AN - 80082157; 14709629 AB - Cytochrome P450-dependent oxidation and glutathione (GSH)-dependent conjugation are the primary routes of metabolism of haloalkanes. Using rat liver microsomes and cytosol, we investigated the metabolism of two halopropanes found on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Contaminant Candidate List, 1,3-dichloropropane (1,3-DCP) and 2,2-dichloropropane (2,2-DCP). An automated headspace technique using gas chromatography was developed to determine rates of metabolism. Additional dihaloalkanes (1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, 1,4-dichlorobutane, 1,2-dibromoethane, 1,2-dibromopropane, 1,4-dibromobutane) were evaluated to assess structure-activity relationships. In general, brominated dihaloalkanes were eliminated from rat cytosol faster than chlorinated dihaloalkanes, reflecting the expected halide order of reactivity (Br > Cl). Furthermore, the rate of GSH conjugation was proportional to alpha,omega-haloalkane chain length. The clearance of 1,3-DCP via the GSH conjugation pathway (1.6 x 10(-4) l/h/mg cytosol protein) was minor relative to the P450 pathway (2.8 x 10(-2) l/h/mg microsomal protein). In contrast, we did not observe metabolism of 2,2-DCP via the GSH-dependent conjugation pathway and observed only a minor level of clearance via the P450 pathway (7 x 10(-4) l/h/mg microsomal protein). Neither compound was mutagenic in various strains of Salmonella, including those containing GSTT1-1, indicating that GSTT1-1 does not metabolize 1,3-DCP or 2,2-DCP to mutagens. Analysis of the reaction products of 1,3-DCP and GSH in cytosol by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry revealed significant production of S-(3-chloropropyl) glutathione conjugate, indicating that the conjugate half-mustard does not rearrange to form a sulfonium ion, as typically occurs with vicinal dihaloalkanes.

AN - 80074258; 14698938 AB - The proposed National Children's Study has helped raise awareness of the issues related to children's health and the importance of monitoring the growth and development of children from preconception through adulthood. Many genetic predispositions can adversely impact the normal development process, and various environmental exposures have been linked to adverse reproductive health in rodent models and a small number of accidental human exposures. To monitor reproductive health and identify adverse effects at the earliest possible juncture, investigators must develop a network of biomarkers covering all stages and aspects of reproductive development and function. Biomarkers are biological indicators that can be measured repeatedly and are informative on one or more aspects of biological development or function. They can range from the anatomical level down to the molecular level and may provide information on the nature of an exposure, the effect of an exposure, or the susceptibility of individuals or populations to the toxic effects of an exposure. In theory, biomarkers can be used to monitor a wide variety of conditions and responses ranging from abnormal development to early indicators of late-onset disease. The main stumbling block with this theory has been finding appropriate biomarkers for particular conditions and exposures. Such biomarkers must be easily accessible, robust, and sensitive. Ideally, they will be expressed across a large section of the population, and can be monitored quickly, easily, conveniently, and with minimal cost. In this review, we discuss some of the current and emerging biomarkers of human pubertal development.

AN - 80074231; 14698932 AB - Residential proximity to busy roads has been associated with adverse health outcomes, and school location may also be an important determinant of children's exposure to traffic-related pollutants. The goal of this study was to examine the characteristics of public schools (grades K-12) in California (n = 7,460) by proximity to major roads. We determined maximum daily traffic counts for all roads within 150 m of the school using a statewide road network and a geographic information system. Statewide, 173 schools (2.3%) with a total enrollment of 150,323 students were located within 150 m of high-traffic roads (greater than or equal to 50,000 vehicles/day); 536 schools (7.2%) were within 150 m of medium-traffic roads (25,000-49,999 vehicles/day). Traffic exposure was related to race/ethnicity. For example, the overall percentage of nonwhite students was 78% at the schools located near high-traffic roads versus 60% at the schools with very low exposure (no streets with counted traffic data within 150 m). As the traffic exposure of schools increased, the percentage of both non-Hispanic black and Hispanic students attending the schools increased substantially. Traffic exposure was also related to school-based and census-tract-based socioeconomic indicators, including English language learners. The median percentage of children enrolled in free or reduced-price meal programs increased from 40.7% in the group with very low exposure to 60.5% in the highest exposure group. In summary, a substantial number of children in California attend schools close to major roads with very high traffic counts, and a disproportionate number of those students are economically disadvantaged and nonwhite.

AN - 80072246; 14698937 AB - Detection, quantification, and prognosis of environmental exposures in humans has been vastly enhanced by the ability of epidemiologists to collect biospecimens for toxicologic or other laboratory evaluation. Ease of collection and level of invasiveness are commonly cited reasons why study participants fail to provide biospecimens for research purposes. The use of methodologies for the collection of biospecimens in the home offers promise for improving the validity of health effects linked to environmental exposures while maximizing the number and type of specimens capable of being collected in a timely and cost-effective manner. In this review we examine biospecimens (urine and blood) that have been successfully collected from the home environment. Related issues such as storage and transportation will also be examined as well as promising new approaches for collecting less frequently studied biospecimens (including hair follicles, breast milk, semen, and others). Such biospecimens are useful in the monitoring of reproductive development and function.

AN - 67307652; 19712347 AB - 16S rDNA clone libraries were evaluated for detection of fecal source-identifying bacteria from a collapsed equine manure pile. Libraries were constructed using universal eubacterial primers and Bacteroides-Prevotella group-specific primers. Eubacterial sequences indicated that upstream and downstream water samples were predominantly beta- and gamma-Proteobacteria (35 and 19%, respectively), while the manure library consisted predominantly of Firmicutes (31%) and previously unidentified sequences (60%). Manure-specific eubacterial sequences were not detectable beyond 5 m downstream of the pile, suggesting either poor survival or high dilution rates. In contrast, Bacteroides and Prevotella sp. sequences were detected both in manure and downstream using group-specific primers. Novel sequences from Bacteroides and Prevotella analysis produced an equine-specific phylogenetic cluster as compared to previous data sets obtained for human and bovine samples. While these results suggest that some anaerobic fecal bacteria might be potential identifiers for use in source-tracking applications, a comprehensive examination of environmental sequences within these species should be performed before methods targeting these bacterial groups are applied to watersheds for development of microbial source-tracking protocols.

The makeup of aquatic biological assemblages (e.g., fish, macroinvertebrates, algae, riparian birds, etc.) varies dramatically over the landscape, as do the environmental stresses that affect the condition of those assemblages. Ecoregions delineate areas where similar assemblages are likely to occur and, therefore, where similar expectations can be established. For this reason, ecological regions have proven to be an important tool for use in the process of ecological assessment. This article describes four examples of the use of ecological regions in important aspects of environmental monitoring and assessment: (1) design of monitoring networks; (2) estimating expected conditions (criteria development); (3) reporting of results; (4) setting priorities for future monitoring and restoration. By delineating geographic areas with similar characteristics, ecological regions provide a framework for developing relevant indicators, setting expectations through the use of regional reference sites, establishing ecoregion-specific criteria and/or standards, presenting results, focusing models based on relationships between landscape and surface water metrics, and setting regional priorities for management and restoration. The Environmental Protection Agency and many state environmental departments currently use ecoregions to aid the development of environmental criteria, to illustrate current environmental condition, and to guide efforts to maintain and restore physical, chemical and biological integrity in lakes, streams, and rivers.

These ideas center on the Hebraic idea of created nature (real, radically contingent, & artifactual) & of man (an iconoclast, covenant maker, & artificer). It is further shown that both the eschatological (historical- prophetic) & enlightenment (scientific-materialist) components of Hobbes's philosophy originate in these same biblical ideas. Therefore, the often stressed & accustomed division of Leviathan into a secular (Parts I & II) & a religious (Parts III & IV) teaching is mistakenly conceived. Adapted from the source document.

The bulk conductivity was measured using in-situ vertical resistivity probes; the most probable number method was used to characterize the spatial distribution of aerobic heterotrophic and oil-degrading microbial populations. The purpose of this study was to assess if high conductivity observed at aged LNAPL-impacted sites may be related to microbial degradation of LNAPL. The results show higher bulk conductivity coincident with LNAPL-impacted zones, in contrast to geoelectrical models that predict lower conductivity in such zones. The highest bulk conductivity was observed to be associated with zones impacted by residual and free LNAPL. Data from bacteria enumeration from sediments close to the resistivity probes show that oil-degrading microbes make up a larger percentage (5-55%) of the heterotrophic microbial community at depths coincident with the higher conductivity compared to approximately 5% at the uncontaminated location. The coincidence of a higher percentage of oil-degrading microbial populations in zones of higher bulk conductivity suggests that the higher conductivity in these zones may result from increased fluid conductivity related to microbial degradation of LNAPL, consistent with geochemical studies that suggest that intrinsic biodegradation is occurring at the site. The findings from this study point to the fact that biogeochemical processes accompanying biodegradation of contaminants can potentially alter geoelectrical properties of the subsurface impacted media.

When the propagation velocity in the borehole was greater than that in the formation (e.g., an air-filled borehole in the unsaturated zone), only a guided wave propagated along the borehole. As the frequency decreased, both the phase and the group velocities of the guided wave asymptotically approached the phase velocity of a plane wave in the formation. The guided wave radiated electromagnetic energy into the formation, causing its amplitude to decrease. When the propagation velocity in the borehole was less than that in the formation (e.g., a water-filled borehole in the saturated zone), both a refracted wave and a guided wave propagated along the borehole. The velocity of the refracted wave equaled the phase velocity of a plane wave in the formation, and the refracted wave preceded the guided wave. As the frequency decreased, both the phase and the group velocities of the guided wave asymptotically approached the phase velocity of a plane wave in the formation. The guided wave did not radiate electromagnetic energy into the formation. To analyze traces recorded by the prototype tool during laboratory tests, they were compared to traces calculated with the finite-difference method. The first parts of both the recorded and the calculated traces were similar, indicating that guided and refracted waves indeed propagated along the prototype tool.

Natural fractures in the upper Pottsville Formation of Alabama include joints in shale and sandstone, cleats in coal, bed-parallel partings, and fault-related shear fractures. As coalbed methane wells are completed, hydraulic fractures are generated by pumping fluid rapidly into coal, and these fractures can be incorporated into DFN models to assess the impact of hydraulic fracturing on the hydrologic system. Upper Pottsville fracture systems have distinctive statistical attributes that can be used to formulate DFN models on the basis of fracture height, length, spacing, cross-cutting relationships, and kinematic aperture. One set of DFN models features joints, coal beds, and hydraulic fractures. Another set of DFN models incorporates a normal fault and fault-related shear fractures. Compartmentalization analysis indicates that upper Pottsville fracture systems are structurally interconnected, but eliminating poorly transmissive hairline fractures results in the development of numerous hydrologic compartments. The compartmentalization results are insensitive to the presence of hydraulic fractures and thus indicate that hydraulic fractures do not significantly modify the natural hydrologic system. Analysis of a jointed DFN model indicates that a series of first-order reservoir compartments envelops each major coal zone. Analysis of fault-related shear fractures indicates that numerous elongate compartments can conduct fluid along strike of the faults but impede flow along dip of the faults. However, including joints and coal beds in a faulted DFN model results in a large first-order compartment that envelops the complete model and contains an abundance of elongate second-order compartments. Analysis of the faulted DFN model suggests that only a combination of joints, coal beds, and fault-related shear fractures can result in hydraulic communication between reservoir coal beds and shallow coal aquifers. The risk posed by coalbed methane operations to shallow aquifers is interpreted to be minimal or nonexistent. Multiple no-flow boundaries appear to separate reservoir coal zones from shallow coal aquifers, thus the aquifers appear to be shielded from completion and production operations in coalbed methane reservoirs. The faulted DFN model indicates that hydraulic communication between reservoir coal beds and shallow coal aquifers requires highly tortuous flow paths, and production experience from Deerlick Creek Field indicates that faults can be zones of minimal fluid production. Therefore, the risks posed by coalbed methane activities near faults can be regarded as minimal and speculative.

