Waterborne contaminants pose a significant risk to water quality and plant health in agricultural systems. This is particularly the case for relatively small-scale but intensive agricultural operations such as plant production nurseries that often rely on recycled irrigation water. The increasing global demand for plants requires improved water quality and more certainty around water availability, which may be difficult to predict and deliver due to variable and changing climate regimes.

- - The study examined anal cancer screening practices among high-risk populations, including people living with HIV, those with HPV-related issues, and organ transplant recipients, using clinical data from an academic medical system between 2015 and 2022.
- - Results showed that only 6.3% of the 7,654 patients had anal cytology screening, with significantly lower rates among women and Black patients, who were 73% and 46% less likely to be screened respectively.
- - The findings highlight the need for improved and equitable screening strategies, as only 21.7% of people living with HIV received screening, while other high-risk groups had even lower rates.
