What are the emerging challenges facing the water industry? How do we know when drinking water is safe, and how do we measure and remove the contaminants that make it unsafe? How do we sustain communities in some of the driest places on the planet? Here you'll find AI-generated "podcasts" (produced by Google's NotebookLM) that summarize Dr. Daniel Gerrity's peer-reviewed scientific publications on these topics. As with human podcast hosts, "Chad" and "Beth" don't always get the science exactly correct, but they do a pretty good job of making this science accessible to the public. Bio: Dan Gerrity has a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Arizona State University and is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Nevada. Dan's research primarily focuses on the public health implications of water reuse, which is critically important for sustaining communities in water scarce regions. Dan has worked in industry, as a tenured Associate Professor at the University o

Mask mandates, social distancing, and frequent hand washing became the norm during the COVID-19 pandemic. While these measures were directed at SARS-CoV-2, public health officials noticed that there were corresponding re
The steady climb of a roller coaster generally leads to an exciting, stomach-turning descent. But in the world of drinking water, peaks can be stomach-turning in a much different way. To mitigate these scenarios, potable
There is always a baseline level of uncertainty when it comes to making critical decisions. But what do you do when there's a significant 'shock' to the system that causes this baseline uncertainty to spike? In 2020, whe
Engineers don't always drive trains, and trains don't always ride on tracks. For decades, civil and environmental engineers have been designing potable reuse treatment trains to ensure that communities throughout the wor
What do you think of when you hear the word "ozone"? Maybe the hole in the ozone layer? Or the harmful lung irritant present in smog? In describing ozone, the American Lung Association uses the phrase "ozone is good up h
Bacteria often get a bad rap, although justified in the case of something like Legionella or E. coli O157:H7. But they're not all bad! In fact, bacteria are the workhorses of wastewater treatment, specifically secondary
Many people fear their next trip to the dentist. Best case scenario you might slip through with just an uncomfortable cleaning, but you could also wind up diagnosed with a cavity, or maybe even needing a root canal. But
Whether you own or rent, cost of living just keeps rising. What if I told you that roommates would not only reduce your cost of living but could also reduce your risk of infection by Legionella? Sounds crazy, right? And
Legionella is currently the leading cause of drinking water disease outbreaks in the United States. U.S. drinking water regulations are generally based on an acceptable annual risk of infection of 1 in 10,000 people. Con
There are now countless examples of how wastewater surveillance can be used to track trends in infectious disease transmission within a community. Most of these examples focus on established pathogens that have become en
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the world as we know it, and we're slowly recovering from its aftermath. But what if viruses aren't the biggest threat to humans? The opening scene from HBO's "The Last of Us" foreshadows a
Have you ever bought furniture with stain-resistant fabrics? Or eaten food that was in a fast-food wrapper or cooked in a nonstick frying pan? If the answer is yes, then you may have been exposed to per- and polyfluoroal
The severity of a pathogen is often described in terms of a case fatality rate, or the ratio of people who die from the infection and associated disease vs. the total number of confirmed cases. Generally, the numerator (
In March 2020, the lights went out, and the Las Vegas Strip became a ghost town. More than a year later, tourists finally returned to the resorts, casinos, and night clubs as COVID restrictions were lifted and life slowl
Las Vegas is in the Mojave Desert--one of the driest places on the planet. Receiving about 4 inches of rain per year, some people question whether it makes sense to sustain a city whose water supply seems so uncertain. B
On February 7th, 2010, Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints defeated Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV. The game was played in Miami--more than 2,500 miles away from the Las Vegas Strip.
Unsheltered homeless individuals represent a highly vulnerable population, particularly when it comes to infectious and chronic disease. This is obviously due to the lack of shelter but also because of challenges in seek
Are the implications of unsheltered homelessness confined to this vulnerable population, or is it a wider problem that affects the broader community? This episode takes a "deep dive" into the nexus of public health, envi
Despite being described by some as "toilet to tap", indirect (IPR) and direct potable reuse (DPR) systems are capable of producing some of the highest quality drinking water on the planet. These systems involve advanced
Is the opioid epidemic worsening? Is fentanyl continuing to pour into the community, or is the supply drying up? And how do special events like the Super Bowl and March Madness affect drug consumption in Las Vegas? This
