Bacillus species and B. anthracis presence/absence data were determined in 4,770 soil samples collected across the contiguous United States, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) data for Bacillus species and B. anthracis rpoB gene PCR amplicon detection were reported as non-detect (n), low (l), medium (m), and high (h). Results for both pag and lef genes of the pX01 plasmid were reported by the University of South Florida's Center for Biological Defense. This data was recorded as negative or positive for each of the genes and included the following combinations: neg/neg, pos/neg, neg/pos, and pos/pos. Data for the pX02 plasmid were recorded as negative (neg) or positive (pos).

Tap water samples measure for Legionella pneumophila (by QPCR and culture), heterotrophic bacteria, and chlorine residual. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Donohue, M. Quantification of Legionella pneumophila by qPCR and Culture in Tap Water with Different Concentrations of Residual Disinfectants and Heterotrophic Bacteria. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 774: 145142, (2021).

The data are from the oven tests and the soil column tests in seven MS Excel spreadsheets. Included are the raw plate and ancillary data used to calculate the number for spores recovered from each soil sample, in colony forming units (CFU). This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wood, J., A. Touati, A. Abdel-Hady, D. Aslett, F. Delafield, W. Calfee, E. Silvestri, S. Serre, L. Mickelsen, C. Tomlinson, and A. Mikelonis. Decontamination of soil contaminated at the surface with Bacillus anthracis spores using dry thermal treatment. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 10, (2020).

Lab-scale testing was used to generate efficacy data, for three non-spore-forming biologicals (VEE, YP, BP), in three different soil types, and three different decontaminants. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Richter, W., M. Sunderman, M.L. Fulton, Z. Willenberg, S. Serre, L. Oudejans, J. Wood, and M. Calfee. Decontamination Efficacy of Common Liquid Disinfectants Against Non-Spore-Forming Biological Agents in Soil Matrices. JOURNAL OF APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY. Blackwell Publishing, Malden, MA, USA, 133(6): 3659-3668, (2022).

전국의 토양시료를 채취 하고 분석 결과를 바탕으로 각 필지별로 작물재배에 필요한 적정 비료량 데이터 제공* 토양분석 (화학적 특성파악) : pH, 유기물, 질소, 인산, 칼륨, 마그네슘, 전기전도도, 규산 등

We designed two new samplers for monitoring airborne particulates, including fungal and fern spores and plant pollen, that rely on natural wind currents (Passive Environmental Sampler) or a battery operated fan (Active Environmental Sampler). Both samplers are modeled after commercial devices such as the Rotorod® and the Burkard® samplers, but are more economical and require less maintenance than commercial devices. We conducted wind tunnel comparisons of our two new samplers to Rotorod® samplers using synthetic polyethylene spheres (12 - 160 µm in diameter) to compare numbers and size range of particulates that are captured by the samplers. This dataset contains raw particle sizes of polyethylene spheres that were captured by the samplers during eight separate trials in a sealed room with constant recirculating air flow.

흙토람 농경지 화학성 데이터는 전국 농경지에서 채취한 토양 시료를 분석하여 산도(pH), 유기물 함량, 유효인산, 치환성 양이온(칼륨, 칼슘, 마그네슘), 양이온치환용량(CEC), 염류농도(EC) 등의 주요 화학적 특성을 제공합니다. 이 데이터는 토양의 비옥도와 양분 상태를 과학적으로 진단하고, 작물별 적정 시비처방 및 토양 환경 개선을 위한 기초자료로 활용됩니다. 또한 지속가능한 농업 실현과 더불어, 토양 산성화·염류집적 등 환경 문제에 대한 대응, 농업 정책 수립, 연구 및 교육 자료로도 폭넓게 사용됩니다.
