Biochemical and physiological indicators of behavioral impairment in salmonids exposed to chlorpyrifos and copper

Creator:: Sandahl, Jason
Abstract:: The purpose of this work was to determine if environmentally-relevant concentrations of chlorpyrifos and copper, two commonly detected chemicals in Western surface waters, can negatively impact the biological health of salmonids. Both compounds are highly neurotoxic to fish, but each with distinct biological target sites and mechanisms of action. We...

Effects of esfenvalerate on native macroinvertebrates representative of Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Johnson, Katherine R.
Abstract:: Aquatic insects are essential components of healthy stream ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling, trophic dynamics and other ecological functions. Aquatic insect species, particularly those in the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT taxa) are however, extremely sensitive to insecticide contamination. Given that urban and agricultural use of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides...

Exposure and health risk assessment for farmers occupationally exposed to chlorpyrifos in Sri Lanka and drinking water and house dust analysis for chlorpyrifos

Creator:: Aponso, G. Lalith M.
Abstract:: This study was designed to assess chiorpyrifos exposure of a group of farmers by determining internal dose associated with a given application of this insecticide. This involved the monitoring of urinary levels of 3,5,6 trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), the major metabolite of chlorpyrifos. Incidental exposure was evaluated by determining the levels of...

Unraveling tissue regeneration using chemical genetics

Creator:: Mathew, Lijoy K.
Abstract:: The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...

Long-term fertilizer input influences total and bioavailable metal in agricultural soils and crops

Creator:: Pérez, Angela L.
Abstract:: Protection of the quality and integrity of food supplies is of global concern. Crops can accumulate non-nutritive and sometimes toxic metals and metalloids. Accumulated metals/metalloids can come in part, from fertilizers, which may contain variable levels of non-nutritive metals or metalloids such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel...

Assessment of exposure and response to atmospherically-derived contaminants in U.S. Arctic freshwater fish

Creator:: Allen-Gil, Susan M.
Abstract:: The Arctic has long been considered to be a pristine environment, far from population centers and pollution sources. The detection of synthetic organochlorine compounds in various elements of the Arctic food web has confirmed the global dispersion of pollutants, particularly of persistent compounds such as organochlorines and heavy metals. Levels...

Physiological and organism level endpoints in the beetle pterostichus oblongopunctatus (Coleoptera: Carabidae), inhabiting a gradient of heavy metal pollution

Creator:: Stone, David
Abstract:: Pollutant body burdens, ability to tolerate supplementary stressors, and biomarkers of physiological stress were investigated in the ground beetle, Pterostichus oblongopunctatus (Coleoptera: Carabidae), inhabiting a gradient of heavy metal contamination in Poland. The central question was to determine if beetles inhabiting polluted habitats incurred costs compared with beetles in less...

Environmental estrogens and skeletal development disruption in the fathead minnow : A teleost model of vertebrate developmental toxicity

Creator:: Warner, Kara E.
Abstract:: Natural and synthetic estrogenic compounds detected in surface waters have been linked to endocrine signaling disruption in several species. Endogenous estrogen contributes to cartilage and bone deposition during development in vertebrates, and is susceptible to perturbation from xenoestrogens. The goals of this work were to develop a teleost model to...

Sublethal effects of estuarine carbaryl applications on juvenile English sole (Pleuronectes vetulus)

Creator:: Pozarycki, Scott V.
Abstract:: The pesticide carbaryl is applied annually to tidelands in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor, WA to control populations of burrowing shrimp which modify sediments making the habitat unsuitable for oyster culture. Fish trapped on sprayed mudflats are often killed, but little is known about effects on fish present in subtidal...
