Diarrheal illnesses claim the lives of hundreds of thousands of children each year, most of
whom live in rural and low-income communities. Ceramic Water Filters (CWF) are widely …

Water safety is one of the major environmental issues. Drawbacks of the conventional
disinfection methods necessitate alternative, novel, low-cost, safe and highly efficient …

Point-of-use treatment technologies can increase access to safe drinking water in rural
areas. Sustained use of these technologies is uncommon due to oversight of community …

Currently, serious challenges to drinking water security remain. Toxic chemicals and
opportunistic pathogens can trigger a grave health risks even in areas where the water …

In this work, different poly (lactic acid)(PLA)-based nanocomposite electrospun fibers,
reinforced with both organic and inorganic nanoparticles, were obtained. As organic fibers …

The need to improve the flow rate and maintain the quality of filtrate using ceramic pot filter
(CPF) so as to improve the access to potable water in rural areas informed this work …

In this study, silver nanoparticle decorated chitosan (CS/Ag NP) cryogels were fabricated
through a simple freeze-drying process for point-of-use (POU) water disinfection. The CS/Ag …

Silver nanoparticle (SNP)-containing ceramic filter (SNP-CF) has been widely investigated
for water disinfection but the filters usually lose their antibacterial efficacy after short time …

Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) is increasingly recognized as a vital sustainable practice in
urban environments, aimed at enhancing water conservation and reducing energy …

Compromised water quality risks public health, which becomes particularly acute in
economically marginalized communities. Although the majority of the clean-water-deprived …
