Treatment Impacts on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Discharge in Wet- Weather Flows

March 8, 2024 / ibassis / Statewide / No Comments

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are a class of over 6,000 persistent, bioaccumulative, mobile, and toxic environmental contaminants that are ubiquitous in wastewater and stormwater. PFAS exposure is linked to

Probing Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions as a Driver of Complex Mixture Evolution in an Effluent-Impacted Stream in Iowa

March 8, 2024 / ibassis / Statewide / No Comments

Climate change and urbanization are increasing the influence of municipal wastewater effluent on receiving waters, making wastewater effluent-dominated streams common worldwide, including in temperate regions. This phenomenon increases loading of

Identify causal pathways of how household flood recovery measures lead to the reduction of unmet social needs

March 8, 2024 / ibassis / Statewide / No Comments

The frequency of catastrophic flood events, amplified by climate change has increased substantially in US Midwest (Neri et al., 2019; Reed et al., 2020). Flooding causes major economic and social
