Environmental engineering education has been the focus of much attention in recent years. In the past, environmental engineering, more commonly known then as sanitary or public-health engineering, was taught as a subject within the civil engineering curriculum. As time progressed, and with it the realisation of the significance of the new field in engineering environmental engineering it began ...

Menstrual hygiene is an often-ignored problem in international development: lack of access to sanitation keeps women out of schools and the labor force. Sanitary napkin solutions to this issue normally focus on supply chain and manufacturing.

THE history of the development of the atomic theory is usually imagined to be the exclusive province of chemistry and physics, and there is a tendency to suppose that molecular biology is one of the most recent products of twentiethcentury science. For these reasons it is surprising to discover that the paths of the corpuscular world-view and theoretical physiology crossed more than two thousan...

Caffeine has been suggested as a chemical indicator for domestic wastewater in freshwater systems, although it is not included in water quality monitoring programs. The Third Fork Creek watershed in Durham, NC, is highly urbanized, with a history of receiving untreated wastewater from leaking and overflowing sanitary sewers. The poor water quality originating in the Third Fork Creek watershed t...
