  • Advances in Passive Sampling : Measuring Chemical Transport and Human Exposures

    Creator:
    Donald, Carey E.
    Abstract:
    Passive sampling devices have been used for decades to measure complex mixtures of bioavailable organic chemicals in a variety of environmental media. More recently passive sampler applications have expanded beyond monitoring chemical concentrations, and this dissertation continues to advance methods of passive sampling on many fronts. Despite their growing use,...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Human Exposure to PAHs in Air, Water, and Crayfish

    Creator:
    Paulik, L. Blair
    Abstract:
    There are many links between exposure to environmental pollution and risks to human health. While advances in the fields of toxicology, exposure science, and environmental chemistry have shown light on many of these links, many more research challenges remain. One major challenge is how to accurately characterize the toxicity of...
