HOCl vs OCl−: clarification on chlorine-based disinfectants used within clinical settings (2023)
Journal Article

Disinfection is a mainstay of infection prevention, the importance of which was highlighted throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. There is frequent misuse of terminology surrounding chlorine solutions in the literature. This leads not only to confusion...

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Clean water for all (2022)
Digital Artefact

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimated that, as of 2020, 2 billion people across the globe did not have access to safely managed drinking water.

Ideally, safely managed drinking water should b... Read More about Clean water for all.

Managing potential pathogens in stored rainwater using small-scale in-situ electrochemical activation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Rainwater can be a lifeline for many people who do not have piped water supplies, experience dry seasons, or live-in fresh water scarce areas. The quality of stored rainwater can deteriorate over time, due to increasing concentrations of contaminants...

The efficacy of chlorine-based disinfectants against planktonic and biofilm bacteria for decentralised point-of-use drinking water (2021)
Journal Article

Chlorine solutions are used extensively for the production of biologically safe drinking water. The capability of point-of-use [POU] drinking water treatment systems has gained interest in locations where centralised treatment systems and distributio...

Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In a basin-wide survey of the River Ganga and key tributaries, from the Himalayan source to the Bay of Bengal in India, we aim to improve the conceptual understanding of downstream water quality trends along > 2000 km. Here we explore the spatial di... Read More about Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts.

Using in-situ sensors to quantify spatial variability in nutrient concentrations across the Ganges river basin (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is increasing interest in monitoring spatial variability in biogeochemical processes using field deployable sensors. Despite this, rigorous assessments of accuracy and optimal sensor configurations remain limited for such applications. We under...

Taking the pulse of Mother Ganga - Revealing the visible and invisible water pollution crisis along the Ganges River (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is probably hard to overestimate the significance of the River Ganges for its spiritual, cultural and religious importance. As the worlds’ most populated river basin and a major water resource for the 400 million people inhabiting its catchment, t...

Sediment and surface water microplastic contamination along the Ganges River, from the Himalayan foothills to the tidal reach downstream of Kolkata, India (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Twenty rivers have been estimated previously to account for almost 70% of global plastic emissions to the marine environment. Of these, the Ganges River was second only to the Yangtze River. Yet, scale and complexity of the Ganges River network make...
