Construction and evaluation of an airshed-episode model for air resource management

Creator:: Reiquam, Howard Edward, 1931-
Abstract:: A mathematical model of the atmosphere in an airshed is developed, which relates pollutant source distributions and intensities to the volume of air available for dispersion and to pollutant concentrations or air quality standards. It can be used as a tool for obtaining an answer to an air resource management...

Airborne sampling of particles emitted to the atmosphere from Kraft paper mill processes and their characterization by electron microscopy

Creator:: Augustine, Frank Edward
Abstract:: A high volume sampling system, employing Nuclepore filters and designed for sampling particulate in the plumes from industrial sources using a light aircraft, is described. The effluent of kraft paper mills was sampled using this system and then analyzed by electron microscopy. Size distributions of particles were obtained at several...

Atmospheric trace elements and their application in tracing air pollution

Creator:: Shum, Yin-Sang
Abstract:: The atmospheric trace element abundances associated with several major sources of air pollution in Western Oregon, such as the paper industry, the metallurgical processing industry, the plywood industry and agricultural field burning have been measured by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). Air samples were collected directly from industrial stacks and...

Costs of alternative pollution control policies affecting open field burning in the Willamette Valley of Oregon : a study in measurement

Creator:: Brar, Jagjit Singh
Abstract:: Open field burning is the lowest-cost method of harvest residue disposal used extensively by grass seed producers in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The beneficial effects of open field burning include effective disease control and increased seed yields. However, smoke produced by open burning in the late summer pollutes valley...

Bioindication of air quality in forests of northern and central California using epiphytic macrolichen communities

Creator:: Jovan, Sarah
Abstract:: The unifying purpose of this dissertation was to describe, model, and map relationships between epiphvtic macrolichen communities and air quality in Ibrests of northern and central California. First, multivariate analyses were used to subdivide the large study area into three model areas with similar climate, topography, and lichen communities: the...

Beyond the 16 EPA priority pollutant PAHs : environmental characterizations of oxygenated PAHs and dibenzopyrene isomers

Creator:: Layshock, Julie
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with a molecular weight (MW) of 302 and oxygenated-PAHs (OPAHs) have demonstrated toxicity beyond that of frequently monitored and known carcinogenic PAHs. Airborne particulate matter (PM) was characterized for MW 302 isomers to evaluate risk and air quality indices and OPAHs in order to fill data...

Use of Targeted and Non-Targeted Analysis to Study Complex PAH Environmental Mixtures

Creator:: Chibwe, Leah
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants formed from the incomplete combustion of organic material. These contaminants are of concern because of their widespread presence in the environment and toxic properties. In addition, PAHs encompass a class of diverse compounds with varying physicochemical properties and exist in the environment as...

Lichen response to the environment and forest structure in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Martin, Erin P.
Abstract:: Lichens are an important part of the biota in western Oregon forests, where they perform valuable ecological roles and contribute significantly to biodiversity. Lichens in western Oregon are threatened by a number of factors including air pollution and land use practices. If we wish to maintain the persistence of lichens...
