Development and first results of an aircraft-based, high time resolution technique for gaseous elemental and reactive (oxidized) gaseous mercury.

29 Sep 2009 We developed a high time resolution (2.5 min) aircraft instrument for gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) and reactive gaseous mercury (RGM). The system measures RGM with complementary denuder and difference techniques, which can be compared to check ... Read more...

Screening for influenza infection in international airline travelers.

29 Sep 2009 We sought the collaboration of an international airline and border control agencies to study the feasibility of entry screening to identify airline travelers at increased risk of influenza infection. Although extensive and lengthy negotiations were ... Read more...
