‘Tis a Gift to be Simple : On Passive Sampling and Compatible Techniques for Reducing the Complexity of Environmental Mixtures

Creator:

Bergmann, Alan J.

Abstract:

Assessing the risk from exposure to a chemical mixture in the environment can seem prohibitively challenging. Most components of the mixture are not readily identifiable, chemicals may interact to cause other-than-additive toxicity, and the number of potential combinations of environmental contaminants is enormous. These challenges can make it seem impossible...

Passive samplers accurately predict PAH levels in resident crayfish

Creator:

Paulik, L. Blair, Smith, Brian W., Bergmann, Alan J., Sower, Greg J., Forsberg, Norman D., Teeguarden, Justin G., and Anderson, Kim A.

Abstract:

Contamination of resident aquatic organisms is a major concern for environmental risk assessors. However, collecting organisms to estimate risk is often prohibitively time and resource-intensive. Passive sampling accurately estimates resident organism contamination, and it saves time and resources. This study used low density polyethylene (LDPE) passive water samplers to predict...
