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,...

Beyond the 16 EPA priority pollutant PAHs : environmental characterizations of oxygenated PAHs and dibenzopyrene isomers

Creator:: Layshock, Julie
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with a molecular weight (MW) of 302 and oxygenated-PAHs (OPAHs) have demonstrated toxicity beyond that of frequently monitored and known carcinogenic PAHs. Airborne particulate matter (PM) was characterized for MW 302 isomers to evaluate risk and air quality indices and OPAHs in order to fill data...

From pesticide degradation products to legacy toxicants and emerging contaminants : novel analytical methods, approaches, and modeling

Creator:: Forsberg, Norman D.
Abstract:: Environmental toxicologists and public health officials are responsible for assisting in the identification, management, and mitigation of public health hazards. As a result, there is a continued need for robust analytical tools that can aid in the rapid quantification and characterization of chemical exposure. In the first research phase, we...

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,...

The identification and quantitation of complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures in environmental samples using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Creator:: Manzano, Carlos A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants and are mostly products of the incomplete combustion of organic material. PAHs are often found in environmental samples as a complex mixture of isomers. In addition, the same sources that produce complex PAH mixtures also produce other poorly characterized mixtures of organic compounds,...

Relative influence of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA

Creator:: Lafontaine, Scott
Abstract:: The relative influences of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport on measured concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PAH derivatives [Nitro- (NPAH) and Oxy-(OPAH)], organic carbon (OC), and Particulate Matter (PM) less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM₂.₅) were investigated in the Pacific Northwest, USA in 2010-2011. Ambient high volume PM₂.₅...

Utilization of the Zebrafish Model for Investigating Nitrated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Developmental Toxicity

Creator:: Chlebowski, Anna C.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most widely known and studied environmental contaminants, originating from a range of natural and anthropogenic sources. PAHs are known to occur in the environment as complex mixtures, containing both unsubstituted PAHs, as well as a range of PAH derivatives. Among the less-studied of...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Atmospheric Fine Particulate Matter: Beyond the Priority Pollutant List

Creator:: Kramer, Amber L.
Abstract:: Atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been linked to the death of 7 million people per year around the planet. The organic portion of PM2.5 is responsible for increases in oxidative stress, inflammation, mutation and carcinogenesis. Anthropogenic activity releases more organic material into the atmosphere, and has increased the amount...

Identification, Quantification, and Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and their Derivatives in Soil after Steam Enhanced Extraction

Creator:: Santiago Delgado, Lisandra
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental contaminants produced mainly from the incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of organic matter. PAHs are among the major contaminants at over 800 Superfund sites, nationwide. Thermal remediation is used as a method to remediate soils contaminated with PAHs through the use of heat to mobilize...

Tracking semi-volatile organic pollutants in remote lake systems

Creator:: Usenko, Sascha
Abstract:: SOCs volatility and persistence properties cause many SOCs to become ubiquitous in the environment as well as accumulate in areas with lower temperatures such as polar or orographic regions. Many anthropogenic SOCs pose a serious risk to human and ecosystem health because of their persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic properties in...
