Don't assume the sand is safe

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

On warm days, the beach seems an ideal destination for family rest and relaxation. Who hasn't built a sand castle or been buried up to the neck in sand? However, that family fun has a dark side -- sand can harbor illness-causing microbes. Unfortunately, there are no guidelines for sand quality at recreational sites.

Now, environmental scientists at the University of Miami (UM) and at Northern Illinois University have created a reference guide for potentially harmful germs in sand, similar to the guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency for marine water. The report is published in the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science & Technology.

"These values can be used by beach managers to make decisions concerning sand quality," says Helena Solo-Gabriele, professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the UM College of Engineering and principal investigator of this project. "That way, when regulators are faced with a decision about a potential health risk, there is a guideline available with which to decide whether or not the levels of microbes found in the sand are cause for concern."

Dogs, birds and cats visiting a beach are common sources of bacteria in the sand. "Exposures to high levels of certain microorganisms could cause gastrointestinal illness in humans, while infectious risks vary in different microorganism," says Tomoyuki Shibata, assistant professor in the Public Health Program and Institute for the Study of the Environment, Sustainability, & Energy, at Northern Illinois University and first author of the study.

The researchers wanted to determine what levels of bacteria, or pathogens, found in beach sand could pose a health risk for beachgoers, explains Solo-Gabriele, who is also Co-PI of the Oceans and Human Health Center at the UM Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS).

"The environments in the sand and water are very different," said Solo-Gabriele. "The sand provides more protection against the effects of solar radiation, which has a tendency to inactivate microbes in water. Sand may also protect microbes from predators (other microbes) that are found exclusively in water."

To develop the guidelines, the scientists ran one million simulations of the number of microbes in each gram of sand, the transfer of sand from hand to mouth and the ingestion rate. The researchers determined the risk of having 19 cases per 1,000 beachgoers--the level used by the EPA for swimming in marine recreational waters.

The team also documented the levels of pathogens found in the sand at Hobie Cat Beach, in Miami. The findings indicate that levels of harmful microbes at the beach site were low, when compared to the reference levels and therefore safe for beachgoers.

However, studies have shown that children have a higher illness risk than adults from beach and sand exposures. For that reason, the researchers will now focus on studies of kids' play behavior in sand, to better estimate the acceptable levels of microbes that can cause diseases in children.

"Parents of young children don't need to overreact to our findings and they can reduce their child's infectious risk by basic hygiene practices such as hand washing before eating or drinking and taking a shower," said Shibata.

Yankees starting to roll

BALTIMORE (AP) - The New York Yankees have grown accustomed to beating the Baltimore Orioles, even if it occasionally takes some additional work to accomplish the feat.

Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer in the 10th, and New York defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-4 Wednesday night for their second straight extra-inning win and a three-game sweep.

Curtis Granderson homered and drove in three runs for the Yankees, who won consecutive extra-inning road games for the first time since July 16-17, 2001, at Philadelphia, according to STATS LLC.

New York has won 16 of 21 against the Orioles since the beginning of last season. During that time, the Yankees are 5-2 in extra innings against Baltimore.

"I thought our guys responded well under some tough circumstances with two extra-inning wins," manager Joe Girardi said.

After winning the opener of the series 6-2, New York went 12 innings on Tuesday night before going overtime again in the finale. New York now heads home to face the Los Angeles Angels on Friday after a 3-3 start on the road.

"It's nice to go home. Everyone is excited to go home," Girardi said. "It is nice to get the sweep."

With two outs in the 10th, Mark Teixeira hit an opposite-field pop off Kevin Gregg (0-1) that landed just inside the left-field line and between third baseman Mark Reynolds and left fielder Nolan Reimold.

Swisher then worked the count full before hitting a no-doubt drive into the center-field bleachers.

"I was really excited to get that hit at the end of the game, so excited to come out of here with a sweep," Swisher said.

Rafael Soriano (1-0) worked 1 1-3 innings of one-hit relief and 42-year-old Mariano Rivera got three outs for his second save of the season and No. 605 of his career. One night earlier, Rivera sealed a 5-4, 12-inning win.

New York starter CC Sabathia gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings, striking out eight and walking two. The left-hander won his previous seven starts at Camden Yards, and although that streak ended, he retained his 16-2 record against Baltimore.

Sabathia took a beating on the mound in a fashion that had nothing to do with his pitching line. He was smacked in his left hand trying to catch a bouncer up in the middle in the second inning and had a line drive hit his left foot in the fifth.

