A Novel Disinfection Technology for Antimicrobial Resistance Control in Water
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to public health. Resistance occurs when bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites undergo genetic changes that protect them from the effects of antimicrobial agents. For example, proteins targeted by antimicrobial agents may undergo changes that essentially ‘hide’ them from the antimicrobial agents. Alternatively, the microbes will develop protective or
Charting a path to control microplastic pollution
Plastic is not just a convenience of everyday life. It has quietly become one of our greatest environmental challenges. Among its insidious forms, microplastics (tiny plastic fragments less than 5 mm in size) are emerging as a pervasive pollutant, found not only in our rivers, oceans and soils but in the water we drink, the
