  • Synthesis, characterization, and analysis of nitroaromatic compounds

    Creator:
    McIntosh, Melissa Luana
    Abstract:
    Nitroaromatic compounds have important chemical applications and can be found in nature as pollution sources. Synthetic nitroaromatic compounds have been used in a variety of materials including explosives, pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticides. These compounds can find their way into the environment through normal or improper disposal methods. Poly-aromatic compounds...

  • Remediation of atrazine in irrigation runoff by a constructed wetland

    Creator:
    Runes, Heather B.
    Abstract:
    Due to its frequent use in agriculture and its frequent detection in surface water, atrazine was chosen as a model compound to study the treatment capability of a surface flow wetland used to remediate irrigation runoff at a container nursery near Portland, Oregon. Further evaluation of treatment of atrazine was...

  • Prediction and Measurement of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Transformation Products in the Environment.

    Creator:
    Titaley, Ivan A.
    Abstract:
    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of environmental contaminants consisting of fused benzene rings. Parent-PAHs, methylated-PAHs (MPAHs), and PAHs with molecular weight of 302 a.m.u (MW302-PAHs) are considered as unsubstituted-PAHs. These unsubstituted-PAHs undergo transformation reactions resulting in the formation of PAH-transformation products (PAH-TPs), or substituted-PAHs, including nitrated-, oxygenated-, and...

  • 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...
