More questions on the unisured population in America

What has been happening with health insurance premium costs in relationship to workers earnings? What are the average premium costs for covered workers and how much of those cost did high and low income workers have to pay? What actions have the states been taking in attempting to balance their budgets? Does the public generally support expanding coverage for the uninsured? What stategies have they supported and why hasn't there been any single strategy adopted?

Effluent in man made lake???

A Wastewater Treatment Plant has a very decent treatment system and produces an effluent that has low bacterial numbers usually ranging from 10-100 fecal coliforms/mL. There has been a request to allow the treated effluent to be used to fill a nearby pond (this pond is there just for asthetics- no fishing or boating) as the pond leaks a lot and would require consistent filling. With the treatment plant close by it would be simple to pump the treated effluent into the pond on that continual basis. There has been promise that no swimming will be allowed and signs will be posted. Should a environmental health officer/public health inspector have concerns with this idea and whether or not th... click for more

Hydrotherapy tub- science

I am critically reviewing an article about hydrotherapy tubs and their possible effects on the patients and staff who operate them. I need to find 2 scientific flaws and prove how the flaws are inaccurate with references/ I am curious about some of the statements the authors made. They suggest that the water testing completed at least every seven days... is at least every 7 days too long? Could harmful bacteria (especially hardy ones that could survive the disinfection process (as mentioned in the article) propagate? Can Pseudomonas aeruginosa grow faster then the seven days? Furthermore, the authors suggests that the samples be taken in the morning after complete disinfection... is t... click for more
