The mountain context represents a suitable setting for promoting health. In view of the Olympic Games, which are expected to take place in the Dolomites area in 2026, the outdoor Alpine environment must continue to meet all the health and safety requirements. Our recent experience, implemented in this area since summer 2024 through the Prevention Department of the Local Health Authority ULSS 1 Dolomiti, aims to encourage multi-sector preventive public health policies, in order to improve the "Shelters" ("rifugi", in Italian) hygiene, to strengthen the safety requirements, and to implement preventive projects.

The dolomite dust-emulsified asphalt composite (DAC) with excellent mechanical properties was successfully prepared using alkali activation. The effects of different alkali concentrations and emulsified asphalt contents on the mechanical properties of the materials were studied. And the micro-mechanisms of its mechanical performance changes were analyzed through SEM and XRD characterization.

Electronic address:
In karst landscapes, where sustainable water management is increasingly challenged by drought-induced water scarcity, the adoption of road-based rainwater harvesting (RBWH) systems has emerged as a promising solution for improving water accessibility. Despite the growing implementation of such systems, the effectiveness of many RBWH projects in karst terrains remains suboptimal due to an inadequate understanding of runoff generation mechanisms associated with hilly road networks. This study focuses on quantifying the contributions of intercepted surface runoff (SR) and soil-epikarst lateral flow (SEF) from a newly exposed road-cut slope in a dolomite hillslope, with data collected across 156 rainfall events from May 2019 to May 2022.

With the excellent water quality, abundant water quantity and convenient and economical exploitation conditions, groundwater has become an important water source for the social and economic development and people's livelihood in the northeast margin of the Tibetan Plateau in China. This study employed geostatistics, mineral saturation index, Gibbs diagram, ion ratio coefficient, chloralkali index and other methods to reveal the chemical distribution characteristics, evolution law and hydrogeochemical formation mechanism of groundwater in the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that the contents of main chemical components of groundwater in Beichuan increased continuously from 1980 to 2020 complicating the types of hydrochemistry due to intensive groundwater exploitation and potential pollution from chemical plants.

Article Synopsis
- Groundwater across the northwestern Hetao Basin in China poses health risks due to high arsenic (As) levels, which were analyzed alongside boron (B) to understand their formation mechanisms.
- Boron isotopic values (δB) in groundwater varied, showing a decrease from the alluvial fan to the transition area, followed by an increase towards the flat plain, suggesting complex interactions with silicate minerals and Fe(III) oxides.
- The study highlights processes like desorption, organic matter degradation, and co-precipitation that influence the enrichment of arsenic and boron in groundwater, providing insights into the hydrogeochemical dynamics at play.
