Testing Water Quality

Testing Water Quality

When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Background:

Wastewater-based testing (WBT) for SARS-CoV-2 offers comprehensive disease prevalence data independent of clinical testing.
The rapid expansion of WBT has blurred lines between research and public health goals, highlighting a need for ethical frameworks.
Current WBT practices lack standardized ethical review and data management, posing risks to professionals and communities.

Conclusions:

A systematic framework is hypothesized to improve communication of ethical considerations in WBT.
Consistent application of standardized ethical review will foster critical evaluation and updating of WBT approaches.
This will help align WBT practices with the concerns of both practitioners and monitored communities.
