Improved monitoring of potable water is essential if we are to achieve the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG6: to make clean water and sanitation …

The intrinsic fluorescence of aquatic organic matter emitted at 350 nm when excited at 280
nm correlates widely with water quality parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand …

We assessed the utility of online fluorescence spectroscopy for the real-time evaluation of
the microbial quality of untreated drinking water. Online fluorimeters were installed on the …

Low-cost, field-deployable, near-time methods for assessing water quality are not available
when and where waterborne infection risks are greatest. We describe the development and …

We designed and validated a sensitive, continuous, in-situ, remotely reporting tryptophan-
like fluorescence sensor and coupled it with a machine learning model to predict high-risk …

Characterising the organic and microbial matrix of water are key issues in ensuring a safe
potable water supply. Current techniques only confirm water quality retrospectively via …

Building on previous work where fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to detect
sewage in rivers, a portable LED spectrophotometer was used for the first time to establish …

The fluorescence characteristics of natural organic matter in a groundwater based drinking
water supply plant were studied with the aim of applying it as a technique to identify …

It is of ongoing interest to evaluate real-time instruments for monitoring water contaminants
for source water control and water reuse system performance applications. Portable …

Fluorescence spectroscopy has been increasingly used to detect sewage and other
anthropogenic contaminants in surface waters. Despite progress in successfully detecting …
