TLDR
In this paper, the relationship between children's blood lead levels and drinking water system characteristics using machine-learned Bayesian networks was assessed using blood lead records from 2003 to 2017 for 40,742 children in Wake County, North Carolina.About:

Improved Decision Making for Water Lead Testing in U.S. Child Care Facilities Using Machine-Learned Bayesian Networks
TL;DR: In this paper , machine-learned Bayesian network (BN) models were used to predict building-wide water lead risk in over 4,000 child care facilities in North Carolina according to maximum and 90th percentile lead levels from water lead concentrations at 22,943 taps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential exposure to drinking water contaminants in North Carolina: Evidence from structural topic modeling and water quality data.
TL;DR: In this paper , structural topic modeling (STM) and geographic mapping is used to identify the main topics and pollutant categories being researched and the areas exposed to drinking water contaminants.

TL;DR: In this article , a global dataset (∼40 countries, n = 1951) of community sourced household dust samples were used to predict whether indoor dust was elevated in Pb, expanding on recent work in the United States.

Intelligent lung cancer MRI prediction analysis based on cluster prominence and posterior probabilities utilizing intelligent Bayesian methods on extracted gray-level co-occurrence (GLCM) features
Jing Yang,Por Lip Yee,Hanen Karamti,Elsayed Mohamed Tag Eldin,Amjad Aldweesh,Atef El Jery,Lal Hussain,Abdulfattah Omar +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed posterior probabilities analysis was conducted to unfold the network associations among the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features, and the cluster prominence was selected as target node.

Childhood Lead Poisoning: A Perpetual Environmental Justice Issue?
TL;DR: Examining American Community Survey data (2012-2016) focused on comparing race/ethnicity with other sociodemographic variables known to be associated with risks for childhood lead poisoning provides thought-provoking context for making progress toward eliminating lead poisoning as a major environmental justice concern.

Distribution system water age can create premise plumbing corrosion hotspots
TL;DR: Examination of lead pipe, copper pipe with lead solder, and leaded brass materials in a replicated lab rig simulating premise plumbing stagnation events indicated that lead or copper release could increase as much as ∼440 % or decrease asmuch as 98 % relative to water treatment plant effluent.

True exposure to lead at the tap: Insights from proportional sampling, regulated sampling and water use monitoring.
TL;DR: Evaluating the ability of four regulatory sampling protocols to accurately determine weekly water lead levels (WLLs) of exposure at the kitchen tap in twenty-nine households with or without a lead service line (LSL) found mean WLLs after 5 min of flushing underestimated lead exposure by 47%.

Failing Our Children: Lead in U.S. School Drinking Water:
TL;DR: The regulatory vacuum that leaves children unprotected from potential exposure to very high lead doses through consumption of school water is discussed, and a need to reevaluate the potential public health implications of lead-contaminated drinking water in schools is reevaluate.

A risk assessment model for enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus in pasteurized milk: a potential route to source-level inference.
Gary C. Barker,N. Goméz-Tomé +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of likelihood ratios shows that alkaline phosphatase concentrations in filler tank milk are a good indicator of potential hazards and that these concentrations, in conjunction with other measurements, can be used effectively to discriminate over possible failure modes.
