    • The WASH Sector Development Plan (2011–2025) recognizes the absence of harmonized approaches as the root challenge to scaling up drinking water safety in Bangladesh. UNICEF is supporting the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) through the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) and Policy Support Branch to re-engineer its approach to drinking water safety by integrating policy, systems strengthening & sustainable services delivery at national and sub-national levels. Some of the key contributions to the sector include the implementation of the UNICEF-DPHE Arsenic Safe Union model with the declaration of 106 Arsenic Safe Villages, reduction in arsenic contamination rates of new tubewells, a system for preventing elite capture of water points, and the adoption of the ASU model in a $240 million arsenic mitigation drinking water project using domestic resources. Relatedly, a Policy Support Branch has been established, the sector coordination mechanisms revised, WASH bottleneck analysis is ongoing & the National Implementation Plan on Arsenic has been reviewed: Next steps include the professionalisation of drilling by local drillers through a partnership with KTH, Sweden, the GoB and UNICEF.

  • Wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Bangladesh : Opportunities and challenges
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: CURRENT OPINION IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & HEALTH. - : Elsevier BV. - 2468-5844. ; 27, s. 100334-

    • The ongoing pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a public health crisis of global concern. The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic has been monitored in the first place by testing symptomatic individuals for SARS-CoV-2 virus in the respiratory samples. Concurrently, wastewater carries feces, urine, and sputum that potentially contains SARS-CoV-2 intact virus or partially damaged viral genetic materials excreted by infected individuals. This brings significant opportunities for understanding the infection dynamics by environmental surveillance. It has advantages for the country, especially in densely populated areas where individual clinical testing is difficult. However, there are several challenges including: 1) establishing a sampling plan and schedule that is representative of the various catchment populations 2) development and validation of standardized protocols for the laboratory analysis 3) understanding hydraulic flows and virus transport in complex wastewater drainage systems and 4) collaborative efforts from government agencies, NGOs, public health units and academia.

  • Characterization of lignin and hemicellulose degrading bacteria isolated from cow rumen and forest soil : Unveiling a novel enzymatic model for rice straw deconstruction
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Science of the Total Environment. - : Elsevier BV. - 0048-9697 .- 1879-1026. ; 904

    • Application of greener pretreatment technology using robust ligninolytic bacteria for short duration to deconstruct rice straw and enhance bioethanol production is currently lacking. The objective of this study is to characterize three bacterial strains isolated from the milieux of cow rumen and forest soil and explore their capabilities of breaking down lignocellulose – an essential process in bioethanol production. Using biochemical and genomic analyses these strains were identified as Bacillus sp. HSTU-bmb18, Bacillus sp. HSTU-bmb19, and Citrobacter sp. HSTU-bmb20. Genomic analysis of the strains unveiled validated model hemicellulases, multicopper oxidases, and pectate lyases. These enzymes exhibited interactions with distinct lignocellulose substrates, further affirmed by their stability in molecular dynamic simulations. A comprehensive expression of ligninolytic pathways, including β-ketoadipate, phenyl acetate, and benzoate, was observed within the HSTU-bmb20 genome. The strains secreted approximately 75–82 U/mL of cellulase, xylase, pectinase, and lignin peroxidase. FT-IR analysis of the bacterial treated rice straw fibers revealed that the intensity of lignin-related peaks decreased, while cellulose-related peaks sharpened. The values of crystallinity index for the untreated control and the treated rice straw with either HSTU-bmb18, or HSTU-bmb19, or HSTU-bmb20 were recorded to be 34.48, 28.49, 29.36, 31.75, respectively, which are much higher than that of 13.53 noted for those treated with the bacterial consortium. The ratio of fermentable cellulose in rice straw increased by 1.25-, 1.79-, 1.93- and 2.17-fold following treatments with HSTU-bmb18, HSTU-bmb20, HSTU-bmb19, and a mixed consortium of these three strains, respectively. These aggregative results suggested a novel model for rice straw deconstruction utilizing hydrolytic enzymes of the consortium, revealing superior efficacy compared to individual strains, and advancing cost-effective, affordable, and sustainable green technology.
