So excited to announce that the evolution of Lacey Davis's thesis has been published in WIREs Water. In this paper we explore the regulatory framework around E. coli in streams, how this leads to environmental injustice in urban streams and rivers, the many ways groups try to address contamination within the regulatory framework, and the clear need for approaches outside of this framework to address E. coli. We then summarize the literature around mycofiltration, or the use of fungi, as a bioremediation technique for E. coli- a technique that we propose watershed advocacy groups and those in areas suffering from disproportionate exposure to E. coli contamination could potentially use to address contamination.
As always, if you don't have free access to the paper, drop me an email- I'm happy to share! |
