Untreated hospital and biomedical wastewater is a significant threat to water bodies around the world. Particularly in developing countries, causing a devastating impact on waterbodies. It is time to set up a system that makes wastewater treatment simple and hassle free. . .

🆕 #EU4Health call for tenders on framework contracts to measure pathogens and pollutants in untreated wastewater This call aims to acquire supplies, equipment and services necessary for the monitoring and testing of wastewater, allowing to detect pathogens and pollutants, and establish an early warning system for future pandemics. The call includes three lots: 🔹 Provision of supplies, equipment, delivery & dispatch services 🔹 Measurements of pathogens 🔹 Measurements of pollutants Apply by 17 September: https://lnkd.in/dt4aegNU

What an amazing IBEC - Integrated Bioscience & Built Environment Consortium session on detecting and measuring risks from harmful microbes in our buildings! Being my pet area, it was a bit of a fan-girl breakfast, as I listened to the discussion on the topic of "Pioneering Health Through Indoor Air Quality". Thanks to Doctors Erik Malmstrom, Corey Boles, Ph.D., Karen Dannemiller. Krystal Godri Pollitt, William Mills and Alex LeBeau, PhD, MPH, CIH and to Mitesh Kumar for their generous time and knowledge sharing. And to Stephane Bilodeau, Eng. PhD, FEC and Kenneth Martinez for their as ever extraordinary leadership. And all credit to the Firebrand team under Amanda K. Larrinaga for making it all work so well. I took home the messages that: We can detect harmful bioagents in real-time, or near real-time detection but the technology involved is very expensive and not yet a solution to IAQ improvements in buildings, rather being used for detect-to-warn militray applications. Affordable and current methods may not work for all situations - e.g. a new pathogen arrives before cases are identified, or the sensitivity of the method is too low to detect pathogens that are nonetheless harmful. "Fit for purpose" is important when designing monitoring programs or testing - whether we are measuring carbon dioxide, particulate matter, or pressure drops across HVAC filters, we need to take practical steps that lead to implementing successful change, and choose the right metric for a given situation. We can monitor thousands of chemical and microbial agents in buildings, but what matters is how that data is interpreted and used. We should test when the problem is not already obvious (like not testing a wall when it is visibly covered in mould), or when we need to delineate the extent or a spread of a contaminant in air or on surfaces. Not only mould and bacteria, but viruses can accumulate and remain viable in materials and on surfaces especially carpet, and that viruses accumulating in waste water can predict infectious outbreaks a week ahead (lots of new material here for my upcoming AIRAH IAQ conference talk on exploiting reservoirs to assess air quality). Here are the details - link to the recording will be available soon! #webinar #learning #indoorairquality #infectioncontrolandprevention #moldtesting #mould #researchanddevelopment #specialists

In healthcare, the importance of water quality, particularly within Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSDs), cannot be overstated. At Moerk Water, we commit to ensuring that our water treatment solutions not only meet but exceed the standards set by AS4187/5369, critical for maintaining patient safety and operational efficacy. Our latest comprehensive overview sheds light on the intricate balance required in water treatment technologies to support CSSD functionalities effectively. We cover the pivotal role of Reverse Osmosis technology, stringent water quality parameters, and the ongoing need for system monitoring and maintenance. Check out the article below ⬇ then tell us, how the water quality in CSSDs impact your daily operations and patient care? We're keen to hear from healthcare professionals about your challenges and successes in maintaining these standards. #Healthcare #CSSD #AS4187 #AS5369 #Sterilisation #PatientSafety #CleanWaterWhereYouNeedIt #MoerkWater

Decarbonization in hospitals is critical for mitigating climate change and promoting sustainability within the healthcare sector. Hospitals are significant consumers of energy and resources, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions .Regularly assessing and reporting on carbon emissions can help hospitals set clear goals for reduction and track their progress.

𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 World Water Day 2024, organized by the United Nations and celebrated annually on 22 March, is themed "Water for Peace". This global initiative draws attention to the crucial importance of freshwater.   Did you know that 2.2 billion people still do not have access to safely managed drinking water? Public health, prosperity, #food and energy systems, economic productivity and #environmental sustainability all depend on a well-functioning and fairly managed water cycle and strict and constant monitoring of drinking water. At Shimadzu, we recognize the critical role this plays. That's why we are proud to offer a comprehensive solution for drinking water testing. Our state-of-the-art technologies, including #ICPMS, #TOC, #HPLC, #LCMS and #GCMS, enable us to ensure the #safety and #quality of drinking water.
