Survey of Legionella Species Found in Thai Soil by Tatiana C. Travis, Ellen W. Brown, Leonard F. Peruski, Duangkamon Siludjai, Possawat Jorakate, Prasert Salika, Genyan Yang, Natalia A. Kozak, Maja Kodani, Agnes K. Warner, Claressa E. Lucas, Kathleen A. Thurman, Jonas M. Winchell, Somsak Thamthitiwat, Barry S. Fields

“…Members of the Gram-negative genus Legionella are typically found in freshwater environments, with the exception of L. longbeachae, which is present in composts and potting mixes. When contaminated aerosols are inhaled, legionellosis may result, typically as either the more serious pneumonia Legionnaires’ disease or the less severe flu-like illness Pontiac fever. …”

Application of nanotechnology in air purifiers as a viable approach to protect against Corona virus by Ali Mahmoudi, Seyedeh Belin Tavakoly Sany, Marzieh Ahari Salmasi, Ali Bakhshi, Arad Bustan, Sahar heydari, Majid Rezayi, Fatemeh Gheybi

“…Although studies indicated that the virus could spread through respiratory particles or droplets in close contact, current research have revealed that the virus stays viable in aerosols for several hours. Numerous investigations have highlighted the protective role of air purifiers in the management of COVID‐19 transmission, however, there are still some doubts regarding the efficiency and safety of these technologies. …”

Investigating the Influence of Anthropogenic Forcing on Observed Mean and Extreme Sea Level Pressure Trends over the Mediterranean Region by Armineh Barkhordarian

“…We investigate whether the observed mean sea level pressure (SLP) trends over the Mediterranean region in the period from 1975 to 2004 are significantly consistent with what 17 models projected as response of SLP to anthropogenic forcing (greenhouse gases and sulphate aerosols, GS). Obtained results indicate that the observed trends in mean SLP cannot be explained by natural (internal) variability. …”
