Analytical and Early Detection System of Infectious Diseases and Animal Health Status in Kuwait.

This study aimed at the development of an analytic web-based system for the assessment of animal health in Kuwait. The data sources were based on the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS) repository with data gathered for the period (2005-2020). An on-line web-based system using TABLEAU Creator was developed for monitoring and surveillance of animal disease outbreaks.

Atmospheric residence times and excess of unsupported Po in aerosol samples from the Kuwait bay-northern gulf.

The concentration of cosmogenic radionuclide Be and the naturally occurring radionuclide Rn and its progenies Pb, Po, and Pb were measured in the ground surface air in the urban area of the northern Arabian Gulf close to Kuwait Bay. A high-volume air sampler connected with a five-stage cascade impactor was used to collect approximately 1800 cubic meter weekly for a period of one year. The concentrations of Pb and Po varied from 0.

Activity size distributions of radioactive airborne particles in an arid environment: a case study of Kuwait.

Atmospheric radioactive airborne released from several natural and artificial sources can travel for long distances and disperse in different directions. Both the physical and chemical characteristics of the atmospheric aerosols control this movement. The concentrations of Pb, Po, Be, K and Cs radionuclides in the ground surface air were determined in three particle sizes (2.

Exposure levels of air pollution (PM) and associated health risk in Kuwait.

It is well established that respiratory and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity rates are associated with poor air quality as measured by high concentrations of fine particulate matter such as PM parameters. Since such information is lacking for the State of Kuwait, this study examined the exposure levels of PM and the associated health risk as evaluated by five mortality measures embodied in ischemic heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute lower respiratory infection as well as two morbidity outcomes related to both cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The measurement models utilized in this investigation followed the WHO guidelines.
