TL;DR: Results did not support the hypothesized protective association of urban tree canopy coverage with asthma or allergy-related outcomes, and tree canopy cover near the prenatal address was associated with higher prevalence of allergic sensitization to tree pollen.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a site assessment tool to survey 13,405 street trees and found that 74.3% of the sample trees were alive when surveyed and the remainder were either standing dead or missing.

TL;DR: The development of methods for extracting the algal toxin domoic acid from Pseudonitzschia cells (extraction efficiency >90%) and testing of samples using a competitive ELISA onboard the ESP are described and efforts are now underway to further refine the assay and conduct additional calibration exercises with the aim of obtaining more reliable, accurate estimates of bloom toxicity and thus their potential impacts.

TL;DR: The detection limit was 30 pg/ml level with a 20 microl injection volume, which demonstrated the value of this method for not only confirming DA production by minimally toxic phytoplankton species, but also for investigating the potentially important role of dissolved DA in marine food webs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the potential of urban forest pollution removal potential at the neighborhood resolution and in relation to neighborhood-level emissions and found that the NO2 removed by the primarily deciduous urban forest ranges from
