Although fish are a nutritious food source, they also are the main source of methylmercury exposure in U.S. populations. This research examined the risks from methylmercury and benefits from omega-3 fatty acids and selenium from fish consumption. The first study provided the first region-specific quantitative risk/benefit analysis for nine commonly...

The move from hazardous waste management to pollution
prevention is viewed as a paradigm shift in American
industry. Pollution prevention involves source reduction to
reduce the amount of hazardous waste that is generated, and
recycling of those wastes that cannot be prevented within
the production process. The first piece of...
The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) site selection protocol was used to generate a random sample of streams throughout the state of Oregon. One hundred and forty-six selected streams were sampled during the summer, low-flow period of 1997. Traditional microbial public health indicators, including heterotrophic plate counts (HPC), total...
The Safe Drinking Water Act ensures that public systems provide water that meets health standards. However, no such protection exists for millions of Americans who obtain water from private wells.

Reducing the number of intoxicated motorists and increasing seatbelt use are two
strategies that have effectively reduced morbidity and mortality. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), however, suggests that reductions in alcohol-related
fatalities and injuries are the result of implementing strategies associated with
enforcement and judicial processing of driving...
Traditional public health bacterial indicators of water quality and the Biolog® system were evaluated to compare their response to other indicators of stream condition with the state of Oregon and between ecoregions (Coast Range, Willamette Valley, Cascades, and Eastern Oregon). Forty-three randomly selected Oregon rivers were sampled during the summer...
Pollution prevention is promoted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other governmental agencies as a method of reducing the generation of wastes and pollutants. Pollution prevention is also called source reduction because it reduces wastes early in the production process. Source reduction has been used by some industries to...
