The aims of this study were: (1) to examine BLLs in the Canadian general population and vulnerable sub-populations between 2007 and 2013 using data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS); and (2) to assess factors that are associated with elevated BLLs in these populations.
This Article supports SDG 3 by examining whether rehabilitation with hearing aid use in people with hearing loss is associated with lower mortality.
Proper regulation is essential to ensure that such a system benefited those in need, and that those who provided organs are properly compensated. Without significant policy changes, however, far too many patients will continue to languish on waiting lists until they run out of time. The goal of SDG3 is that everyone should have a good health and well-being.
Augmentation approaches warrant further consideration as part of water agencies' regional water supply portfolios. Although the ocean water augmentation approaches discussed in this paper are based on a case study in California, the approach can be applied to similar scenarios around the world.

Handbook of Nanomaterials: Electronics, Information Technology, Energy, Transportation, and Consumer Products: Volume 1, Volume 1, 1 January 2024
In this chapter, we discuss various methods for synthesizing nanomaterials and their properties for application in energy generation. We also explore the practical applications of different nanomaterial-based energy-generating devices and their performance, positioning them as alternative technologies to traditional power sources. The chapter highlights the overall performance—thermal, electrical, and mechanical—of nanomaterial-based energy generators and examines the role of various nanomaterials in energy-harvesting devices. Finally, we address the current challenges in applying nanomaterials in energy generation.
The paper presents a scientific framework for assessing marine biodiversity and reveals significant gaps in our understanding and protection of ocean biodiversity, emphasizing the need for more strategic conservation efforts to safeguard marine ecosystems and their contributions to human well-being.
This Article supports SDG 3 by showing that mobile health clinics can be a feasible and effective way of providing hepatitis C services to underserved, at-risk populations who face barriers to care. Policymakers should consider implementing such programmes in order to increase diagnosis and treatment rates and improve outcomes among these populations.
