Abstract:
Findings of comprehensive assessment of occupational health risks in high-carbon ferrochrome production workers are reported. Groups of occupation- and employment duration related risk according to the general morbidity rate depending on the age and employment duration among smelters, blast-furnace keepers, cinder-men, batchers, crane operators, ferroalloy crashers, electrode operators and other smelter workers were identified. Hygienic studies covered the measurement of the following physical and chemical workplace factors: noise, whole-body and local vibration levels, electromagnetic fields and microclimate parameters (temperature, relative humidity, air speed, heat radiation intensity, environmental heat load index), artificial illumination, aerosol concentrations in workplace air and in neutral points of workrooms, average shift aerosol concentrations being calculated, and chemicals concentrations: calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, ferric iron oxide, chromic oxide, chromium anhydride, aluminium oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide. Time-keeping study to evaluate the hardness of the working process and intensity in main occupations was carried out. Our studies revealed working conditions of major smelter occupational groups to be were evaluated as harmful and dangerous: 3rd class, 2nd degree. Microclimate (heat radiation, low ambient air temperatures, noise and environmental dust pollution were reported to be the most unfavorable working conditions; the hardness of the working process heaviness of all major occupational groups were classified as 3rd class, 1st degree. Working conditions of control group workers unexposed to harmful occupational factors of smelter shop were estimated as allowable. Findings on the risk for the gain in the morbidity rate (annual gain in the risk) depending on age and employment duration for the period of 2007-2016 are reported. The direct statistically reliable relationship between the increased disease incidence on age and employment duration is revealed; annual gain in the disease incidence rate is shown.

Abstract:
Soil health is very important point for plant growth which is measured by several indicators. The purposes of the research were to assess and to classify soil health Padang Betuah area of Bengkulu, and to compare between soil health indicators and lettuce plant performance indicators. Soils, consist of mineral and peat soils, were sampled using a soil random sampling technique. Lettuce plants were grown in polybags using sample soils. Both lettuce performance and soil health were assessed by calculating the percentage of total scores of lettuce plant or soil performance indicators which derived from variables observed. Soil variables for field evaluation included color, moisture content, texture, structure, compaction, land slope, organic matter, pH, amount of earthworm, erosion level, LCC (Legume Cover Crop), and vegetation performance. Soil variables for laboratory evaluation were pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total Carbon and Nitrogen, available-Posphorus, cation exchangeable capacity, basesaturation, and aluminum saturation. While, the variables for lettuce growth performance included plant height, numbers of leaf, degree of leaf greenness, plant fresh weight, and relative percentage of shoot : root ratio. The results of field and laboratory evaluation showed that soil health were categoried as a healthy soil and moderate healthy soil both for mineral and peat soils, respectively. Furthermore, similar categories were also obtained for evaluation of plant performance categories. No correlation was found between the soil performance indicatorcategory and the lettuce performance category.Keywords: Field indicator, laboratory indicator, lettuce growth indicator, soil health

Abstract:
The impact of economic activity, as well as scientific and technological progress on the environment is characterized by production of large amount of pollutants, waste and other factors that lead to changes in natural landscapes, pollution of the atmosphere and natural water resources. Continuous increase and expansion in industrial production of chemicals inevitably entail rise of their environmental load. Exceeding thresholds ecosystems’ reliability under the influence of extreme anthropogenic factors can cause significant changes in conditions of existence and functioning of biogeocenoses.

