Experimental Ground Water Pollution at Anchorage, Alaska

Particulate air pollution and respiratory disease in Anchorage, Alaska.

This paper examines the associations between average daily particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and temperature with daily outpatient visits for respiratory disease including asthma, bronchitis, and upper respiratory illness in Anchorage, Alaska, where there are few industrial sources of air pollution. In Anchorage, PM10 is composed primarily of earth crustal material and ...

MRSA USA300 at Alaska Native Medical Center, Anchorage, Alaska, USA, 2000–2006

To determine whether methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300 commonly caused infections among Alaska Natives, we examined clinical MRSA isolates from the Alaska Native Medical Center, Anchorage, during 2000-2006. Among Anchorage-region residents, USA300 was a minor constituent among MRSA isolates in 2000-2003 (11/68, 16%); by 2006, USA300 was the exclusive genotype identified ...

optimal identification of ground-water pollution sources

a new mathematical model for identifying pollution sources in aquifers is presented. the model utilizes lagrange constrained optimization method (lcom) and is capable to inversely solve unsteady fluid flow in saturated, heterogeneous, anisotropic confined and/or unconfined aquifers. throughout the presented model, complete advection-dispersion equation, including the adsorption as well as retar...
