Enhancing Protocols to Improve Consistency Across Nanotoxicology Studies

Creator:

Luker, Sabrina R.

Abstract:

In current nanotoxicology research, there is a lack of standardization in reporting of zebrafish exposure media and sonication practices. This lack of standardization in use and reporting methods has made reproducing nanoparticle (NP) toxicity results between labs a common issue. It is important to have a standardized way of reporting...

Toxicity and Mutagenicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Contaminated Soils using Mammalian In Vitro Assay

Creator:

Luker, George W.

Abstract:

There exists a growing need to establish a better in vitro model for evaluating PAH toxicity and carcinogenicity and to improve assessments of risk to human health, especially to the complex mixtures that exist in the environment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants due to the incomplete combustion...

Biotic and Abiotic Factors Affecting the Presence of Beneficial Insects on Oregon Christmas Tree Farms

Creator:

Cain, Alyssa B.

Abstract:

Beneficial insects could provide valuable pest control services on Oregon Christmas tree farms, but a limited amount of data exist that quantifies the type and abundance of beneficial insects on farms. This study surveyed beneficial insects on two farms that differed in their management strategies as well as other abiotic...
