Patos Lagoon is the largest choked coastal lagoon in world (250 km long, 40 wide and mean depth of 5 m), with banks formed by sand predominantly muddy bottom. The circulation mainly driven wind river flow, a minor contribution local microtidal regime. This one most studied water bodies Brazil. suspended particulate matter (SPM) data compendium consists over four decades (1978–2019) SPM gathered...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few studies have examined the effect of hourly changes in air pollution on cardiovascular disease morbidity. We evaluated the associations between hourly changes in air pollution and the risks of several types of cardiovascular disease. METHODS We used a time-stratified case-crossover design. Study participants were 10,949 residents of the city of Okayama, Japan, aged≥6...

Sewage solids are usually characterized by non-specific parameters such as suspended solids. The suspended solids has been shown to be an inadequate index for advanced water treatment processes. In this study, the sewages solids particle size distribution was used to provide more detailed information on sewage characteristic. It is hoped that, by introducing particle size distribution, the mech...

The Burdekin River, Queensland, Australia drains a catchment area of ~130,000 km and contributes approximately 30% of the total sediment supplied (~ 3.8 t) to the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon from all Great Barrier Reef catchments. Much of this watershed (~115,000 km) drains into the Burdekin Falls Dam, the largest dam reservoir in Queensland (1,860 GL capacity; 224 km surface area; average depth ...