The formations making up the aquifer, the Garber Sandstone and the underlying Wellington Formation, consist of amalgamated fluvial sandstones interbedded with mudstones, siltstones, and some conglomerates (Breit et al., 1990). Water from some of the wells contains naturally occurring arsenic levels that exceed federal standards (EPA, 2001). Past work suggests that the arsenic is concentrated in water produced from sandstones isolated by finer-grained rocks. This is because the low permeability of the finer-grained intervals inhibits the flushing-out of soluble trace substances by freshwater (Schlottmann et al., 1998). Therefore, one strategy for remediation is to selectively produce water from low-arsenic zones and to limit or avoid completion and development of sandstones isolated by finer-grained lithofacies. This strategy requires the development of an improved stratigraphic model that defines the lateral and vertical distribution of arsenic-prone lithofacies. To accomplish this, geophysical logs from oil and water wells, subsurface core, and outcrops are being used to produce stratigraphic cross-sections and maps (such as net-to-gross and sandstone-shale ratio maps). To date, our work suggests that sand-prone and mud-prone packages within these formations can be correlated but that correlation of individual sandstone bodies is problematic. Through integration of on-going companion studies, the projection of outcrop gamma-ray profiles and paleodepositional environment to the subsurface should help to further constrain the habitat of arsenic and better define regional permeability fairways.

Increasing imperviousness has led to higher peak flows and lower base flows. The movement of pollutants and other materials to receiving waters has increased and stream water temperatures have risen. These changes alter the structure and functioning of rivers, streams, and associated riparian corridors and result in changes in ecosystem services. We define a hydrologic disturbance index that indicates varying degrees of disturbance on a reach-by-reach basis, dependent on the aggregate amount of urbanization upstream of each reach. For current conditions this index is more variable than for future conditions, because current land use in the study watershed is more variable, containing mixtures of urban, agricultural, and forested land. In contrast, future land use is projected to be more uniformly urban, leading to a less variable but greater overall degree of hydrologic disturbance. Two effects of urbanization on fish are explored through ecological modeling: effects of streambed disturbance on food availability and effects of stream temperature on spawning. We tabulate food availability as a function of bed-mobility for 30 different fish species. We show that additional stress occurs with additional urbanization of the watershed. We show that the urban-related increase in stream temperatures may cause several warm-water species to actually gain opportunities to spawn in some cases. However, combining food availability and spawning day availability into a single index reveals highly stressful conditions for all fish species under the fully developed scenario.

Two major stratigraphic units in the COA, the Garber Sandstone and Wellington Formation, contain naturally occurring arsenic that exceeds government mandated drinking-water standards (EPA, 2001). Previous work in the COA (Schlottmann et al., 1998) has shown that arsenic concentrations in the aquifer vary with lithofacies. Isolated sandstones (encased by thick shale intervals where flow is reduced) tend to yield water with elevated arsenic levels. In order to better constrain the distribution of arsenic with lithofacies, we have constructed numerous high-resolution spectral gamma-ray profiles of the outcrops using a portable gamma-ray scintillometer. In addition, rock samples associated with each gamma ray reading taken from outcrops were returned to the laboratory for textural analysis. We find that many of the arsenic-bearing lithofacies are characterized by high total gamma-ray counts (associated with K, U and Th). This result is because arsenic in the rocks is associated with iron oxide that appears to be enriched in the finer-grained, clay-rich lithofacies. Calculated permeability profiles mimic fining-upward grain-size profiles characteristic of fluvial depositional settings. Data from previous USGS studies (cores, geochemistry, petrography, and X-ray diffraction) are being incorporated into the evaluation of the gamma-ray responses as well. Results of this work are being integrated with other on-going companion studies to constrain subsurface well log correlation and the reconstruction of paleodepositional environments in the Garber-Wellington interval of the COA.

Water-quality assessments for parts of the COA, however, document arsenic concentrations above this standard. Based on the work of Schlottmann et al. (1998), concentrations of arsenic tend to occur in sandstone layers that are isolated between thick layers of mudstone. As a means to evaluate various approaches to arsenic remediation during well construction, we are developing a lithofacies and stratigraphic conceptual model for the Permian (Leonardian) Garber Sandstone. Detailed study of outcrops in Cleveland County and surrounding area has resulted in identification of nine lithofacies. The sandstone lithofacies include 1) massive, 2) ripple-laminated, 3) sandstone with horizontal to low angle planar laminations, and 4) tabular and trough cross-bedded sandstone, some with mud rip-up clasts. Other lithofacies include 5) carbonate clast conglomerate, 6) mud clast conglomerate, 7) iron stone, 8) shale/siltstones, and 9) blocky mudstones. These lithofacies and lithofacies associations provide the foundation for construction of lithofacies maps, vertical stratigraphic profiles, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. A fluvial depositional setting for the Garber Sandstone is supported by the presence of lenticular-shaped sandstone bodies, erosional truncation of underlying units, fining upward grain-size profiles, and rapid lateral changes in the proportion of sandstone and shale. These findings are being used to constrain the habitat of arsenic in the aquifer system and as input to regional flow modeling.

EPA's research program provides data and support for building a science knowledge base to manage ecological resources, and reduce environmental risks. Oil-and-gas-related research is conducted at EPA's NRMRL and NCER. NRML's Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program has developed a phytoremediation process applicable for soils, sediments, and groundwater containing intermediate levels of organic contaminants. This process uses species of grasses, such as alfalfa and fescue, and soil nutrients to meet site's remedial goals. This process also uses deep-rooted, water-loving trees such as poplar to intercept groundwater plumes and reduce contaminant levels. A portable, compact gas chromatograph was designed and evaluated for on-site analysis of soil, water, and gas samples for organic compounds. Under NCER's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, the Integrated Petroleum Environmental Consortium is conducting research on phytoremediation, and bioremediation. Studies on phytoremediation have demonstrated that the use of long long-lived perennial plants provides an ecologically sound means of inexpensive, sustained remediation of contaminated soil. Sulfate amendment was demonstrated as a viable bioremediation technology in enhancing microbial sulfate reduction to in hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifers. NCER's research at the Oil Spills Research Center at Lake Charles, LA is directed at wetlands restoration, and the environmental effects of oil spills. A project under this program resulted in discovering a submerged plant that provides habitat, nursery, and food source for economically important flora and fauna.

The linear compounds consist primarily of the short-chain homologues (C (sub 10) -C (sub 20) ). The C (sub 27) -C (sub 29) sterols detected were dominated by C (sub 27) stenols. The molecular characteristics suggest that algae and bacteria were the major source organism. The presence of abundant fatty acid glycerol monoesters suggests that the biological lipids, particularly bacterial phospholipids were important contributors to the formation of the crude oils studied. The existence of abundant unsaturated linear compounds, stenols and high CPI values of linear non-hydrocarbon compounds is consistent with the low maturity of these crude oils.

However, complex questions with few answers surround the unknowns regarding the potential for environmental or human health effects from trace levels of xenobiotics in ground water, especially ground water augmented with treated waste water. Public acceptance for direct or indirect ground water recharge using treated municipal waste water (especially sewage) spans the spectrum from unquestioned embrace to outright rejection. In this paper, I detour around the issues most commonly discussed regarding ground water recharge and instead focus on some of the less-recognized issues--those that emanate from the mysteries created at the many literal and virtual interfaces involved with the subsurface world. My major objective is to catalyze discussion that advances our understanding of the barriers to public acceptance of waste water reuse with its ultimate culmination in direct reuse for drinking. I pose what could be a key question as to whether much of the public's frustration or ambivalence in its decision-making process for accepting, or rejecting, water reuse (for various purposes including personal use) emanates from fundamental inaccuracies, misrepresentation, or oversimplification of what water is and how it functions in the environment--just exactly what the water cycle is. These questions suggest it might behoove us to revisit some very elementary aspects of our science and how we are conveying them to the public.

AN - 51153343; 2004-061207 AB - A proof-of-concept experiment was devised to determine if pharmaceuticals and other organic waste water compounds (OWCs), as well as pathogens, found in treated effluent could be transported through a 2.4 m soil column and, thus, potentially reach ground water under recharge conditions similar to those in arid or semiarid climates. Treated effluent was applied at the top of the 2.4 m long, 32.5 cm diameter soil column over 23 days. Samples of the column inflow were collected from the effluent storage tank at the beginning (T (sub begin) ) and end (T (sub end) ) of the experiment, and a sample of the soil column drainage at the base of the column (B (sub end) ) was collected at the end of the experiment. Samples were analyzed for 131 OWCs including veterinary and human antibiotics, other prescription and nonprescription drugs, widely used household and industrial chemicals, and steroids and reproductive hormones, as well as the pathogens Salmonella and Legionella. Analytical results for the two effluent samples taken at the beginning (T (sub begin) ) and end (T (sub end) ) of the experiment indicate that the number of OWCs detected in the column inflow decreased by 25% (eight compounds) and the total concentration of OWCs decreased by 46% while the effluent was in the storage tank during the 23-day experiment. After percolating through the soil column, an additional 18 compounds detected in T (sub end) (67% of OWCs) were no longer detected in the effluent (B (sub end) ) and the total concentration of OWCs decreased by more than 70%. These compounds may have been subject to transformation (biotic and abiotic), adsorption, and (or) volatilization in the storage tank and during travel through the soil column. Eight compounds--carbamazapine; sulfamethoxazole; benzophenone; 5-methyl-1H-benzotriazole; N, N-diethyltoluamide; tributylphosphate; tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate; and cholesterol--were detected in all three samples indicating they have the potential to reach ground water under recharge conditions similar to those in arid and semiarid climates. Results from real-time polymerase chain reactions demonstrated the presence of Legionella in all three samples. Salmonella was detected only in T (sub begin) , suggesting that the bacteria died off in the effluent storage tank over the period of the experiment. This proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates that, under recharge conditions similar to those in arid or semiarid climates, some pharmaceuticals, pathogens, and other OWCs can persist in treated effluent after soil-aquifer treatment.

Laboratory investigations involved both batch reactors using biologically active sand and continuous flow simulated aquifer storage and recovery experiments. All laboratory experiments were conducted using Colorado River water spiked with various target compounds at concentrations between 10 and 100 ng/L. Field studies were also conducted to determine the occurrence and attenuation of target compounds in water reuse applications. Two golf courses irrigated with reuse water were studied to determine if turf applications led to contamination of nearby ground water. A waste water treatment facility that uses rapid infiltration basins seasonally was also tested to determine the degree of attenuation of detectable target compounds along a subsurface flowpath. A qualitative structural activity relationship model was applied to the target compounds to predict the general rate of aerobic biological degradation. Significant attenuation of many target compounds was observed in both laboratory and field experiments. Conversely, several compounds displayed limited removal during these studies. Field experiments were limited to detectable compounds and various nonbiological removal or concentration effects that may impact data interpretations, which are discussed in this paper. The predictive model was found to be moderately accurate within the confines of the project scope.