Robert Andino and Reynolds had two RBIs apiece for the Orioles, and starter Jake Arrieta allowed four runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings.

"We fought. We put ourselves in the situation," Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones said. "We came back and we just kept fighting, fighting, fighting. They had the big hit, and we didn't have the big hit. We had the opportunity to get it, and we didn't get it."

Reynolds hit a two-run, two-out double in the fifth inning to give Baltimore a 4-3 lead. Although he walked twice earlier, Reynolds was 0 for 6 with three strikeouts against Sabathia.

New York pulled even in the seventh. After Orioles manager Buck Showalter lifted Arrieta with a runner on first and two outs, Luis Ayala promptly walked Derek Jeter on five pitches, and Granderson bounced an RBI single into left field.

The Yankees put runners at second and third with two outs in the eighth before Ayala struck out Russell Martin.

After throwing seven shutout innings against Minnesota on opening day, Arrieta's perfect ERA vanished when Jeter led off with a double and Granderson followed with his first home run, which also provided his first two RBIs.

Arrieta retired the next 11 batters before Teixeira singled with two outs in the fourth.

Sabathia struck out three of the first four batters before Matt Wieters singled and Reynolds walked. Sabathia then tried to barehand a smash up the middle by Ronny Paulino, and although the ball struck his hand, he wasn't hurt.

"It is a natural reaction, but I won't do it again," Sabathia said.

The single loaded the bases, and Andino tied it by lining a two-out single to center.

Baltimore loaded the bases with two outs in the third before Paulino hit into a force play. By then, however, Sabathia's pitch count was already at 74.

New York took advantage of a wild streak by Arrieta to take a 3-2 lead in the fifth. A walk, a hit batter and a single loaded the bases with no outs for Jeter, who drove in a run with a chop off the plate.

NOTES: The start of the game was delayed by rain for 20 minutes. ... For the first time this season, the Orioles failed to homer in either the first or second innings. ... Teixeira turned 32. ... After an off day Thursday, the Orioles begin the road portion of their schedule in Toronto. ... Sabathia held the opposition scoreless in his second start in each of the previous three seasons.

Indonesian quake passes without major tsunami

A magnitude 8.6 tremor displaced far less water than the 2004 Indian Ocean disaster

Web edition : 1:53 pm

accessQuake under the seaA magnitude 8.6 earthquake shook the Indonesian island of Sumatra at 2:38 p.m. local time on April 11, followed by a magnitude 8.2 aftershock a couple of hours later. The April 11 quake was a strike-slip quake that moved mostly horizontally, and so did not trigger a tsunami like the one seen following the magnitude 9.1 earthquake on December 26, 2004, that killed more than 200,000 people.?2012 Cnes/Spot Image, Image ? 2012 TerraMetrics, Data SIO, NOAA, U.S. Navy, NGA, GEBCO, adapted by T. Dub?

One of the most seismically shaky places on the planet got rattled again on April 11, when a magnitude 8.6 earthquake struck near the Indonesian island of Sumatra. A massive aftershock, magnitude 8.2, followed two hours later.

The quake?s epicenter was located about 400 kilometers off the island?s west coast, near ? but not on ? the boundary where the piece of Earth?s crust that underlies Sumatra and parts of southeast Asia rubs against the plate beneath Australia. Vibrations detected around the world suggest the quake occurred at a depth of about 22 kilometers, though this number may change after further analysis.

?We know that this was a big, shallow earthquake,? says Don Blakeman, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey?s National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado. ?We know that it was felt in mainland India.?

Despite its size, Wednesday?s quake didn?t lift up the massive wall of water seen when a magnitude 9.1 earthquake struck Sumatra in 2004. A tsunami watch for the Indian Ocean issued on Wednesday proved unnecessary after the tremors pushed up only a small wave less than a foot high, says Blakeman.

That?s because the unnamed fault ruptured in a strike-slip fashion, similar to how the San Andreas Fault in California behaves. Rocks on either side of the fissure slid past each other mostly horizontally, with little vertical movement. The megathrust earthquake in 2004, in contrast, buckled the seafloor upward.

?If you don?t have vertical motion, you don?t have the process that lifts water upward,? Blakeman says.

Strike-slip quakes in this area aren?t unheard of. Three smaller ones occurred in 2006, 2007 and 2012. In the wake of this latest, especially large, strike-slip quake, smaller aftershocks close to magnitude 5.0 have continued to shake the area.
