Parental Exposure to Pesticides and Poor Clutch Viability in American Alligators
In central Florida, alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) inhabiting lakes contaminated with organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) produce eggs that have high OCP concentrations... -
Mortality from ship emissions: A global assessment
Epidemiological studies consistently link ambient concentrations of particulate matter (PM) to negative health impacts, including asthma, heart attacks, hospital admissions, and... -
Serum Concentrations of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) and Polybromin...
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexabromobiphenyl (BB-153) are chemicals known as brominated flame retardants. We have assessed the exposure status of... -
Observation of a Commercial Fluorinated Material, the Polyfluoroalkyl Phospho...
Sources of human exposure to perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) are not well-characterized. Polyfluoroalkyl phosphoric acids (PAPs) are fluorinated surfactants used in... -
Fate, Transport, and Biodegradation of Natural Estrogens in the Environment a...
Natural steroidal estrogen hormones, e.g., estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), and 17α-estradiol (17α), are released by humans and livestock in the environment and... -
Microwave Assisted Extraction of Biodiesel Feedstock from the Seeds of Invasi...
Chinese tallow tree (TT) seeds are a rich source of lipids and have the potential to be a biodiesel feedstock, but currently, its invasive nature does not favor large scale... -
Estimates of Upper Bounds and Trends in Nano-TiO2Production As a Basis for Ex...
An upper bound is estimated for the magnitude of potential exposure to nano-TiO2 with the purpose of enabling exposure assessment and, ultimately, risk assessment. Knowledge of... -
Use of Carbon Mesh Anodes and the Effect of Different Pretreatment Methods on...
Flat electrodes are useful in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as close electrode spacing improves power generation. Carbon cloth and carbon paper materials typically used in... -
Isotope tracing of atmospheric mercury sources in an urban area of Northeaste...
Mercury (Hg) isotope composition was investigated in lichens over a territory of 900 km2 in the northeast of France over a period of nine years (2001−2009). The studied area was... -
Concentrations and Mass Fluxes of Chloroacetic Acids and Trifluoroacetic Acid...
Chloroacetic acids (CAAs) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) are widely distributed environmental pollutants. The origin of CAAs is still under debate, while TFA is considered to be... -
How Might Selenium Moderate the Toxic Effects of Mercury in Stream Fish of th...
The ability of selenium (Se) to moderate mercury (Hg) toxicity is well established in the literature. Mercury exposures that might otherwise produce toxic effects are...
