"When bloodstream infections set in, fast treatment is crucial — but it can take several days to identify the bacteria responsible. A new, rapid-diagnosis sepsis test could cut down on the wait, reducing testing time from as much as a few days to about 13 hours by cutting out a lengthy blood culturing step, researchers report July 24 [2024] in Nature.
“They are pushing the limits of rapid diagnostics for bloodstream infections,” says Pak Kin Wong, a biomedical engineer at Penn State who was not involved in the research. “They are driving toward a direction that will dramatically improve the clinical management of bloodstream infections and sepsis.”
Sepsis — an immune system overreaction to an infection — is a life-threatening condition that strikes nearly 2 million people per year in the United States, killing more than 250,000 (SN: 5/18/08). The condition can also progress to septic shock, a steep drop in blood pressure that damages the kidneys, lungs, liver and other organs. It can be caused by a broad range of different bacteria, making species identification key for personalized treatment of each patient.
In conventional sepsis testing, the blood collected from the patient must first go through a daylong blood culturing step to grow more bacteria for detection. The sample then goes through a second culture for purification before undergoing testing to find the best treatment. During the two to three days required for testing, patients are placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics — a blunt tool designed to stave off a mystery infection that’s better treated by targeted antibiotics after figuring out the specific bacteria causing the infection.
Nanoengineer Tae Hyun Kim and colleagues found a way around the initial 24-hour blood culture.
The workaround starts by injecting a blood sample with nanoparticles decorated with a peptide designed to bind to a wide range of blood-borne pathogens. Magnets then pull out the nanoparticles, and the bound pathogens come with them. Those bacteria are sent directly to the pure culture. Thanks to this binding and sorting process, the bacteria can grow faster without extraneous components in the sample, like blood cells and the previously given broad-spectrum antibiotics, says Kim, of Seoul National University in South Korea.
Cutting out the initial blood culturing step also relies on a new imaging algorithm, Kim says. To test bacteria’s susceptibility to antibiotics, both are placed in the same environment, and scientists observe if and how the antibiotics stunt the bacteria’s growth or kill them. The team’s image detection algorithm can detect subtler changes than the human eye can. So it can identify the species and antibiotic susceptibility with far fewer bacteria cells than the conventional method, thereby reducing the need for long culture times to produce larger colonies.
Though the new method shows promise, Wong says, any new test carries a risk of false negatives, missing bacteria that are actually present in the bloodstream. That in turn can lead to not treating an active infection, and “undertreatment of bloodstream infection can be fatal,” he says. “While the classical blood culture technique is extremely slow, it is very effective in avoiding false negatives.”
Following their laboratory-based experiments, Kim and colleagues tested their new method clinically, running it in parallel with conventional sepsis testing on 190 hospital patients with suspected infections. The testing obtained a 100 percent match on correct bacterial species identification, the team reports. Though more clinical tests are needed, these accuracy results are encouraging so far, Kim says.
The team is continuing to refine their design in hopes of developing a fully automated sepsis blood test that can quickly produce results, even when hospital laboratories are closed overnight. “We really wanted to commercialize this and really make it happen so that we could make impacts to the patients,” Kim says."

We need more ERP
(enterprise resource planning)
Mmm, says here that's not in the budget.
Maybe if you have some better funding, we can discuss a 'partnership'. Consider a corporate 'incorporation' into my systems, you could say. Design an 'infiltration' into your markets.
Want more into the engineering side of project management? Lets engineer a pipe to your septic system in a timely manner. Think about pumps it'll take to fulfill your demand. Maybe consider piping this system in parallel, no?

Greetings and Salutations from the Middle of Nowhere
I know it has been a while, this is the first time I have been able to get on line. Have to use wifi right now so limited in time I have on line
Update on our home sale and purchase of new place:
A young couple with a pre-teen boy, purchased our old house. And since (so I have been told and confirmed with my own eyes) has proceeded in cutting down all the trees, the Saskatoon blueberry bush, pulled the table and Oregon grapes out and cut out all the blackberry vines back to the property line. They also have 3 cars in the old garden area sitting on blocks. The old neighbors have told us they want us to move back. Sorry, not happening.
