SATOH-KAZAMA LABORATORY

Microbial ecology, sewer processes, and sustainable water and wastewater management

RESEARCH ITEMS

Further improvement of public health is desired because of a great concern about infectious diseases over the recent years. Monitoring and safety assessment of various pathogens in water environment, water supply and sewerage systems will be necessary going forward.

We are studying on microbial safety assessment in water environment and water supply and sewerage systems, and wastewater-based epidemiology targeting enteric viruses. The development such as comprehensive detection methods of pathogens and indicators of microbial contamination is one of the objectives in our studies. We are also working on water and sanitation problems in developing countries. Case studies, e.g., monitoring microbial contamination in groundwater and evaluation of water treatment systems, are carrying out to improve the water supply systems in the countries.

感染症に対して関心が高まる中、公衆衛生のさらなる向上が期待されています。今後、上下水道システムや水環境においては、多様な病原微生物の監視や安全性評価が求められるでしょう。そこで、上下水道システムや水環境における微生物学的安全性に関する研究、下水中ヒト腸管系ウイルス検出による疫学的調査など、都市における公衆衛生の向上を目指して研究しています。そのための要素技術として病原微生物の網羅的検出手法や微生物汚染指標などの開発を行っています。また、途上国における水と衛生問題の解決に向け、地下水汚染調査や水処理技術の安全性評価のためのケーススタディを行い、水供給システム改善に向けた提案も行っています。
