This weekly newsletter covers the latest happenings in drinking water including peer-reviewed research, regulatory activities, US state and local news, company reports and recently issued patents.


Peer Reviewed Research

Boettger, J. D., et al. (2025). "Emerging Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Tap Water from the American Healthy Homes Survey II." Environ Sci Technol.

We analyzed 680 tap water samples from the American Healthy Homes Survey II for PFAS using non-targeted analysis (NTA) to expand the range of detectable PFAS. Based on detection frequency and relative abundance, about half of the identified PFAS were found only by NTA.

?

Du, X., et al. (2025). "Removal of dissolved organic matter in road runoff with sludge-based filters from the drinking water treatment plant." Water Sci Technol 91(2): 160-173.

This evaluation utilized resin fractionation, gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The filter demonstrated enhanced efficiency in removing dissolved organic carbon, achieving removal rates between 70 and 80%.

?

Kosgei, G. K. and P. U. A. I. Fernando (2025). "Recent Advances in Fluorescent Based Chemical Probes for the Detection of Perchlorate Ions." Critical Reviews in Analytical Chemistry.

This review highlights recent advancements and challenges in fluorescence-based chemical sensors for selective and sensitive detection of perchlorate, a persistent environmental pollutant and global concern due to its health and safety implications

?

Lemay, A. C. and I. C. Bourg (2025). "Interactions between Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) at the Water-Air Interface." Environ Sci Technol.

To understand the impact of organic loading on PFAS adsorption, we carried out molecular dynamics simulations of PFAS at varying interfacial densities.

?

Liang, F. and Y. Zhang (2025). "Research progress on fungi and their spore inactivation in different water bodies." Desalination and Water Treatment 321 C7 - 101007.

This review summarizes the latest advancements in the inactivation of fungi and their spores in various types of water bodies, including surface water, drinking water, and seawater. The paper provides a systematic review of the distribution characteristics of fungi and spores in aquatic environments, commonly used fungal identification methods, and the progress made in inactivation technologies. ? 2025 The Authors

?

Peiyuan, L., et al. (2025). "Control mechanism of Escherichia coli invasion by micro-nano bubbles in drinking water distribution system." Environ Res: 120897.

This study explored the control mechanism of MNBs using different gas sources (i.e., nitrogen, air, oxygen, and ozone) on E. coli invasion in drinking water of the secondary water supply tanks. MNB characteristics, water quality changes, bacterial concentration, and microbial communities were evaluated.

?

Silva, J. (2025). "Service quality models in the public drinking water supply in Mexico." Tecnologia y Ciencias del Agua 16(1): 488-529.

To analyze service quality models in the public drinking water supply in Mexico. The paper conducts a systematic review of various works of erudition on the subject, with the models being identified based on their application.. ? 2025 Instituto Mexicano de Tecnologia del Agua. All rights reserved.

?

Wang, J., et al. (2025). "Untangling the impacts of bacterial community on carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide across a drinking water reservoir." Environ Res: 120892.

Herein, we investigated the spatiotemporal patterns of CO(2) and N(2)O emissions and the underlying factors in the Danjiangkou Reservoir, Asia's largest artificial freshwater reservoir

?

Zeng, J., et al. (2025). "Influence of sewage effluent discharge on putative pathogen community in drinking water sources: insights from full-length 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing." J Water Health 23(1): 43-57.

This study utilized full-length 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to identify putative pathogenic bacteria and analyze their community structures in drinking water sources subjected to different levels of fecal pollution: urban rivers with low, moderate, and high sewage effluent mixing ratios, and mountain streams with minimal human impact.
