Descriptive analysis of epidemiological data includes hypotheses development. This is based on variability of disease outcome rates with demographic variables. On the other hand, analytical epidemiology determines cause or mode of disease epidemic outbreak.
Descriptive epidemiology refers to analyzing the existing trends of a disease epidemic. The study is conducted with respect to time, place and persons (Aschengrau and Seage, 2013).
Forecasting models help detect future epidemics using related factors like environment, vector density or socioeconomic factors. In this article, the role of forecasting models in epidemiology is explained.
Epidemiological studies can be defined as mathematical representations of epidemiology of disease transmissions and its associated processes (Dubé et al., 2007).
Microbial remediation has shown significant potential in mitigating a wide range of pollutants, in a much more efficient and safe manner. While reviewing literature on pollutants, 6 main classes were determined, depending upon their chemical nature or constituents or sources.
Paracetamol was discovered by McNeil Laboratories in 1955 as an analgesic and antipyretic for children and is further said to be a non-opiod analgesic and is often known as acetaminophen.
Radioactive substances occur naturally in the environment and they emit small amounts of radiations. However, anthropogenic activities produce high levels of radioactive materials that are released into the environment causing pollution.
Mercury bioremediation processes as mercury occurs naturally in the environment and is found in both elemental inorganic and organic forms. It generally occurs in two oxidation states, Hg+1 and Hg+2.
