Biofilms are ubiquitous in aquatic environment. While so far, most of the ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection studies focus on planktonic bacteria, and only limited attention has been given …

Increasing concerns have accelerated the development of international regulations and
methods for ballast water management to limit the introduction of non-indigenous species …

Solar-driven advanced oxidation processes were studied in a pilot-scale photoreactor, as
tertiary treatments of effluents from an urban wastewater treatment plant. Solar-H 2 O 2 …

The emergence of antibiotic resistance represents a major threat to human health. In this
work we investigated the elimination of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) by solar light and …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a well-implemented process for water disinfection. The
development of emergent UV sources, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), has afforded …

In this work, we studied the effect of inorganic ions occurring in natural waters on E. coli
inactivation by solar and photo-Fenton processes, two crucial methods for drinking water …

Regrowth of bacteria after water/wastewater disinfection is a serious risk to public health,
particularly when such pathogens carry antibiotic resistance genes. Despite increasing …

Although the quality of drinking water is extremely important for human health, the
widespread use of chlorine disinfection results in the formation of chlorine-resistant bacteria …

In this work, the issue of hospital and urban wastewater treatment is studied in two different
contexts, in Switzerland and in developing countries (Ivory Coast and Colombia). For this …

There is limited research regarding alternative technologies of controlling the presence of
antibiotic residues and antibiotic tolerance/resistance in urban wastewater treatment plants …
