Examination of Multiple Air Pollutant Exposure, the Food Environment, and Low Birth Weight in Los Angeles, County

Creator:

Coker, Eric S.

Abstract:

Exposure to urban outdoor air pollution is ubiquitous and low birth weight represents an important health disparity in the United States. While previous research suggests that exposure to outdoor air pollutants are associated with term low birth weight, few studies have evaluated the effects of multipollutant outdoor air exposures or...

New Applications for Passive Samplers : In-situ Flux and Risk Assessment of Legacy and Emerging Contaminants

Creator:

Tidwell, Lane G.

Abstract:

Passive sampling devices (PSDs) were used to measure air vapor and water dissolved phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs) at two different environmentally contaminated sites. Environmental contaminates like PAHs and OPAHs are present in both the atmospheric and aqueous environmental compartments. It is known that...
