Abstract. While low-cost particle sensors are increasingly being used in numerous applications, most of them have no heater or dryer at the inlet to remove water from sample before measurement. Deliquescent growth particles and formation fog droplets atmosphere can lead significant increases number concentration (PNC) mass concentrations reported by such sensors. We carried out a detailed study using Plantower PMS1003 sensor, both laboratory under actual ambient field conditions, investigate...

Health personnel and community workers are at the front line of COVID-19 emergency response need to be equipped with adequate knowledge related epidemics for an effective response. This study aimed identify coverage health information via different sources accessed by in Vietnam. A cross-sectional using a web-based survey was carried out from January February 2020 Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) used recruiting participants. We utilized exploratory factor analysis (EFA) examine construct...

Allergies have become an important public health issue as their occurrence is reportedly on the rise around world. Exposure to environmental factors considered trigger for allergic diseases. However, there was limited data importance of each factor, particularly in China. In this study, we aimed investigate association between diseases with exposure multiple via wastewater surveillance across 28 cities The conducted by measuring biomarkers proxies diseases, i.e. antihistamines, asthma drug,...

There were several studies that measured organophosphate esters (OPEs) in foods to assess the dietary intake of OPEs but none has OPE metabolites (mOPEs) same samples. In this study, we concentrations and mOPEs 87 food samples five tap water collected Queensland, Australia belonging eight groups. Tris(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCIPP) (detection frequency (DF), 77%) tributyl (TBP) (DF, 71%), most frequently detected OPEs, while dibutyl (DBP) 84%) diphenyl (DPhP) 86%) mOPEs. Vegetables had...

An important uncertainty when estimating per capita consumption of, for example, illicit drugs by means of wastewater analysis (sometimes referred to as "sewage epidemiology") relates the size and variability de facto population in catchment interest. In absence a day-specific direct count any indirect surrogate model estimate lacks standard assess associated uncertainties. Therefore, objective this study was collect samples at unique opportunity, that is, on census day, basis number people...

Wastewater analysis provides a non-intrusive way of measuring drug use within population. We used this approach to determine daily conventional illicit drugs [cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)] emerging psychostimulants (benzylpiperazine, mephedrone methylone) in two consecutive years (2010 2011) at an annual music festival.Daily composite wastewater samples, representative the festival, were collected from on-site treatment plant analysed for...

Abstract Aims To examine changes in illicit drug consumption between peak holiday season (23 December–3 January) Australia and a control period two months later coastal urban area, an inland semi‐rural area island populated predominantly by vacationers during holidays. Design Analysis of representative daily composite wastewater samples collected from the inlet major treatment plant each area. Setting Three plants. Participants Wastewater plants serviced approximately 350 000 persons 120...

A key uncertainty of wastewater-based epidemiology is the size population which contributed to a given wastewater sample. We previously developed and validated Bayesian inference model estimate based on 14 markers which: (1) are easily measured (2) have mass loads correlate with size. However, potential prediction due in-sewer degradation these was not evaluated. In this study, we addressed gap by testing their stability under sewer conditions assessed whether impacts estimates. Five...
