  • Effect of ethanol and low dietary copper on perinatal and postweanling copper utilization in the rat

    Creator:
    Baek, Jong Ho
    Abstract:
    The hypotheses of this research were (1) to test if the antagonistic effect of ethanol on liver copper could be seen within a short period when ethanol ingestion, low dietary copper and high metabolic demand represented by either pregnancy plus lactation or rapid growth are simultaneously present and (2) to...

  • Analytical determination of copper speciation in Oregon highway runoff

    Creator:
    Sprick, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Low concentrations of dissolved copper have been shown to adversely affect the olfactory system of endangered salmonids, impairing their ability to avoid predators and likely increasing predation. It is believed that only the free ionic (Cu2+ free) and weakly complexed forms are bioavailable to organisms; these forms typically account for...

  • The assessment of copper and zinc removal from highway stormwater runoff using Apatite II™

    Creator:
    Huang, Hsiao-Wen
    Abstract:
    Copper and zinc are heavy metals commonly present in highway stormwater runoff. Discharge of these metals to surface waters inhabited by sensitive aquatic species including threatened and endangered salmonids has necessitated the need for improved treatment techniques. Although copper is of the greater toxicological concern, zinc is often present at...
