Sewage Works for Water Pollution Control

Mercury pollution from irrigation with treated sewage water (TSW).

The lack of potable water in arid countries leads to the use of treated sewage water (TSW) for crop growth. Mercury accumulation (up to 500 ng/g) in agricultural soil originating from daily irrigation with TSW was found at two sites fed separately from a hospital sewage plant and an industrial plant. A control site irrigated with potable water ([Hg] <0.01 ng/ml) had much reduced levels in soil ...

The Gm and In V allotypes of serum are inherited in Mendelian fashion and their existence imposes important constraints on current theories of immunoglobulin synthesis. The incidences of particular factors vary markedly with different population groups, a fact of anthropological interest. In medico-legal investigations allotypes can aid in cases of disputed parentage (both paternal and maternal...

An Expansion Program for the Anderson Sewage-Treatment Works

The plant has a designed capacity of 8 m.g.d., using the Guggenheim biochemical proc...
