  • Applications of Silicone Wristbands to Improve Personal Chemical Exposure Assessment

    Creator:
    Dixon, Holly M.
    Abstract:
    Silicone wristbands are easy-to-wear passive samplers that have been readily adapted into environmental health studies since first reported in 2014. Wristbands can be worn during normal daily activities and sequester a wide range of bioavailable organic chemicals. This dissertation includes a thorough review of silicone wristband technology, as well as...

  • New Configurations of Silicone Passive Sampling Devices: Quantifying Feline and Firefighter Chemical Exposures

    Creator:
    Poutasse, Carolyn M.
    Abstract:
    Silicone wristbands are passive sampling devices (PSD) that sequester bioavailable organic chemicals in the environment. In environmental health studies, silicone wristbands are easy to wear and can provide personal exposure data about complex chemical mixtures. This dissertation includes an overview of PSD technology, a literature review of current wristband research...

  • New Applications for Passive Samplers : In-situ Flux and Risk Assessment of Legacy and Emerging Contaminants

    Creator:
    Tidwell, Lane G.
    Abstract:
    Passive sampling devices (PSDs) were used to measure air vapor and water dissolved phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs) at two different environmentally contaminated sites. Environmental contaminates like PAHs and OPAHs are present in both the atmospheric and aqueous environmental compartments. It is known that...

  • Exploring Silicone Wristbands as Personal Passive Sampling Devices in a Disaster Scenario

    Creator:
    Samon, Samantha M.
    Abstract:
    Exposure assessment is necessary to determine the frequency and magnitude of environmental contaminants, especially since exposure may lead to adverse health outcomes. Traditional personal exposure assessment tools such as biological samples are limited in their ability to capture a wide range of chemical exposures from a single sample, and others...
