Quotes

...topically for centuries, scientific studies investigating the antibacterial mechanisms represent a relatively new area of research," Haydel says. "With this study, we have demonstrated that the antibacterial activity of these natural clays is not dependent on the physical clay particles, but rather the abiotic, microbicidal activities of specific metal ions desorbed from the clay surface. While we are still working on mechanism of action studies, determining that specific metal ions influenced antibacterial activity was critical in leading us in the appropriate scientific directions."
The researchers wrote, "P. aeruginosa detection underscores the need for vigilant pool cleaning, scrubbing, and water quality maintenance (e g., disinfectant level and pH) to ensure that concentrations do not reach levels that negatively impact swimmer health." And an editorial note said that each person carries an average of 0...
..." They also explain that their findings cannot be generalized for the rest of pools in the US, but that the amount of "acute gastrointestinal illness through the United States suggests that swimmers frequently introduce fecal material and pathogens into recreational water throughout the country." It appears that we're a pretty dirty nation
..."This gives the coral-algae symbiosis a very efficient way to deal with strong fluctuations in nitrogen availability," writes Meibom. "When the nitrogen availability suddenly becomes high, the algae can take-up large amounts of nitrogen on a timescale of a few hours, store it into crystals inside the algae cells and then release this stored nitrogen for metabolic processes and growth when the nitrogen levels become normal again."
