Prediction and Measurement of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Transformation Products in the Environment.

Creator:: Titaley, Ivan A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of environmental contaminants consisting of fused benzene rings. Parent-PAHs, methylated-PAHs (MPAHs), and PAHs with molecular weight of 302 a.m.u (MW302-PAHs) are considered as unsubstituted-PAHs. These unsubstituted-PAHs undergo transformation reactions resulting in the formation of PAH-transformation products (PAH-TPs), or substituted-PAHs, including nitrated-, oxygenated-, and...

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...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Atmospheric Fine Particulate Matter: Beyond the Priority Pollutant List

Creator:: Kramer, Amber L.
Abstract:: Atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been linked to the death of 7 million people per year around the planet. The organic portion of PM2.5 is responsible for increases in oxidative stress, inflammation, mutation and carcinogenesis. Anthropogenic activity releases more organic material into the atmosphere, and has increased the amount...

Semi-volatile organic compounds as molecular markers for atmospheric and ecosystem transport

Creator:: Genualdi, Susan A.
Abstract:: The use of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) as molecular markers to identify the contributions of regional and long-range atmospheric transport, as well as current and historic sources, and contaminant deposition in remote ecosystems of the Western U.S. was investigated. Trans-Pacific air masses influenced by Siberian biomass burning events had elevated...

The identification and quantitation of complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures in environmental samples using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Creator:: Manzano, Carlos A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants and are mostly products of the incomplete combustion of organic material. PAHs are often found in environmental samples as a complex mixture of isomers. In addition, the same sources that produce complex PAH mixtures also produce other poorly characterized mixtures of organic compounds,...

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : global cancer risk and metabolism

Creator:: Motorykin, Oleksii
Abstract:: In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...

Identification, Quantification, and Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and their Derivatives in Soil after Steam Enhanced Extraction

Creator:: Santiago Delgado, Lisandra
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental contaminants produced mainly from the incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of organic matter. PAHs are among the major contaminants at over 800 Superfund sites, nationwide. Thermal remediation is used as a method to remediate soils contaminated with PAHs through the use of heat to mobilize...

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...

Use of Targeted and Non-Targeted Analysis to Study Complex PAH Environmental Mixtures

Creator:: Chibwe, Leah
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants formed from the incomplete combustion of organic material. These contaminants are of concern because of their widespread presence in the environment and toxic properties. In addition, PAHs encompass a class of diverse compounds with varying physicochemical properties and exist in the environment as...

Analysis of semi-volatile organic compounds in high elevation lake sediments

Creator:: Wang, Yunzhu
Abstract:: The transport and deposition of airborne contaminants, including semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs), to high elevation ecosystems is recognized as a potential threat to these ecosystems. The objectives of this research were to develop an analytical method to measure a wide range of SOCs in high elevation lake sediment and to...
