Creator:: Usenko, Sascha
Abstract:: SOCs volatility and persistence properties cause many SOCs to become ubiquitous in the environment as well as accumulate in areas with lower temperatures such as polar or orographic regions. Many anthropogenic SOCs pose a serious risk to human and ecosystem health because of their persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic properties in...

Creator:: Kramer, Amber L.
Abstract:: Atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been linked to the death of 7 million people per year around the planet. The organic portion of PM2.5 is responsible for increases in oxidative stress, inflammation, mutation and carcinogenesis. Anthropogenic activity releases more organic material into the atmosphere, and has increased the amount...

Creator:: Motorykin, Oleksii
Abstract:: In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...

Creator:: Walsh, Christopher D.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to assess the variability of POP deposition by snow on a 10 km spatial scale by measuring the POP concentrations in fresh-fallen snow from remote alpine sites. Samples of pre-metamorphic snow were concurrently collected from three remote alpine sites, of matched altitude and exposure,...

Creator:: Manzano, Carlos A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants and are mostly products of the incomplete combustion of organic material. PAHs are often found in environmental samples as a complex mixture of isomers. In addition, the same sources that produce complex PAH mixtures also produce other poorly characterized mixtures of organic compounds,...
