Abstract:: Volatile loss rates of pesticides from turfgrass were measured using the Backward-Time Lagrangian Stochastic Dispersion model (Flesch et al., 1995). Solar radiation, ambient temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, and wind speed were monitored continuously. Growth regulator was applied to the turf plot several days before pesticide application to...

Creator:: Buchwalter, David B.
Abstract:: Aquatic insects are used extensively to evaluate water quality. Despite their widespread use as indicator organisms, relatively little is known about the organismal characteristics that determine sensitivity differences to individual and multiple stressors. Insects have evolved several respiratory strategies that range from breathing atmospheric air to utilizing dissolved oxygen in...

Creator:: Aponso, G. Lalith M.
Abstract:: This study was designed to assess chiorpyrifos exposure of a group of farmers by determining internal dose associated with a given application of this insecticide. This involved the monitoring of urinary levels of 3,5,6 trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), the major metabolite of chlorpyrifos. Incidental exposure was evaluated by determining the levels of...

Creator:: Bailey, Bonnie J.
Abstract:: Reported here is an investigation to determine if azinphos-methyl (AZM), an organophosphate insecticide, adducts to hemoglobin, and if so, whether the hemoglobin adduct could be used as a quantitative marker of occupational AZM exposure. We hypothesized that AZM, or a metabolite of AZM, binds to hemoglobin in erythrocytes forming an...

Creator:: Sandahl, Jason
Abstract:: The purpose of this work was to determine if environmentally-relevant concentrations of chlorpyrifos and copper, two commonly detected chemicals in Western surface waters, can negatively impact the biological health of salmonids. Both compounds are highly neurotoxic to fish, but each with distinct biological target sites and mechanisms of action. We...
