  • Development, validation and the application of a congener specific photodegradation model for PBDEs

    Creator:
    Zeng, Xia
    Abstract:
    The thermodynamic properties of 39 PBDEs have been calculated using Gaussian 03 on the B3LYP/6-31G(d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The PBDE congeners' enthalpies of formation increase with increasing number of bromines and show a strong dependence on the bromine substitution pattern. The effects of bromine substitution pattern have been quantitatively studied by GAM...

  • Determination of fluorinated alkyl substances in aqueous systems

    Creator:
    Schultz, Melissa M.
    Abstract:
    Fluorinated alkyl substances, which can be persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative, have been quantitated in many densely populated and remote regions, including in air, surface waters, groundwater, and biota; however, little is known about their transport or behavior in the environment. Wastewater effluent is one of the principal routes for introducing...
