Soon California will monitor #microplastics in #drinkingWater and inform consumers. Law requires @CaWaterBoards evaluate #humanHealth risks and consider developing a numerical guidance level.

We convened an expert workshop to inform the state.

We started by scraping the literature for toxicity studies. Of the >220 studies, 74 were relevant for humans. We focused on in vivo studies (n = 41) due to the lack of a framework for quantitative assessing in vitro particle toxicity data.

@todd_gouin et al. screened each study for relevance and reliability for understanding impacts. No single study met all criteria, so a subset was selected as being absolutely critical for evaluation (red criteria).
Most studies did not use enough doses to pass criteria.

Critiquing constructively with a hope
Highlighting natural & human-induced challenges, & related problems of a region like North #Bihar, linking them with critical #drinkingwater & #sanitation schemes is with the intent of sustenance

Moving from a rural piped-water coverage of 1.84% households (hhs) to 86.96% hhs in 2 years is DEFINITELY an accomplishment of the Govt. of Bihar. THEREFORE, must be TOLD, CELEBRATED, ITERATED all across.

However, should we NOT sensitively reflect for the sake of the future?
Big numbers convey a message of positivity,faith,advancement, AND importantly of hope&security, far more than mere 'pipe' & 'water'. The scheme's influence is beyond our imagination. Hence, we must visualize the impact when the scheme falls short due to reasons known & unknown.
