The article discusses the discrepancy between laboratory and field performance of point-of-use water treatment (POUWT) techniques and proposes a strategy to help mitigate the research gap and explore the potential to improve current health risk assessments and recommendations by public health entities and manufacturers of POUWT products.

The article discusses a study conducted in North Carolina on the effectiveness of under-sink, activated carbon block water filters certified to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water.

The study explores combining the MadiDrop+ with household water filters and incorporating copper into the MadiDrop+ to address its shortcomings. The research outcomes include publications and presentations disseminating the findings.

The document highlights the use of ceramic filters with silver nanoparticles, silver nitrate solutions, and other silver-based technologies for water disinfection. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of considering factors such as temperature, pH, contact time, and organic matter in evaluating the efficacy of silver-based disinfection.

The study investigated the effectiveness of sodium thiosulfate dechlorination in reducing the toxicity of chlorinated water. The researchers found that the use of sodium thiosulfate can effectively reduce the toxicity of chlorinated water, making it safer for aquatic life.

The research paper discusses a study conducted in South Sudan to evaluate the acceptability, effectiveness, and fouling of PointOne membrane filters in reducing thermotolerant coliforms. The study found that the filters were acceptable and effective in reducing coliforms for four months, but effectiveness dropped when surface water use increased.

The article discusses a study that was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a ceramic water filter in reducing the concentration of bacteria and viruses in drinking water. The study was conducted in a rural community in Cambodia, where the ceramic filters were distributed to households.

This study tested the efficacy of different cleaning solutions in low- and middle-income countries and humanitarian contexts. The study also simulated the use of a water filtration system over a period of 10 days to test its effectiveness in removing E. coli and other contaminants.

The article is about the laboratory efficacy and field effectiveness of hollow-fiber membrane filters (HFMFs) used for household water treatment (HWT) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and humanitarian contexts. The study tested the performance of four different HFMFs in removing E. coli and other contaminants from influent water.

The document provides comprehensive guidance on the selection of chlorine tablets for household water treatment in emergency situations. It outlines a procedure for assessing water quality, recipient context, taste and odor thresholds, and local context to determine the most appropriate chlorine tablet size.
