Too much or too little fluoride can be harmful to humans and the environment. In the US the maximum amount of fluoride in drinking water is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, recently the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published “U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) Recommendation for Fluoride Concentration in Drinking Water for the Prevention of Dental Caries” which recommends lower levels than previous recommendations. The US government now recommends a fluoride concentration of 0.7 mg/L (parts per million, ppm) to maintain caries prevention benefits and reduce the risk of dental fluorosis. Thermo Scientific Orion offers Orion Fluoride ISE and Reagent Kits which enable you to easily comply with both standards.

Lake Malawi: A Treasure to Protect
Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.

Aquatic ecosystems are incredibly complex, with many different biotic and abiotic factors constantly interacting. Microbial communities are a key part of aquatic ecosystems, involved in the constant flow of energy and recycling of organic matter, according to Science Direct . The true scope of microbial community impacts on aquatic ecosystems is still not entirely understood. Eric Benbow, a professor of community ecology at Michigan State University, is exploring how microbial communities and pathogens may be negatively impacting human health, and how a changing climate could worsen this problem. 
 How Do Pathogens Arise? 
 Benbow, along with his students and colleagues, are studying a realm of community ecology that is still relatively unknown.
