In-situ bioremediation, a widely applied treatment technology for source zones contaminated with dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs), has proven economical and reasonably efficient for long-term management of contaminated sites.
Environmental degradation, in other words, has become a food safety problem, and scientists say the long-term risks of consuming contaminated seafood could lead to higher rates of cancer and liver disease and other afflictions.
The STRATEGY project (Sustainable Restoration and Long-Term Management of Contaminated Rural, Urban and Industrial Ecosystems) aimed to provide a holistic decision framework for the selection of optimal restoration strategies for the long-term sustainable management of contaminated areas in Western Europe.
The reservoir of radiocesium in forested landscapes in the Fukushima region represents a potential long-term source of particulate contaminated matter that will require diligent management for the foreseeable future.
All patients were long-term HBV carriers, mostly contaminated during childhood, and had not responded to IFN-α and/or lamivudine therapy.
The findings clearly indicate that long-term exposure to chemically contaminated dredged spoil can induce liver neoplasia and other liver lesions in flounder at contaminant levels comparable to those found in the natural environment.
Apatite is an ideal material for long-term binding of contaminates due to its high sorption capacity for the actinide series and heavy metals, poor solubility in water, high stability under reducing and oxidizing conditions, accessibility, and low preparation cost.
He predicts a dire long-term future: rising seas contaminate the coastal aquifer with salt water, global warming reduces rainfall by 35% by 2100, rising heat leads to the pollution of the Sea of Galilee.The fondness for desalination, argues Gidon Bromberg of Friends of the Earth Middle East, an environmentalist group, stems from a confluence of interests.
An unknown percentage of Salmonella infected pigs continue to be asymptomatic carriers even after acute response, thereby posing long-term zoonotic threats through contaminating the pork production chain.
Long-term exposure to HMs via contaminated food might influence the variability of shell traits in snail populations.
