TL;DR: Results showed that an interval longer than 2 weeks between application and rainfall often significantly reduced the levels of antibiotics and ARGs tested in runoff with the exception of tet(X), and information obtained from the study can be beneficial in designing manure management practices and estimating the environmental loading of antibiotics.

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of using wastewater from wastewater collection systems (WCSs) to monitor COVID-19 hotspots at the zip code level was examined, and the results demonstrated the feasibility for using WBE to monitor SARS-CoV-2 at the community level.

TL;DR: Under future climate change scenarios, where more intense precipitation is likely to result in higher infiltration rates and increased soil moisture, the potential for groundwater pollution from atrazine may be reduced, especially in areas with a long history ofAtrazine application to soil.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the influence of manure application on subsurface transport of four antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and found that the first-order attachment coefficient was five to six orders of magnitude higher in the treatment column than in the control column.

TL;DR: A modeling case study to evaluate atrazine and estrone transport in the subsurface under current and future climate conditions at a field site in central Nebraska indicates that reduced infiltration of trace organic compounds may indicate that lower trace organic concentrations in groundwater may occur under future climate scenarios.
