Eco-corona formation and impact on environmentally relevant micro- and nanoplastics

Creator:: McColley, Campbell J.
Abstract:: Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter. These contaminants are increasingly found in the environment due to increased plastic production, use, and improper disposal. Detecting and measuring these contaminants in the environment has proven difficult, requiring the use of fate and transport models to assess MP...

Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants : investigations of detection methods, bioremediation strategies, and toxicity impacts

Creator:: Huizenga, Juliana M.
Abstract:: Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...

Addressing the Risks of Nanoscale Polymers: Exposure, Behavior, and Toxicity

Creator:: Stine, Jared
Abstract:: Nanoscale polymers (including nanoplastics) are widely present through commerce and make their way into the environment. As the improper disposal of plastic waste leads to continued accumulation and degradation of plastic pollution, the presence of plastic particles less than 1 micron (μm) in size (nanoplastics) will increase. Heightened concern over...

Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Municipal Sludge and Fats, Oils, and Greases: Effects on Digester Performance and Microbial Community Dynamics

Creator:: Berninghaus, Ashley E.
Abstract:: The natural production of methane via anaerobic digestion (AD) is facilitated by a complex community of microorganisms, primarily bacteria and archaea, referred to as the AD microbiome. AD is growing in prominence as a solution to the disposal of food waste, sewage sludge, and the organic fraction of municipal solid...

Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Undergraduate Engineering Students: Perspectives, Resiliency, and Suggestions for Improving Engineering Education

Creator:: Haverkamp, Andrea E.
Abstract:: Gender has been the subject of study in engineering education and science social research for decades. However, little attention has been given to transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) experiences or perspectives. The role of cisgender or gender conforming status has not been investigated nor considered in prevailing frameworks of gender...

Interfacial Relaxation and Two-Fluid Flow in Porous Media: A Fast X-Ray Microtomography Study

Creator:: Meisenheimer, Douglas E.
Abstract:: The flow of multiple immiscible fluids within a porous medium controls many natural and engineered systems in the environment including: geologic CO2 sequestration, enhanced oil recovery from underground reservoirs, and contaminant remediation of groundwater. The need to understand how fluids are transported and distributed in these processes is important for...

The Influence of Engineered Surface Coatings on Nanoparticle Aggregation and Corona Formation: Examinations in Simulated and Real Aquatic Media

Creator:: Surette, Mark C.
Abstract:: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are small anthropogenic colloids with at least one length dimension <100 nanometers. Due to the nature of their use, ENMs are being increasingly released to the environment. Yet the environmental risks posed by ENMs are unknown due to a variety challenges, including limitations with detecting and quantifying...

Examining the Environmental Behavior and Treatment Efficacy of Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials in Complex Systems

Creator:: Deline, Alyssa R.
Abstract:: Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) are manufactured at the greatest rate of any class of nanomaterial due to their wide variety of industrial, commercial, and environmental applications. The sustainable use of MONPs requires a balance of careful consideration of their potential negative environmental impacts with the effective exploitation of their unique...

Addressing Persistent Challenges in Nanotoxicology Exposures : Techniques for in situ Characterization

Creator:: Crandon, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Nanoparticles (NPs), defined by their size (1-100 nm), are increasingly incorporated into commercial and industrial products due to their high surface area and unique properties. They can be designed for specific applications by manipulating composition, size, shape, and surface functionalization. As NP production and complexity increases, there is a need...
