The preceding paper (1) showed that Br2 is produced in the OV flash photolysis of seawater and that some previously unknown reaction between Br2 and carbonate species is environmentally important. The mean pseudo first-order rate for this reaction in a variety of natural seawaters near pH 8.1 is 2.47 t 0.52 x 10 s. ... 

A chemical oceanographer, also called a marine chemist, studies the chemistry of the ocean. One area of study includes how chemicals or pollutants enter into and affect the ocean. These include sewage, oil or fuels, chemical fertilizers, and storm drain overflows. Oceanographers analyze how these chemicals interact with seawater, marine life, and sediments, as they can behave differently due to the ocean s varied environmental conditions. Chemical oceanographers also study how the various elements are cycled within the ocean. For instance, oceanographers quantify the amount and rate at which carbon dioxide is absorbed at the ocean s surface and eventually transferred to deep waters. Chemical oceanographers also aid ocean engineers in the development of instruments and vessels that enable researchers to collect data and discover previously unknown marine life. 

As stated previously, the exact factors that initiate the loss of striatal dopamine are unknown in most patients with Parkinson disease. However, recent evidence suggests that genetic factors may interact with environmental factors to make certain individuals susceptible to the destruction of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.22,35,83... 

The exact cause is unknown, but there appears to be a genetic link. About 75% of those with the tendency to develop Reiter s syndrome have the same gene marker, HLA-B27, described in the previous description of alkylosing spondylitis. There is also an environmental or infectious component. Reiter s disease can develop in at risk individuals following an infection in the intestines, genital or urinary tract. Bacteria implicated as potential causes of Reiter s syndrome include Chlamydia,... 

Environmental Restoration at a Munitions Production Site The problem is similar to that of contaminated media. It is unknown whether there may also be previously acceptable or unintentional disposal of unexploded ordnance at manufacturing sites as described in this book.
