroit Area (TCDA) is the 12th most populous metropolitan area in United States with over three million people. Multiple communicable diseases are endemic TCDA. In 2017, to explore innovative methods that may provide early warnings of outbreaks affecting populations TCDA, an exploratory partnership was funded by a U.S. National Science Foundation Early-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) began. Since project team including College Engineering at Michigan State...
Life cycle assessment (LCA), coupled with process modeling to develop the life inventory, is a valuable tool assess differences in environmental performance when evaluating alternatives based on sustainability (triple-bottom-line) principles. Coupled whole plant model (SUMO21), an LCA assessed of options upgrade biosolids management for Great Lakes Water Authority water resource recovery facility. All five evaluated (composting plus four anaerobic digestion alternatives) were able meet core...
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are being studied in all environmental matrices because of their ubiquitous presence adverse human health impacts. This study conducted a surveillance 27 water resource recovery facilities throughout the United States Canada to screen range PFAS concentrations pre‐stabilized sludge post‐stabilized product. Among facilities, 82% use anaerobic digestion rest chemical stabilization and/or incineration for stabilization. Forty compounds were...
Self-care is an important part of preventing unwarranted decline in poor health linked to multimorbidity and maintaining or improving health. Health social care professionals provide support for self-care, which can positively influence outcomes. It understand the extent they perceive their be effective what barriers its uptake desired outcomes exist. This study investigated knowledge, attitudes, perceptions front-line staff England concerning drivers promoting self-care service users with...
Gabapentin (GBP) has gained wide acceptance in the treatment of pain, migraine, bipolar illness, and epilepsy. It a relatively benign side effect profile, lacks significant drug interactions, is not liver metabolized, renally excreted. Herein three cases are presented that demonstrate withdrawal symptoms after abrupt discontinuation GBP. Clinicians encouraged to taper GBP dosage, especially when patients have taken high doses, warn possible adverse effects abruptly discontinuing themselves.

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) liquifies wet feedstocks to produce a biocrude under moderate temperatures (300–450 °C) and high pressures (>2500 psi). The can be upgraded transportation fuels (predominantly diesel) using typical refinery unit operations (e.g., hydrotreater distillation). HTL of wet-wastes is promising route environmentally friendly cost-competitive fuels; however, the feedstock significantly impacts product quality process yield. Consequently, it important rigorously...
