There is another extensive deposit of brown ore southwest of Montevallo, and small deposits exist at other points. Stratified hematites also occur in the region*. The most important of these deposits have been described by Henry McCalley 1 and P. S. Smith.2

Since one of the biggest threats to children is an injury occurring at home, it is important to take preventative steps to childproof your home. While this may seem like a daunting task at first, this checklist includes basic tips, broken down by room, to help make your home safer for the whole family.

The Healthy Homes Partnership does this by uniting the efforts of Cooperative Extension professionals at eight universities in the United States. Cooperative Extension is an outreach arm of land-grant universities to provide the public with evidence-based information that can help them make informed decisions. For the last fifteen years the Healthy Homes Partnership has assisted individuals, families, and professionals using a variety of tools, including publications and curricula that addressed mould, safe drinking water, lead poisoning, pests, pesticides and chemicals, carbon monoxide poisoning, radon, and other toxins. The educational toolkit incorporates eight principles of healthy housing (dry, clean, maintained, safe, ventilated, pest-free, contaminant-free, and green) that are widely recognized across federal agencies and national organiz...

We compared these and few other variables on the recovery of radon from two “Proficiency Test (PT)” samples and four “Household Well Water” samples from Georgia. The “130 - 700 keV” assay had significantly higher radon recovery than the “0 - 2000 keV” assay. The “Direct Fill” sampling produced significantly lower radon recovery than the “Submerged Bottle” sampling. “Simultaneous Drawing” of both scintillator and water sample yielded higher radon recovery than “Separate Drawing”. Air bubble in the samples resu...

However, limited studies have investigated the relationship between these two. This study used data from the Household Pulse Survey, collected between 23 April 2020 and 23 November 2020 to explore the relationship between mental health status as perceived by the residents and housing tenure (own or rent), building type, and the number of household members, while accounting for sociodemographic characteristics, general health-related variables, and week-specific unobserved heterogeneities. The findings suggest that renters had higher odds of experiencing mental health issues than homeowners. Residents in multifamily housing units had higher odds of experiencing mental health problems than single-family units. Further, more people in the household were associated with lower odds of experiencing mental health episodes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
