Trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds in the western U.S.

Creator:

Primbs, Toby

Abstract:

The atmospheric transport of anthropogenic semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) from Asian sources to the Western U.S. was investigated. In addition, the SOC extraction method was optimized. Hansen solubility parameter plots were used to aid in the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) solvent selection of air sampling media in order to minimize...

Assessing mechanisms of immunotoxicity for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:

Bravo, Claudia F.

Abstract:

During the past 30 years, numerous studies have focused on the toxicities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Laboratory and field studies have helped elucidate the detrimental effects of these chemicals on growth, reproduction and immune response. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are in the priority list of chemicals to be studied by...

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : global cancer risk and metabolism

Creator:

Motorykin, Oleksii

Abstract:

In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...
