Childhood lead poisoning: Case study traces source to drinking water	1989	Massachusetts Department of Public Health, 150 Tremont St., Boston MA 02111	Read more...

J.Environ.Health Pub Date Free Form 1989/ Volume 52 Issue 1 Start Page 346 Other Pages 351 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0022-0892 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Lead poisoning as a result of drinking water carried through lead service lines has been well-documented in the literature. A case of childhood lead poisoning is presented in which the only identified source of lead was lead solder from newly installed water pipes. Partly as a result of this case, the Massachusetts Board of Plumbers and Gas Fitters banned the use of 50/50 lead-tin solder or potable water lines. It is anticipated that this ban will increase the cost of new housing by only $16 per unit but will significantly reduce one environmental source of lead.

A sample taken from the public water supply, and a hot water sample (80 degrees C) collected from hot water tanks, did not yield legionellas. Legionella pneumophila serogroup 3 was found in samples taken at the first point of mixed hot and cold water (50 degrees C) at 3 X 10(2) cfu l-1. 12 of 26 samples from the shower-heads yielded 10(3) to 2.5 X 10(5) cfu l-1 and one of 12 water samples from oxygen bubble humidifiers tested yielded 1.6 X 10(4) cfu l-1. No other legionellas species or serogroups of Legionella pneumophila were isolated during the study. No cases of nosocomial pneumonia were detected among 3653 patients' records, nor was there serological evidence of Legionella infection in the 180 patients tested.

Pub Date Free Form 1989/ Volume 59 Issue 2 Start Page 161 Other Pages 176 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0269-7491 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Sitka spruce and Norway spruce were grown in controlled environments and then exposed to ozone (O3) for short periods as in mid-afternoon episodes experienced in the forest. For concentrations of between 20 and 300 nl litre-1 there were linear relationships between exposure concentration and O3 uptake rates. Increasing photon flux densities increased rates of photosynthesis and transpiration, the increases being larger in actively growing than dormant seedlings. Physiological condition (dormancy or active growth), species and photo flux density were found in influence O3 flux via their effects on stomatal conductance. Exposure to 80 nl litre-1 O3 resulted in consistent increases of stomatal conductance and there were also indications that water-use efficiency was decreased.

Both mean Hb and HCT values were found to be significantly higher in sheesha smokers of all age groups p<0.001], heavy cigarette smokers aged 40 to 49 years p<0.05] and light plus heavy cigarette smokers aged 50-65 years. Carboxyhaemoglobin levels were higher in sheesha than cigarette smokers. Positive correlations were found between COHb levels and that of HCTvalues in both sheesha and cigarette smokers. In seven out of twelve sheesha smokers investigated, the red cell mass was normal while Plasma volume was decreased in ten subjects. It seems that relative rather than absolute polycythaemia is the rule in sheesha smokers.

Pub Date Free Form / Volume Issue 12 Start Page 14 Other Pages 16 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0016-9919 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract The article presents the results of a study of Legionella pneumophila morbidity in Lithuanian meat-processing factory workers, as well as the specific position of legionellosis in the fever diseases structure among the workers of the industry. The technique showed that Legionella pneumophila 1st serogroup seropositive reaction was traced among the healthy workers in 0.2% (antibody titer 1:64). Rather high percentage (7.1%) of persons with specific antibodies was found among those who had suffered the fever disease 6 month before the examination. Among 191 fever patients examined, in 35 (18.3%) cases antibodies against L. pneumophila were detected in diagnostic titers. In 26 workers legionellosis was diagnosed as a result of serologic testing, and Pontiac fever cases were predominant. 1 case was subsequently followed by pneumonia. A chronic nature of epidemic manifestations of legionellosis was established. The pathogenic antigen was detected in 4 of 32 water samples taken from the factory water pipes.

Consequently, the number of diving-related accidents, including both decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism, have increased. Though both involve bubbles, decompression sickness is a disease which involves gas bubbles forming in tissues and venous blood, while arterial gas embolism results from the introduction of gas bubbles directly into the arterial circulation. Although the pathologies and natural histories of decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism are different, the treatment of these conditions is essentially the same. Compression in a recompression chamber is the definitive treatment of both decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism, and any delay before treatment must be minimised if a good outcome is desired.

The effect of alcalization on the occurrence of metals in tap water	1989	The National Board of Health, Helsinki	Read more...

Water Supply Pub Date Free Form 1989/ Volume 7 Issue 1 Start Page 179 Other Pages 183 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0735-1917 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract A survey on the occurrence of copper, zinc, lead, cadmium and chromium in water distributed by 55 Finnish waterworks indicated that most of the elevated metal concentrations in tap water originated from the materials used for water pipes and armatures. Metal concentrations in raw water were usually very low, in most cases below the detection limit. Studying the possible connection between the occurrence of metals and the type of waterworks (surface/ground water; water treatment process) indicated that alcalization procedure applied for corrosion prevention had a marked effect on the metal concentrations found in tap water. Copper and zinc were found in greater quantities in water from ground water supplies with soda or caustic soda for alcalization treatment than in water from surface water supplies with lime alcalization, the differences being statistically significant. There were no statistically significant differences between the metal concentrations in ground waters alcalized with soda or caustic soda and untreated ones. No statistically significant differences were found between the different types of waterworks as to the occurrence of lead, cadmium and chromium.

Seventy-five extracted and frozen bovine mandibular young permanent incisors were used. The etchant used in this study was 40% phospholic acid gel and the etching times were 0, 10, 20, 30 and 60 seconds. All of the specimens were washed with an air water spray for 30 seconds after etching. The bonding agent and composite resin used in this study were Photo Bond and Photo Clearfil A (Kuraray Co.). Shear bond strengths to the outer enamel layers and inner enamel layers of the same teeth were measured. After the shear bond strength test, all the test surfaces of the enamel and resin specimens were observed using the SEM. The following conclusions were obtained. 1) The etching times which showed the highest bond strength were 20 seconds on the outer enamel layers (bond strength: 35.25 +/- 6.60 MPa) and 30 seconds on the inner enamel layers (bond strength: 40.15 +/- 6.59 MPa). 2) When the enamel was etched with all of the etching times, the bond strengths were significantly higher than those of the enamel without etching on the outer and inner enamel layers. 3) In the etched groups, significant differences between the bond strengths were not obtained among the different etching times on the outer and inner enamel layers. 4) In the comparison of the bond strengths between the outer enamel layers and the inner enamel layers, the bond strengths of the inner enamel layer were higher than those of the outer enamel layer with 0, 10, 30 and 60 seconds of etching times. However, a significant difference between the bond strengths was obtained only in the cases with 30 seconds of etching time. 5) In the etched groups, such a tendency toward a higher bond strength was observed in cases which showed poor enamel prism structures and poor resin tags, and resin widely adhered on the enamel surface. 6) Thirty seconds is a sufficient time for etching on the ground young permanent enamel using Photo Bond and Photo Clearfil A.
