Three to 4 million children and adolescents in the United States live within 1 mile of a federally designated Superfund hazardous waste disposal site and are at risk of exposure to chemical toxicants released from these sites into air, groundwater, surface water, and surrounding communities. Because of their patterns of exposure and their biological vulnerability, children are uniquely suscepti...

The Superfund Basic Research Program—Research for the Future

Encephalartos hildebrandtii flour was prepared as described in the previous paper (Mugera and Nderito, 1968). The basal diet consisted of commercially available chicken mash, on which excellent growth of the control animals was obtained. The Encephalartos hildebrandtii flour was thoroughly mixed with the basal diet to give a 5 per cent concentration and fed to rats ad libitum. These were male a...

The Superfund Basic Research Program—A Time of Change

Background: Malaria is a former endemic problem in the Camargue, South East France, an area from where very few recent data concerning Anopheles are available. A study was undertaken in 2005 to establish potential malaria vector biology and dynamics and evaluate the risk of malaria reemergence. Methods: Mosquitoes were collected in two study areas, from March to October 2005, one week every two...