The specific objectives of the results reported here were (1) to evaluate the use of rebound analysis of soil gas concentrations as the basis for operational strategies, and (2) establish the endpoint criteria for active remedial action. Three soil gas TCE concentration rebound tests were conducted over a period of 18 months to assess system performance and progress. For each rebound test, the system was shut down and allowed to equilibrate for two to four weeks. Soil gas TCE concentrations were measured several times during this equilibration period. Comparison of these rebound test results has been used for evaluating SVE system performance. A transient two-dimensional diffusion model has been used to convert soil gas TCE rebound concentrations to estimates from distance to source, and the model predictions correspond with observed dense nonaqueous phase liquid at the site. Also, these rebound tests can provide sufficient information about contaminant distribution and SVE mass transfer limitations to select a reasonable and appropriate endpoint for active remedial operations.

The propane injection resulted in degradation of a mixture of chlorinated solvents, including trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-dichloroethylene (c-DCE), and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA). In only 20 d, the propane injection resulted in decreases of TCE and c-DCE of >98%, and a decrease in TCA in soil gas by approximately 70%. The degradation of the TCA may not have occurred with a methane, butane, toluene, or phenol injection. These decreases in chlorinated solvent concentrations were accompanied by large increases in propane-utilizing bacteria that ranged from below detection levels prior to the injection to approximately 1% of the ending total aerobic heterotrophic population by the end of the propane injection. Thus, a proportional increase occurred as heterotrophic counts increased a hundredfold. Microbial TCE degradation activity, as measured in microcosms, also increased with the propane injection. The highest rates of degradation were observed in microcosms with propane and nutrients, indicating the potential for higher field rates of degradation with nutrient additions.

Because future contaminant releases are likely it is necessary that local water managers develop release scenarios so as to be prepared prior to an actual contaminant release occurring. Release scenarios may be forecasted using appropriate historical data or they may be predicted using selected measured parameters. Forecasting contaminant releases to drinking-water supplies in karstic terranes is best accomplished by conducting numerous tracer tests from each potential source location to each exposure point so that acceptable solute-transport parameters for each solution conduit may be estimated from analyses of the breakthrough curves. Compositing the numerous breakthrough curves and fitting a quintic spline allows development of a single representative breakthrough curve that may then be used to forecast the effects of a release. Predicting contaminant releases is accomplished by combining basic measured field parameters for selected solution conduits in functional relationships for application in solute-transport models. The resulting breakthrough curve and solute-transport parameters can be used to predict the effects of a release. The forecasting and prediction methodologies were tested using a hypothetical release into a solution conduit developed in a karstic aquifer. Both methods were shown to produce reasonably acceptable results. The prediction methodology produced better time-of-travel results and better mass recovery and exposure concentration results than did the forecasting methodology.

The change of surface water quality is one of the main indicators used for the assessment of impacts on the environment. This paper investigates possibilities for employing MIKE 11 model in prediction and assessment of the change of surface water quality in the rivers, where power plants exist or may be built. The described methodology is used for evaluation of the effects of proposed for the construction hydro power plants on the quality of the Nemunas River.

Salamanders also can provide an important service to humans through their use as cost-effective and readily quantifiable metrics of ecosystem health and integrity. The diverse ecological roles of salamanders in natural areas underscore the importance of their conservation.

Measurements were made of semivolatile products of incomplete combustion (PICs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs), and mixed bromo-chloro dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PXDDs/Fs). A statistical analysis of the data has been performed so that variability in the PCDDs/Fs can be accounted for by variation in the semivolatile PICs, particularly the chlorobenzenes (CBz) and chlorophenols (CPh). In addition, a statistical analysis was performed to investigate the variability of the PXDDs/Fs as a function of the concentrations of the semivolatile chlorinated, brominated, and mixed bromo-chloro organics.

Blumm & William Warnock's Roads Not Taken: EPA vs. Clean Water, by Clifford J. Villa AN - 19430718; 6101364 AB - As a fan of Environmental Law and the federal Clean Water Act, it was with great interest that I received the symposium issue, The Clean Water Act Turns 30: Celebrating Its Past, Predicting Its Future. Unfortunately, in the articles that followed, celebrating and predicting appeared mighty scarce. To be sure, there is much cause for celebrating the gains in water quality since the modern Clean Water Act was passed in 1972. To be equally sure, the Clean Water Act has fallen short of the lofty goals that Congress originally set for it. Seeing only the failure, however, Michael C. Blumm and William Warnock set out to pin the blame on one agency with their symposium contribution Roads Not Taken: EPA vs. Clean Water. This Letter is not offered as a full response to Blumm and Warnock. Backed by the editors of Environmental Law, the authors may be trusted with their summaries of cases and points of fact. Rather, this Letter reflects on some of the unsupported conclusions of Blumm and Warnock that may detract, in my opinion, from what I take as the common goal of achieving clean water.

Cyclodextrin could increase significantly the degradation bacterial durability concentration on nitrobenzene, shorten the bacterial retention time, promote the growth of the degradation bacterial and accelerate the degradation of nitrobenzene. This function was related with the concentration of cyclodextrin and nitrobenzene. When the concentration of nitrobenzene was more than the durable concentration of the degradation bacteria the influence was more remarkable. The higher the concentration of cyclodextrin, the greater the influence.

In the United States, one possible route of environmental exposure to organotins (specifically dibutyltin and triphenyltin) is via fresh surface waters and fish taken from those waters. A unique methodology was used for quantitative and speciation of the organotins. This green-chemistry method combines two extraction techniques (solid-phase extraction for waters; hexane/tropolone extraction for fish) with mu -liquid chromatography-electrospray/ion trap mass spectrometry ( mu -LC-ES/ITMS) as the detection method. A small survey looking for organotins in fresh surface waters across the United States, and fish from those waters, was conducted. Various concentrations of dibutyltin and triphenyltin were detected in fresh water, ranging from nondetect to 2 ppb, and nondetect to 6 ppb, respectively.

A critical review of the technical literature is performed; a new estimate for the diffusivity of elemental mercury in water is obtained; a Setschenow coefficient for elemental mercury is published; and a normalized version of the Cole and Caraco (1998) low to intermediate windspeed air/water gaseous exchange model is developed. Findings from the study include: (1) some previously published estimates of elemental mercury diffusivity in water are likely too high by as much as a factor of four; (2) some published Schmidt number estimates are likely too low (by a similar factor); (3) some previously published elemental mercury air/water exchange estimates are likely too high; (4) overall water side environmental mass transfer coefficients for elemental mercury likely lie within the range 0.006 to 0.45 m/h; (5) there are both experimental and theoretical justifications for using a non-isothermal Henry's Law Constant in environmental systems over typical diel time periods; and (6) more complex non-isothermal Henry's Law Constants may be required to model air/water gaseous exchange in hydrothermal and/or industrial systems.

Community-based exposure assessments have the potential to be an effective way to address these concerns. The success of such studies depends critically on the effective translation and communication of study results back to the study participants and the community. In this article we describe the communication approach applied as part of the South Baltimore Community Exposure Study. Specifically, in conjunction with collecting measurements, we asked the community to define questions they wanted answered and the way in which they wanted to receive study results. To meet their needs, we applied the risk assessment framework. The approach we developed helped residents interpret exposure assessment measurements and gave them the raw materials to effect change in their community. The risk-based approach to presenting participant and community results provides the means to move beyond traditional reporting of concentration values in three important ways. First, risk takes into consideration toxicity, thereby enabling a dialogue about community health concerns. Second, risk provides a common denominator so that exposure and risk can be compared and priorities identified. Third, exposure and risk can be summed, thereby meeting the community's need for information regarding cumulative exposure. This approach may be a useful model for other researchers conducting exposure assessments in response to community concerns.

The 4-amino-MX (AMX) and 2-amino-MK (AMK) metabolites have been detected in trout fish hemoglobin (Hb) samples by gas chromatography-ion trap-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Twelve Hb samples prepared from rainbow trout that were exposed to MX and MK, over a period of 24 and 72 h, were analyzed. Amino metabolites were liberated by basic hydrolysis and extracted from the fish Hb into n-hexane. The extract was concentrated, analyzed, and spiked with a standard solution (80 pg/ mu l) of AMX or AMK and reanalyzed. Concentrations of AMX from 10 to 25 ng/g were detected in Hb from fish taken 24 and 72 h after MX exposure. At 24 and 72 h after MK exposure, the concentration of AMK was found to be 25-51 ng/g and 9.5-25 ng/g, respectively. Concentrations of AMK in Hb from two of the three trout were substantially lower after 72 h compared with 24 h exposure. The AMX and AMK metabolites were not detected in four control samples. Average recoveries exceeding 89 and 86% could be achieved for AMX and AMK, respectively, with a coefficient of variation (CV) around 5%.

The present study was conducted to determine if the unanticipated estrogenic effects are produced by conversion of MT via aromatase activity to 17 alpha -methylestradiol (ME2). Aromatase activity at the end of a 7-day waterborne MT exposure (20, 200 mu g/l) was significantly decreased in ovarian microsomes and brain homogenates from exposed fish, to about 30-50% of control activity. Although aromatase activity was decreased by 7 days, it is possible that the conversion of MT to ME2 occurred soon after initial exposure. In support of this, ME2 was detected in plasma samples of the fish following the 7-day exposure, confirming their ability convert the androgen MT to the estrogen ME2. The concentration of ME2 in plasma was within the range of plasma 17'-estradiol (E2) found in control female fathead minnows (4-5 ng/ml). These results, in conjunction with competitive binding assays that indicate ME2 binds to the fathead minnow estrogen receptor with a relative binding affinity of 68.3% of E2, support the hypothesis that aromatization of MT to ME2 contributes to the estrogenic effects in fathead minnows following exposure to this androgen JF - Aquatic toxicology AU - Hornung, M W AU - Jensen, K M AU - Korte, J J AU - Kahl, MD AU - Durhan, E J AU - Denny, J S AU - Henry, T R AU - Ankley, G T AD - United States Environmental Protection Agency, Mid-Continent Ecology Division, 6201 Congdon Blvd., Duluth, MN 55804 USA, hornung.michael@epa.gov Y1 - 2004 PY - 2004 DA - 2004 SP - 15 EP - 23 VL - 66 IS - 1 SN - 0166-445X, 0166-445X KW - Fathead minnow KW - ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution & Environmental Quality KW - Pimephales promelas KW - Vitellogenesis KW - Androgenesis KW - Freshwater KW - Sex hormones KW - Q5 08504:Effects on organisms UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/19322584?accountid=14244 L2 - http://vb3lk7eb4t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQ%3Aasfaaquaticpollution&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Aquatic+toxicology&rft.atitle=Mechanistic+basis+for+estrogenic+effects+in+fathead+minnow+%28Pimephales+promelas%29+following+exposure+to+the+androgen+17+alpha+-methyltestosterone%3A+conversion+of+17+alpha+-methyltestosterone+to+17+alpha+-methylestradiol&rft.au=Hornung%2C+M+W%3BJensen%2C+K+M%3BKorte%2C+J+J%3BKahl%2C+MD%3BDurhan%2C+E+J%3BDenny%2C+J+S%3BHenry%2C+T+R%3BAnkley%2C+G+T&rft.aulast=Hornung&rft.aufirst=M&rft.date=2004-01-01&rft.volume=66&rft.issue=1&rft.spage=15&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Aquatic+toxicology&rft.issn=0166445X&rft_id=info:doi/10.1016%2Fj.aquatox.2003.06.004 L2 - http://www.elsevier.com/locate/aqtox LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Date revised - 2006-09-01 N1 - SuppNotes - Physical medium: Printed matter, Internet; http://www.elsevier.com/locate/aquatox N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-07 N1 - SubjectsTermNotLitGenreText - Vitellogenesis; Androgenesis; Sex hormones; Pimephales promelas; Freshwater DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.aquatox.2003.06.004 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Effects of restraint stress in gestation: Implications for rodent developmental toxicology studies AN - 19271340; 5846541 AB - Restraint has been used as a procedure to study the effects of stress on gestation outcome in rodents. The effects of restraint could potentially be used as a model for the impact of general stress produced by high doses of toxicants and other interventions. In mice, restraint in the peri-implantation period leads to implantation failure, and restraint at appropriate times in organogenesis produces cleft palate, supernumerary ribs, and resorption. In rats, there is some evidence for an association with restraint for implantation failure, but not for the morphological anomalies. Restraint in late gestation alters adult sexual behavior of male rat offspring, but consequences for their fertility are not known. Intrauterine growth retardation is not commonly associated with gestational restraint. In the few studies where they have been directly compared, different restraint procedures produced graded, qualitatively different, or no effects. Adrenocortical hormones have been implicated as mediating the effect of restraint on cleft palate, but not on supernumerary ribs, implantation failure, or sexual differentiation. Given the variety of restraint procedures and the varying species-dependent consequences, it is not possible to infer a generalizable pattern of developmental effects due to gestational stress from the restraint literature. As an alternative approach, contemporary methods in gene expression and developmental biology could profitably be applied to understanding different patterns of stress-mediated effects of toxicant exposures on intrauterine development.