Regarding our new place; we have a larger place. It is a mix or basalt, jack pines in sandy soil and some really nice soil. Put in 500ft of driveway (cutting trees, pulling stumps and dragging the "road"). Now the power company will come out and give us a bid to bring in the power (less than a quarter mile from nearest transformer).
Did have a bid from a well driller, but they wanted the driveway in first, now they are not answering their phones. So we are contacting a different driller tomorrow.
Telephone company wont put in a land line. since we are "too far away from the main road". 1 mile long private road, that nearly everyone on the road wants to have a land line due to spotty cell service (closest towers are over 25 miles, as the crow flies, away, with a few hills inbetween as well. Closest telephone pole to my place is a little over 1/4 mile as the crow flies, and found out the telephone company does have legal right-away up to my property line, coming from the East across country.
The previous owners refuse to release the perk test they had done or the name of the engineer they had do test and septic design. Since no permit for a septic system was ever requested, the County doesn't have a copy of the test, engineer name or septic plan. So we are going to have to have that redone.
And finally, the Post Master refuses to accept the address the county gave us for the property for mail delivery until (in his words) "There is a proper house with a foundation on the property and he has confirmed it with his own eyes." Despite the fact the address has been accepted and used by both State and Federal offices. And in this state a tent or camp trailer is considered a legal residence if placed on your legally owned property. So we are getting our mail delivered to our daughter's place, 35 miles away.
Despite all of that, we are having the time of our lives out on our new property. Enjoying the wildlife and the peace and quiet of being out there. Laying out the food plots for the deer. Using the native basalt to build the raised garden beds. We have even started digging the trenched for the root cellar and fuel storage sheds. And not a day goes by when I don't see wild turkeys or a deer on the property. Did miss seeing the black bear that came through, running from the wildfire on the other side of the river, we was in town getting supplies.
Well that is all for now. I wish you all peace, happiness and a great upcoming week. Be safe and take care.

Unlocking the Importance of Commercial Land Capability Assessments with Expert LCA Services
When it comes to land development, particularly in commercial settings, understanding the suitability of a site before any construction begins is crucial. This is where Commercial Land Capability Assessments (LCA) come into play. These assessments determine whether a particular piece of land is capable of supporting a proposed use — especially when it involves onsite wastewater treatment systems.

At Septic Land Capability Assessment, we specialize in providing detailed and accurate LCA Services for a wide range of commercial projects. Our goal is to help developers, engineers, and local councils make informed decisions that ensure environmental compliance, public health, and long-term project sustainability.
What Is a Commercial Land Capability Assessment?
A Commercial Land Capability Assessment is a scientific study that evaluates the characteristics of a land parcel to determine its ability to handle wastewater through onsite septic systems. These assessments are a legal requirement in many jurisdictions, especially for developments not connected to central sewage systems.
The assessment typically includes:
Soil testing and analysis
Site slope and drainage review
Assessment of groundwater and surface water
Analysis of vegetation and climate data
Recommendations for septic system design and location
The findings of an LCA guide the design and installation of appropriate onsite wastewater systems while ensuring the project aligns with environmental and public health standards.
Why Are LCA Services Critical for Commercial Projects?
While residential LCAs are important, the stakes are significantly higher in commercial settings. Commercial developments such as offices, restaurants, industrial parks, and retail outlets often have higher and more variable wastewater output, making proper site assessment non-negotiable.