Abstract:
Considering complicity in ecological health and social aspects of industrial contaminated sites (ICSs), the methodologies and approaches of health impact assessments are very heterogeneous. ICSHNet together with WHO recommend two main methodological approaches: health risk assessments and epidemiological studies. Some countries have necessary experience for impact assessment of ICSs, but others have limited resources and less intensity studies. In the Republic of North Macedonia, 16 ICSs are identified, but one of them, lindane dumpsite in OHIS Plant is characterized as the most ecological and public health risk. The general aim: Systematic review of literature data about methodological approaches for health risk assessment of ICSs on international and national level in order to make comparative analysis of current methodological approaches in the Republic of North Macedonia using the case study of ICS OHIS PLANT SKOPJE. Material and methods: The review of scientific and grey literature was performed. The selected scientific studies were searched in the PubMed and Medline databases from 2000-2017, in English and Macedonian. The selected studies and data were analyzed by required information for identification of hazards, exposure assessment and risk characterization. Additionally, the review was performed on published reports of risk assessment of OHIS Plant. Results: A total of 14 original papers were investigated. Continuous monitoring systems for gathering environmental data related to ICSs were used only in two cases and in other studies the concentrations of contaminants in the source were calculated or several ad hoc monitoring campaigns were performed. Exposure assessment was conducted according to qualitative definition for the presence/absence of a source, distance to a source and biomonitoring in the study. Mortality, cancer incidence, congenital abnormalities and hospitalizations were used health data. The study of risk assessment of OHIS Plant has ecological design and indirect quantitative exposure assessment model was used. Conclusion: All investigated studies used three main methodological approaches for exposure assessment: measurement of hazard concentration, distance from source and biomonitoring. Comparable, conducted risk assessment of OHIS Plant follows the recommendations of US EPA and ATSDR with weakness of no existing continual monitoring process and also deficiency of health data and this is the reason for limitation of health impact assessment and setting up EPHT or other public health surveillance system.

Abstract:
Understanding the health of rare and at-risk plant species is crucial for the conservation of biodiversity. Rare and at-risk species are often specialists with very specific requirements for growth and reproductive success. Some parameters associated with growth and reproductive success of rare aquatic species may include biotic and abiotic factors such as herbivory, competition, water depth, pH, and other factors associated with habitat quality. In this thesis, the population health of the rare and at-risk aquatic species Plantago cordata in Southern Illinois streams is assessed in relation to stream quality of sites containing Plantago cordata and sites without Plantago cordata.The objectives of this study were to (1) Determine if there is a relationship between population size structure and biotic habitat factors among populations and sites, and (2) Determine if there is a relationship between population size structure and abiotic habitat factors among populations and sites. Hypotheses were constructed using the hierarchy-of hypotheses method and most narrow alternative hypotheses are as follows: (1) There will be significant relationships between biotic and abiotic factors and Plantago cordata growth and reproductive success. (2) Levels of herbivory will have significant relationships with growth and reproductive success of Plantago cordata. (3) The abundance of co-occurring species individually and considered in functional groups (graminoid, herb, woody) will have significant relationships with growth and reproductive success of Plantago cordata. (4) Stream depth will have a unimodal relationship with growth and reproductive success of Plantago cordata, with maximum performance at an intermediate stream depth. (5) Stream pH will have a unimodal relationship with growth and reproductive success of Plantago cordata. (6) Stream quality (as outlined by the QHEI assessment) will have significant relationships with growth and reproductive success of Plantago cordata. General trends in herbivory suggest that Plantago cordata could be at greatest risk of herbivory during warmest average temperatures of the study season. There is evidence to suggest that flowering individuals could have a greater threat of herbivory than other growth stages based on Kendal correlation results. A Wilcox test determined that there were no statistical differences in species richness for plots with versus without Plantago cordata. There were relatively low values for percent cover of co-occurring species when considered in functional groups and there was overall relatively low species richness across all communities. Despite this, non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of community data provided evidence to suggest that there were statistical differences in the species composition of co-occurring individual riparian species among P. cordata populations. A significant negative correlation for water depth and flowering individuals and a significant positive correlation with water depth and pH occurred. A significant positive correlation for stream pH with the numbers of seedlings and dehiscing individuals was also found. One-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) showed that some populations containing Plantago cordata were found to have stream pH values statistically different from nearby IEPA control streams without Plantago cordata. One population of Plantago cordata was found to be significantly different than two other populations in regards to stream pH using a linear mixed model. A principal components analysis (PCA) of stream Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) assessments demonstrated distinct clustering of Plantago cordata streams and control IEPA streams without Plantago cordata. These findings provide partial evidence to suggest that growth and reproductive success of Plantago cordata could potentially be impacted by the abiotic and biotic parameters explored in this thesis.