We induced dose- related increases in SNR in fetal CD-1 mice by treating on gestation days 7-8 with benomyl (BEN; 0, 75, 150 mg/kg/d), dinoseb (DIN; 0, 30, 50 mg/kg/d); 2- methoxyethanol (2-ME; 0, 75, 150 mg/kg/d), or valproic acid (VPA; 0, 125, 250 mg/kg/d). Incidences of SNR were 9.3-27.6% in controls and 19.3-84.4% in the high dosage groups. SNR length showed a bimodal distribution with peaks at 0.3- 0.4 mm and 0.9-1.1 mm in both treated and control groups. Based on length distributions, we used an actual length of 0.6 mm to separate short (rudimentary) from long (extra) SNR. DIN, 2-ME, and VPA induced a dose-related increase of extra ribs, while the incidence of rudimentary ribs remained at control levels. There was no apparent correlation of the presence of either type of SNR in a fetus and the occurrence of other anomalies. These data support the idea that extra and rudimentary SNR may reflect separate developmental phenomena, and should be considered and reported separately in developmental toxicity studies for risk assessment.

These tolerance values have been used effectively to assess the biological condition of running waters. Generalised additive models were used to associate the presence and absence of different macroinvertebrate genera with different environmental gradients. The model results were then used to classify each genera as sensitive, intermediately tolerant or tolerant to different stressor gradients as quantified by total phosphorus concentration, sulphate ion concentration, qualitative habitat score and stream pH. The analytical approach provided a means of estimating stressor-specific tolerance classifications while controlling for covarying, natural environmental gradients. Computed tolerance classification generally conformed with expectations and provided some capacity for distinguishing between different stressors in test data.

AN - 18051067; 5994050 AB - In the northwestern United States, there is considerable interest in the recovery of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations listed as threatened or endangered. A critical component of any salmon recovery effort is the improvement of stream habitat that supports various life stages. Two factors in concert control the ability to detect consistent change in habitat conditions that could result from significant expenditures on habitat improvement: the magnitude of spatial and temporal variation and the design of the monitoring network. The important components of variation that affect trend detection are summarized here, and how well-designed networks of 30-50 sites monitored consistently over years can detect underlying changes of 1-2% per year in a variety of key habitat characteristics within 10-20 years, or sooner, if such trends are present is explained. The importance of the duration of surveys for trend detection sensitivity is emphasized because the power to detect trends improves substantially with the passage of years.

We tested this idea with 58 pairs of small estuaries (<260 km super(2)) and watersheds in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coastal plain (Delaware Bay to Chesapeake Bay). We considered 34 landscape metrics as potential explanatory variables and seven estuarine parameters as response variables. We developed three logistic regression models: one to calculate the probability of degraded benthic environmental quality (BEQ), as defined by chemical parameters, and two for the probability of degraded estuarine bottom communities, one using a benthic index (BI) and a second using the total number of bottom-dwelling species (TNBS, consisting of benthic macroinvertebrates and fishes). We evaluated the discriminatory power of the models with ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curves of sensitivity and specificity. All three models showed excellent discrimination of high and low values. A model using the sum of all human land uses and percent wetlands correctly classified BEQ in 86% of the cases; low benthic index and low total number of bottom species were each associated with degraded BEQ (p < 0.01). The BI model used percent riparian urban, riparian wetlands, and agriculture on steep slopes (76% correct classification) and correctly predicted high-low benthic index of an independent data set 79% of the time (p < 0.05). The TNBS model used percent wetlands, riparian wetlands, and riparian agriculture (74% correct classification). Watersheds with higher percentages of urban and agricultural land uses were associated with lower benthic environmental quality, benthic index, and biodiversity, whereas those with higher percentages of wetlands were associated with higher numbers. As human development of watersheds increases, statistical prediction rules developed from landscape metrics could be a cost-effective method to identify potentially threatened estuaries.

Within a marsh, its location and relative size are governed largely by the degree of flooding by seawater. Iva's wide distribution and restricted location within salt marshes may make it a useful indicator of overall conditions of the marshes. This work was designed to provide basic information on the age and growth of I. frutescens, especially as they relate to the degree of flooding that is needed in order to investigate Iva's potential as an indicator. Cross- sections of older stems (living and standing dead) from salt marshes in Rhode Island, United States, were examined in order to age stems and estimate their growth rate from cumulative increase in woody tissue. Most stems were six yr old or less, suggesting that aboveground structures live for only a few years. Stem diameter correlated with growth rate and aboveground biomass. Elevation at the root zone was used to estimate the duration that plants were flooded, which was negatively correlated with stem diameter. The most robust plants came from sites that were flooded only up to 6-7% of the total time during the growing season. No plants were found in areas flooded more than 30% of the time.

Exposure to particles occurs mostly indoors, where a main removal mechanism is deposition to surfaces. Deposition can be affected by the use of forced-air circulation through ducts or by air filters. In this study, we calculate the deposition rates of particles in an occupied house due to forced-air circulation and the use of in-duct filters such as electrostatic precipitators (ESP) and fibrous mechanical filters (MECH). Deposition rates are calculated for 128 size categories ranging from 0.01 to 2.5 mu m. More than 110 separate 'events' (mostly cooking, candle burning, and pouring kitty litter) were used to calculate deposition rates for four conditions: fan off, fan on, MECH installed, ESP installed. For all cases, deposition rates varied in a 'U'- shaped distribution with the minimum occurring near 0.1 mu m, as predicted by theory. The use of the central fan with no filter or with a standard furnace filter increased deposition rates by amounts on the order of 0.1-0.5 h super(-1). The MECH increased deposition rates by up to 2 h super(-1) for ultrafine and fine particles but was ineffective for particles in the 0.1-0.5 mu m range. The ESP increased deposition rates by 2-3 h super(-1) and was effective for all sizes. However, the ESP lost efficiency after several weeks and needed regular cleaning to maintain its effectiveness. A reduction of particle levels by 50% or more could be achieved by use of the ESP when operating properly. Since the use of fans and filters reduces particle concentrations from both indoor and outdoor sources, it is more effective than the alternative approach of reducing ventilation by closing windows or insulating homes more tightly. For persons at risk, use of an air filter may be an effective method of reducing exposure to particles.

We evaluated methanol-induced pathogenesis in CD-1 and C57BL/6J embryos exposed during gastrulation in whole embryo culture. Conceptuses with five to seven somites were exposed to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 mg methanol/ml culture medium for 24 hr and embryonic morphology was assessed. Cell death was evaluated by histology and LysoTracker red staining, and cell-cycle distribution was evaluated by flow cytometry. In C57BL/6J embryos, craniofacial defects were observed at 3 mg methanol/ml and greater. The response for CD-1 embryos was different, with increased dysmorphology only at 6 mg/ml. However, protein content in CD-1 embryos was reduced at 3 mg methanol/ml and above, indicating growth retardation. Yolk sac toxicity occurred only at 6 mg methanol/ml in both strains. Methanol caused only small changes in cell-cycle distribution, while cell death was induced at 4 and 6 mg methanol/ml in both strains after 8 hr. The extent of cell death after 8 hr was greater in C57BL/6J embryos, and increased over time through 18 hr; in contrast, CD-1 embryos showed less cell death at 18 than at 8 hr, suggesting recovery. Cell death plays a prominent role in methanol-induced dysmorphogenesis, while cell-cycle perturbation may not. Differences in the extent of cell death between CD-1 and C57BL/6J embryos correlated with differences in the severity of dysmorphogenesis. Published 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

We describe dysmorphogenesis, cell death, cell cycle assessment, and effects on development of cranial ganglia and nerves observed following administration of methanol to pregnant C57BL/6J mice on gestation day (GD) 7. Mice were injected (i.p.) on GD 7 with 0, 2.3, 3.4, or 4.9 gm/kg methanol, split into two doses. In embryos of mice treated with 0 or 4.9 gm/kg methanol, we used histology and LysoTracker red staining on GD 8 0 hr through GD 8 18 hr to examine cell death and dysmorphogenesis, and we also evaluated cell- cycle distribution and proliferation using flow cytometry (FCM) and BrdU immunohistochemistry. On GD 10, we evaluated the effect of GD 7 exposure to 0, 2.3, 3.4, or 4.9 gm/kg methanol on cranial ganglia and nerve development using neurofilament immunohistochemistry. Methanol treatment on GD 7 resulted in reduced mesenchyme surrounding the fore- and midbrain, and in the first branchial arches, by GD 8 12 hr. There were disruptions in the forebrain neuroepithelium and optic pit. Neural crest cell emigration from the mid- and hindbrain region was reduced in methanol-exposed embryos. Methanol had no apparent effect on BrdU incorporation or cell-cycle distribution on GD 8. Cell death was observed in the hindbrain region along the path of neural crest migration and in the trigeminal ganglion on GD 8 18 hr. Development of the cranial ganglia and nerves was adversely affected by methanol. Development of ganglia V, VIII, and IX was decreased at all dosage levels; ganglion VII was reduced at 3.4 and 4.9 gm/kg, and ganglion X was reduced at 4.9 gm/kg. These results suggest that gastrulation-stage methanol exposure affects neural crest cells and the anterior mesoderm and neuroepithelium. Cell death was evident in areas of migrating neural crest cells, but only at time points after methanol was cleared from the embryo, suggesting an indirect effect on these cells.

C57BL/6J fetuses exhibit the holoprosencephaly spectrum of malformations after maternal exposure to ethanol during gastrulation, but the sensitivity of C57BL/6J mice to methanol- induced teratogenesis has not been previously described. Pregnant C57BL/6J mice were administered two i.p. injections totaling 3.4 or 4.9 g/kg methanol or distilled water four hrs apart on gestation day 'GD' 7. On GD 17, litters were examined for numbers of live, dead and resorbed conceptuses, fetuses were weighed as a litter and examined externally, and all fetuses were double stained for skeletal analysis. No maternal intoxication was apparent, but the high dosage level caused a transient deficit in maternal weight gain. The number of live fetuses per litter was reduced at both dosages of methanol, and fetal weight was lower in the high dosage group. Craniofacial defects were observed in 55.8% of fetuses in the low dosage group and 91.0% of fetuses in the high dosage group, including micro/anophthalmia, holoprosencephaly, facial clefts and gross facial angenesis. Skeletal malformations, particularly of the cervical vertebrae, were observed at both dosages of methanol, and were similar to those previously reported in the CD-1 mouse following methanol exposure. The types of craniofacial malformations induced in the C57BL/6J mouse by methanol indicate that methanol and ethanol have common targets and may have common modes of action.