Here’s why investing in expert LCA Services is essential:

Occupational Infectious Disease: Legionnaires’ Disease in the Oil and Gas Industry
Legionnaires’ disease is a serious lung infection caused by Legionella bacteria, which thrive in water systems, especially in industrial settings. This disease is a significant concern in the oil and gas industry, where large water systems, cooling towers, and HVAC units create the perfect conditions for bacterial growth. Given the nature of operations in companies like Saudi Aramco, where water systems are widely used for cooling and processing, the risk of Legionella contamination is a major occupational health concern.
Causes, Mode of Transmission, and Symptoms
Legionnaires’ disease is caused by Legionella pneumophila, a bacterium that multiplies in warm, stagnant water. It is commonly found in cooling towers, water storage tanks, and industrial water systems, all of which are widely used in oil and gas refineries. The bacteria become a health hazard when tiny water droplets containing Legionella get into the air and are inhaled.
Transmission happens through inhaling contaminated aerosols, not from person to person. In industrial settings, workers are at risk when they perform maintenance on HVAC systems, cooling towers, or water tanks, as these activities may generate contaminated mist.
The symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease are similar to severe pneumonia. They include fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, and headaches. In serious cases, it can cause lung failure or septic shock, particularly in workers with weakened immune systems or pre-existing respiratory conditions. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics are crucial to preventing complications.
Occupational Groups at Risk
Certain job roles in the oil and gas industry are at a higher risk of Legionnaires’ disease due to their frequent exposure to water systems. These include:
Maintenance and HVAC Technicians: These workers handle and maintain cooling towers, water storage tanks, and HVAC systems, increasing their exposure to potential bacterial contamination.
Oil Refinery Operators: Employees who work around water-cooled equipment are at risk due to the possibility of inhaling contaminated aerosols.
HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) Officers: Though their job is to ensure workplace safety, they might be exposed when conducting inspections or water system quality assessments in potentially contaminated areas.
Contractors and Plumbers: Workers who install or repair industrial plumbing systems that involve standing water also face exposure risks.
Prevention and Control Measures
Because of the risks associated with Legionnaires’ disease, companies like Saudi Aramco have strong occupational health and safety programs in place. Some of the most effective prevention and control measures include:
Water System Management: Regular cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance of cooling towers, water tanks, and HVAC systems help prevent Legionella growth. Saudi Aramco follows strict guidelines to monitor water quality and temperature, as the bacteria multiply in warm water (25-45°C).
Risk Assessments and Monitoring: Routine water testing and microbial analysis help detect bacterial contamination early. Continuous monitoring ensures that any issues are identified and fixed before they become serious health risks.
Engineering Controls: Automated disinfection systems, such as chlorination and ultraviolet (UV) treatment, help eliminate Legionella in industrial water systems. Additionally, improving water system designs to reduce stagnation and ensure a steady flow helps prevent bacterial growth.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Workers handling water systems should wear PPE, such as respirators, gloves, and protective eyewear, to reduce exposure to airborne bacteria.
Employee Training and Awareness: Educating workers about the risks of Legionnaires’ disease, safe water system handling, and early symptom recognition is crucial. Awareness campaigns emphasize the importance of reporting any potential hazards to management.
Conclusion
Legionnaires’ disease is a serious occupational health risk in the oil and gas industry, particularly in facilities that rely on large-scale water systems for cooling and processing. Workers involved in maintenance, water treatment, and HVAC system operations are most at risk. By understanding its causes, transmission, and impact on occupational health, companies like Saudi Aramco can take proactive steps to reduce risks. Strict water system management, regular monitoring, engineering controls, PPE, and employee education play a vital role in minimizing outbreaks. Protecting workers from infectious diseases is essential in maintaining a safe and efficient workplace in the oil and gas industry.

Understanding the Perk Test: A Key Step in Septic System Installation
If you’re planning to build a home or install a septic system in a rural or undeveloped area, you may need to conduct a perk test before construction begins. Short for "percolation test," this soil evaluation determines how well the ground absorbs water, which is crucial for designing an effective septic system.
