New Applications for Passive Samplers : In-situ Flux and Risk Assessment of Legacy and Emerging Contaminants

Creator:

Tidwell, Lane G.

Abstract:

Passive sampling devices (PSDs) were used to measure air vapor and water dissolved phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs) at two different environmentally contaminated sites. Environmental contaminates like PAHs and OPAHs are present in both the atmospheric and aqueous environmental compartments. It is known that...

Development and application of a new passive sampling device : the lipid-free tube (LFT) sampler

Creator:

Quarles, Lucas W.

Abstract:

Contaminants can exist in a wide range of states in aqueous environments, especially in surface waters. They can be freely dissolved or associated with dissolved or particulate organic matter depending on their chemical and physical characteristics. The freely dissolved fraction represents the most bioavailable fraction to an organism. These freely...

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...
