Developmental axial skeletal deformities : baseline study with a zebrafish model

Creator:: Harden, Jon M.
Abstract:: The aim of this study was to assess sensitivity of early life stage zebrafish to cadmium (Cd). Embryos and larva were exposed to Cd before the formation of skeletal elements. Exposure times were selected to determine whether Cd perturbed developmental processes that lead to skeletal deformities, and to characterize the...

The design, use and implementation of digital radiation detection and measurement equipment for the purpose of distance instruction

Creator:: Vasquez, David C.
Abstract:: Digital Instrumentation and Detection is becoming the future of radiation detection and measurement. Computers are able to perform digitally what before would have taken an extensive array of analog equipment. The art of teaching radiation detection and measurement is following this same pattern of a shift from purely analog to...

Acceptability of market-based approaches to water management : an analysis of the Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Program

Creator:: Lieberherr, Eva K.
Abstract:: Growing urbanization, shifting water uses, and a focus on ecosystem health in the Deschutes River Basin in Central Oregon led to experimentation with new voluntary market-based approaches to water management in the last decade. To meet groundwater demands while maintaining instream flows and upholding prior water allocations, the Oregon Water...

The potential use of GIS as a tool for communicating risk information to American Indian tribes: A consideration of the ethical implications

Creator:: Lizon, K. Michele
Abstract:: American Indians presently face health risks posed by exposure to environmental pollutants through different exposure routes including: inhalation (e.g., air particles), ingestion (e.g., fish, water), and dermal contact (e.g., contact with water, soil). Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in the Environmental Health arena as a tool for...

Environmental complex mixtures modify benzo[a]pyrene and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene-induced carcinogenesis

Creator:: Courter, Lauren A.
Abstract:: Human exposure to the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is through environmental complex mixtures, such as urban dust particulate matter (UDPM) and diesel exhaust (DE), however the potency of these PAH within a mixture is not established. To determine the effect of these mixtures on...

Exposure and health risk assessment for farmers occupationally exposed to chlorpyrifos in Sri Lanka and drinking water and house dust analysis for chlorpyrifos

Creator:: Aponso, G. Lalith M.
Abstract:: This study was designed to assess chiorpyrifos exposure of a group of farmers by determining internal dose associated with a given application of this insecticide. This involved the monitoring of urinary levels of 3,5,6 trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), the major metabolite of chlorpyrifos. Incidental exposure was evaluated by determining the levels of...

Long-term fertilizer input influences total and bioavailable metal in agricultural soils and crops

Creator:: Pérez, Angela L.
Abstract:: Protection of the quality and integrity of food supplies is of global concern. Crops can accumulate non-nutritive and sometimes toxic metals and metalloids. Accumulated metals/metalloids can come in part, from fertilizers, which may contain variable levels of non-nutritive metals or metalloids such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel...