Abstract:
While contaminated food products are known to be a leading source of exposure to potentially toxic elements (PTEs), for the general population, few studies have been carried out to examine PTEs levels in soils and plants in wet tropical regions such as Brazil. While the most commonly used index for estimating PTEs accumulation in vegetables and the subsequent exposure to humans who eat them is the bioconcentration factor (BCF) - the ratio between the concentration of metals in the edible portions of produce and their total concentration in soils - the BCF does not provide an adequate description of soil-to-plant metal transfers. A better understanding of such transfers requires information about the soil attributes that influence the availability of PTEs to plants. The state of São Paulo (SP) is the largest consumer of vegetables in Brazil, as well as the largest and most diversified producer. Studies are therefore needed on PTEs concentrations in soils and vegetables, in order to assess their quality under guidelines established by Brazilian legislation. It is likewise crucial to establish critical limits of these elements in soils, via models that assess risks to human health, based on data that reflect current conditions in the soils of São Paulo. The objectives in this study were: (i) to characterize and to evaluate the relations between the concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in soils and in vegetables from the \"Green Belt\" of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, taking the limits established by legislation into account; (ii) to develop empiric models to derive appropriate soil screening values and to provide an accurate risk assessment for tropical regions; (iii) to develop proposals for improved human health-based screening values for Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in São Paulo soils, using soil - vegetable relations. With the exception of Cd, there was a positive correlation between pseudototais and bioavailable contents of PTEs. Cd and Pb content in plants, moreover, not significantly correlated with any of the variables studied. All models of random forests and trees were good predictors of results generated from a regression model and provided useful information about which covariates were important to forecast only for the zinc concentration in the plant. The soil-plant transfer models proposed in this study had a good performance and are useful for eight of the ten combinations (five metals versus two species). SP data combined with NL data for Cd in lettuce and for Ni and Zn in lettuce and in carrot when pH, organic carbon - OC and clay contents were included in the model. Including such soil properties results in improved relations between PTEs concentrations in soils and in vegetables to derive appropriate screening values for SP State. The model in which pH, OC and clay contents were included gave the most useful results with SP and NL data set combined for Cu, Pb, Zn in lettuce and for Cd and Cu in carrot. Our setup did not work for Ni and for Pb in carrot because the data models gave an inconsistent result and the combination of datasets did not or insufficiently improve the results.
Uma das principais vias de exposição de elementos potencialmente tóxicos (EPT) para a maioria da população é por meio da ingestão de alimentos, mas poucos são os estudos relacionados às concentrações de EPTs em solos e em vegetais de regiões tropicais úmidas, sobretudo no Brasil. O índice mais comumente utilizado para estimar o acúmulo de EPTs em vegetais e a subsequente exposição humana pelo consumo de vegetais é o fator de bioconcentração (BCF), que é a razão entre a concentração de metais em partes comestíveis de hortaliças e da concentração total do metal no solo. Porém, o BCF não descreve adequadamente a transferência solo-planta de metais. Assim, a utilização de relações envolvendo os principais atributos dos solos que influenciam a disponibilidade dos EPTs às plantas pode explicar com mais detalhe as relações