New Configurations of Silicone Passive Sampling Devices: Quantifying Feline and Firefighter Chemical Exposures

Creator:

Poutasse, Carolyn M.

Abstract:

Silicone wristbands are passive sampling devices (PSD) that sequester bioavailable organic chemicals in the environment. In environmental health studies, silicone wristbands are easy to wear and can provide personal exposure data about complex chemical mixtures. This dissertation includes an overview of PSD technology, a literature review of current wristband research...

Post-hatching survival and productivity of American avocets at drainwater evaporation ponds in the Tulare Basin, California

Creator:

Marn, Carolyn M. (Carolyn Mary), 1962-

Abstract:

Evaporation ponds that dispose of agricultural drainwater provide attractive habitat for waterbirds but may result in contaminant exposure that impairs reproduction. I estimated post-hatching survival and evaluated productivity estimates for American avocets (Recurvirostra americana) nesting at evaporation ponds in the Tulare Basin, California from 1991 to 1993. Avocets and Black-necked...
