(East Carolina University, 2013)
In the United States, nutrient and pharmaceutical loading into lakes, streams, and estuaries is a problem that has been recognized for decades and is of special concern for many North Carolina (NC) watersheds. Pharmaceuticals ...
FATE AND TRANSPORT OF WASTEWATER PHOSPHORUS IN THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN : A COMPARISON OF WATERSHEDS SERVED BY MUNICIPAL AND ONSITE WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
(East Carolina University, 2013)
This study compares the phosphorus (P) treatment efficiency of on-site wastewater systems (OWS) and municipal wastewater treatment systems (MWS) and quantifies impacts each technology has on ground and surface water. ...
Mosquito Control in North Carolina : Funding Issues and Emergency Management
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Natural disasters such as hurricanes may cause increases in mosquito abundance and, consequently, arbovirus transmission risk. In 2011, flooding from Hurricane Irene in eastern North Carolina (NC) resulted in increased ...
Evaluation of the Efficacy of Barrier Sprays Conducted by a Private Backyard Mosquito Control Company in a Suburban Neighborhood in Eastern North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Mosquitoes are nuisance pests and a public health concern, with the potential to transmit viruses to humans through blood feeding. Mosquito control programs (MCPs) provide services to control and reduce mosquito populations ...
Effects of Thermal Regeneration of Activated Carbon Fibers on Adsorption Characteristics for Toluene
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-12)
Respiratory protective equipment is recommended as one method to diminish exposure to airborne pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Activated carbon fiber (ACF) has a potential use as an alternative ...
