    Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA-91-0246-2354: Dimond Ice Chalet; Anchorage, Alaska

    No full text
    In response to a request from the Anchorage, Alaska Health Department, an evaluation was made of health effects among emergency responders exposed to a CFC-22 (75456) release at the ice-skating rink (SIC-7999) in the Dimond Center shopping mall. The 24-year-old assistant manager of the rink died of asphyxiation while trying to stop a refrigerant leak inside a compressor room. Two other workers lost consciousness and were resuscitated. Two members of an adjoining health club were overcome while swimming in the pool. Possible health effects were investigated in 106 individuals who were in the building during the incident. Emergency responders and other individuals who were in the mall reported symptoms, including lightheadedness, dizziness, eye/nose/throat irritation, headache, giddiness, and weakness. The author concludes that a fatal hazard existed at the Dimond Ice Chalet at the time of the incident. The author recommends measures for employers who operate CFC type refrigeration systems, including a periodic maintenance program, a hazard communication program, the posting of confined spaces, engineering controls, a comprehensive respirator program, and a comprehensive emergency action plan

The definitive version was published in Marine Ecology Progress Series 348 (2007): 161-172, doi:10.3354/meps07050.Seasonal variation in the algal symbiosis and growth of Astrangia poculata, a facultatively symbiotic temperate scleractinian, was explored in Rhode Island, USA. Coral pigmentation and growth were measured simultaneously and repeatedly in both zooxanthellate (corals with symbionts) and azooxanthellate (symbiont free) colonies at 2 sites (~10 km apart) over a 15 mo period using non-destructive digital image analysis methods. A chlorophyll density proxy based on coral pigmentation was derived from multivariate analysis of color data from coral images, and polyps were enumerated to measure colony growth. Among zooxanthellate corals, predicted chlorophyll density exhibited significant seasonal fluctuations that were positively related to temperature, with maxima occurring during late summer and early autumn. Pigmentation dynamics in azooxanthellate corals were more variable, although many of these corals displayed temporal fluctuations in pigmentation. Growth also exhibited seasonal fluctuations positively related to temperature, and ceased during the coldest 3 to 4 mo of the year. Corals lost live polyps during the winter as a result of tissue thinning and dormancy, which rendered the colony unable to fend off settling organisms. Although zooxanthellate colonies were able to grow faster than azooxanthellate colonies, coral pigmentation explained only 23% of the variation in growth rate, emphasizing the importance of heterotrophy as the primary source of nutrition for A. poculata at this northern margin of its range.This study was supported by an American Academy of Underwater Sciences student scholarship to J.D., as well as by the URI Department of Biological Sciences, and National Science Foundation grants to E.C

    Iren Rozdobudko, a contemporary Ukrainian writer wrote her novel Milday’s Last Dimond in 2002. The novel was planned to be the continuation o f Alexander Dumas’ well-known novel The Three Musketeers, with the aim to rehabilitate Milady. In her writings the author plays extensively with the names of her heroes. The literary onomastics of Iren Rozdobudko’s detective story Milady ’s Last Dimond reveals the functions of the proper names in the literary text as well as Rozdobudko’s naming strategy
