A large outbreak of Legionnaires’ Disease in an industrial town in Portugal

Background: We describe the investigation and control of an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in Portugal in October, November and December 2014. Methods: Confirmed cases were individuals with pneumonia, laboratory evidence of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 and exposure, by residence, occupational or leisure tothe affected municipalities. 49 possible sources were reduced to four potential sources, all industries with wet cooling system, following risk assessment. We geo-referenced cases’ residences and the location of cooling towers defining four study areas 10 km buffer centeredon each cooling tower system. We compared the number of cases with expected numbers,calculated from the outbreak’s attack rates applied to 2011 census population. Using Stones’Test, we tested observed to expected ratios for decline in risk, with distance up to 10 km fourdirections. Isolates of Legionella pneumophila were compared using molecular methods

Geotechnical and Geological Characterization and Ambient Vibration Study of Shallow Geological Units in Barreiro and Setúbal Areas (Portugal)

AbstractBarreiro and Setúbal are two regions located within the Metropolitan Area of Lisboa (Portugal) that may suffer from high losses due to earthquake occurrence. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationships between the geological and geotechnical properties of the shallower units with horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (H/V), lookingfor potential side effects. The geotechnical characterization was based on the analysis of 4064 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) compiled in 676 boreholes of 96 geotechnical reports. Fundamental (F0) and predominant (F1) frequencies and corresponding amplitude peaks were obtained with 249 ambient vibration records carried out with a Güralp CMG 6TD broadband station. Data regarding SPT, thickness of surface units (Holocene), depths of the substrate (Pliocene and Miocene), F0 and F1 and respective amplitude peaks were analysed. The thickness of Barreiro Holocene (anthropogenic and alluvial deposits) was related to F0, F1 and SPT values. The spatial distribution of F0 and F1 allowed the definition of two surfaces.The first one corresponds to the boundary between the Holocene and the Pliocene (4-32 m deep) and the second one to the boundary between the Pliocene and the Miocene (250 m deep). Three areas prone to seismic amplification with frequencies between 2.5 to 8Hz were identified. In Setúbal, it was not possible to establish a relationship between the thickness of the surface units and F0 and F1

Seismic site effects in Setúbal county (Portugal) using REMI technique

We wish to thank colleagues who helped during the field work: Afonso Loureiro, Andrés Gago, Carlos Graça, Inês Bruno, Joana Carvalho, João Bonacho, João Brissos, Luísa Rodrigues, Mónica Cabral and Pedro Rodrigues. We would also like to thank Daniel Vendas and all companies that provided geological and geotechnical data, as well as to the Setúbal Fire-Brigade and the Setúbal Municipal Civil Protection Service for all the support provided during this investigation. We wish to thank also to IDL – Instituto Dom Luiz, University of Lisbon for providing the equipment to carry out the ReMi tests.Setúbal is a county located in the Lisbon metropolitan area (Portugal) which has been hit by historical earthquakes that were responsible for high social and economic losses. The 1858 earthquake, with an epicentre located offshore just south of the Setúbal region, is a good example of an earthquake that caused high damage (IX-VIII MM) in this county. The main city of the region is Setúbal itself, an important and populated urban agglomeration with several industrial facilities very close by. The old city centre is mostly settled upon shallow geological units and taking into consideration the historical seismicity, it is important to examine the possible site effects that could occur during future earthquakes affecting the Setúbal region. The objectives of this study are therefore the characterisation of the seismic behaviour of Setubal's shallow geological formations and the evaluation of potential site effects. Shear wave velocity profiles were computed with the Refraction Microtremor (ReMi) method, spatial distribution of VS30 values was estimated and a map with the VS30 classification of soils according to the EC8 was produced. Spatial distributions of different data are presented and discussed:VS30 values, thickness of the shallow formations, top Pliocene surface, and results from Standard Penetration Tests (NSPT values). Numerical correlations between these parameters were established. Geotechnical characterisation was based on the analysis of 307 logs and 2950 Standard Penetration Tests. A total of 266 refraction microtremor measurements were performed obtaining VS profiles and VS30 values for 43 different sites. It was found that in Setúbal the majority of t heHolocene units belong to EC8 class C (180–360 m/s) but, in the areas where the thickness of shallow formations (TSF) is lower, the Holocene units may belong to class B (> 360 m/s). The spatial distribution of VS30 highlighted that the Plio Pleistocene, Miocene and Mesozoic areas show the best soil conditions corresponding to EC8 classes B and A. However, it was possible to identify a Plio Pleistocene area with VS30 varying between 232 and 355 m/s, therefore belonging to class C. This fact highlights that site effects studies should not be performed solely based on geological criteria, but it is essential to estimate S wave velocities (VS) in situpublishersversionpublishe
