Fire Retardants Are an Overlooked Source of Phosphorus to Western US Ecosystems
(JOURNAL) [Published : Apr 11, 2025]
Excessive nutrient loading to surface waters endangers drinking water supplies, recreation, aquatic life, and many other water quality end points. Unfortunately, concentrations of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) remain high in many U.S. waterbodies and may be increasing in remote...
Freshwater Faces a Warmer and Saltier Future from Headwaters to Coasts: Climate Risks, Saltwater Intrusion, and Biogeochemical Chain Reactions
(JOURNAL) [Published : Mar 10, 2025]
Alongside global climate change, many freshwater ecosystems are experiencing substantial shifts in the concentrations and compositions of salt ions coming from both land and sea.   We synthesize a risk framework for anticipating how climate change and increasing salt po...
Climate change-induced increases in precipitation are reducing the potential for solar ultraviolet radiation to inactivate pathogens in surface waters
(JOURNAL) [Published : Oct 12, 2017]
Climate change is accelerating the release of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to inland and coastal waters through increases in precipitation, thawing of permafrost, and changes in vegetation. Our modeling approach suggests that the selective absorption of ultraviolet radiation (U...
Developing spatially explicit critical loads for herbaceous species across the United States using convex hulls
(JOURNAL) [Published : Mar 04, 2025]
Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen and sulfur, after land use change, is one of the most impactful stressors to terrestrial biodiversity. Deposition effects on ecosystems are pervasive, impacting species distributions and disrupting natural communities and associated ecosystem se...
Impact of Multiple HVAC Systems on Indoor Air VOC and Radon Concentrations from Vapor Intrusion During Seasonal Usage
(JOURNAL) [Published : Mar 27, 2025]
Subsurface contamination can migrate upward into overlying buildings, exposing the buildings’ inhabitants to contaminants that can cause detrimental health effects. This phenomenon is known as vapor intrusion (VI). When evaluating a building for VI, one must understand that...
Quantitative microbial risk assessment of pathogen exposure from rainwater used in high-pressure vehicle washing
(JOURNAL) [Published : Mar 01, 2025]
A literature-based quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) was performed for the fit-for-purpose use of roof-collected rainwater in high-pressure vehicle washing. Our exposure assessment combined estimates of enteric pathogens in roof runoff (available for Salmonella,&...