The model was developed and optimized for sediments in Thalassia testudinum seagrass beds of Lower Laguna Madre, Texas, U.S., and is composed of a plant submodel and a sediment diagenetic submodel. Simulations were developed for a natural stressor (harmful algal bloom, Aureoumbra lagunensis) and an anthropogenic stressor (dredging event). The observed harmful algal bloom (HAB) was of limited duration and the simulations of that bloom showed no effect of the algal bloom on biomass trends but did suggest that sediment sulfides could inhibit growth if the bloom duration and intensity were greater. To examine this hypothesis we ran a simulation using data collected during a sustained 4-yr bloom in Upper Laguna Madre. Simulations suggested that light attenuation by the HAB could cause a small reduction in T. testudinum biomass, while input of organic matter from the bloom could promote development of a sediment geochemical environment toxic to T. testudinum leading to a major reduction in biomass. A 3-wk dredging event resulted in sedimentation of a layer of rich organic material and reduction of canopy light for a period of months. The simulations suggested that the seagrass could have recovered from the effects of temporary light reduction but residual effects of high sulfides in the sediments would make the region inhospitable for seagrasses for up to 2.5 yr. These modeling exercises illustrate that both natural and anthropogenic stressors can result in seagrass losses by radically altering the sedimentary geochemical environment.

The goal was to use four ecological indicators (number of species, abundance, biomass, and fish and crab prey abundance) to detect differences among four intertidal habitats in Willapa Bay, Washington, United States. The four habitats were eelgrass (Zostera marina), Atlantic cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), mud shrimp (Upogebia pugettensis), and ghost shrimp (Neotrypaea californiensis). Four sample unit areas (0.005, 0.010, 0.015, and 0.020 m super(2)), two sample unit depths (0-5 and 0-10 cm), and two sieve mesh sizes (1.0 and 0.5 mm) were evaluated. The optimal sampling protocol was defined as the least costly protocol capable of reliably (statistical power, 1 - beta => 0.80) detecting significant (alpha = 0.05) differences among => 4 of the 6 pairwise habitat contrasts by ANOVA on all four ecological indicators. The relative cost of each sampling protocol was estimated as a direct function of the sample unit size and number and the cost-in-processing-time ratios of 1 (5 cm deep):1.7 (10 cm deep) and 1 (=> 1.0 mm macrofauna size fraction):2.5 (=> 0.5 mm macrofauna size fraction), which were taken from previous studies. The optimal sampling protocol was 15-20, 0.01-m super(2) x 5-cm deep, 0.5-mm mesh samples per habitat.

Nekton density and biomass were compared with a 1.75-m super(2) drop ring at 3 sites (marsh, intertidal, and subtidal) in Coggeshall Cove in Narragansett Bay and two subtidal sites (eelgrass and macroalgae) in Ninigret Pond, a coastal lagoon. We collected benthic core samples and examined nekton stomach contents in Coggeshall Cove. We identified 16 species of fish, 16 species of crabs, and 3 species of shrimp in our drop ring samples. A multivariate analysis of variance indicated differences in total nekton, invertebrates, fish, and winter flounder across the five sites. Relative abundance of benthic invertebrate taxa did not match relative abundance of prey taxa identified in the stomachs. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling plots showed groupings in nekton and benthic invertebrate prey assemblages among subtidal, intertidal, and marsh sites in Coggeshall Cove. Stepwise multiple regression indicated that biomass of macroalgae was the most important variable predicting abundance of nekton in Coggeshall Cove, followed by elevation and depth. In Rhode Island systems that do not experience chronic hypoxia, macroalgae adds structure to unvegetated areas and provides refuge for small nekton. All sites sampled were characterized by high abundance and diversity of nekton pointing to the importance of shallow inshore areas for production of fishes and decapods. Measurements of habitat quality should include assessment of the functional significance of a habitat (this can be done by comparing nekton numbers and biomass), some measure of habitat diversity, and a consideration of how habitat quality varies in time and space.

Several causes of action still remain, however, that can be an effective means of achieving environmental justice. This Article will explore these causes of action and show that each has unique characteristics and can present distinct opportunities. This Article will also address the importance of tailoring environmental justice claims to best suit the plaintiff. Finally, this Article will present a case study of a proposal to build a geothermal power plant in an area of California that is sacred to Native Americans, and suggest an effective strategy for bringing an environmental justice claim.

The drainage system monitored ( similar to 90 km long) included an artificial drain, natural creek and river during the irrigation season, and the drain and creek during the non-irrigation season. During the irrigation season, enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) for molinate and passive samplers containing 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TRIMPS) were also used to assess their relative merits in measuring and monitoring pesticide discharges. A wide range of pesticides were analysed, but during the irrigation season, only molinate and thiobencarb were frequently detected in the drain, associated with irrigated rice crops. These pesticides were also detected at the most upstream site of the receiving creek but not further downstream. During the non-irrigation season, atrazine and simazine were often detected in the drain, while dimethoate and glyphosate were occasionally detected. During the irrigation season, the passive samplers detected thiobencarb that was not detected from surface water samples. ELISA was regarded as a useful screening method for molinate, although the method showed higher concentrations of molinate than GC/MS analysis.

A system was designed to score endemic species and remote populations of plants, using an extensive herbarium database to set the spring flora in context. The sum of these indices for individual wetland complexes yielded a ranked score. The high priority wetland complexes (scoring five or greater) adequately represent their floristic composition, capture all endemic plant species and 76% of the flora. Although data are limited, many of the high value spring wetlands have endemic fauna of which the snails have been most thoroughly surveyed. The procedure provides direction for an efficient conservation program that if implemented should provide security against a range of threatening processes.

AN - 16165461; 5854884 AB - Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) have routinely been added to consumer products for several decades in a successful effort to reduce fire-related injury and property damage. Recently, concern for this emerging class of chemicals has risen because of the occurrence of several classes of BFRs in the environment and in human biota. The widespread production and use of BFRs; strong evidence of increasing contamination of the environment, wildlife, and people; and limited knowledge of potential effects heighten the importance of identifying emerging issues associated with the use of BFRs. In this article, we briefly review scientific issues associated with the use of tetrabromobisphenol A, hexabromocyclododecane, and three commercial mixtures of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and discuss data gaps. Overall, the toxicology database is very limited; the current literature is incomplete and often conflicting. Available data, however, raise concern over the use of certain classes of brominated flame retardants.

AN - 71435570; 14630409 AB - This paper presents the results of a national scale evaluation of the environmental impact of surface impoundments that contain non-hazardous wastewaters. In the 1990s, it was found that approximately 18,000 surface impoundments existed in the US for treating, storing or disposing of non-hazardous wastewater. In this study, the focus was on the subset of 11,900 impoundments that contain at least one of 256 chemicals of interest or high or low pH wastewater. Questionnaires were sent to facilities chosen in a two-phase nationally representative random sample. The nature, extent and use of surface impoundments across manufacturing industries were characterized using the information collected in the survey. Also, the chemical composition of impounded wastewaters; the potential for chemical releases to the environment from the impoundments; and the risk from these releases were assessed. It is estimated that only approximately 5-6% of facilities with impoundments have the potential to pose risks to human health, although approximately 19-46% of facilities with impoundments release chemicals of concern to the environment. The information in this study should help environmental managers evaluate and avoid those risk factors that have the potential to result in environmental harm, particularly when present in combination.

AN - 71471541; 14686339 AB - Epidemiologic evidence suggests that increased morbidity and mortality are associated with the concentrations of ambient air particulate matter (PM). Many sources contribute to the particulate fraction of ambient air pollution, including diesel exhaust particulates (DEP). Diesel exhaust also contributes gas-phase pollutants to the atmosphere, and gaseous copollutants may influence the toxicity of PM. The composition of diesel exhaust varies greatly depending on the engine load conditions as well as other factors. To determine whether different diesel exhaust composition can affect lung cell resposes, the effects of of diesel exhaust extracts derived from different engine loads were examined on normal human bronchial epithelial cells (NHBE) in vitro. Diesel exhaust was collected into chilled impingers containing phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cultured NHBE cells were treated with 0 to 500 microg/well extract from approximately 0% engine load (termed low load or LL) or extract from approximately 75% engine load (termed high load or HL) for 24 h. The HL extract was cytotoxic at 500 microg compared to controls as measured by (51)Cr release. Production of the neutrophil chemotaxin interleukin 8 (IL-8) was decreased 4.7-fold in cells treated with 500 microg LL extract, whereas cells treated with 500 microg HL extract showed a 2.4-fold increase in IL-8 release. Production of the inflammatory and immune system mediator prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) was increased up to 2.5-fold in cells treated with HL extract, but unchanged with other treatments. Melittin stimulation of cells showed that the LL extract had an inhibitory effect on PGE(2) release at 500 microg. Differences in carbonyl content of the extracts were found by high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy HPLC/MS, with the HL extract having more intermediate size carbonyls (i.e. with six to nine carbons). The data suggest that the response of NHBE cells to treatment with diesel exhaust will vary depending on the constituent components of the exhaust.

AN - 71516113; 14717192 AB - Experimental data from a laboratory-scale wet scrubber simulator confirmed that oxidized mercury, Hg2+, can be reduced by aqueous S(IV) (sulfite and/or bisulfite) species and results in elemental mercury (HgO) emissions under typical wet FGD scrubber conditions. The S(IV)-induced Hg2+ reduction and Hg0 emission mechanism can be described by a model which assumes that only a fraction of the Hg2+ can be reduced, and the rate-controlling step of the overall process is a first-order reaction involving the Hg-S(IV) complexes. Experimental data and model simulations predict that the Hg2+ in the flue gas can cause rapid increase of Hg0 concentration in the flue gas across a FGD scrubber. Forced oxidation can enhance Hg2+ reduction and Hg0 emission by decreasing the S(IV) concentration in the scrubbing liquor. The model predictions also indicate that flue gas Hg0 increase across a wet FGD scrubber can be reduced by decreasing the pH, increasing S(IV) concentration, and lowering the temperature.

Particulate matter (PM) from Research Triangle Park (NC) was collected and separated into 3 different size fractions: coarse (CO; >3.5 mu m), fine (FI; 1.7-3.5 mu m), and fine/ultrafine (FU; < 1.7, mu m) using impaction and electrostatic precipitation. Particle chemistry indicated the presence of sulfates, zinc, iron, and copper in all fractions. CD1 mice were intratracheally instilled with 10, 50, or 100 mu g of each fraction. After 18h, the lungs were lavaged and assayed for signs of inflammation. All particles produced increases in neutrophil number, and this was highest in the high-dose FU group. Biochemical analysis revealed no change in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and increased albumin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- alpha levels were only seen with the high-dose FI particles. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were increased over control levels after treatment with 100 mu g of all 3 particle sizes. To determine whether oxidative stress may contribute to these effects, antioxidant levels in the lung were boosted by an intraperitoneal (ip) injection with dimethylthiourea (DMTU). This treatment resulted in a twofold increase in the total antioxidant capacity of the lung and decreased the PM-induced cytokine and neutrophil influx up to 50%. The data indicate that on an equal mass basis, ambient particles of these three size ranges produce pulmonary inflammation, and that increasing the antioxidant capacity of the lung reduces particle-induced cytokine and cellular responses.