Failing to conduct a perk test could lead to costly delays, environmental hazards, and even legal issues. In this article, we’ll explore what a perk test is, why it’s necessary, how it’s performed, and what the results mean for your project.
What Is a Perk Test?
A perk test measures how quickly water drains through soil. This test is especially important when installing a septic system, as the soil must be able to absorb and filter wastewater efficiently. The results help engineers determine the appropriate size and design of the drainage field.
If the soil doesn’t drain well, wastewater may not be properly absorbed, leading to standing water, sewage backups, and contamination of nearby water sources. Conversely, if the soil drains too quickly, it may not effectively filter contaminants, posing a health risk.
Why Is a Perk Test Necessary?
1. Required for Septic System Installation
Many local and state health departments require aperk test before approving a septic system installation. Without this test, you may not be granted a permit to proceed with construction.
2. Prevents Costly Mistakes
A failed perk test could mean you need an alternative wastewater treatment solution, which can be expensive. Knowing the soil's drainage capability early in the planning phase helps avoid unnecessary costs.
3. Protects the Environment
Proper wastewater absorption prevents contamination of groundwater and nearby water bodies. Aperk test ensures that your septic system functions safely and does not pose environmental hazards.
4. Helps in Land Purchasing Decisions
If you’re buying land to build a home, a perk test can determine whether the property is suitable for a septic system. A failed test could make the land unusable for residential purposes unless an alternative waste treatment method is available.
How Is a Perk Test Conducted?
A perk test is typically performed by a licensed engineer, soil scientist, or septic system contractor. The process involves the following steps:
1. Site Selection
The professional conducting the test will choose a location where the septic drain field is likely to be installed.
2. Digging Test Holes
Several holes, typically 6-12 inches wide and 2-3 feet deep, are dug in the test area. The number of holes depends on local regulations and the size of the proposed septic system.
3. Saturating the Soil
Water is poured into the holes to saturate the soil, mimicking the conditions of an active septic system. This step may be repeated several times to ensure accuracy.
4. Measuring Percolation Rate
The rate at which water drains from the test holes is measured in minutes per inch. This indicates how quickly the soil can absorb water and determines whether it meets the required standards for a septic system.
Interpreting Perk Test Results
Good Drainage (1-30 minutes per inch): The soil is well-suited for a standard septic system.
Moderate Drainage (30-60 minutes per inch): The soil may require a larger drain field or alternative septic system design.
Poor Drainage (More than 60 minutes per inch): The soil is not suitable for a traditional septic system, and additional engineering solutions may be needed.
If a perk test fails, options include installing a mound system, using an aerobic treatment unit, or improving soil conditions with engineered fill.
Conclusion
A perk test is a vital step in ensuring the success of a septic system installation. Whether you’re purchasing land, building a home, or replacing an existing system, this test helps prevent costly mistakes and environmental hazards.
Before starting your project, check local regulations and consult with a licensed professional to perform a perk test and interpret the results. Proper planning will save you time, money, and future headaches.

Water and Sanitation Engineering
Water and sanitation engineering is a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, impacting every aspect of human life. Whether in urban cities or remote rural areas, access to clean water and effective sanitation systems is essential for public health, economic development, and environmental sustainability. The discipline combines various engineering practices, technologies, and policy frameworks to design, implement, and manage systems that deliver safe water, treat wastewater, and protect the environment. As the world faces challenges like climate change, population growth, and urbanization, the field of water and sanitation engineering has never been more critical.
The Importance of Water and Sanitation Engineering
At its core, water and sanitation engineering focuses on ensuring that everyone, regardless of location, has access to clean water and efficient waste disposal systems. This goes beyond merely providing water and sewage services—it encompasses everything from water resource management to infrastructure maintenance and pollution control.
Public Health: The primary purpose of water and sanitation engineering is to protect public health. Access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation reduces the spread of waterborne diseases like cholera, dysentery, and typhoid, which are still prevalent in many parts of the world. Proper sanitation systems also prevent contamination of surface and groundwater, which can cause long-term health problems for entire communities.
