The cause of limb deformities in wild amphibian populations remains unclear, even though the apparent increase in prevalence of this condition may have implications for human health. Few studies have simultaneously assessed the effect of multiple exposures on the risk of limb deformities. In a cross-sectional survey of 5,264 hylid and ranid metamorphs in 42 Vermont wetlands, we assessed indepen...
متن کاملAnthropogenic air pollution sources
What one experiences today as atmosphere is a transient snapshot and result of its evolutionary history. Much of the development and present status was explained based both on scientific knowledge, and combined with established facts, even speculation. The planet Earth was formed around 4600 million years ago by the gravitational accretion of relatively small rocks and dust, within the solar ne...
متن کاملQuantification of Air Pollution Sources
RESUMO – Quantificação de Poluição do Ar – A atividade industrial é uma das principais causas da poluição do ar urbano. Várias técnicas são utilizadas para monitorar e analisar os agentes poluidores. A técnica de modelamento de receptor é uma delas. A aplicação de programação linear para a quantificação de fontes poluidoras do ar, utilizando o modelamento de receptor, é apresentada neste artigo...
