As the government plans to scrap free lateral flow tests from April 1, except for over 75s and people with weakened immune system, it might still interest you to know that people have discovered dubious ways to get false positives using LFTs.

Dubious Ingenuity?

Dr Karan Rangarajan, a doctor with the NHS who also creates content on TikTok, said fizzy drinks, fruit juice and tap water are giving false positive lateral flow antigen test results. Known as Dr Rajan on TikTok, the medic took to the platform to explain what this happens.

In a video that has received more than six and a half million views, he could be seen dropping water on the LFT and soon after, revealing a positive result. Dr Rajan, known for busting health myths on the platform, explained in the now-viral video:

First we need to look inside the lateral flow device. This grey box and the portion just above it contain antibodies that are sensitive to the Covid-19 virus. If you use things like soda, tap water and fizzy drinks, that’s going to provide an altered pH, which will affect the function of the antibodies on the test line.

Feeding into conspiracy theories

He added that if people do not follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using the test kit, they might get inaccurate results. Dr Rajan continued:

That is why you need to use this buffer solution (consisting of 99.7 percent saline solution) which provides a stable pH that will actually make the test work.

Conspiracy theorists have used these findings to argue that the pandemic is a hoax or that there are fewer cases than being reported.

In 2021, the BBC also reported that some school children were using this method to arrive at false positives in order to get out of school.

Southland District Councillor Karyn Owen says there have been complaints about the taste of the town’s drinking water.

Complaints have trickled into the Southland District Council about the taste of Riverton’s drinking water, but residents say it’s nothing new.

Councillor Karyn Owen raised the issue at a council committee meeting this week, saying there had been “quite a few complaints” about the taste of the town’s water, which is sourced from the Aparima River and treated.

The council subsequently posted on its website that it had received reports of taste and odour issues in the Riverton drinking water.

The council’s water asset manager Bill Witham said an “intermittent earthy taste” in the water was caused by very low river levels and warm temperatures.

* Councillor uses annual leave to attend meetings
* Paihia water smells like dirt say residents
* Woodville residents are frustrated over ‘vile’ water

When asked how many complaints had been made, he said “three service requests” from the public had been received regarding the issue in February and March, and another two service requests this year turned out to be minor private issues.

The water was still safe to drink, Witham said.

“The issue has been caused by a period of very low rainfall which is forecast to return to normal next month.”

Council staff were investigating options should the dry conditions continue now and in future years.

Mayor Gary Tong poured himself a glass of water from the tap and said he didn’t find anything wrong with it.

However, Aparima Restaurant and Bar owner Hannah Bickley said she recently spent $400 on a new water filter because the taste was “earthy” and “metallicy”.

“You can’t let your customers have crap water.”

The Riverton water had “always been horrible”, she said.

“What can you do about it … maybe the council can subsidise some water for us.”

Riverton’s Crib Cafe owner Cazna Gilder said its water was not affected by the current situation because “years ago” they installed an expensive high grade water filtration system.

The latest issue with the taste of the Riverton water was not new, she said.

“And it’s worse now because we have a drought.”

She paid “expensive water rates” as well as spending money on filters.

The town’s drinking water came from the Aparima River prior to 2013, but when complaints were made about its taste at that time, the town changed to bore water.

In 2019 complaints were made about the bore water, with reports of discolouration and lime scale in it, while some residents believed the calcium in the water was adversely affecting their hot water jugs and cylinders. The council assured them there were no health issues.

Soon after, the town’s drinking water was again sourced from the Aparima River.

Both Tong and Owen encouraged the public to inform the council if they had concerns with the water, so the council could address it.

QUAD CITY TIMES

Once again, Iowa got its report card for pollution in its rivers and lakes, and the news wasn’t good.

According to a Department of Natural Resources draft report, more than half of Iowa’s rivers and lakes are “impaired,” to use the more clinical word to describe the state of our waterways. “Polluted” would be the more accurate term.

A total of 594 water bodies were impaired and in need of remediation. Of our rivers, 56% were in that category; a full 67% of lakes and reservoirs are.

Another 157 water bodies were deemed impaired but an improvement plan isn’t required, or one has already been completed. Only 48 water bodies were de-listed.

This is an embarrassment, and it doesn’t get the attention it deserves from policymakers. But, why would it? When you’re trying to lure people and industry to the state, you’re not going to tell them your waters are fouled.

It matters, though. We guarantee you that people care.

People are also reading…

For a state that supposedly is trying to boost its competitiveness, this is one area it has overlooked.