Such estimates based on direct measurements are quite limited for tropical dry forests. The goal of this study was to assess the species composition and biomass density in an intact Mexican forest representative of the tropical dry forest biome. We then compared our measured biomass with biomass estimates computed with a published model in current use. A total of 72 species were found in a 0.5ha stand with a basal area of 31.3m super(2)ha super(-1). The dominant species, in terms of biomass, were Brosimum alicastrum Sw., Manilkara zapota (L.) Royen, Luehea speciosa Wildl., Pouteria unilocularis (Donn. Sm.) Baehni, Trichilia minutiflora Standl., and Spondias mombin Linn. Tree heights ranged up to 30m and dbh to 82.1cm. Species-specific biomass regression models were developed for the six most common species of large (>10cmdbh) trees and for the nine most common species of small (10cmdbh) trees from the destructive harvest of 698 trees. Mass of large trees (n=195) were used to derive the regression model Y=exp{-2.173+0.868ln(D super(2)TH)+0.0939/2}, where Y is the total dry weight (kg), D the dbh (cm), and TH the total height (m). Total aboveground tree biomass was estimated to be 225Mgha super(-1), and was dominated (85%) by the biomass of the large trees. The actual biomass of each of the 195 large trees was compared to individual tree biomass calculated with a published regression model [Estimating biomass and biomass change of tropical forests. A primer. FAO Forestry Paper 134. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, Italy, 1997] that is based on measurements of 29 trees. We found that the published model underestimated biomass of these trees by 31% (37.6 versus 54.4Mg). Calculated biomass was less than measured biomass for 29 of 33 species. The current study points to the value of site-specific assessment of aboveground biomass and may contribute to more accurate estimates of dry tropical forest biomass densities currently used to estimate greenhouse gas flux from land management activity.

AN - 71523932; 14737232 AB - This paper evaluates the chemical stability of four arsenosugars using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) as an extraction solvent. This solvent was chosen because of the near quantitative removal of these arsenicals from difficult to extract seafood (oysters and shellfish). Four arsenosugars (3-[5'-deoxy-5'-(dimethylarsinoyl)-beta-ribofuranosyloxy]-2-hydroxypropylene glycol--As(328), 3-5'-deoxy-5'-(dimethylarsinoyl)-beta-ribofuranosyloxy]-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid--As(392), 3-[5'-deoxy-5'-(dimethylarsinoyl)-beta-ribofuranosyloxy]-2-hydroxypropyl hydrogen sulfate--As(408), and 3-[5'-deoxy-5'-(dimethylarsinoyl)-beta-ribofuranosyloxy]-2-hydroxypropyl-2,3-hydroxypropyl phosphate--As(482)) were evaluated. The stability of these four arsenosugars were studied independently in a solution of 2.5% TMAOH at 60 degrees C over a period of up to 8 h. Two arsenosugars, As(328) and As(392), were found to be relatively stable in this solution for up to 8 h. However, As(408) and As(482) formed detectable quantities of dimethylarsinic acid (DMAA) and As(328) within 0.5 and 2 h, respectively. It was found that 97% of As(408) degrades after 8 h of treatment producing 3.4 times as much DMAA as As(328). This is contrary to As(482), which produces 13 times as much As(328) as DMAA and only 37% of the As(482) was converted by the 8 h treatment at 60 degrees C. These degradation products led to the investigation of weaker TMAOH extraction solvents. Three different concentrations (2.5%, 0.83% and 0.25%) were used to determine the effect of TMAOH concentration on the degradation rate of As(408). By reducing the TMAOH concentration to 0.83%, the conversion of the arsenosugar to As(328) and DMAA is nearly eliminated (less than 5% loss). Arsenosugars, As(408) and As(482), were also studied in 253 mM NaOH to verify the degradation products. The NaOH experiments were conducted to investigate a possible hydroxide based reaction mechanism. Similar degradation plots were found for each arsenosugar when compared to the 2.5% TMAOH data. A mechanism has been proposed for the formation of As(328) from As(408) and As(482) in base via an SN2 reaction (hydroxide attack) at the side chain carbon adjacent to the inorganic ester. The formation of DMAA is observed in all arsenosugars after prolonged exposure. This probably occurs via an SN2 attack at the arsenic atom.

AN - 71505320; 14680324 AB - The extent to which humans and wildlife are exposed to toxicants is an important focus of environmental research. This work has been directed toward the development of molecular indicators diagnostic for exposure to various stressors in freshwater fish. Research includes the discovery of genes, indicative of environmental exposure, in the Agency's long-established aquatic toxicological organism, the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). Novel cDNAs and coding sequences will be used in DNA microarray analyses for pattern identification of stressor-specific, differentially up- and down-regulated genes. The methods currently used to discover genes in this organism, for which few annotated nucleic acid sequences exist, are cDNA subtraction libraries, differential display, exploiting PCR primers for known genes of other members of the family Cyprinidae and use of degenerate PCR primers designed from regions of moderate protein homology. Single or multiple genes noted as being differentially expressed in microarray analyses will then be used in separate studies to measure bioavailable stressors in the laboratory and field. These analyses will be accomplished by quantitative RT-PCR. Moving from analysis of single gene exposures to the global state of the transcriptome offers possibilities that those genes identified by DNA microarray analyses might be critical components of dynamic biological systems and networks, wherein chemical stressors exert toxic effects through various modes of action. Additionally, the ability to discriminate bioavailability of stressors in complex environmental mixtures, and correlation with adverse effects downstream from these early molecular events, presents challenging new ground to be broken in the area of risk assessment.

Membrane bioreactor system for sulfate reduction. AN - 71459750; 14669874 AB - Several biotreatmemt techniques for sulfate conversion by the sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) have been proposed in the past, however few of them have been practically applied to treat sulfate containing acid mine drainage (AMD). This research deals with development of an innovative polypropylene hollow fiber membrane bioreactor system for the treatment of acid mine water from the Berkeley Pit, Butte, MT, using hydrogen consuming SRB biofilms. The advantages of using the membrane bioreactor over the conventional tall liquid phase sparged gas bioreactor systems are: large microporous membrane surface to the liquid phase; formation of hydrogen sulfide outside the membrane, preventing the mixing with the pressurized hydrogen gas inside the membrane; no requirement of gas recycle compressor; membrane surface is suitable for immobilization of active SRB, resulting in the formation of biofilms, thus preventing washout problems associated with suspended culture reactors; and lower operating costs in membrane bioreactors, eliminating gas recompression and gas recycle costs. Information is provided on sulfate reduction rate studies and on biokinetic tests with suspended SRB in anaerobic digester sludge and sediment master culture reactors and with SRB biofilms in bench-scale SRB membrane bioreactors. Biokinetic parameters have been determined using biokinetic models for the master culture and membrane bioreactor systems. Data are presented on the effect of acid mine water sulfate loading at 25, 50, 75 and 100 ml/min in scale-up SRB membrane units, under varied temperatures (25, 35 and 40 degrees C) to determine and optimize sulfate conversions for an effective AMD biotreatment. Pilot-scale studies have generated data on the effect of flow rates of acid mine water (MGD) and varied inlet sulfate concentrations in the influents on the resultant outlet sulfate concentration in the effluents and on the number of SRB membrane modules needed for the desired sulfate conversion in those systems. The pilot-scale data indicate that the SRB membrane bioreactors systems can be applied toward field-scale biotreatment of AMD and for recovery of high purity metals and an agriculturally usable water.

Metal precipitation for recovery and recycle. AN - 71453019; 14669873 AB - Acid mine drainage (AMD), an acidic metal-bearing wastewater, poses a severe pollution problem attributed to post mining activities. The metals usually encountered in AMD and considered of concern for risk assessment are arsenic, cadmium, iron, lead, manganese, zinc, copper and sulfate. The pollution generated by abandoned mining activities in the area of Butte, Montana has resulted in the designation of the Silver Bow Creek-Butte Area as the largest Superfund (National Priorities List) site in the U.S. This paper reports the results of bench-scale studies conducted to develop a resource recovery based remediation process for the clean up of the Berkeley Pit. The process utilizes selective, sequential precipitation (SSP) of metals as hydroxides and sulfides, such as copper, zinc, aluminum, iron and manganese, from the Berkeley Pit AMD for their removal from the water in a form suitable for additional processing into marketable precipitates and pigments. The metal biorecovery and recycle process is based on complete separation of the biological sulfate reduction step and the metal precipitation step. Hydrogen sulfide produced in the SRB bioreactor systems is used in the precipitation step to form insoluble metal sulfides. The average metal recoveries using the SSP process were as follows: aluminum (as hydroxide) 99.8%, cadmium (as sulfide) 99.7%, cobalt (as sulfide) 99.1% copper (as sulfide) 99.8%, ferrous iron (sulfide) 97.1%, manganese (as sulfide) 87.4%, nickel (as sulfide) 47.8%, and zinc (as sulfide) 100%. The average precipitate purity for metals, copper sulfide, ferric hydroxide, zinc sulfide, aluminum hydroxide and manganese sulfide were: 92.4, 81.5, 97.8, 95.6, 92.1 and 75.0%, respectively. The final produced water contained only calcium and magnesium and both sulfate and sulfide concentrations were below usable water limits. Water quality of this agriculturally usable water met the EPA's gold standard criterion.

AN - 71433204; 14641897 AB - Risk assessments include assumptions about sensitive subpopulations, such as the fraction of the general population that is sensitive and the extent that biochemical or physiological attributes influence sensitivity. Uncertainty factors (UF) account for both pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) components, allowing the inclusion of risk-relevant information to replace default assumptions about PK and PD variance (uncertainty). Large numbers of human organ donor samples and recent advances in methods to extrapolate in vitro enzyme expression and activity data to the intact human enable the investigation of the impact of PK variability on human susceptibility. The hepatotoxicity of trichloroethylene (TCE) is mediated by acid metabolites formed by cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) oxidation, and differences in the CYP2E1 expression are hypothesized to affect susceptibility to TCE's liver injury. This study was designed specifically to examine the contribution of statistically quantified variance in enzyme content and activity on the risk of hepatotoxic injury among adult humans. We combined data sets describing (1) the microsomal protein content of human liver, (2) the CYP2E1 content of human liver microsomal protein, and (3) the in vitro Vmax for TCE oxidation by humans. The 5th and 95th percentiles of the resulting distribution (TCE oxidized per minute per gram liver) differed by approximately sixfold. These values were converted to mg TCE oxidized/h/kg body mass and incorporated in a human PBPK model. Simulations of 8-hour inhalation exposure to 50 ppm and oral exposure to 5 micro g TCE/L in 2 L drinking water showed that the amount of TCE oxidized in the liver differs by 2% or less under extreme values of CYP2E1 expression and activity (here, selected as the 5th and 95th percentiles of the resulting distribution). This indicates that differences in enzyme expression and TCE oxidation among the central 90% of the adult human population account for approximately 2% of the difference in production of the risk-relevant PK outcome for TCE-mediated liver injury.

