Creator:: Perkins, Matt J.
Abstract:: Large quantities of the chemical oil dispersant Corexit were applied in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Large data gaps regarding the potential transport, persistence and impact of Corexit in the Gulf existed at the time of the emergency response. Analytical methods for...

Creator:: Evans, Allison N.
Abstract:: Thiamine (vitamin B₁) is required by all living organisms for carbohydrate metabolism and synthesis of amino acids. Thiamine deficiency is responsible for several related classes of early life stage mortality disorders in salmonines, including Thiamine Deficiency Complex (TDC) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, Cayuga Syndrome in the Finger Lakes, and...

Creator:: Paulik, L. Blair
Abstract:: There are many links between exposure to environmental pollution and risks to human health. While advances in the fields of toxicology, exposure science, and environmental chemistry have shown light on many of these links, many more research challenges remain. One major challenge is how to accurately characterize the toxicity of...

Creator:: Minick, David J.
Abstract:: In the environment, it is the unbound fraction of chemical (Cfree) which is able to diffuse across environmental interfaces and biological membranes. It is therefore Cfree which drives many important biological-environmental processes including contaminant transport, bioaccumulation and toxicity. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) offer a simplified and more accurate approach for...

Creator:: Poutasse, Carolyn M.
Abstract:: Silicone wristbands are passive sampling devices (PSD) that sequester bioavailable organic chemicals in the environment. In environmental health studies, silicone wristbands are easy to wear and can provide personal exposure data about complex chemical mixtures. This dissertation includes an overview of PSD technology, a literature review of current wristband research...
