Examining the Environmental Behavior and Treatment Efficacy of Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials in Complex Systems

Creator:: Deline, Alyssa R.
Abstract:: Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) are manufactured at the greatest rate of any class of nanomaterial due to their wide variety of industrial, commercial, and environmental applications. The sustainable use of MONPs requires a balance of careful consideration of their potential negative environmental impacts with the effective exploitation of their unique...

Statistical analysis and speciation modeling of copper in Oregon highway runoff

Creator:: Bloomquist, Don J.
Abstract:: Low levels of copper have been shown to impair the olfactory system of threatened and endangered (T&E) salmon, decreasing their predator avoidance behavior and likely increasing mortality. However, only dissolved copper (dissCu) present as the cupric ion (Cu2+) and weakly complexed species are truly bioavailable. Previous studies indicate the vast...

The Influence of Engineered Surface Coatings on Nanoparticle Aggregation and Corona Formation: Examinations in Simulated and Real Aquatic Media

Creator:: Surette, Mark C.
Abstract:: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are small anthropogenic colloids with at least one length dimension <100 nanometers. Due to the nature of their use, ENMs are being increasingly released to the environment. Yet the environmental risks posed by ENMs are unknown due to a variety challenges, including limitations with detecting and quantifying...

Evaluation of copper removal from stormwater runoff using compost and Apatite II™

Creator:: Silvertooth, Jason R.
Abstract:: Low concentrations of dissolved copper have proven to be harmful to a number of aquatic organisms, with recent research highlighting detrimental effects to endangered salmonid species. Stormwater runoff can represent a significant source of copper to surface waters, necessitating cost-effective alternatives to current stormwater best management practices (BMPs). This study...

Evaluation of Apatite II™ for removal of copper and zinc from highway stormwater runoff : laboratory and field experiments

Creator:: Provolt, Justin J.
Abstract:: Current best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater treatment are not able to adequately remove heavy metals to levels which do not adversely affect aquatic life. Copper is commonly found in highway stormwater runoff, with the primary source being brake pad wear. Copper is of particular concern due to inhibitory effects...

The assessment of copper and zinc removal from highway stormwater runoff using Apatite II™

Creator:: Huang, Hsiao-Wen
Abstract:: Copper and zinc are heavy metals commonly present in highway stormwater runoff. Discharge of these metals to surface waters inhabited by sensitive aquatic species including threatened and endangered salmonids has necessitated the need for improved treatment techniques. Although copper is of the greater toxicological concern, zinc is often present at...

Natural Organic Matter Surface Coverage as a Predictor of Heteroaggregation between Nanoparticles and Colloids

Creator:: Oney, Dylan M.
Abstract:: Heteroaggregation of nanoparticles with naturally occurring colloids has been shown to be an important process in nanoparticle fate and transport in the aquatic environment. The advent of a functional assay to measure heteroaggregation attachment efficiencies has opened the door for further mechanistic studies. It is well known that natural organic...

Eco-corona formation and impact on environmentally relevant micro- and nanoplastics

Creator:: McColley, Campbell J.
Abstract:: Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter. These contaminants are increasingly found in the environment due to increased plastic production, use, and improper disposal. Detecting and measuring these contaminants in the environment has proven difficult, requiring the use of fate and transport models to assess MP...

Copper Speciation in Wastewater-Impacted Surface Waters

Creator:: Mosbrucker, Ariel M.
Abstract:: This study investigates the relationship between total and ionic copper in samples taken from the Tualatin River and wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) that discharge into the Tualatin River. Copper speciation was analyzed by determining conditional stability constants and densities of copper binding ligands on the dissolved organic matter (DOM) in...

Heteroaggregation between citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles and hematite colloids : mechanisms and quantification of nanoparticle-colloid interactions

Creator:: Smith, Brian M.
Abstract:: Understanding the aggregation behavior of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in aqueous environments is essential to understanding their fate, transport, and toxicity. Because naturally occurring colloids will likely be present at much higher concentrations than ENMs in environmental systems, heteroaggregation and attachment with these natural colloids could significantly influence ENM fate and...
