Objective Alcohol consumption and being male are drowning risk factors. Changing beliefs intentions to undertake risky aquatic-related behaviours, such as consuming alcohol, is key reducing loss of life injury. We evaluated the impact a video encouraging change in young males’ social cognitions discourage their mates well own alcohol around water.Method A three-wave non-controlled pre-test-post...

We report 13 cases of Naegleria fowleri primary amebic meningoencephalitis in persons in Karachi, Pakistan, who had no history of aquatic activities. Infection likely occurred through ablution with tap water. An increase in primary amebic meningoencephalitis cases may be attributed to rising temperatures, reduced levels of chlorine in potable water, or deteriorating water distribution systems.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has a broad range of habitation, from aquatic environments to human lungs. The coexistence of quorum-sensing and quorum-quenching activities occurs in P. aeruginosa strain MW3a. In this work, we present the draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa MW3a, an interesting bacterium isolated from a marine environment.

Our research goal is to monitor the water pollution and aquatic plants in the coastal lagoon environments using satellite data. This time, our past activities concerning some satellite study project and the preliminary result of ALOS/AVNIR-2 analysis in coastal lagoon such as Lakes Shinji and Nakaumi are introduced.

128 Semi-aquatic wildlife species have been important sentinels of environmental health and remain important biomonitors concerning emerging contaminant issues. The semi-aquatic wildlife of the Laurentian Great Lakes (LGL) has led the way in this regard and continues to do so. This is because the LGL and associated land mass possess a set of unique characteristics that make it an ideal laborato...

wetlands are often considered sinks for contaminants, and aquatic plants have been shown to play important roles in wetland biogeochemistry through their active and passive circulation of elements. in this research, in order to evaluate the concentration level of heavy metals released by the urban, industrial and agricultural activities at the margin of the rivers flowing into anzali lagoon, as...

Wastewaters from various industries are a main source of the contaminants in aquatic environments. The authors evaluated the hormonal activities (estrogenic/anti-estrogenic activities, androgenic/anti-androgenic activities) and genotoxicity of various effluents from textile and dyeing plants, electronic and electroplate factories, pulp and paper mills, fine chemical factories, and municipal was...

most minerals, occurring in aqueous environments, play a key role in the survival rate of aquatic living organisms. however, life situation of the living organisms would be under attack when the contents of these elements exceed than the specified limit because of various reasons (amini ranjbar, 1994). bioaccumulation of the elements in living organisms and their excess concentration than stand...
