Technical Measures, Environmental Protection, and Trade
ABSTRACT Technical regulations are increasingly numerous, complex, and often less transparent than traditional price‐based measures. Widely employed to achieve nontrade policy objectives, these measures are frequently adopted for environmental protection purposes. However, the trade effects of environmental measures remain underexplored. Using a unique

Abstract Critical source areas (CSAs) are small areas of a field, farm, or catchment that account for most contaminant loss by having both a high contaminant availability and transport potential. Most work on CSAs has focused on phosphorus (P), largely through the work in the 1990s initiated by Dr.

Survival of Fecal Coliforms in Frozen Vegetable Homogenates
The resistance to freezing of fecal coliforms isolated from frozen vegetables was compared to that of Escherichia coli isolated from fecal sources. The objective was to see if lower resistance to freezing might explain frozen vegetable samples that contain fecal coliforms but not E. coli .

Contaminant Denialism in Water Governance
Abstract Noting that contaminant denialism is an increasing problem in environmental governance globally, this study describes public communication strategies that inappropriately minimize the problem of contaminants in respect of sewage discharges in and around water‐bodies in Cape Town, South Africa.

Optical Brightener Study of Spruce Creek [PDF]
Elevated bacteria levels in the Spruce Creek Watershed have led to shellfish bed closures in the Spruce Creek Estuary and impaired waters listings by the State of Maine. Since 2005, the Town of Kittery, Spruce Creek Association and numerous partners have

Rapid Enumeration and Identification of Stressed Fecal Coliforms
A rapid (72 h) method for enumeration and subsequent identification of fecal coliforms is described. The procedure consists of plating a food suspension in an agar-repair medium (trypticase soy agar pour plates preincubated at 35 C for 2 h, then overlaid with violet red bile agar) incubated at 45.5 C.

Evaluation of m-T7 agar as a fecal coliform medium [PDF]
m-T7 agar, designed to improve recoveries of injured total coliforms, was evaluated for its effectiveness as a fecal coliform medium. The time and temperature of preincubation were found to be crucial to the optimal recovery of fetal coliforms. Isolation rates for fecal coliforms on m-T7 agar from sewage effluents were the highest when plates were ...

ABSTRACT Wastewater recycling is one of the viable options for attaining sustainable water management. In this scenario, gum stabilized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) were synthesized employing the alkaline precipitation method with gum kondagogu stabilizer. Synthesized NP were characterized using UV–vis, DLS, zeta potential, XRD, FTIR, and TEM. ZnO