solo-planta. O estado de São Paulo é o maior mercado consumidor, além de ser o maior e mais diversificado produtor olerícola no Brasil. Assim, são necessárias pesquisas referentes às concentrações de metais pesados em solos e hortaliças, para avaliação da qualidade dos mesmos em relação aos limites estabelecidos pela legislação. Os objetivos neste trabalho foram: (i) caracterizar e avaliar as relações solo-planta entre as concentrações de Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb e Zn em solos e olerícolas de folhas e raiz no estado de São Paulo, tendo em vista os limites estabelecidos pela legislação; (ii) desenvolver modelos empíricos para poder derivar adequados limites críticos do solo e fornecer uma avaliação de risco precisa para regiões tropicais; (iii) desenvolver propostas para melhorar os limites críticos baseados na saúde humana para Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb e Zn em solos de São Paulo, utilizando relações solo-planta adequadas para as condições tropicais. Com exceção do Cd, houve correlação positiva entre os teores pseudototais e biodisponíveis dos EPTs. Os teores de Cd e de Pb nas plantas, por outro lado, não correlacionaram significativamente com nenhuma das variáveis estudadas. Os modelos de florestas aleatórias e árvores foram bons preditores de resultados gerados a partir de um modelo de regressão e forneceram informações úteis sobre quais covariáveis foram importantes para previsão apenas para o teor de Zn na planta. A aplicação de modelos de transferência solo-planta proposto neste estudo tiveram bom desempenho e foram úteis para oito das dez combinações (cinco metais contra duas espécies). O conjunto de resultados de SP pode ser combinado com o da Holanda usando o modelo em que se incluem pH, teor de carbono orgânico - CO e teor de argila para Cd em alface e para Ni e Zn na alface e na cenoura. O modelo foi mais eficiente com os conjunto de resultados combinados para Cu, Pb, Zn, em alface e para Cd e Cu na cenoura. A abordagem não foi eficiente para Ni e para Pb em cenoura, com resultados incoerentes para os conjuntos de resultados combindados ou separados, para os quatro modelos testados.

Abstract:
Les partícules en suspensió (PM) són el contaminant aeri més perillós per a la salut humana. Aquestes es componen de partícules sòlides i líquides que floten a l’aire i que tenen mida i composició química diversa. Les PM solen classificar-se segons la seva mida. Així, aquelles que presenten un diàmetre menor de 10 micres es nomenen PM10, les menors de 2,5 micres es coneixen com PM2.5, i les menors de 1 micres es nomenen PM1. Una de les indústries tradicionalment reconegudes com a font de PM són les cimenteres. Encara que hi ha nombrosos estudis dedicats a les PM al voltant de cimenteres, aquests solen enfocar-se en les PM10, ignorant la importància d'aquelles més petites, i que poden arribar a zones més profundes de l'aparell respiratori. En la present tesi es van recollir PM10, PM2.5 i PM1 en una àrea influenciada per una cimentera durant diferents estacions. Posteriorment, es va dur a terme una caracterització fisicoquímica d'aquestes partícules, per estudiar els seus riscos inhalatoris i contribució de la cimentera al total de PM ambiental. A més, part d'aquestes partícules es van dedicar a fer assajos in-vitro amb cèl·lules respiratòries, per avaluar la seva toxicitat. Els majors nivells de PM es van registrar a l'hivern. A més, es va trobar que més del 60% de les partícules respirables són PM1. Aquesta última fracció va contenir els majors nivells d'alguns metalls pesats i hidrocarburs policíclics, presentant els majors riscos per a la població. Les proves in-vitro van revelar que la fracció fina (PM2.5) donava lloc a una toxicitat general més gran que les PM10. Finalment, la contribució de la cimentera al total de PM ambiental va resultar patent i dependent de l'estat productiu de la planta. Els resultats d'aquesta tesi mostren la importància d'estudiar les partícules fines (PM2.5 i PM1) en entorns influenciats per fàbriques de ciment.

