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...

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...

Diethylnitrosamine, ethylnitrosourea, and dimethylbenz(a)anthracene DNA binding studies in the rainbow trout

Creator:: Van Winkle, Samina
Abstract:: Dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (EMBA), a carcinogen that requires metabolic activation to produce active metabolites capable of binding to DNA, has been studied in the trout and other fish. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are of importance as they are ubiquitous in the environment and their carcinogenic effects in fish from contaminated...

Uptake and metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by the marine alga Acrosiphonia coalita

Creator:: Christensen, Kristi
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to examine the ability of the cold water, green, marine, macroalga Acrosiphonia coalita to take up and metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from seawater. Axenic suspension tissue cultures of the alga were contacted with seawater containing PAH in sealed experimental vessels. Uptake time courses...

Antioxidant enzyme response in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after subchronic exposure to an environmentally-relevant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixture

Creator:: Norby, Tyler S.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are significant pollutants in aquatic environments. Many are carcinogenic and lead to DNA fragmentation and adduct formation in marine and freshwater organisms. Previous research demonstrates that rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) compensate to long-term PAH dietary exposures and reduce the DNA damage. The aim of this study...

Synthesis, characterization, and analysis of nitroaromatic compounds

Creator:: McIntosh, Melissa Luana
Abstract:: Nitroaromatic compounds have important chemical applications and can be found in nature as pollution sources. Synthetic nitroaromatic compounds have been used in a variety of materials including explosives, pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticides. These compounds can find their way into the environment through normal or improper disposal methods. Poly-aromatic compounds...

Investigation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) transport by suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the lower Columbia River and its estuary

Creator:: Gregg, Tiffany
Abstract:: This study aims to improve knowledge of how suspended particulate matter (SPM) affects hydrophobic contaminant transport in the lower Columbia River and its estuary, using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as model compounds. It is hypothesized that PAHs are transported to the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), a prime feeding zone in...

Comparison between lichen, conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling devices (PASDs), and snow to monitor semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere

Creator:: Schrlau, Jill E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to compare four different media that were used to monitor SOC atmospheric concentrations in remote ecosystems. The accumulation of semi-volatile organic compounds, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was investigated in lichen, 2-year old conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling...
