"Microplastics have been found in air, soil, wildlife, and human blood and lung tissue, yet studies are just beginning to uncover potential human health effects such as internal inflammation and reproductive effects. One international study found that 80% of drinking water samples from 14 countries across 5 continents had microplastics in them. Based upon these and other findings, and little information on extent of the problem within the state, California became the first government in the worl ... Read More

"The COVID-19 pandemic created a need for rapid, point-of-care testing that was unparalleled in modern times. Within a few months, healthcare centers were closing doors to patients, patients were not comfortable seeking healthcare, and COVID-19 was spreading through communities — all due to the lack of rapid and local testing. As healthcare providers look to the post-pandemic future, there is a need to reflect on how the pandemic impacted health systems in general and point-of-care testing in ... Read More

"Mercury is widespread and persistent in the environment due to its use in many products and its emission from combustion processes. Due to the tendency of mercury to bioaccumulate in the environment, extremely low concentrations can have a large impact. Therefore, accurate measurements at concentrations in sub part per trillion or parts per quadrillion are required. Any measurement of chemicals in that concentration range, especially when so is ubiquitous in the environment, poses significant ... Read More