To get on the impaired list means that waterways don’t meet water quality standards for their intended use, whether it be recreation, drinking, fishing, etc.

This isn’t a new problem, of course. Every two years, the DNR issues this report and it looks much the same.

Bacteria is the biggest factor cited across the state for streams and rivers, followed by fish kills. Animal waste is a big culprit in this area. And regulation, environmentalists say, is too forgiving.

Algae blooms are a big culprit for lakes and reservoirs.

Fixing this problem is an expensive proposition, too, and Iowans know it. Twelve years ago, more than 60% of voters approved a constitutional amendment to create a trust fund to pay for improvements to water quality and recreation.

At the time, people were told it would mean an increase in the sales tax. But since then, state lawmakers have ignored the voters and failed to act, even as a broad coalition of interests have pushed for them to do so.

The trust fund, and an increase in the sales tax to fund it, remain popular. Two years ago, a Des Moines Register poll said that 57% of Iowans backed the increase, while only 37% opposed.

Yet, lawmakers do next to nothing.

A few years ago, the Legislature devoted some funding to water quality, but all agreed it was wholly insufficient to the task.

Unfortunately, this year’s Legislature made it tougher to fix the problem. The recently approved revamp to the state’s tax system will drain the state of a lot of resources that could have gone to help.

In some parts of the state, people are willing to take this on. Polk County voters approved a bond referendum last year to pay for water quality and recreation projects. And most of Dubuque County voters also cast ballots in favor of a similar effort. (But because 60% approval was required, the referendum failed in Dubuque. Still, you can see voters there care about water quality.)

We think most Iowans care about the state’s rivers and lakes. And we think the next time that people see their state lawmaker they ought to simply ask this: Do you care that more than half of Iowa’s waterways are impaired. Then, follow it up with this: Why aren’t you doing anything about it?

These kinds of report cards shouldn’t be shrugged off. If Iowa’s schoolkids brought these grades home, they’d have to stay after class. Or repeat a grade. We think Iowa legislators should be held to the same standard.

Iowa should fix this problem for no other reason than because the people who live here deserve it. But policymakers also ought to realize if they’re going to truly compete for people and business, for tourism and growth, they must act as well. It is far past time for Iowa to get serious and clean up its rivers and lakes.

Assembly Bill 727 is heading to Gov. Tony Ever’s desk.

The bill, authored by Rep. Katrina Shankland, passed the State Assembly unanimously by the State Assembly in February 2021, and the State Senate earlier this week.

The legislation aims to protect drinking water and groundwater by creating a nitrogen optimization pilot program to help farmers reduce nitrogen loading and leaching by initiating a cover crop insurance rebate program to help farmers utilize cover crops to improve soil health.

The bill also created a new state hydrogeologist position to help local governments find and address local hotspots of contamination.

Shankland, who is also vice-chair of the 2019-20 Task Force on Water Quality, said she was “thrilled” with the progress.

“Last session, I co-chaired the Speaker’s Task Force on Water Quality and helped draft legislation to address our state’s water quality issues, and we took several steps forward by passing our 10 bipartisan proposals, including the provisions contained within this bill, unanimously through the State Assembly. While they never made it through the Senate due to the onset of the pandemic, I was glad to reintroduce this bill with my colleagues across the aisle this session,” Shankland said in a press release.

“This legislation will provide much-needed support for farmers in taking preventative measures that protect our drinking water, as well as helping local governments find and address contamination where it occurs. Everyone deserves clean drinking water —and I’ll keep saying so and backing up my words with legislative action. Today is a great day for clean water.”

Why Do We Celebrate National Groundwater Awareness Week?

The National Groundwater Association (NGWA) is conducting National Groundwater Awareness Week from March 6–12, 2022. This celebration emphasizes the importance of groundwater to human health and the environment.

The goal of National Groundwater Awareness Week is to consider research and data when it comes to groundwater, as well as to enlighten people about the importance of groundwater to nations throughout the globe.

National Groundwater Awareness Week educates people about innovative approaches to maintain groundwater-dependent ecosystems. It also helps raise funding for research into how groundwater flows through the subsurface and what factors influence its quantity and quality.

Groundwater and its Importance

Image Credit: Farion_O/Shutterstock.com

Water found beneath the Earth’s surface in the spaces between rock and soil is known as groundwater. Water that gathers above the surface of the planet, such as rivers, streams, lakes, and seas, is known as surface water.

