Mitigation of global warming scenarios by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) water convention requires better water use policies by all management parties. One of Lisbon's municipal contributions to target a sustainable urban water cycle has been to assess the microbial and hydrochemical quality of groundwater. The aim is to clarify the possible existence of contaminations a. 2018.

  3. Infecção fúngica em Portugal - o gigante adormecido. A Micologia clínica é tradicionalmente reconhecida como sendo de pouca expressão em contexto não imunocomprometido, sendo as infeções fúngicas associadas principalmente a doentes com imunodeficiência adquirida, diabetes, cancro, fibrose quística, queimados e pouco mais. Mas será verdadeiramente assim? Este artigo faz uma actualização sobre a infecção fúngica em Portugal, contextualizando-a no mund. 2016.

  4. Políticas internacionais de proteção da saúde e do ambiente. A qualidade ambiental das praias tem vindo a adquirir uma importância crescente entre os critérios de escolha de destino turístico. Apesar de, nos últimos anos, a legislação ter evoluído no sentido do ordenamento da zona costeira e do tratamento de águas residuais, a qualidade da água balnear é o único indicador da qualidade relacionado com a saúde pública que pode permitir aos utentes uma escolha. 2016.

  5. Bibliotecas na saúde… e a saúde nas bibliotecas?. Em arquivos e bibliotecas a presença de fungos é considerada nefasta pelas suas implicações na conservação e leitura de documentos históricos e pela sua associação a problemas de saúde sentidos pelos funcionários e utentes que frequentam estes locais. De acordo com alguns autores, os problemas de saúde mais reportados por funcionários em Bibliotecas e Arquivos são dermatite, rinite, alergias e asm. 2016.

  7. Plans for World Wide Public Health Risk Assessment and Regulations for Hygienic Quality of Beach Sand and Beach Water. Beach water is often monitored for microbiological quality to detect the presence of indicators of human sewage contamination so as to prevent public health outbreaks associated with water contact. However, despite popular belief that sun light sterilizes surfaces, beach sand harbors microbes harmful to human health, often in concentrations greater than the beach water. Currently, there are no sta. 2014. Brandão, João. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/2240.
  8. Diagnosis of Tinea pedis and onychomycosis in patients from Portuguese National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge: a four year study. ABSTRACT - Tinea pedis and onychomycosis are two rather diverse clinical manifestations of superficial fungal infections, and their etiologic agents may be dermatophytes, non-dermatophyte moulds or yeasts. This study was designed to statistically describe the data obtained as results of analysis conducted during a four year period on the frequency of Tinea pedis and onychomycosis and their etiolog. 2013.
