Measurement report: Diurnal variability in NO₂ and HCHO lower-tropospheric vertical profiles in southeastern Los Angeles by P. K. Peterson, L. F. Hernandez, L. Tanaka, A. Dunnick

“…Using ground-based measurements, we determined FNRs using both surface mole fractions and VCDs, finding that FNRs derived from surface mole fractions are generally lower than those derived from column-based measurements. Evaluating the ozone exceedance probability as a function of FNR for both quantities suggests that the transition from volatile organic compound (VOC)-limited to NO<span class="inline-formula">_<i>x</i></span>-limited regimes may begin at lower FNR values than those derived from satellite-based measurements in East Los Angeles. …”

Impact of preventive chemotherapy on transmission of soil-transmitted helminth infections in Pemba Island, United Republic of Tanzania, 1994-2021. by Shaali Ame, Fatma Kabole, Alphoncina Masako Nanai, Pauline Mwinzi, Denise Mupfasoni, Said Mohammed Ali, Antonio Montresor

“…However, despite its beneficial impact, both the prevalence and the intensity of STH infections remain high, and the intervention has been insufficient in controlling STH morbidity. This is probably due to a combination of irregular PC, climatic conditions favourable to STH transmission, the low sensitivity of T. trichiura to benzimidazoles, high population density and poor sanitation. …”