Economic Development: Reliable water and sanitation systems are vital for the functioning of economies. Businesses, industries, and agriculture all depend on access to water, while clean water and proper waste management contribute to productivity and a healthy workforce. Inadequate water supply and sanitation can lead to economic losses due to poor health, increased healthcare costs, and reduced productivity.
Environmental Protection: Effective wastewater treatment is crucial for protecting ecosystems. Untreated sewage and industrial waste can pollute rivers, lakes, and oceans, harming aquatic life and threatening biodiversity. Water and sanitation engineers must design systems that balance human needs with environmental stewardship.
Key Technologies and Solutions in Water and Sanitation Engineering
Water and sanitation engineering spans a wide range of technologies and approaches, tailored to meet specific needs based on geography, climate, population density, and economic context. Below are some of the key solutions in the field:
1. Water Supply Systems
Water supply systems are designed to source, treat, and distribute potable water to households and industries. Some common technologies include:
Surface Water Treatment: This involves sourcing water from rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, which is then treated through processes like filtration, coagulation, and disinfection to remove contaminants.
Groundwater Supply: In areas where surface water is scarce, groundwater is extracted using wells and pumps. Groundwater treatment often involves filtration and disinfection.
Desalination: For coastal regions where freshwater resources are limited, desalination technologies (like reverse osmosis) convert seawater into potable water.
Rainwater Harvesting: In areas with irregular rainfall patterns, rainwater harvesting allows households and communities to collect and store rainwater for drinking and other uses.
2. Sanitation and Wastewater Treatment
Sanitation systems focus on safely collecting, transporting, and treating wastewater to prevent contamination of the environment. Key technologies include:
Septic Systems: These decentralized systems treat wastewater onsite and are often used in rural areas or places with low population density. Wastewater is treated in a tank and the effluent is safely filtered into the surrounding soil.
Centralized Sewer Systems: In urban areas, centralized sewage treatment plants collect wastewater from households and industries, which is then treated in multi-stage processes involving primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment (e.g., biological treatment, chemical disinfection, and filtration).
Wastewater Reuse: In water-scarce regions, treated wastewater is increasingly being reused for irrigation, industrial processes, or even potable water through advanced treatment systems like reverse osmosis and UV disinfection.
3. Solid Waste Management
Water and sanitation engineering also includes the management of solid waste, especially in urban settings. Proper waste collection, transportation, and disposal are essential to prevent contamination of water sources and reduce the environmental footprint of waste.
Landfills and Composting: Solid waste is often sent to landfills, where it is contained and managed to avoid leaching into groundwater. Organic waste can also be composted for use in agriculture.
Waste-to-Energy: Some advanced systems use municipal solid waste to generate energy, reducing the environmental impact of landfills while providing an alternative energy source.
Innovations Shaping the Future of Water and Sanitation Engineering
Innovation plays a crucial role in solving the global water and sanitation crisis. Some of the exciting new trends in the field include:
Smart Water Systems: The use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and data analytics to monitor and manage water usage, detect leaks, and optimize water distribution in real-time.
Decentralized Treatment: Small-scale, community-based water and sanitation solutions that allow for more localized management and reduce the need for large-scale infrastructure investments.
Nanotechnology and Filtration: New materials and filtration technologies that improve water purification, making it more efficient and affordable, especially in rural areas or disaster-prone regions.
Water-Energy Nexus: Integrating water treatment and energy production to reduce costs and environmental impacts, such as using biogas from wastewater treatment plants to generate electricity.
Conclusion
Water and sanitation engineering is a vital field that directly impacts the health, environment, and economic prosperity of communities worldwide. From providing clean drinking water to managing wastewater, this discipline encompasses a wide range of technologies and approaches aimed at ensuring sustainable and equitable access to water and sanitation services.
