Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the biodegradability and removal of seven aromatic amines in sewage treatment plants, assessing their fate for environmental safety.
  • Three testing tiers were used: a standard biodegradability test, a sewage treatment simulation, and model predictions, revealing varied degradation rates among the amines.
  • The findings indicate that while some amines degrade quickly, others persist and may pose risks to aquatic ecosystems, leading to the development of a new model for sewage treatment in China to better predict chemical behavior.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings at presentation and after hospital admission in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

Materials And Methods: We reviewed the HRCT findings at presentation (n = 12) and after hospital admission (n = 25) of 29 patients with SARS and compared the HRCT findings with the radiographic findings. HRCT scans were obtained using 1-mm (n = 28) or 2-mm (n = 1) collimation.
