Abstract

The quality of the sacred "temizu" water in shrines in Kyoto was surveyed. It was found that the sources of "temizu" were the municipal water supply or domestic wells and that the "temizu" was usually used for washing the hands and mouth, while in certain shrines it was drunk as well. Of 50 visitors responding to questions, 26 persons said that they drank "temizu". In some shrines using the municipal water supply as "temizu", the free residual chlorine concentration was lower than that in the municipal water supply itself. Contamination of "temizu" by Escherichia coli or Aeromonas hydrophila was observed in some shrines.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 July 2020.
All research outputs
#6,313,184
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Nihon eiseigaku zasshi Japanese journal of hygiene
#39
of 241 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#8,495
of 59,481 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nihon eiseigaku zasshi Japanese journal of hygiene
#3
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 241 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 59,481 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
