Abstract: A method of removing at least one of algae, bacteria, microorganisms, toxins, contaminants, excess nutrients and toxic substances from water, involving placing into or on at least one of the soil and the water a structure comprising an open-cell foam material together with a second material that is configured to adsorb or digest the at least one of algae, bacteria, microorganisms, toxins, contaminants, excess nutrients, and toxic substances, leaving the structure in place for sufficient time to adsorb or digest the at least one of algae, bacteria, microorganisms, toxins, contaminants, excess nutrients, and toxic substances, and then removing the structure from the at least one of the soil and the water.

Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods of killing or preventing growth of one or more biological contaminants and/or pathogens on or in a subject.

Abstract: A method of detecting the presence of one or more chemical contaminants that are present as part of a mixture of chemical contaminants by exposing to a mixture of chemical contaminants, a chemical mixture indicator comprising a polymer foam material that is open-celled or partially open-celled and after a time that is sufficient to accumulate one or more contaminants in the polymer foam, testing some or all of the chemical mixture indicator for the presence of the one or more contaminants.

Abstract: An open-cell foam structure that is impregnated with a disinfectant and used to remove pathogens from air, water, and surfaces, and kill the pathogens.

Abstract: A method of removing nutrients and/or toxic substances from water by placing an open-cell foam material together with a biochar material into the water, leaving the foam and biochar materials in the water for sufficient time to adsorb/absorb at least some of excess nutrients and/or toxic substances present in the water, and then removing from the water the open-cell foam material together with the biochar material.

Abstract: A method of removing from water at least one of algae, bacteria, toxins produced by algae, toxins produced by bacteria, and algae nutrients by placing an open-cell foam material into the water, leaving the material in the water for sufficient time to adsorb/absorb at least one of algae, their toxins, and their nutrients, and then removing the open-cell foam material from the water.

Abstract: A citation system may receive data, including an image, from a handheld photo enforcement unit and issue a citation based on the image with minimal officer input. The citation system manipulates photos to identify license plate numbers involved in an event. The citation system requests identification from a driver database, issues a citation, and forwards the citation according to information from the driver database.

Abstract: A polymer composition for use in the removal and recovery of oil slicks or spills floating on the surfaces of bodies or water or present on land, such as beaches comprising a foam of a blend of polyethylene and an ethylene-alkyl acrylate copolymer and a process for using such foams in the selective removal of oil from fresh water or salt water and the recovery of the absorbed oils from the foams is disclosed. The polymer composition is also for use in other applications in which absorption of liquids is desired.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for capturing a contaminant present in a body of water that includes a collection media for capturing the contaminant and a structure. The collection media has a first end secured to the structure. The collection media has a second buoyant end disposed opposite the first end wherein buoyant end is a free end. The structure does not float at the water surface and holds the first end of the collection media below the buoyant second end in the water column. When the apparatus is deployed in a water column having a depth greater than the height of the apparatus, the apparatus is selectively positioned in the water column at a desired height. A method of employing the collection media is also disclosed.
