1. Detection and quantification of human adenovirus genomes in Acanthamoeba isolated from swimming pools
RESUMO Acanthamoeba é a mais comum ameba de vida livre no ambiente, pode atuar como um importante veículo para vários micro-organismos que vivem no mesmo ambiente, tais como vírus, e pode ser patogênica para humanos. Este estudo objetivou detectar e quantificar adenovírus humano (HAdV) em Acanthamoebas isoladas de amostras de águas coletadas de piscin

2. Evaluation of two sweeping methods for estimating the number of immature Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in large containers
Introduction Here, we evaluated sweeping methods used to estimate the number of immature Aedes aegypti in large containers. Methods III/IV instars and pupae at a 9:1 ratio were placed in three types of containers with, each one with three different water levels. Two sweeping methods were tested: water-surface sweeping and five-sweep netting. The data were

3. Desempenho energético e caracterização dos sistemas de aquecimento de água de piscinas. / Energetic performance and characterization of swimming pool heating systems.
The aim of this research is to investigate the energetic performance of two distinct kinds of swimming pool heating systems: gas-fired and electric heat pump. A practical instrumentation research was prepared in these two indoor swimming pools, placed in the same location. Besides these, other four swimming pool, placed each in a different ambient in the cit

7. Electrochemistry control of humic acid and algae using a reactor with diamond film electrode / Controle eletroquimico de acido humico e algas usando um reator com eletrodo de filme de diamante
The presence of humic acids and algae in supplying water and swiming pools may be harmful to the health. This work reports the results obtained in electrooxidation of humic acid and algae using a boron doped diamond (BDD) anode. In this treatment, the solution is percolated through a filter press reactor with a BDD anode polarized at constant current. The ef

8. Isolamento e caracterização morfológica de Amebas de Vida Livre em amostras de solo e água de piscina no Distrito Federal / Isolation and morphological characterization of free-living amoeba from soil and water (swimming pools) samples in Brasília, Distrito Federal, Brazil
As amebas de vida livre são protozoários unicelulares encontrados tanto em solo úmido quanto em ambientes aquáticos. Desenvolvem-se no meio ambiente em solo, poeira e ar; em locais com água sem movimentação, em piscinas, lagos e represas; em soluções de limpeza de lentes de contato; em esgotos, unidades de ar-condicionado, aquecimento e ventilação

11. Swimming pool immersion accidents: an analysis from the Brisbane Drowning Study
An analysis of a consecutive series of 66 swimming pool immersion accidents is presented; 74% of these occurred in in-ground swimming pools. The estimated accident rate per pool is fives times greater for in-ground pools compared with above-ground pools, where pools are inadequately fenced. Backyard swimming pools account for 74% of pool accidents. Motel and

12. Microbiological quality in Finnish public swimming pools and whirlpools with special reference to free living amoebae: a risk factor for contact lens wearers?
To assess the possible risk of microbial keratitis associated with swimming or bathing in public pools, the microbiological quality as well as the presence of free living amoebae in 16 halogenated swimming pools and whirlpools, located in Helsinki, Finland, was determined. Five additional whirlpools situated in the ferries cruising from Finland to Sweden wer