Groundwater makes up about 30% of all freshwater on the planet, whereas surface water makes up approximately 70%. Groundwater is an essential source of water for public water supply and private wells around the world since it delivers water to wells and springs.

The majority of freshwater is located underground in aquifers and as soil moisture. Because groundwater can feed streams, a river can continue to flow even when there is no precipitation. Both ground and surface water may be used by humans.

Groundwater makes up around 98% of the world’s accessible freshwater and is around 60 times more abundant than freshwater found in lakes and streams. Groundwater, as a vital source of drinking water, keeps society afloat and, if depleted, can have disastrous consequences. That is why, during this week, scientists and activists are educating people about methods to care for the planet they live in via seminars and social media.

What is the Water Cycle?

The hydrologic cycle, often known as the water cycle, is a flow chart of how water is recycled in the environment. Water molecules stay constant regardless of whether they are solid, liquid, or gaseous. The process of liquid becoming water vapor occurs as drops of water in the ocean evaporate.

Water vapor may evaporate from water surfaces, land surfaces, and snowfields, and enter the atmosphere. Condensation is the mechanism of water vapor in the air converting to liquid water. Condensed water is the water that collects on the outside of a cold glass of water. The process of condensation is the polar opposite of evaporation.

A cloud is formed when water vapor condenses on microscopic particles of smoke, dust, and salt crystals. Water droplets join with other droplets and fall to Earth as precipitation after some time (rain, sleet, snow, hail, dew, and frost). Once the precipitation hits the earth, it travels into an aquifer as groundwater or remains above ground as surface water.

The Water Cycle is Affected by Contaminants

Humans, animals, and the environment all benefit from water cycle protection. Contaminants may be picked up by water at any time and transported to later stages of the cycle. During a strong rain or snowmelt, litter, sediment and invisible pollutants (such as fertilizers, oils, pesticides, and other chemicals) are transported over land and downstream to water bodies.

Industrial emissions may travel through the air and into clouds, causing acid rain. Pollution from a variety of sources accumulates across a watershed, damaging living creatures it comes into contact with.

How to Tackle Water Contaminations

A healthy ecosystem naturally filters some pollutants, but only to a certain extent. Natural filtration zones include permeable soils, vegetation, and wetlands, which absorb water and toxins to produce a ‘sink’ that slows the water down.

Over the last several decades, a huge amount of research has gone into developing reliable and efficient ways for detecting pollutants with the least amount of operational cost and energy. Quantitatively and qualitatively, recent advances in spectroscopic methods and biosensor approaches have enhanced detection sensitivities.

The accessibility of in-situ measurement techniques and multiple detection analyses has enhanced water monitoring applications in a variety of advanced techniques, including the effective implementation of hand-held sensing devices that improve adaptability in real-time for the identification of contaminants such as pesticides, microorganisms, heavy metal ions, and organic and inorganic components.

Over Pumping and Ways to Solve it

Excessive groundwater extraction by pumping has three significant effects on groundwater quality.

1. Excessive pumping moves oxygen and organic-rich surface water into the subsurface.
2. It encourages the accumulation of arsenic in surface soil that is watered with arsenic-laced groundwater.
3. It moves groundwater replenishment zones at extraction sites to varied depths, transporting dissolved arsenic from shallow to deeper aquifers.

Through technical or legislative intervention, optimal management for safe and sustainable groundwater exploitation activities in the region must attempt to mitigate the negative effects of pumping on groundwater quality.

Unprotected Groundwater

Because of many natural sources or a variety of human activities, groundwater may become polluted and unprotected due to residential, municipal, commercial, industrial, and agricultural operations.

Contaminants can enter groundwater through land surface activities. These include:

• Releases or spills from stored industrial waste
• Sources below the land surface but above the water table, such as septic systems or leaking underground petroleum storage facilities
• Structures underneath the water table, including wells

Groundwater with unacceptable levels of such pollutants is not suitable for drinking or other household water usage unless it is treated to eliminate the contaminants.

Groundwater is an important resource that must be protected through successful development and management. National Awareness Week hopes to highlight this importance and encourage well testing and maintenance, as well as promote policies that seek to further protect groundwater quality and supply. Continuing to take these steps will ultimately ensure our groundwater is clean and accessible for all those that use it, and will help create a healthier environment.

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (WOOD) — Benton Harbor had its State of the City address Tuesday night as the water crisis continues.

During the State of the City, Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammed said progress has been made in addressing the water crisis here, but much more still needs to be done.

“The City of Benton Harbor is a city in transition,” Muhammed said.

