  • Development of innovative applications for passive sampling devices : monitoring bioavailability, risk from exposure and environmental mixture toxicity

    Creator:
    Allan, Sarah E.
    Abstract:
    Chemicals must be bioavailable for there to be a potential for exposure and consequent risk to human or environmental health. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) are used to quantify the time-integrated concentration of bioavailable contaminants. We demonstrate that PSDs can be paired with the zebrafish developmental toxicity bioassay to produce site-specific,...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • Advancement of Passive Sampling Applications for Assessing Contaminant Transport, Bioaccumulation, and Toxicity

    Creator:
    Minick, David J.
    Abstract:
    In the environment, it is the unbound fraction of chemical (Cfree) which is able to diffuse across environmental interfaces and biological membranes. It is therefore Cfree which drives many important biological-environmental processes including contaminant transport, bioaccumulation and toxicity. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) offer a simplified and more accurate approach for...

  • 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...