Aunque hay numerosos estudios dedicados a las PM alrededor de cementeras, éstos suelen enfocarse en las PM10, ignorando la importancia de aquéllas más pequeñas, y que pueden llegar a zonas más profundas del aparato respiratorio. En la presente tesis se recogieron PM10, PM2.5 y PM1 en un área influenciada por una cementera en diferentes estaciones. Posteriormente, se llevó a cabo una caracterización fisicoquímica de estas partículas, para estudiar sus riesgos inhalatorios y contribución de la cementera al total de PM ambiental. Además, parte de estas partículas se dedicaron a hacer ensayos de in-vitro con células respiratorias, para evaluar su toxicidad. Los mayores niveles de PM se registraron en invierno. Además, se encontró que más del 60% de las partículas respirables son PM1. Esta última fracción contuvo los mayores niveles de algunos metales pesados e hidrocarburos policíclicos, presentando los mayores riesgos para la población. Las pruebas in-vitro revelaron que la fracción fina (PM2.5) daba lugar a una toxicidad general mayor que las PM10. Por último, la contribución de la cementera al total de PM ambiental resultó patente y dependiente del estado productivo de la planta. Los resultados de esta tesis muestran la importancia de estudiar las partículas finas (PM2.5 y PM1) en entornos influenciados por fábricas de cemento.
Particulate matter (PM) is the most dangerous air pollutant for human health. Particulate matter is composed of solid and liquid particles floating in the air and having different size and chemical composition. PMs are usually classified according to their size. Thus, those with a diameter smaller than 10 μm are named PM10, those smaller than 2.5 μm are known as PM2.5, and those smaller than 1 μm are referred as PM1. Cement plants are one of the industries traditionally recognized as sources of PM. Although there are numerous studies dedicated to PM around cement factories, they tend to focus on PM10, ignoring the importance of smaller PM, which can reach deeper areas of the respiratory system. In the present thesis PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 were collected in an area influenced by a cement plant in different seasons. Subsequently, a physicochemical characterization of these particles was carried out to study their inhalation risks and the cement plant's contribution to the total environmental PM. In addition, to evaluate their toxicity part of these particles was dedicated to performing in-vitro tests with respiratory cells. The highest PM levels were recorded in winter. In addition, it was found that more than 60% of the respirable particles are PM1. This last fraction contained the highest levels of some heavy metals and polycyclic hydrocarbons, presenting the greatest risks for the population. In-vitro tests revealed that the fine fraction (PM2.5) resulted in a higher overall toxicity than PM10. Finally, the contribution of the cement company to the total environmental PM was clear and dependent on the productive state of the plant. The results of this thesis highlight the importance of studying fine particles (PM2.5 and PM1) in environments influenced by cement factories.

Abstract:
Lilium grayi (Gray’s Lily), a southern Appalachian endemic species, is threatened by a Lilium-specific fungal pathogen, Pseudocercosporella inconspicua. The disease is characterized by tan lesions that can cause early senescence, while also lowering seed production and viability. This project tested for P. inconspicua conidia and accessed health at nine locations. The disease was present and ubiquitous across the range of L. grayi. Through identification of P. inconspicua conidia in the field, L. superbum (Turk’s Cap Lily) was identified as an additional host, while L. michauxii (Michaux’s Lily) was disease-free. However, infection was inducible in both species. With the disease widespread in L. superbum and this species represented by many large populations, L. superbum may act as disease reservoir, further complicating the outlook for L. grayi. The disease should be considered an epidemic because of its impact on individual plants, its commonness within populations, and its ubiquity across the geographical range.

Abstract:
The impacts of mining are easily observable in the way they alter the terrain of landscapes, displace animals, and increase waste accumulation in an area. An unobservable impact and one that lasts a long time is by radioactive exposure in the environment. Specifically, this is a risk at uranium (U) mine sites which are expanding in number to accommodate the world’s growing energy needs, and even to accommodate weapons manufacturing. This paper analyses the impacts of an abandoned uranium mine on the local environment through measurements of Uranium concentration in soil, plants, and rocks. Transect sampling was used to collect 22 soil samples and 17 plant samples between 5 and 100m of the mine shaft. Uranium concentrations in soil and plant samples, digested with nitric acid, were measured with an Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), and an X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to find the mineral contents of the rock samples. Satellite positions were associated with each sample, which allowed an effective spatial analysis of the Uranium concentration values. U values in soil ranged from 0 to 5.291ppm, with mean concentrations of 0.710 ppm, and U values in plants ranged from 0.0323 to 0.1121ppm with mean concentrations of 0.0558 ppm. A paired t-test determined that there was no spatial autocorrelation in U concentrations of plants and adjacent soils. The highest U concentration was found closest to the mine, peaking at ~7.3 meters from the mine, and low spatial variability occurs in U concentrations at greater than 10 meters from the mine. In comparison with other mines internationally, U concentrations at this study site were low, which may be indicative of a small operating mine, efficient clean-up, and transport mechanisms of U in desert environments.

