Marburg virus (MARV) disease (MVD) is an uncommon yet serious viral hemorrhagic fever that impacts humans and non-human primates. In humans, infection by the MARV is marked by rapid onset, high transmissibility, and elevated mortality rates, presenting considerable obstacles to the development of vaccines and treatments. Bats, particularly , are suspected to be natural hosts of MARV.

With the growing emphasis on environmental protection, many coal mines in northern China were closed. However, the cessation of pumping operations in those closed mines has caused a rise in groundwater levels, giving rise to various safety and environmental concerns. Understanding the patterns of water level recovery is vital for effectively managing abandoned mine sites and ensuring the uninterrupted production of adjacent coal mines.

Article Synopsis
  • Halong Bay in northern Vietnam is experiencing significant environmental impact from human activities, specifically from metals and metalloids used as indicators for tracing anthropogenic contributions.
  • Two sediment cores, one from coastal waters and another from a small isolated lake, revealed that the coastal site (HL) had a much higher accumulation rate than the lake site (HT).
  • Key findings indicate that the coastal waters are heavily influenced by the Red River drainage, with particular historical pollution spikes linked to significant events like the Indochina War and various regional flooding incidents.