AN - 71424928; 14514952 AB - Each year, 75 million pounds of the broadleaf herbicide atrazine (ATR) are applied to crops in the United States. Despite limited solubility, ATR is common in ground and surface water, making it of regulatory concern. ATR suppresses the immunomodulatory hormones prolactin (PRL) and the thyroid hormones (THs), with developmental exposure to ATR permanently disrupting PRL regulation. We hypothesized that ATR may cause developmental immunotoxicity through its disruption of PRL or THs. To test this hypothesis, pregnant Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to 35-mg ATR/kg/d from gestational day (GD) 10 through postnatal day (PND) 23. Separate groups were exposed to bromocryptine (BCR) at 0.2 mg/kg/2x/day to induce hypoprolactinemia or to propylthiouracil (PTU) at 2 mg/kg/day to induce hypothyroidism. After the offspring reached immunologic maturity (at least 7 weeks old), the following immune functions were evaluated: natural killer (NK) cell function; delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses; phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages; and antibody response to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC). ATR decreased the primary antibody and DTH responses in male offspring only. Neither PTU nor BCR caused immunosuppression in any measured variable, although PTU increased phagocytosis by peritoneal macrophages. These results demonstrate that developmental exposure to ATR produced gender-specific changes in immune function in adult rats and suggest that immune changes associated with ATR are not mediated through the suppression of PRL or THs.

AN - 71417738; 14648359 AB - Descriptions of changes in hematological indices have contested the premise that the biological effects of suspended particulate matter (PM) are restricted to the lung. Employing approximately 40 hematologic parameters reflecting blood cells, chemistries, mediators, and coagulation factors, we tested the hypothesis that exposure to concentrated ambient air particles (CAPs) can be associated with changes in hematologic indices in normal humans. Twenty healthy young volunteers were exposed to either filtered air (n = 5) or CAPs (n = 15) with a mean PM mass of 120.5 +/- 14.0 microg/m3 and a range from 15.0-357.6 microg/m3. Hematologic indices were measured. Changes in all parameters are expressed as the absolute value either immediately after or 24 h after exposure. Differences between responses of those individuals exposed to filtered air and CAPs were tested using the T-test of independent means. If significant differences between the two groups were suggested by the T-test (p < .10), the relationship was further evaluated employing linear regression techniques. Regression analysis verified significant linear relationships between particle mass the individual was exposed to and (1) decrements in WBC count 24 h later, (2) decreases in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentration 24 h later, and (3) elevations in fibrinogen levels 24 h later. There were no changes in either inflammatory mediators in the blood or indices of coagulation/fibrinolysis other than fibrinogen. We conclude that exposure of healthy volunteers to CAPs can be associated with decreases of both white blood cell (WBC) count and LDH and increased concentrations of fibrinogen in the blood.

AN - 71351868; 14607401 AB - U.S. EPA Methods 1622 and 1623 are used to detect and quantify Cryptosporidium oocysts in water. The protocol consists of filtration, immunomagnetic separation (IMS), staining with a fluorescent antibody, and microscopic analysis. Microscopic analysis includes detection by fluorescent antibody and confirmation by the demonstration of 1-4 sporozoites or nuclei after staining with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenyl indole dihydrochloride (DAPI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new IMS dissociation, a 10-min incubation at 80 degrees C. Heat dissociation improved the average oocyst recovery from 41% to 71% in seeded reagent water, and from 10% to 51% in seeded river samples. The average DAPI confirmation rate improved from 49% to 93% in reagent water, and from 48% to 73% in river samples. This modification improved both oocyst recovery and confirmation.

The amphibole-rich rock is the suspected cause of an abnormally high number of asbestos-related diseases reported in the residents of Libby, and in former mine and mill workers. The amphibole-rich samples were analyzed to determine composition and morphology of both fibrous and non-fibrous amphiboles. Sampling was carried out across the accessible portions of the deposit to obtain as complete a representation of the distribution of amphibole types as possible. The range of amphibole compositions, determined from electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction analysis, indicates the presence of winchite, richterite, tremolite, and magnesioriebeckite. The amphiboles from Vermiculite Mountain show nearly complete solid solution between these end-member compositions. Magnesio-arfvedsonite and edenite may also be present in low abundance. An evaluation of the textural characteristics of the amphiboles shows the material to include a complete range of morphologies from prismatic crystals to asbestiform fibers. The morphology of the majority of the material is intermediate between these two varieties. All of the amphiboles, with the possible exception of magnesioriebeckite, can occur in fibrous or asbestiform habit. The Vermiculite Mountain amphiboles, even when originally present as massive material, can produce abundant, extremely fine fibers by gentle abrasion or crushing.

Methods for efficient, systematic reserve selection have generally been designed to maximize the protection of biodiversity while minimizing the costs of reserves. These techniques have not directly addressed the factors threatening species at specific sites. By incorporating measures of site vulnerability into reserve selection procedures, conservation planners can prioritize sites based on both representing biodiversity and the immediacy of factors threatening it. Here we develop two complementary approaches for identifying areas for conservation based on species composition and potential threats facing the species. These approaches build on two established methods of systematic reserve selection. The first approach involves mapping irreplaceability (a statistic derived from reserve selection theory that measures the potential importance of a site for protecting all species) and the degree to which the area is vulnerable to threats from three basic anthropogenic factors (the percentages of a site devoted to agriculture, to urban and suburban development, and to open mines). We classified areas with respect to both irreplaceability and the three indicators of vulnerability, producing a continuous ranking of all sites based on these factors. Our second approach was to incorporate site vulnerability into a reserve selection algorithm. This approach allowed us to locate those sets of sites that protected all species and were most likely to be threatened by human activities. These two analyses can provide regional-scale guidance for conservation in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, and they demonstrate two potential tools for solving complex conservation-planning problems.

Bioassessments reveal impairments but do not identify causes of impairments, a necessary step in the restoration of aquatic life. Furthermore, changes in biological condition are often caused by multiple stressors (chemical, physical, biological). To address this need, the USEPA has developed guidance to identify probable causes of biological impairments in aquatic ecosystems and to provide a structure for organizing the scientific evidence to make a credible case. The concepts and organizational structure of the process have potential applications to most ecoepi-demiological investigations.

As predicted by equilibrium thermodynamics, at near-neutral pH the experimental solutions were undersaturated with respect to orpiment (As sub(2)S sub(3)). However, upon acidification to pH 2 with HCl or HNO sub(3), instantaneous precipitation of poorly crystalline As sub(2)S sub(3) occurred in sulfidic solutions which resulted in the loss of dissolved arsenite. These results have implications concerning the practice of acidifying water samples containing hydrogen sulfide with HCl or HNO sub(3) for the purpose of preserving total arsenic values. If a near-neutral water sample contains 1 ppm arsenite and as little as 0.4 ppm sulfide, loss of dissolved arsenic will occur upon acidification. An alternative three-step preservation method involving base addition, oxidation, and acidification is proposed and investigated as an appropriate technique for preserving sulfide-bearing aqueous samples for total arsenic.

Despite this, prominent stream monitoring protocols focus on canopy closure (obstruction of the sky as a whole) rather than on measures of solar exposure or shading. We identify a candidate set of solar exposure metrics that can be derived from hemispheric images. These metrics enable a more mechanistic evaluation of solar exposure than can be achieved with canopy closure metrics. Data collected from 31 stream reaches in eastern Oregon enable us to quantify and compare metrics of solar exposure from hemispheric images and a metric of canopy closure with a concave densiometer. Repeatability of hemispheric metrics is generally as good as or better than the densiometer closure metric, and variation in the analysis of hemispheric images attributable to differences between analysts is negligibly small. Metrics from the hemispheric images and the densiometer are typically strongly correlated, at the scale of an individual observation and for 150 m stream reaches, but not always in a linear fashion. We quantify the character of the uncertainty in the relationship between the densiometer and the hemispheric metrics. Hemispheric imagery produces repeatable metrics representing an important ecological attribute; thus those researching the effects of solar exposure on stream ecosystems should consider the use of hemispheric imagery.

We found that subpopulations at many sites turn over frequently, with breeding choruses absent or undetectable in most years. Frequencies of detection across sites were significantly associated with the density of wetland patches (all species) and the areal extent of several terrestrial land cover categories (seven species) within 1 km. Intraspecific population fluctuations were statistically synchronized between survey sites separated by up to 50-100 km, but synchrony was not strong. Anuran abundances were significantly correlated with rainfall 1-4 years earlier, indicating that rainfall influences population fluctuations. However, population synchrony was much weaker than rainfall synchrony. Managers attempting to maintain amphibian populations regionally should focus on maintaining landscapes with high densities of wetlands and sufficient upland habitat resources. The dynamic nature of amphibian populations at individual wetlands is well known, and our results suggest that species distributions at the landscape level are similarly dynamic.

Larval Tallaperla spp. (Plecoptera:Peltoperlidae) were chosen as representative shredders and non-Tanypodinae Chironomidae (Diptera) were selected as representative collector-gatherers. Larval growth rates were measured in the treatment stream and in 2 undisturbed reference streams using in situ growth chambers. Estimates of daily growth rates were derived from change in mean length of larvae over incubation periods. Initial larval length was a significant predictor of growth in each stream for both taxonomic groups (r super(2) = 0.43-0.72, p < 0.05). Comparison of significant regression lines showed that size-specific growth of both Tallaperla spp. and chironomids was significantly reduced in the litter exclusion stream (ANCOVA, p < 0.05). Lower chironomid growth rates in the treatment stream than in the control streams indicate that production estimates based on the instantaneous growth method are actually lower than previously reported for the site. Mortality of Tallaperla spp. was also significantly higher in the treatment stream than in control streams (ANOVA, p < 0.05). Reduced growth of these representative taxa apparently results from reduced quantity of organic matter food resources. These results show that reduced growth is partially responsible for observed declines in detritivore production in the litter-exclusion stream. Riparian vegetation is often removed by urban development, logging, and agricultural activities. Failure to maintain appropriate riparian vegetation alters the connectivity between streams and the surrounding landscape and results in loss of the detrital subsidy. Several studies have now demonstrated the importance of detritus for stream ecosystem productivity (Hynes 1963, Fisher and Likens 1973, Wallace et al. 1997, 1999). Our results support those findings, and show that reduced growth of insect detritivores is yet another consequence of severing the terrestrial-aquatic linkage.

An arena ripe for application of such analysis is the deployment of transgenic crops. The new transgenic pesticidal or plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) crops have seen widespread application in the United States based on the features of higher yield, lower applications of insecticides, and control of mycotoxin content. However, open rejection of these new crops in Europe and in other countries has been a surprising message and has limited their worldwide acceptance. The US Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) has worked on the development and analysis of insect resistance management (IRM) strategies and has mandated specific IRM requirements for Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops since 1995 under the Food, Fungicide, Insecticide, and Rodenticide Act. Improvement of data quality and sustainability of IRM strategies have been targeted in an ongoing partnership between the USEPA Office of Research and Development and the Office of Pesticide Programs that will further enhance the agency's ability to develop sustainable insect resistance management strategies for transgenic field corn (Bt corn) producing B. thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal proteins.

