Atmospheric air quality is a crucial factor in the health of human populations. Suspended particulate matter (SPM) one most dangerous components polluting urban air. The aim present article to study effect model suspensions (MS) SPM that are characteristic composition atmospheric at locations with various anthropogenic loads on redox processes alveolar macrophages (AM). sampling was carried out...

OBJECTIVES The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) outlines specific requirements governing the use of respiratory protection for workers dealing with dust or other aerosolized compounds. Health care workers may be exposed to bone dust produced during otologic procedures, creating an occupational hazard. The purpose of this research was to quantify the total suspended particula...

The Island Mass Effect has been primarily attributed to nutrient enhancement of waters surrounding oceanic islands due physical processes, whereas the role land runoff seldom considered. Land can be particularly relevant in mountainous islands, highly susceptible torrential rainfall that rapidly leads flash floods. Madeira Island, located Northeast Atlantic Ocean, is historically known for its ...

Land-based aquaculture produces suspended solids in culture pond and settlement pond waters that could be harvested as a bioresource. Suspended solids were quantified, characterised and harvested from these two sources to assess their suitability for conversion to bioproducts. The suspended solids of settlement ponds were less concentrated (87.6±24.7mgL(-1)) than those of culture ponds (131.8±8...

Particulate matter is a natural part of the atmosphere, where the solid or liquid particles are suspended in the air. These suspended particles, also known as suspended particulate matter represents a dispersion aerosol system. In the air there are many types of microscopic airborne particles originated from both natural and anthropogenic processes, such as atmospheric clouds of water droplets,...

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays an important role in material transport, deposition, resuspension and the function of benthic communities’ processes deep sea. SPM concentration data is usually indirectly measured by optical/acoustic sensors. However, converting these sensors’ signal to associated with a number uncertainties, which will lead mis-estimation results. Some researchers reco...

This paper reviews the present state of knowledge on environmental issues related to bivalve aquaculture, with emphasis on suspended mussel culture. Material reviewed includes Canadian and international studies on the role of wild and cultured bivalve populations in controlling ecosystem-level dynamics. The focus is on identifying potential changes in ecosystem processes (material and energy fl...

Introduction Cultural eutrophication threatens numerous ecological and economical resources of Florida’s coastal ecosystems, such as beaches, mangroves, seagrasses. In April 2021, an infrastructure failure at the retired Piney Point phosphorus mining retention reservoir garnered national attention, 814 million liters nutrient rich water were released into Tampa Bay, Florida over 10 days. The re...
