Water samples from radiation and upslope types of fog were collected at Takanosu Basin and Hachimantai mountain range of Akita Prefecture in northern Japan, respectively. The effect of the long-range transport of pollutants from the Asian Continent to the basin and the mountain range on the chemical characteristics of two types of fog was studied using chemical analysis data for the water sampl...

BACKGROUND Urban pollution is a major source of concern for human health and is a complex of many environmental factors. The topical exposure to pollution activates cutaneous stress. OBJECTIVE In this study, we tested the antipollution protection of two active components: Dead Sea minerals (Dead Sea mineral-rich water [DSW]) and anionic polysaccharide (PolluStop® [PS]). MATERIALS AND METHOD...

During these lasts four decades, an increasing awareness has been provoked by chemicals deeply present in the environment. They can exert and cause deleterious effects on wildlife populations and human health. That is inextricably linked to the health of the environment. Elevated levels of pollutants in the watercolumn, in combination with high bioavailability of the pollutants, are likely to r...

North Sea. Holt et al. (2014, reference in the manuscript) found the North Sea less sensitive to production changes and projected less consequences of climate change for the North Sea compared to the global ocean, whereby Gröger et al (2013, reference in the manuscript) found the opposite, a more sensitive North Sea production to climate change. The question of regional consequences of climate ...

The Dead Sea is an excellent natural laboratory for the investigation of Reactive Bromine Species (RBS) chemistry, due to the high RBS levels observed in this area, combined with anthropogenic air pollutants up to several ppb. The present study investigated the basic chemical mechanism of RBS at the Dead Sea using a numerical one-dimensional chemical model. Simulations were based on data obtain...
