This paper is study on the temporal and spatial dynamics characteristics of total ozone over Tibetain Plateau from 1979 using multi-resource remote sensing. The findings indicate that the total ozone over Tibetain Plateau is continuously decreasing. The decreasing rate is larger than the global and northern hemisphere average, and the average annual decreasing rates are about 0.23%, 0.19% and 0.12% for Tibetain Plateau, global and northern hemisphere average respectively. However, the decreasing rate is lessening after 2000. The decreasing rates each year are about 0.51%, 0.49% and 0.31% during the 3 stages of 1979-1989, 1990-1999 and 2000-2008. The days of total ozone over Tibetain Plateau lower than 240 DU is up to 34 d, and there is not largely lower ozone (lower than 240 DU) area after 2005; the seasonal variation of total ozone present sinusoidal, the largest and smallest value appear in March and October, the average values are about 304.59 and 265.45 DU respectively. But the smallest of daily value are often appears in November or December. The largest and smallest fluctuation of total ozone appear in February and September with the standard deviation of 17.28 and 5.88 DU respectively; the total ozone and altitude is inversely relationship, lower ozone appear over higher altitude areas, especially, over Tibetain Plateau region. Compare with the average total ozone over the same latitude, the total ozone over Tibetain Plateau is lower with about 19 DU, and give birth to an ozone valley.

United States (US) background ozone (O) is the counterfactual O that would exist with zero US anthropogenic emissions. Estimates of US background O typically come from chemical transport models (CTMs), but different models vary in their estimates of both background and total O. Here, a measurement-model data fusion approach is used to estimate CTM biases in US anthropogenic O and multiple US background O sources, including natural emissions, long-range international emissions, short-range international emissions from Canada and Mexico, and stratospheric O.

Introduction: Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) a severe complication of diabetes which can result in ulcers, infections, or tissue damage in the feet.
Aim: To compare the treatment effectiveness in patients with DFS using local O therapy depending on the O concentration.
Material And Methods: The study included 50 patients, 24 male and 26 female ones, in the age range between 39 and 84 years, with DFS.

Background: We launched the Wako Cohort Study in 2023 to identify individual and socio-environmental factors related to the extension of healthy life expectancy and the reduction of health disparities among community-dwelling adults and to develop health promotion and care prevention strategies. This study profile aims to describe the study design and participants' profile at baseline.
Methods: The Wako Cohort Study is a prospective study of community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 40 years living in Wako City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

As the global consumption of pharmaceuticals increases, so does their release into water bodies. The effects, although not fully understood, can be detrimental to aquatic ecosystems and human health. The new Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) in European Union requires implementation of quaternary wastewater treatment processes to limit the loads of pharmaceuticals reaching water bodies.

The goal of the present work is to quantify the performance of ozonation as a method for the in situ remediation of soils polluted at varying degree with different types of hydrocarbons, and assess its applicability, in terms of remediation efficiency, cost factors, and environmental impacts. Ozonation tests are conducted on dry soil beds, for three specific cases: sandy soil contaminated with low, moderate and high concentration of a non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) consisting of equal concentrations of n-decane, n-dodecane, and n-hexadecane; sandy soil polluted with diesel fuel; oil-drilling cuttings (ODC). The transient changes of the concentration of the total organic carbon (TOC), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) in soil and carbon dioxide (CO), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and ozone (O) in exhaust gases are recorded.
