This review examines the potential of spectroscopic methods in online and real time water
quality monitoring. Extensive research has shown that measurements of changes of …

Fluorescent staining coupled with flow cytometry (FCM) is often used for the monitoring,
quantification and characterization of bacteria in engineered and environmental aquatic …

There is a need for a rapid and robust method of organic matter (OM) monitoring during
drinking water treatment. Although it has been shown that fluorescence spectroscopy has …

We assess the use of fluorescent dissolved organic matter at excitation-emission
wavelengths of 280 nm and 360 nm, termed tryptophan-like fluorescence (TLF), as an …

Water is a common substance, yet life cannot exist without it, being the major component of
all living things. Considering the tremendous impact water has on life health, it is always an …

Microorganism contamination is a permanent concern in a wide range of fields, including the
water-treatment, food and pharmaceutical industries, in which fast detection is critical to …

Current quantification methods of Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination in water samples
involve long incubation, laboratory equipment and facilities, or complex processes that …

Faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) are limited in their ability to protect public health from the
microbial contamination of drinking water because of their transience and time required to …

Monitoring bacteria is essential for ensuring microbial safety of water sources, including river
water and treated wastewater. The plate count method is common for monitoring bacterial …

Laboratory support for low-resource regions is a rising global issue. As microbiological
contamination is closely associated with other issues like food safety, water supply …
