Maritime environment health risks related to pathogenic microorganisms in seawater

Heat-Related Health Risks

185 The relationship between human health and stressful weather is a complex medical, social, and environmental issue (Figure 1). Futureclimate scenarios suggest that higher global mean temperatures could result in marked changes in the frequency of temperature extremes (1). Software developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2) can be used to estimate changes in the prob...

Carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks of arsenic exposure in drinking water in the rural environment

Carcinogenic and systemic health effects of arsenic exposure in drinking water are well documented. This study estimated the risk associated with chronic consumption of water with high concentrations of arsenic in children and adults living in six Andean locations, in Chile. Concentrations of arsenic in the drinking water were analyzed between 2014 and 2017 based on health authority reports and...

Aptamers against pathogenic microorganisms

An important current issue of modern molecular medicine and biotechnology is the search for new approaches to early diagnostic assays and adequate therapy of infectious diseases. One of the promising solutions to this problem might be a development of nucleic acid aptamers capable of interacting specifically with bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. Such aptamers can be used for the specific recogn...

A Close Scrutiny of Global Maritime Distress System in Maritime Environment

Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) is one of the best and most efficient systems for emergency. The systems have been developed to provide mariners global communications and locating network. This system includes land stations for all INMARSAT services to reporting at sea, and so far using this communication system, in marine emergency situations has helped rescue thousands of lives...
