The Sasar River basin covers an area of 311 sq.km and it is situated in NW Romania. The investigated area is included, mainly, in the industrial area of the city of Baia Mare, an ar ea with ancient traditions related to the exploitation of non-ferrous ores. Therefore, the mining exploitation activities have created pressing conditions on the environmental and public health of the analyzed area.The dynamic indicators of water quality on specific toxic pollutants  ( metals )  for the period 19982007 were analyzed in three sections located upstream and downstream from the industrial centers of Baia Sprie and Baia Mare.The analyses of the dynamics of heavy metals in the waters of the Sasar River have found that, the main issues are high Pb and Cu indicators for the upstream section of Baia Sprie; as for the section downstream of Baia Mare, the Zn, Cd and Mn indicators are found in such concentrations that their values determine a high level of toxicity for the monitoring section.There is a clear reduction trend in specific toxic pollutants for the upstream section of Baia Sprie. Special problems continue to be reported for zinc, cadmium, manganese and lead, for the sections downstream of Baia Mare and upstream from the confluence of the Sasar and Firiza Rivers.

Screening Assessment

Abstract Background In response to the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in West Africa in 2014 and evidence of spread to other countries, pre-entry screening was introduced by PHE at five major ports of entry in the England. Methods All passengers that entered the England via the five ports returning from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leonne were required to complete a Health Assessment Form and have their temperature taken. The numbers, characteristics and outcomes of these passengers were analysed. Results Between 14 October 2014 and 13 October 2015, a total of 12 648 passengers from affected countries had been screened. The majority of passengers were assessed as having no direct contact with EVD cases or high-risk events (12 069, 95.4%), although 535 (4.2%) passengers were assessed as requiring public health follow-up. In total, 39 passengers were referred directly to secondary care, although none were diagnosed with EVD. One high-risk passenger was later referred to secondary care and diagnosed with EVD. Conclusions Collection of these screening data enabled timely monitoring of the numbers and characteristics of passengers screened for EVD, facilitated resourcing decisions and acted as a mechanism to inform passengers of the necessary public health actions.
