Sonic Kayaks geolocated air pollution, water turbidity, temperature and hydrophone analysis
<p>These data sets are the result of five trips using <a href="https://fo.am/activities/kayaks/">Sonic Kayaks</a> to collect data as part of the <a href="https://actionproject.eu/">ACTION Project</a>. The sampling was carried out in the Penryn river, around Falmouth docks and the Helford estuary. A variety of sensors were used:</p> <ol> <li>Thermometer recording water temperature.</li> <li>PMS7003 air pollution sensor recording a variety of particulate sizes.</li> <li>DolphinEar DE PRO hydrophone for detecting noise pollution and biological signals.</li> <li>A custom turbidity sensor to detect changes in water cloudiness.</li> </ol> <p>The sound has been processed in this data set in order to classify sound sources from different boat engines. More information, source code and <a href="https://github.com/fo-am/sonic-kayaks/wiki">open hardware plans for construction can be found here</a>.</p>
Data from: Do the health benefits of boiling drinking water outweigh the negative impacts of increased indoor air pollution exposure?
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Billions of the world's poorest households are faced with the lack of access to both safe drinking water and clean cooking. One solution to microbiologically contaminated water is boiling, often promoted without acknowledging the additional risks incurred from indoor air degradation from using solid fuels.</p> <p><strong>Objectives: </strong>This modeling study explores the tradeoff of increased air pollution from boiling drinking water under multiple contamination and fuel use scenarios typical of low-income settings.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>We calculated the total change in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from indoor air pollution (IAP) and diarrhea from fecal contamination of drinking water for scenarios of different source water quality, boiling effectiveness, and stove type. We used Uganda and Vietnam, two countries with a high prevalence of water boiling and solid fuel use, as case studies. </p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Boiling drinking water reduced the diarrhea disease burden by a mean of 1110 DALYs and 368 DALYs per 10,000 people for adults and children <5 years in Uganda, respectively, for high-risk water quality and the most efficient (lab-level) boiling scenario, with smaller reductions for less contaminated water and ineffective boiling. Similar results were found in Vietnam, apart from fewer avoided DALYs in children due to different demographics. In both countries, for households with high baseline IAP from existing solid fuel use, adding water boiling to cooking on a given stove was associated with a limited increase in IAP DALYs due to the log-linear dose-response curves. Boiling, even at low effectiveness, was associated with <em>net </em>DALY reductions for medium- and high-risk water, even if using unclean stoves/fuels. Replacing traditional stoves with improved stoves coupled with effective boiling practices significantly reduced total DALYs. </p> <p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Boiling water generally resulted in a net decrease in DALYs. Future efforts should empirically measure health outcomes from IAP vs. diarrhea associated with boiling drinking water using field studies with different boiling methods and stove types.</p>

State of Nature layers for Water Availability and Water Pollution to support SBTN Step 1: Assess and Step 2: Interpret & Prioritize
<p>There are multiple well-recognized and peer-reviewed global datasets that can be used to assess water availability and water pollution. Each of these datasets are based on different inputs, modeling approaches, assumptions, and limitations. Therefore, in SBTN Step 1: Assess and Step 2: Interpret & Prioritize, companies are required to consult different global datasets for a robust and comprehensive State of Nature (SoN) assessment for water availability and water pollution. </p> <p>To streamline this process, WWF, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and SBTN worked together to develop two ready-to-use unified layers of SoN – one for water availability and one for water pollution – in line with the <a href="https://sciencebasedtargetsnetwork.org/resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Technical Guidance for Steps 1: Assess and Step 2: Interpret & Prioritize</a> (July 2024). The main outputs contain the maximum values of Water Availability and of Water Pollution as well as the individual indicators' values. This information is available at different spatial resolutions, thus in two data formats: 1) a shapefile with values at HydroBasins (Pfafstetter level 6); and 2) an excel file with values at sub-national divisions (Adm1) and national divisions (Adm0). These datasets and complete documentation are publicly available for download below.</p>

Permeable Curbs for Storm Water Pollution
<p>One of the problems that increased urbanization poses is storm water pollution. Several control measures exist that are used to treat and reduce pollution in our waterways, one of those being permeable concretes; but these have not been widely adopted. The goal of this project was to develop a permeable curb apparatus that could be used in retrofitting conventional streets. The permeable curb is comprised of a permeable concrete mix with a perforated pipe running through its center, this allows for water to filter through the porous concrete and continue downstream through the perforated pipe which would eventually lead to our water ways. Project goals include determining permeable curbs pollutant removal efficiencies, and best cleaning options needed to be optimally utilized in urban environments. A test apparatus simulating a typical street profile is used in the laboratory environment to determine the percentage of solids that can be removed from the water treated for typical design rain events, the potential for clogging and fouling of the curb, and the ability to recover lost performance through cleaning the permeable curb. Results to date show that 95% solids removal is possible for up to 15 years of simulated solids loading to the curb. The diameter size range of the 5% of solids that do pass through the curb were measured to be in the range of 2 - 55 mm. Particle sizes larger than this tend to be caught within the curb and contributed eventually to curb clogging resulting in reduced hydraulic flow capacity. Cleaning cycles of the curb at a moderate backwash rate of 0.1 m<sup>3</sup> m<sup>-2­</sup> min<sup>-1</sup> did not recover solids trapped within the curb with only 7 % of the prior trapped solids removed from the curb in the cleaning process.</p>
