International trends in systemic human exposures to 2,4 dinitrophenol reported to poisons centres

Tomasz Gziut et al.

Summary: International rates of human systemic exposures to DNP have significantly increased between 2010 and 2015, especially in Europe, Australia, and North America, with common fatal outcomes. Countries should consider additional measures to further reduce the risk of human exposure to this hazardous chemical.

Monitoring Groundwater Use as a Domestic Water Source by Urban Households: Analysis of Data from Lagos State, Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa with Implications for Policy and Practice

Kerstin Danert et al.

Summary: This study examines the crucial role of groundwater, specifically household self-supply, in urban drinking water supplies in sub-Saharan Africa, using detailed analysis of official datasets from Lagos State, Nigeria. The results demonstrate the importance of non-piped water supplies for meeting household drinking water demand in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and highlight inconsistencies between datasets. The study suggests that individual households, a key actor in providing drinking water supplies, are often overlooked in official data, with implications for policy and practice.

Phenolic compounds in water, suspended particulate matter and sediment from Weihe River in Northwest China

Yuyun Chen et al.

Summary: The study revealed that phenolic compounds in Weihe River were at moderate levels in water and high levels in sediment, with chlorophenols showing significantly higher concentrations than non-chlorophenols. The distribution coefficient (Kd) values indicated a potential input of fresh phenolic compounds in the river, posing a high ecological risk particularly in the water phase.

Monitoring Total Suspended Sediment Concentration in Spatiotemporal Domain over Teluk Lipat Utilizing Landsat 8 (OLI)

Fathinul Najib Ahmad Sa'ad et al.

Summary: Total suspended sediment (TSS) is an important water quality parameter influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors. This study in Teluk Lipat, Malaysia, utilized remote sensing technology and field sampling to monitor TSS concentration, revealing high TSS levels along the coastal line and river mouth, mainly contributed by river runoff and wave splash. The results demonstrated a strong correlation between TSS and Landsat 8 bands, with a developed regional algorithm for TSS mapping.
