Understanding the future of PFAS policy and management : a comparative study between two regions – the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes Region

Creator:: Tran, Danielle N.
Abstract:: In the past fifty years, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have become alarming global pollutants. In 2019, the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ultimately classified them as emerging contaminants and established an action plan to address PFAS and protect public health through developing, identifying, monitoring, and remediating current...

Design and Testing of the FUEL System: Integrating Engineering and Ethnographic Methods in Global Development Efforts

Creator:: Ventrella, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Clean cooking technologies and fuels have been cited as a viable way to slow climate change and reduce the health and environmental impacts associated with traditional cooking devices used by 40% of the world. While engineers in the Design for Development sector have created hundreds of stove designs that perform...

The Triple (Green) Bottom Line: Integrating the Environmental, Economic and Social Factors of Green Construction and Wood Waste

Creator:: Cass, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The United States is at a crossroads when it comes to environmentally sound design. Social and consumer demands are shifting towards more environmentally conscious design and builders are noticing. However, green construction methods can often carry significant opportunity costs. This can lead to a level of “greenwashing” that not only...

The potential use of GIS as a tool for communicating risk information to American Indian tribes: A consideration of the ethical implications

Creator:: Lizon, K. Michele
Abstract:: American Indians presently face health risks posed by exposure to environmental pollutants through different exposure routes including: inhalation (e.g., air particles), ingestion (e.g., fish, water), and dermal contact (e.g., contact with water, soil). Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in the Environmental Health arena as a tool for...

Soundscape Policy: Noise Pollution as an Issue in Oregon Municipalities

Creator:: Noone, Harry
Abstract:: Noise is an environmental issue uniquely harmful to public welfare but essential to a well-functioning modern economy. Given the prevalence of noise especially in urban soundscapes, noise pollution has been recognized as a negative externality and an environmental stressor and thus has become an issue in public policy. Yet, as...

Effects of Moisture Intrusion on the Performance of a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Angle Bracket Connection

Creator:: Bora, Shrenik S.
Abstract:: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is revolutionizing the use of wood in the construction sector of North America as a solution for walls and diaphragms in mid-rise or even high-rise timber structures on account of its environmental advantages, high strength-to-weight ratio, fire-safety performance, and propensity for prefabrication. However, considering the hygroscopic nature...

Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation Solid Cancer Risk in Adults : Radiation Hormesis Study Design

Creator:: Alhussan, Abdulaziz S.
Abstract:: Cancer risk at low-dose ionizing radiation has been the subject of great scientific controversy in the past century. The clear majority of national and international radiation protection regulators adopt the linear no-threshold (LNT) model based on the atomic-bomb survivors Life Span Study (LSS) for solid cancer risk assessment. The LNT...

Family Sustainable Survival and the Advocacy Response Scale based on Rural Perspectives of Additives and Chemical Exposures

Creator:: Winterbourne, Amber H. S.
Abstract:: Learning is lifelong, life-wide and life-deep, meaning it happens anywhere, at any time (Banks, et al., 2007). The implications of learning with intent, is where “free choice learning” began (Falk and Dierking, 2002; 2010). Families play a vital role in developing an integrated curriculum including: rural anthropology (epigenetics, tribalism), Geosciences...

Aerobic Cometabolism of cis-Dichloroethylene, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, and 1,4-Dioxane by Polyvinyl Alcohol/Sodium Alginate Hydrogel Beads that Co-Entrapped Rhodococcus rhodochrous Strain ATCC 21198 and Slow-Release Growth Substrates: Column Studies

Creator:: Bailey, Kestrel
Abstract:: CisCis-Dichloroethylene (ciscis-DCE), 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), and 1,4-Dioxane (1,4-D) are chlorinated solvents used as solvents and degreasers in industrial cleaning agents that have become common groundwater contaminants. To develop an effective treatment method for these compounds, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel beads were co-entrappcapsulated with Rhodococcus rhodochrous Strain ATCC...

Hot, hot, heat : evaluating Phoenix, Arizona cooling centers through a project management perspective

Creator:: Leone, Cassandra M.
Abstract:: Global annual average temperatures are rising, creating extreme heat events or heatwaves that are increasing in frequency, length, and severity. The world will endure more of these events as climate change worsens and heat-related mortality and morbidity will increase due to warming conditions. At the center of heatwaves are urban...
