Views on the entry of organic pollutants into matter (OM) decaying process are divergent, and in part poorly understood. To clarify these interactions, pesticide dissipation was monitored mineral soils not adapted to contaminants for 241 days; groundwater sediment slurries pesticides 399 their sterilized counterparts with without peat (5%) or compost-peat-sand (CPS, 15%) mixture addition. The r...

This article elucidates that strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IES-Ps-1) is a versatile toxic organic compound degrader. With the degradation of malathion and cypermethrin (studied by other researchers previously), this strain was able to degrade phenol. Two other indigenous soil flora (i.e., Pseudomonas sp. (IES-S) and Bacillus subtilis (IES-B)) were also found to be potential phenol degraders. P...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term changes in bone density profile among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. patients and methods: this was a 5 year prospective study comprised of thirty-one survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a mean age of 11.8 (4.6) years, who completed therapy at least 1 year previously (according to the all-...

Formaldehyde (FA) is an extremely active compound that widely used in numerous applications. Given FA a known carcinogen, it essential to remove from the environment. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), due its special physicochemical properties, promising adsorbent for removal of specific organic compounds aqueous solutions. In this study, interaction TiO2 with presence and absence quartz sand, most comm...

––Estimating local deer populations is an important consideration for deer managers. Shelled corn is commonly used to attract white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to infrared-triggered camera survey sites. The addition of mineral formulations may increase deer visitation. We evaluated the effect of four mineral formulations on deer visitation at two study areas in Tennessee. Mineral formu...

The total fibrous and nonfibrous mineral content of the lung has been analyzed in a series of 14 men with lung cancer but no history of occupational dust exposure, and in a series of 14 control men matched for age, smoking history, and general occupational class. The lung cancer patients had an average of 525 +/- 369 X 10(6) exogenous mineral particles and 17.4 +/- 19.6 X 10(6) exogenous minera...