Abstract:
L'Équateur est le 5ème pays producteur de pétrole en Amérique du Sud. Les étapes d'extraction et de raffinage génèrent des déchets contentant des métaux co-émis avec les hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAPs), connus pour leurs effets cancérogènes et toxiques chez l'homme. Dans ce contexte et dans le cadre du programme ANR MONOIL, le premier objectif de cette thèse était de déterminer la distribution des métaux dans l'environnement sur les provinces d'Orellana et Sucumbíos (zones d'extraction du pétrole en Amazonie, " NAR ") et dans la ville d'Esmeraldas (raffinerie, sur la côte Pacifique," NPC "). Le 2ème objectif était d'étudier le transfert des métaux depuis le sol ou l'air vers les cacaoyers, largement cultivés en Equateur, et d'en déterminer les impacts sur la santé après ingestion. Enfin, le 3ème objectif était de surveiller la qualité de l'air (PM10) afin d'évaluer l'impact des activités anthropiques et le potentiel oxydatif des particules. Des sols et des cultures ont été collectés dans 31 fermes entre 2014 et 2016. Des échantillons d'air ont été prélevés mensuellement sur 3 sites, à proximité des plateformes pétrolières et de la raffinerie. La composition chimique (teneurs en métaux, carbone organique et élémentaire, ions, sucres, polyols, HAPs) a été déterminée dans les PM10. L'évaluation des risques sanitaires a été réalisée via 3 voies d'exposition. Les effets non cancérogènes et cancérogènes ont été quantifiés à l'aide de l'Indice de Risque (HI) et du Risque Total de Cancer (TCR). La bioaccessibilité du Cd par ingestion a été déterminée avec le test BARGE dans les pâtes et fèves de cacao. La formation d'espèces réactives de l'oxygène (ROS) a été quantifiée par spectrophotométrie en utilisant 3 essais acellulaires: DTT, AA et DCFH. Les résultats montrent que dans 72% des sites, les concentrations en Ba, Co, Cu, Cr, Ni, V et Zn dans les sols dépassent les limites de la législation équatorienne. Pour la plupart des cultures, les concentrations en métaux sont inférieures aux limites de détection, sauf pour le Cd dans le cacao et le Pb dans le manioc, qui dérogent aux normes de qualité alimentaire. Les cacaoyers accumulent le Cd dans les feuilles, les cabosses et les fèves. Comme la teneur en Cd du pétrole est inférieure à la limite de détection, les produits agrochimiques et les intrants organiques peuvent être incriminés. Près de 100% de la teneur totale en Cd dans les pâtes et fèves de cacao est bioaccessible par ingestion. Le risque pour la santé après consommation de chocolat oscille entre faible et élevé, selon la quantité ingérée. Dans les PM10, le Ba et le Mo, traceurs spécifiques des activités pétrolières, ont montré des valeurs beaucoup plus élevées que celles enregistrées dans les sites industriels. Les ratios OC/EC étaient plus élevés en Amazonie, suggérant des émissions biogéniques plus importantes. La teneur en HAPs est plus élevée sur la côte, cependant les niveaux de BaP étaient inférieurs aux limites de l'UE. Les résultats du potentiel oxydatif ont montré que les composés émis par l'industrie pétrolière (HAPs, Ba, Ni, Zn), par la combustion de la biomasse (sucres) dans le NAR ainsi que les traceurs industriels dans le NPC (As, Ba, Ni, NH4+) corrèlent avec la génération de ROS. Les principales voies d'exposition aux métaux sont l'ingestion et l'inhalation et, dans une moindre mesure, le contact dermique avec le sol. Les enfants tout comme les adultes sont vulnérables aux effets toxiques de ces composés. Enfin, d'autres facteurs comme la déforestation, l'agriculture et les émissions naturelles (volcans) dans le NAR mais aussi les industries dans le NPC contribuent également aux dégâts environnementaux constatés et aux effets néfastes sur la santé
Ecuador is the 5th crude oil producer country in South America. Oil extraction and refining generate toxic waste containing metals co-emitted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naturally present in crude oil or added during production, and known for their carcinogenic and toxic effects in humans. In this context and as a part of the ANR MONOIL program, the first aim of this PhD research was to determine the distribution of metal(loid)s in the environment in the provinces of Orellana and Sucumbíos (oil extraction, North Amazon " NAR ") and the city of Esmeraldas (oil refining, North Pacific Coast, " NPC "). The second aim was to determine if there was a transfer of toxic metals, such as Cd, from soil or air to cacao crops, widely cultivated in Ecuador, and if the consumption of cacao-based products could imply risks for human health. Finally, the third aim was to monitor