Advancement of Passive Sampling Applications for Assessing Contaminant Transport, Bioaccumulation, and Toxicity

Creator:: Minick, David J.
Abstract:: In the environment, it is the unbound fraction of chemical (Cfree) which is able to diffuse across environmental interfaces and biological membranes. It is therefore Cfree which drives many important biological-environmental processes including contaminant transport, bioaccumulation and toxicity. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) offer a simplified and more accurate approach for...

Analysis of the Oregon Stakeholder Drug Take Back Public Policy Process to ReducePharmaceutical Pollution in Oregon’s Water Resources

Creator:: Hubbard, Monica L.
Abstract:: The goal of this analysis is to use the social construction framework to determine 1) whether the Oregon Drug Take Back Program stakeholder group can design a public policy that will ultimately reduce water contamination from the improper disposal of unused pharmaceuticals from the general public, and 2) use the...

Multiple stressors and amphibian population declines

Creator:: Hatch, Audrey C.
Abstract:: In the past decade, declines in amphibian populations have captured scientific and popular interest. The causes of the declines are likely to be complex and involve interactions between several environmental stressors. Using multifactorial experiments, I investigated the combined effects of several anthropogenic stressors on developing amphibians in Oregon, USA. In...

Environmental Mixtures and Selected Health Outcomes in the US Population

Creator:: Przybyla, Jennifer
Abstract:: The human health effects of exposure to numerous single environmental contaminants have been well characterized. Yet, biomonitoring studies have detected multiple environmental chemicals in humans, highlighting the need to investigate the health effects of exposure to multiple environmental chemicals. Environmental data is highly complex, therefore current methods of defining environmental...

‘Tis a Gift to be Simple : On Passive Sampling and Compatible Techniques for Reducing the Complexity of Environmental Mixtures

Creator:: Bergmann, Alan J.
Abstract:: Assessing the risk from exposure to a chemical mixture in the environment can seem prohibitively challenging. Most components of the mixture are not readily identifiable, chemicals may interact to cause other-than-additive toxicity, and the number of potential combinations of environmental contaminants is enormous. These challenges can make it seem impossible...

Groundwater arsenic concentrations and cancer incidence rates : a regional comparison in Oregon

Creator:: Fleming, Harmony S.
Abstract:: Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a global issue with national and local implications. Chronic exposure to arsenic in drinking water has been linked to both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health outcomes. The primary exposure route of inorganic arsenic is ingestion from drinking water due to natural contamination in groundwater from dissolution...

Adapting computer science technologies to bridge critical gaps in proposed Tox21 risk assessment programs

Creator:: Larkin, Andrew
Abstract:: In 2004 the National Toxicology Program published an article describing their intent to pursue toxicology testing and risk assessment practices solely reliant on high throughput in vitro datasets and in silico modeling for dose-response assessments. Support and contributions form regulatory agencies and a significant portion of the life sciences community...

Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

Creator:: Biga, Lindsay M.
Abstract:: Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...

Pesticides, pest control and safety on forest range lands; short course for pesticide applicators, 1971 proceedings

Creator:: Capizzi, Joseph, Witt, James M., Oregon State University. Division of Continuing Education, Oregon State University. Cooperative Extension Service, and United States. Forest Service
Abstract:: The pages of this Continuing Education Book contain the papers presented on the Oregon State University campus, March 22-24, 1971 at which time several hundred individuals gathered to learn the requirements for the Oregon Public Employee "Special Applicator" license test. The purpose of this Short Course on Pesticides, Pest Control...
