Seeking sustainable solutions for the global challenge of safe drinking water

Harmful bacteria can find their way into the water we consume despite treatment prior to distribution. In the face of water scarcity and aging infrastructure, there is a need for innovative, affordable, and portable solutions to sustainably provide safe drinking water across the globe. Engineering researchers from the University of Pittsburgh will use a $500K CAREER award from the NSF to create a sustainable material design framework to mitigate pathogen exposure in this invaluable resource.

Nanoscale nutrients can protect plants from fungal diseases

May 3, 2021 at 9:27 am Chances are, most if not all of the produce in your kitchen is threatened by fungal diseases. The threat looms large for food staples of the world such as rice, wheat, potatoes and maize ( SN: 9/22/05). Pathogenic fungi are also coming for our coffee, sugarcane, bananas and other economically important crops. Annually, fungal diseases destroy a third of all harvests and pose a dire threat to global food security. To stop the spread of fungal diseases, farmers fumigate the soil with toxic chemicals that lay waste to the land, sparing not even the beneficial microbes teeming in the earth. Or they ply plants with fungicides. But fungicide use is effective only in the short run until the pathogenic fungi evolve resistance against these synthetic chemicals.