air quality over 2 years in both areas to assess the impact of anthropogenic activities and the oxidative burden of particulate matter (PM10). Soils and local crops were collected in 31 small-scale farms, between 2014 and 2016. Monthly PM10 samples were collected in 3 sites, in the vicinity of oil platforms close to the refinery. PM10 chemical composition (contents in metals, organic and elementary carbon (OC, EC), ions, sugars, polyols, PAHs) was determined. Human health risk assessment was performed taking into account ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact. Non carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects were quantified using the Hazard Index (HI) and the Total Cancer Risk (TCR). Bioaccessibility of Cd after ingestion was determined by the BARGE in vitro test in cacao beans and liquors. In aerosols, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation was quantified using 3 acellular assays: DTT (dithiothreitol), AA (ascorbic acid) and DCFH (2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein). Ba, Co, Cu, Cr, Ni, V and Zn concentrations in 72% of the study soils exceeded the limits of the Ecuadorian legislation. For most of the crops, elements were below the limits of detection but, Cd in cacao and Pb in manioc were above the international standards for food quality. Cacao trees accumulate Cd in leaves, pod husks and beans. Because Cd contents in crude oil were below the detection limits, agrochemical products and natural inputs may also be important sources. Almost 100% of the total Cd content in cacao beans and liquor was bioaccessible by ingestion. The health risk after chocolate consumption was low to high, depending on the ingestion rate and the cacao liquor percentage. In PM10, As, Cd, Ni and Pb were below the EU thresholds. However, Ba and Mo, specific tracers of oil activities, used as weighting agents or catalyzers during drilling and refining, showed values much higher than those recorded in other urban-industrialized sites. PM10 composition depended on oil activity. OC/EC ratios were higher in the NAR (oil extraction) than in the NPC (oil refining), suggesting that biogenic emissions were more important in the Amazon area. PAHs contents were higher in the NPC, but levels of benzo-a-pyrene were below the EU limits. Oxidative potential results showed that compounds emitted by oil industry (PAHs, Ba, Ni, Zn) and by biomass burning (sugars) in the NAR as well as industrial tracers in the NPC (As, Ba, Ni, NH4+) were correlated with ROS generation. Regarding residential exposure, the main routes of exposure to metal(loid)s were first ingestion, inhalation and in a small extent soil dermal contact, being both children and adults vulnerable. Finally, the oil Ecuadorian environment is not only contaminated by oil activities. Other factors like deforestation, agriculture and natural emissions (volcanos) in the NAR and industries in the NPC also contribute to environmental damages and may lead to adverse health effects

Abstract:
The postsecondary acts of violence at Virginia Technical University (VT) and Northern Illinois University (NIU) forced Illinois legislators to approve the Campus Security Enhancement Act in 2008 (110 ILCS 12/20). The Act requires all private and public postsecondary education institutions to develop a Campus Violence Prevention Plan (CVPP), as well as two multi-disciplinary groups to implement the plan and address behaviors of concern, a Campus Violence Prevention Committee (CVPC) and Threat Assessment Team (TAT) (CESA, 2008). Recent research has uncovered that several institutions within the state have not completed their CVPP and the Act has left some institutions unsure of which agency to report to and how to effectively develop and implement their CVPP (Gregory, 2012; Pawlowski & Manetti, 2011). This research study is the first investigation into the groundbreaking Illinois legislation. Utilizing a case study design, the purpose of the research study is to explore how three Illinois postsecondary institutions of similar Carnegie classifications created, implemented, assessed, and addressed challenges in developing their CVPP's. One-on-one interviews and document analysis were used to gather data. With-in case analysis and cross-case analysis were performed to generated research themes to answer the research questions. Four cross-case analysis themes were created to answer the corresponding research questions. Conclusions from this study may assist other Illinois postsecondary institutions in developing their CVPP's and decrease the likelihood of violence occurring in the postsecondary environment.

