Can Sanitary Inspection Surveys Predict Risk of Microbiological Contamination of Groundwater Sources? Evidence from Shallow Tubewells in Rural Bangladesh
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 96(3), 561–568.
MeSH headings : Bangladesh; Colony Count, Microbial; Drinking Water / microbiology; Environmental Monitoring; Escherichia coli / isolation & purification; Feces / microbiology; Food Contamination; Food Inspection / standards; Food Microbiology; Groundwater / microbiology; Risk Factors; Rural Population; Seasons; Surveys and Questionnaires; Water Microbiology; Water Quality / standards; Water Wells
TL;DR:
Observed characteristics of a tubewell, as measured by sanitary inspections in their current form, do not sufficiently characterize microbiological water quality,As measured by E. coli, and the dominant contamination route for shallow groundwater sources is short-circuiting at the wellhead rather than subsurface transport.

Acute Illness Among Surfers After Exposure to Seawater in Dry- and Wet-Weather Conditions
American Journal of Epidemiology, 186(7), 866–875.
Contributors: A. Ercumen*
author keywords: diarrhea; Enterococcus; rain; seawater; waterborne diseases; wound infection
MeSH headings : Adult; California / epidemiology; Earache / epidemiology; Enterobacteriaceae / isolation & purification; Enterococcus / isolation & purification; Environmental Monitoring; Feces / microbiology; Female; Gastrointestinal Diseases / epidemiology; Humans; Incidence; Infections / epidemiology; Longitudinal Studies; Male; Middle Aged; Rain; Seawater / microbiology; Sports; Weather; Young Adult
TL;DR:
Urban coastal seawater exposure increases the incidence rates of many acute illnesses among surfers, with higher incidence rates after rainstorms, and fecal indicator bacteria measured in seawater were strongly associated with incident illness only during wet weather.

Preference Heterogeneity in the Structural Estimation of Efficient Pigovian Incentives for Insecticide Spraying to Reduce Malaria
Environmental and Resource Economics, 70(1), 169–190.
author keywords: Discrete choice models; Preference heterogeneity; Externalities; Pigovian incentives; Malaria; Insecticides; Locational sorting models
TL;DR:
The theoretical structure similar to locational sorting models, which characterize equilibria in terms of marginal individuals who are indifferent between locations, is used and can be applied to other bioeconomic externalities with spillovers from discrete preventative actions, including agricultural pest management and the control of pest infestations and invasive species.
