Abstract:: In 1990, the Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments authorized the regulation of 188 hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Exposure to HAPs at sufficient concentrations and durations can increase both cancer and serious adverse non-carcinogenic effects. The purpose of this study was to conduct a human health risk assessment using data of...

Abstract:: Passive sampling devices (PSDs) were used to measure air vapor and water dissolved phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs) at two different environmentally contaminated sites. Environmental contaminates like PAHs and OPAHs are present in both the atmospheric and aqueous environmental compartments. It is known that...

Creator:: Pavelka, Boris R.
Abstract:: In Medford, Oregon, the major source of pollution is the lumber mill waste burner. Its low combustion efficiency results in the emission of large quantities of particulate into the atmosphere. Due to the influence of the atmospheric radiation inversion and possibly the poor performance of the burners at the time...
