Water safety attitudes, risk perception, experiences, and education for households impacted by the 2018 Camp Fire, California
The 2018 Camp Fire in Butte County, California, was the state’s most destructive wildfire in history, destroying more than 14,600 homes. The wildfire caused widespread drinking water system chemical…
Pentachlorophenol has significant adverse effects on hematopoietic and immune system development in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
TLDR
Results suggest that PCP has a previously underappreciated effect on blood and immune cell development and future studies should be performed to determine the molecular mechanisms involved.

Fire and Water: Assessing Drinking Water Contamination After a Major Wildfire
TLDR
The hypothesis that pyrolysis and smoke intrusion from depressurization contributed to the benzene contamination supported the hypothesis that methylene chloride may be generated from the dehalogenation of disinfection byproducts stagnating in galvanized iron pipes.

Numerical Model for Decontamination of Organic Contaminants in Polyethylene Drinking Water Pipes in Premise Plumbing by Flushing.
TLDR
Results suggest that for premise plumbing materials typically used for indoor drinking water applications, contaminated polyethylene tubing can be resistant to decontamination by flushing, possibly requiring days of continuous flushing to achieve contaminant removal to below regulatory levels.
Releases of Fire-Derived Contaminants from Polymer Pipes Made of Polyvinyl Chloride
TLDR
Analysis of PVC pipe leachates shows that there are 40–60 tentatively identified compounds, mostly long-chain hydrocarbons, were released when the burned PVC materials were soaked in deionized water for one week, which has significant implications for understanding the benzene contamination of drinking water in the aftermath of wildfires.
