Beyond the 16 EPA priority pollutant PAHs : environmental characterizations of oxygenated PAHs and dibenzopyrene isomers

Creator:: Layshock, Julie
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with a molecular weight (MW) of 302 and oxygenated-PAHs (OPAHs) have demonstrated toxicity beyond that of frequently monitored and known carcinogenic PAHs. Airborne particulate matter (PM) was characterized for MW 302 isomers to evaluate risk and air quality indices and OPAHs in order to fill data...

Essays on land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China

Creator:: Li, Man
Abstract:: China has experienced rapid economic growth in the last twenty years, accompanied by large-scale land conversion, severe environmental degradation, and rising carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Designing policies for sustainable development requires a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between economic growth, land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China. This dissertation...

Response of marine stratus to successive polluting events by ships

Creator:: Sechrist, B.
Abstract:: Ship tracks have proven to be an ideal laboratory for studying the response of marine stratocumulus to an increase in aerosol pollution. Here the response of already polluted marine stratocumulus to further pollution was examined by studying the clouds where two ship tracks cross. 78 crossings of ship tracks were...

Essays on location decisions and carbon sequestration strategies of U.S. firms

Creator:: Wu, Caiwen
Abstract:: Location is a critical component of business decisions. A firm's location decision may be influenced not only by market forces, such as the location of input suppliers, output processors and competitors, but also by government policies if such policies impact their expected profits and are applied non-uniformly across space. Likewise,...

The atmospheric chemistry of particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : concentration, prediction, laboratory studies, and mutagenicity

Creator:: Jariyasopit, Narumol
Abstract:: The trans-Pacific atmospheric transport of particulate matter (PM)-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to remote sites in western North America has been well documented and has triggered research questions regarding to atmospheric transformation of PM-bound PAHs and the potential impacts on human health from their inhalation exposure. In this dissertation, field...

Effects of fiber electrostatic cling and moisture regain on Timothy grass pollen attraction

Creator:: Vaughn, Reyna J.
Abstract:: People will spend a large amount of their lifetime indoors where the air is filled with both indoor and outdoor allergens. Exposure to allergens can have a range of effects on the health of building occupants. Textiles make up a vast majority of the surfaces, such as draperies, sofas, pillows,...

Spatial and temporal effects of atmospheric deposition, climate, and land management on forest nutrient cycling and biodiversity

Creator:: McDonnell, Todd C.
Abstract:: Emissions largely associated with the combustion of fossil fuels and agriculture has caused elevated atmospheric deposition of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) throughout much of the developed world. Increased atmospheric deposition of N and S can lead to soil and surface water acidification and affect forest soil nutrient supply. The...

Adapting computer science technologies to bridge critical gaps in proposed Tox21 risk assessment programs

Creator:: Larkin, Andrew
Abstract:: In 2004 the National Toxicology Program published an article describing their intent to pursue toxicology testing and risk assessment practices solely reliant on high throughput in vitro datasets and in silico modeling for dose-response assessments. Support and contributions form regulatory agencies and a significant portion of the life sciences community...

Yosemite region nitrogen deposition and patterns in the composition of lichen communities

Creator:: Hutten, Martin
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition along a nitrogen deposition gradient in the Yosemite region of the Sierra Nevada in California. This region is part of the largest federal air quality Class 1 designated air-shed in the western United States, covering the entire crest of the Sierra...

Relative influence of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA

Creator:: Lafontaine, Scott
Abstract:: The relative influences of trans-Pacific and regional atmospheric transport on measured concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PAH derivatives [Nitro- (NPAH) and Oxy-(OPAH)], organic carbon (OC), and Particulate Matter (PM) less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM₂.₅) were investigated in the Pacific Northwest, USA in 2010-2011. Ambient high volume PM₂.₅...