Abstract:
Long-term monitoring and diagnostic of power plants is a permanent issue for the energy companies. In particular with the increase of flexible operation (e.g. daily start-up and shutdown cycles, part load operations) the definition of proper diagnostic indicators becomes mandatory. Different monitoring strategies were developed, implemented and tested for the main components of a combined cycle power plant (e.g. Gas Turbine, Heat Recovery Steam Generator, Steam Turbine, Pumps) to prevent fault/failure or to plan/evaluate the maintenance activities. This work focuses on the first principles health assessment of the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). The impact of ambient conditions on the gas turbine outlet temperature and mass flow rate and thus on the HRSG behavior is presented referring to the control strategies of the Gas Turbine (GT). To validate the measurements a preprocessing phase basing on Data Reconciliation was performed, aimed at improving the accuracy of the estimation of exhaust mass flow rate entering the HRSG. Gas Turbine and HRSG nergy balances are exploited to reduce the uncertainties of the results, eliminate the outlier data sets and obtain consistent data. Moreover an evaluation of the sensitivity of the indicator will be made basing on field measurements before and after a maintenance intervention.

Abstract:
Abstract. High density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes (approximately 8 hectares each) are employed as floating covers at the wastewater treatment plant of Melbourne Water in Werribee, Australia. The anaerobic lagoons at the plant rely on these HDPE geomembrane floating covers to capture both the biogas and odours. Given the nature of the plant and the harsh environmental conditions, a non-contact inspection method that can cover a vast expanse is the preferred approach for the structural health monitoring and assessment of the cover. This paper presents an exploratory investigation on the use of a quasi-active thermography technique to detect the presence of artificially induced part-through defects on a HDPE geomembrane specimen. The proposed method utilises a naturally occurring heat source (solar radiation) as the thermal stimulus. An infrared thermal camera and a pyranometer were used to record the thermal responses of the HDPE material as a result of solar intensity variation. The viability of using periodic cloud cover transients to drive this inspection technique is reported. In addition, an image processing algorithm is formulated based on the relative summation of the transient events to enhance the identification of the defects. The findings show that the observed thermal transients can be used to define the presence of defects both when the underside of the material is in contact with water or with air, and thereby provides a promising approach for the structural health monitoring of these high-value assets.

Abstract:
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys are a standard survey tool for obtaining patient assessments of health plans, hospitals, and health care providers. These surveys measure patient experiences of care, which is considered a component of health care quality. Providers use their survey results to improve patient experience, which is associated with better health care outcomes and reduced costs. CAHPS data also empower consumers and payers to make more informed choices about providers or facilities. Some people argue that CAHPS surveys are outdated and distract providers from clinical health care quality. In this paper, we review the benefits of CAHPS, the current challenges of these surveys, and ideas for modernization and innovation to ensure these surveys remain relevant. We encourage the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and its contractors to review and implement these innovations to the CAHPS surveys and the dissemination of their results.
