Environmental Health: Threats and their Interactions
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PROVISION OF AN ACCEPTABLE STANDARD OF HEALTH CARE, PARTICULARLY IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD, WILL BE UNDERMINED BY THREE ONGOING PROCESSES: ongoing armed conflicts; the threat of global warming due to rising levels of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide emitted by developed countries; and by rapidly rising populations. The key features of these three threats are summa...
متن کاملFlow fingerprinting fecal pollution and suspended solids in stormwater runoff from an urban coastal watershed.
Field studies were conducted to characterize the concentration vs streamflow relationships (or "flow fingerprints") of fecal pollution and suspended solids in stormwater runoff from the Santa Ana River watershed, the largest watershed in southern California. The concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria and F+ coliphages (viruses infecting E. coli) exhibit little-to-no dependence on streamflow...
متن کاملSimulating nitrate drainage losses from a Walnut Creek watershed field.
This study was designed to evaluate the improved version of the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) using 6 yr (1992-1997) of field-measured data from a field within Walnut Creek watershed located in central Iowa. Measured data included subsurface drainage flows, NO3-N concentrations and loads in subsurface drainage water, and corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine mar (L.) Merr.] yields. Th...
متن کاملUrban environmental health.
In 1983, Karlsson et al. described a genetic polymorphism associated with human urinary high molecular weight glyco-proteins. In this, four components with different mobilities in sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide (SDS PAGE) gels were identified by their reaction with radioiodinated peanut lectin and each individual was found to exhibit one or two bands. Familial studies showed that the fo...
متن کاملCoastal water quality impact of stormwater runoff from an urban watershed in southern California.
Field studies were conducted to assess the coastal water quality impact of stormwater runoff from the Santa Ana River, which drains a large urban watershed located in southern California. Stormwater runoff from the river leads to very poor surf zone water quality, with fecal indicator bacteria concentrations exceeding California ocean bathing water standards by up to 500%. However, cross-shore ...