The mayor said funding has been key in removing lead water line and that in 2018 — when elevated levels were first discovered — the city had just $284,000 to address it.

Inside woodtv.com: Benton Harbor water crisis

“I’m happy to report just four years later the city of Benton Harbor has allocated $33 million to address the lead service line issue in the city of Benton Harbor. We have procured contracts and they are already on the ground working to remove the lead,” Muhammed said.

Muhammed focused on what has been achieved but acknowledges more funding may be needed.

“I think that what we have, considering the new testing and the new results that what we have, is sufficient,” he said.

In his speech, he pointed to a new study showing filtration is working as one sign of hope.

For a replay of the State of the City, watch the video in the player below.

“We do have good news where we recently received from the EPA that the over 3,000 water filters that was passed out from 2018 until now, when the study was done on 200. They found out that those water filters have been effective,” he said.

New Benton Harbor rule requires lead water line replacement

Water bottles are still being provided by the state in addition to the filtration.

“There are approximately 7,000 cases of water delivered per week to residents in order to keep them safe through this water crisis,” the mayor said.

The mayor says the city projects lead service lines will be replaced by the end of May in 2023.

“Until every lead service line is removed from the ground from the city of Benton Harbor and every tap is clean and pure drinking water is coming out of it our mission is not completed,” he said.

HOBACK, Wyo. – The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) announced today, March 8 that a settlement has been reached with the owner of Hoback RV Park addressing water quality violations at the property.

In March 2020, DEQ completed an inspection of the Hoback RV Park and identified liquid wastewater on the ground in the northern portion of the Hoback RV Park septic system leach field. DEQ also determined that water treatment brine generated from an ion exchange water treatment system was discharging to the subsurface without a permit. A notice of violation was issued to the owners of the park, Crowley Capital, LLC, on July 2, 2020 for violations identified during the inspection.

To correct the violations and bring the facility into compliance, Crowley Capital, LLC immediately posted signage and fencing in the area of the surfacing sewage to prevent residents from coming in contact with the wastewater, and they subsequently addressed operation of the septic system such that sewage is no longer surfacing. Crowley Capital, LLC also immediately ceased the unpermitted water treatment brine discharge and connected the discharge line to a permitted holding tank.

The violations also caused the eviction of a number of longterm tenants. In November 2020, tenants at the park were notified their leases would expire Dec. 31, 2020, due to the new septic system capacity. Tenants were given the option to sign a one-time lease at the Virginian, expiring April 30, 2021.

Tenants were give about a months notice that their leases would expire back in December 2020 due to the septic system capacity. Photo: Nick Sulzer // Buckrail

According to DEQ, Crowley Capital, LLC is currently working to investigate groundwater quality in the Hoback RV Park area to determine whether impacts to groundwater and existing water wells may have occurred from the illegal discharge of brine.

In addition to Crowley Capital, LLC spending over $100,000 on corrective actions to address the violations, the settlement agreement invests nearly $300,000 into additional water quality protection and restoration activities within the area, according to a release by DEQ.

“The owners of Hoback RV Park addressed the necessary actions immediately upon receipt of the notice of violation and have worked collaboratively with DEQ and Teton County to address the violations,” Lily Barkau, DEQ groundwater section manager, said.

Crowley Capital, LLC has also agreed to fund a Supplemental Environmental Project in the Hoback Junction Area, which includes working with residents, Teton County, Teton Conservation District, Wyoming Water Development Commission, and DEQ to create and operate a water and sewer district and to fund a Water Development Level II study to evaluate the feasibility of constructing a public water system for the area.

Although DEQ helps oversee the program, the rule’s enforcement falls to DPHHS. Ebelt said the deadline was set before the pandemic and covid slowed that work for many schools.

He said a total of 308 schools had submitted an inventory of their buildings’ plumbing fixtures and more samples had been coming in. As of Feb. 28, 293 schools had provided samples. Not all results have been posted.

“We plan to be flexible with the deadline and will continue to work with schools,” Ebelt said.

Classroom and bathroom sinks were more likely than any other type of fixture to have high levels of lead. Of all the drinking fountains tested, 20% tested high enough to need flushing or get turned off, according to state environmental officials. Schools don’t have a deadline to make repairs, though some have taken anything whose water tested over 5 ppb out of service.

Nationwide, no one has tracked how many lead pipes deliver water to homes, schools, and businesses, let alone tested every faucet for traces of the neurotoxin. At least seven states — California, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Virginia — require school districts to test for lead and report elevated levels to parents, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
