I. Isolation of certain toxic components of kraft mill waste and attempts to determine their structure. ; II. Studies of the mechanism of the cope rearrangement of 1,2-divinyl-1, 2-cyclohexanediol

Creator:: Banks, Richard Charles
Abstract:: PART I. A chemical examination of the materials toxic to fish in kraft pulp mill wastes has been made as part of a water pollution study. Thirty gallons of "foul condensate" from a typical kraft mill gave 14 g of organic material when extracted with methylene chloride, and an additional...

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...

Atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semi-volatile organic compounds to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State

Creator:: Killin, Robert K.
Abstract:: Ambient high-volume (hi-vol) air samples were collected between March 15th and May 30th 2002, at Cheeka Peak Observatory (CPO), located on the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington State. This sampling campaign was in conjunction with the 2002 Inter-Continental Transport and Chemical Transformation (ITCT 2K2) Campaign and the Photochemical Ozone...

Semi-volatile fluorinated organic compounds in Asian and Pacific Northwestern U.S. air masses

Creator:: Piekarz, Arkadiusz M.
Abstract:: Current studies suggest that perfluorinated organic compounds, such as fluorotelomer alcohols (FtOHs) in the troposphere, may be precursors of perfluorocarboxylic acids and perfluorosulfonates in remote regions. Fluorinated organic compounds were investigated in archived extracts collected from remote locations in Okinawa, Japan (HSO) and Mount Bachelor, Oregon (MBO) during the springs...

Trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds in the western U.S.

Creator:: Primbs, Toby
Abstract:: The atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) from Asian sources to the Western U.S. was investigated. In addition, the SOC extraction method was optimized. Hansen solubility parameter plots were used to aid in the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) solvent selection of air sampling media in order to minimize...

Comparison between lichen, conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling devices (PASDs), and snow to monitor semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere

Creator:: Schrlau, Jill E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to compare four different media that were used to monitor SOC atmospheric concentrations in remote ecosystems. The accumulation of semi-volatile organic compounds, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was investigated in lichen, 2-year old conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling...

Semi-volatile organic compounds as molecular markers for atmospheric and ecosystem transport

Creator:: Genualdi, Susan A.
Abstract:: The use of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) as molecular markers to identify the contributions of regional and long-range atmospheric transport, as well as current and historic sources, and contaminant deposition in remote ecosystems of the Western U.S. was investigated. Trans-Pacific air masses influenced by Siberian biomass burning events had elevated...

The atmospheric chemistry of particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : concentration, prediction, laboratory studies, and mutagenicity

Creator:: Jariyasopit, Narumol
Abstract:: The trans-Pacific atmospheric transport of particulate matter (PM)-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to remote sites in western North America has been well documented and has triggered research questions regarding to atmospheric transformation of PM-bound PAHs and the potential impacts on human health from their inhalation exposure. In this dissertation, field...

Relative influence of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA

Creator:: Lafontaine, Scott
Abstract:: The relative influences of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport on measured concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PAH derivatives [Nitro- (NPAH) and Oxy-(OPAH)], organic carbon (OC), and Particulate Matter (PM) less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM₂.₅) were investigated in the Pacific Northwest, USA in 2010-2011. Ambient high volume PM₂.₅...

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...
