Communicable diseases monitored by disease surveillance in Kottayam district, Kerala state, India.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES A disease surveillance model developed in the North Arcot district, Tamil Nadu, was found to be practical, efficient, inexpensive and useful for public health action to monitor the success of ongoing interventions and to detect and intercept outbreaks. It was centred in the private (voluntary) sector with full co-operation and participation by the government sector. As K...
متن کاملBurden of Outdoor Air Pollution in Kerala, India—A First Health Risk Assessment at State Level
Ambient air pollution causes a considerable disease burden, particularly in South Asia. The objective of the study is to test the feasibility of applying the environmental burden of disease method at state level in India and to quantify a first set of disease burden estimates due to ambient air pollution in Kerala. Particulate Matter (PM) was used as an indicator for ambient air pollution. The ...
متن کاملTrace metal pollution in the Mediterranean Sea
In the Mediterranean Sea, the distribution of dissolved zinc, copper, lead and cadmium is primarily controlled by marine circulation, surface source dynamics and biological new production. We show that the present relatively high content of these metals in the surface layer is due to non-steady-state cycles as a result of source increases probably following increases in industrial, agricultural...
متن کاملEvaluation of Groundwater Chemistry of a Central Kerala River Basin, India using Multivariate Analysis
Statistical processing of data was necessary to arrive at a reasonable conclusion regarding the chemical behavior of groundwater in a river basin. Multivariate analysis was done to elucidate the groundwater chemistry of a Central Kerala River basin. Hydrochemical parameters like EC, pH, TDS, TH, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl, F, HCO 3 +CO 3 , SO 4 , total Fe were estimated in the pre- monsoon and post-mons...
متن کاملMetal Signature of Atmospheric Aerosol from Kochi, the Queen of Arabian Sea, Kerala, India
The present research article highlights the metal (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and Fe)distribution pattern in the RSPM generated in different hot spot sites located at Kochi, theQueen of Arabian Sea. These sampling sites are categorized under three different zonesas estuarine, riverine, and coastal. Two sampling phases are selected in order to check theconsistency in pollution trend after a two year gap and...
