  • Implications for Wildfire Health Recommendations and Remediation Strategies: Source, Fate and Risk of PAHs

    Creator:
    Ghetu, Christine, C.
    Abstract:
    (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) PAHs are widespread in the environment, and are derived from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The physicochemical properties of PAHs along with the wide range of PAH sources leads to their persistence in the environment. Since PAHs are ubiquitous, and have the potential to illicit adverse effects,...

  • New applications and emerging contaminants : developing silicone passive sampling devices for environmental and novel monitoring applications

    Creator:
    O'Connell, Steven G.
    Abstract:
    Passive sampling is a popular technology for environmental monitoring, and silicone is an ideal choice for a variety of passive sampling applications. The silicone work described here encompasses laboratory and field studies that demonstrate the use of this polymer in novel environments, for new applications, and for emerging compounds. Unique...

  • 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...

  • ‘Tis a Gift to be Simple : On Passive Sampling and Compatible Techniques for Reducing the Complexity of Environmental Mixtures

    Creator:
    Bergmann, Alan J.
    Abstract:
    Assessing the risk from exposure to a chemical mixture in the environment can seem prohibitively challenging. Most components of the mixture are not readily identifiable, chemicals may interact to cause other-than-additive toxicity, and the number of potential combinations of environmental contaminants is enormous. These challenges can make it seem impossible...

  • 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,...
