The current work sought to develop predictive
models between time-weighted average polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in the freely dissolved
phase and those present in resident aquatic organisms. We
deployed semipermeable membrane passive sampling devices
(SPMDs) and collected resident crayfish (Pacifastacus
leniusculus) at nine locations within and outside of the...

Driven by major scientific advances in analytical methods, biomonitoring, computation, and a newly articulated vision for a greater impact in public health, the field of exposure science is undergoing a rapid transition from a field of observation to a field of prediction. Deployment of an organizational and predictive framework for...
Although it is known that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be found in smoked meats, little is known about their prevalence in Native American smoked fish. In this work, the effect of traditional Native American fish smoking methods on dietary exposure to PAHs and possible risks to human health has...
Active-sampling approaches are commonly used for
personal monitoring, but are limited by energy usage and data that may
not represent an individual’s exposure or bioavailable concentrations.
Current passive techniques often involve extensive preparation, or are
developed for only a small number of targeted compounds. In this work,
we present a...

Natural gas extraction, often referred to as “fracking,” has increased rapidly in the U.S. in recent years. To address potential health impacts, passive air samplers were deployed in a rural community heavily affected by the natural gas boom. Samplers were analyzed for 62 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Results were grouped...