Previous work has demonstrated a reduced capacity to support long-term potentiation (LTP) in animals exposed to a PCB mixture, Aroclor 1254 (A1254) via the dam in utero and throughout the preweaning period [Brain Res. 850; 1999:87-95; Toxicol. Sci. 57; 2000:102-11]. Assessment of normalized input/output (I/O) functions collected prior to LTP induction failed to reveal consistent differences in baseline synaptic transmission between control and PCB-exposed groups. The present study was designed to systematically evaluate excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission using a more extensive I/O analysis and paired pulse functions to assess short-term plasticity. Pregnant Long-Evans rats were administered either corn oil (control) or 6 mg/kg per day of A1254 by gavage from gestational day (GD) 6 until pups were weaned on postnatal day (PND) 21. In adult male offspring (5-11 months of age), field potentials evoked by perforant path stimulation were recorded in the dentate gyrus under urethane anesthesia. Detailed I/O functions were assessed by averaging the responses evoked in the dentate gyrus to stimulus pulses delivered to the perforant path in an extensive ascending intensity series. Population spike (PS) and postsynaptic potential (PSP) amplitudes recorded in the dentate gyrus were significantly enhanced in PCB-exposed animals relative to controls at midrange intensities. No group differences were observed in EPSP slope amplitudes. Short-term plasticity was assessed by delivering pairs of stimulus pulses at interpulse intervals (IPIs) ranging from 10 to 70 ms. In the dentate gyrus this range of intervals activates both inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms leading to a pattern of depression at brief intervals (<30 ms) followed by facilitation as the interval between pulses is extended. Paired pulse depression was decreased at an intermediate IPI (30 ms) with submaximal stimulus intensities. These data augment previous work demonstrating persistent changes in hippocampal plasticity as a result of exposure to PCBs during development. Furthermore, as increases in field potential amplitudes were observed, these findings support previous conclusions that A1254-induced LTP deficits are not readily attributable to reductions in synaptic excitability. Thus, in addition to impairment in use-dependent synaptic plasticity reported previously, the present report reveals that basic components of information processing within the hippocampus are permanently altered as a result of perinatal exposure to PCBs.

Our goal was to establish an in vivo murine model for hazard identification of LMW chemicals that have the potential to induce respiratory hypersensitivity (RH). We used a dermal sensitization protocol followed by a respiratory challenge with the evaluation of endpoints typically associated with RH in human disease. Trimellitic anhydride (TMA) was used as a prototype respiratory sensitizer and was compared to the dermal sensitizer; 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), along with vehicle controls. BALB/c mice were dermally sensitized using two exposure protocols. Mice in both protocols were dermally exposed on experimental days; D-18 and D-17 (abdomen), and D-13 (ear). On D 0 mice received an intratracheal (IT) challenge. The mice in Protocol 2 were abdominally exposed twice with the addition of exposures on D-25 and D-24. Results indicate that mice required the additional dermal sensitization and the IT challenge (Protocol 2) to significantly elevate total IgE in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Additional responses suggestive of RH were seen following Protocol 2, including increases in BALF cell numbers and neutrophils post IT with TMA (but not DNFB). These data suggest that the dermal sensitization and IT challenge followed by evaluation of serum antibodies and lung parameters are a reasonable and logistically feasible approach towards the development of a model for RH responses to LMW chemicals.

Despite such reports from several populations, only one statistical analysis of loggerhead shrike territory distribution has been published to date. I use a spatio-temporal simulation technique to test for deviations from randomness in the spatial distribution of point data that takes into account date of nest establishment. I apply this model to data on the distribution of shrike nests in Comanche County, Oklahoma, USA, collected over the 1998 and 1999 breeding seasons. When the data are considered without regard to date of nest-establishment, the results are equivocal; nests are significantly aggregated in 1999, but not 1998. However, when order of nest establishment is taken into account, later nests are significantly more likely to be closer than expected to conspecifics in both years. This is true even when the distribution of simple resources, such as suitable nest-trees, is included in the model. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that loggerhead shrikes 'prospect' for suitable habitat using the distribution of breeding conspecifics. This aspect of loggerhead shrike breeding ecology should be considered for both habitat conservation and captive breeding and reintroduction programs for this species.

A striking example of plant species importance is the influence of N sub(2)-fixing red alder (Alnus rubra) on nutrient cycling in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. To understand the influence of red alder on watershed nutrient export, we studied the chemistry of 26 small watershed streams within the Salmon River basin of the Oregon Coast Range. Nitrate and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) concentrations were positively related to broadleaf cover (dominated by red alder: 94% of basal area), particularly when near-coastal sites were excluded (r super(2) = 0.65 and 0.68 for nitrate-N and DON, respectively). Nitrate and DON concentrations were more strongly related to broadleaf cover within entire watersheds than broadleaf cover within the riparian area alone, which indicates that leaching from upland alder stands plays an important role in watershed nitrogen (N) export. Nitrate dominated over DON in hydrologic export (92% of total dissolved N), and nitrate and DON concentrations were strongly correlated. Annual N export was highly variable among watersheds (2.4-30.8 kg N ha super(-1) y super(-1)), described by a multiple linear regression combining broadleaf and mixed broadleaf-conifer cover (r super(2) = 0.74). Base cation concentrations were positively related to nitrate concentrations, which suggests that nitrate leaching increases cation losses. Our findings provide evidence for strong control of ecosystem function by a single plant species, where leaching from N saturated red alder stands is a major control on N export from these coastal watersheds.

Such relationships, however, are thought to be rare in wetland plant roots, although several recent studies suggest that arbuscular mycorrhizae may be important in wetland ecosystems. Our objectives were to determine (1) the level of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of plant roots in three freshwater marshes and (2) the effect of restoration status, hydrologic zone, and plant species identity on mycorrhizal colonization. We quantified the percentage of plant roots colonized by mycorrhizal fungi in one reference and two restored freshwater marshes in northern Indiana, USA during summer 1999. Roots were collected from soil cores taken around dominant plant species present in each of three hydrologic zones and then stained for microscopic examination of mycorrhizal colonization. Mycorrhizae were present in each wetland, in all hydrologic zones and in all sampled plants, including Carex and Scirpus species previously thought to be non-mycorrhizal. Both restored and reference wetlands had moderate levels of mycorrhizal colonization, but no clear trends in colonization were seen with hydrologic zone, which has been hypothesized to regulate the formation of mycorrhizae in wetlands. Mycorrhizal colonization levels in the roots of individual species ranged from 3 to 90% and were particularly large in members of the Poaceae (grass) family. Our results suggest that arbuscular mycorrhizae may be widely distributed across plant species and hydrologic zones in both restored and reference freshwater marshes. Thus, future research should examine the functional role of mycorrhizal fungi in freshwater wetlands.

Using 1-km advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) satellite-based land cover, we present a method to separate forest fragmentation into natural and anthropogenic components, and report results for all inhabited continents summarized by World Wildlife Fund biomes. Globally, over half of the temperate broadleaf and mixed forest biome and nearly one quarter of the tropical rainforest biome have been fragmented or removed by humans, as opposed to only 4% of the boreal forest. Overall, Europe had the most human-caused fragmentation and South America the least. This method may allow for improved risk assessments and better targeting for protection and remediation by identifying areas with high amounts of human-caused fragmentation.

The availability and appropriate use of biomarkers to determine absorbed doses of environmental chemicals such as OPs are critical issues. Biomarkers of OP exposure are typically measured in blood and urine; however, postpartum meconium has been shown to be a promising matrix for assessing cumulative in utero exposure to the fetus, and studies are currently in progress to determine the utility of using saliva and amniotic fluid as matrices. In this article, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the currently available OP exposure monitoring methods (cholinesterase inhibition in blood, pesticides in blood, metabolites in urine and alternative matrices); study design issues for a large, long-term study of children's environmental health; and current research and future research needs. Because OPs are rapidly metabolized and excreted, the utility of one-time spot measurements of OP biomarkers is questionable unless background exposure levels are relatively stable over time or a specific time frame of interest for the study is identified and samples are collected accordingly. Biomarkers of OP exposure can be a valuable tool in epidemiology of children's environmental health, as long as they are applied and interpreted appropriately.

Some practitioners have advocated an ecological approach (i.e., "top down") to wildlife assessments to account directly for the uncertainties inherent in aggregating direct toxicological effects to individuals when estimating population risk (i.e., "bottom up" techniques). This paper suggests a methodology for conducting wildlife risk assessments that incorporates both the "bottom up" and "top down" techniques by taking into account multiple lines of evidence that are gathered by proceeding through a tiered approach including: 1) concentration of chemicals in relation to levels reported to be harmful; 2) bioassays or toxicity studies to define dose-response relationships; and 3) field studies of population or community responses. A step-wise process progressing through these three tiers is a cost-effective method for developing the necessary information. This method is analogous to standard epidemiological approaches. Incorporation of continued monitoring and directed field studies into risk management is suggested as a means to move forward with environmental management decisions in the face of the significant uncertainties that will continue to be associated with wildlife risk assessments.

As these developments continue, it is reasonable that some of these chemistries or technologies have the potential to be implemented on the plant scale. With this in mind, a new green technology will most certainly have a potential impact on the sustainability of a process. It should also be noted that although a "green" technology may appear environmentally friendly, there currently is no all-inclusive methodology for assessing the actual sustainability of the chemical reaction or process. In order to assess a process, a set of sustainability indicators, or metrics, are required. Research within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has laid the foundation for an indicator model, GREENSCOPE (Gauging Reaction Effectiveness for the ENvironmental Sustainability of Chemistries with a multi-Objective Process Evaluator), that evaluates a particular reaction or process for sustainability in the following areas: Environment, Energy, Efficiency, and Economics. These four Es provide a quantitative definition of process sustainability, and allow for a direct comparison between two similar processes with differing reaction chemistries or process technologies. These aspects of sustainable chemical research will also be of importance as bench processes are scaled up to sustainable industrial processes.

Should this rate of use be maintained, two dire consequences will follow: first, the future generations will be unable to maintain a high standard of living, and second, developing countries will have less of an opportunity to bring their living standards to a level comparable to that of the affluent West. The practice of chemical engineering, perhaps more than any other technical discipline, involves the use of natural material and energy resources for the production of value-added articles and services of commerce. It is critically important that chemists and chemical engineers incorporate the ideas of sustainability into process and product design, manufacturing, and value chain management for the purpose of minimizing resource utilization and adverse environmental impact. This paper deals with the ideas of sustainability, and what chemists and chemical engineers can do to prevent the consequences of unsustainable resource utilization.

Consumption leads to different kinds of environmental impacts from all parts of a product's life cycle: raw material extraction, production, use, recovery, and final disposal, including transportation throughout the cycle. Working with products embraces many different environmental problems, instruments and mechanisms, stakeholders, various policy areas, etc. The current structure of industry and the considerable amount of international trade requires a strategy that takes these conditions into account in advancing sustainable production and consumption. The European Union has developed an Integrated Product Policy, built on life cycle thinking, in order to reduce resource use. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) was commissioned by the Swedish Government in 2001 to develop the Integrated Product Policy (IPP). The aim of IPP is to minimize the impact of products on human health and the environment throughout their life cycles, from cradle-tograve, to improve sustainable production and consumption, and advance the government's environmental quality objectives. SEPA studied how instruments and mechanisms can work together and be made more effective, and what new instruments and mechanisms might be needed to achieve the goals laid down in IPP. This paper presents the results of the study.

A Look at Three USEPA Case Studies AN - 16171283; 5896727 AB - The movement to buy "environmentally-friendly" products was recently reinvigorated by the signing of the 2002 Farm Act that requires all federal agencies to give preference to products made, in whole or significant part, from biobased material. This paper addresses the reality behind widely held beliefs regarding "green" issues, and shows how complex it can be to choose among alternative products. Examples are presented in which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) used different approaches, all based on life cycle assessment (LCA), to evaluate the environmental trade-offs of bio-based alternatives. These examples incorporate various combinations of life cycle inventory (LCI) and life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). The first example presents results of a USEPA Office of Research & Development (ORD) project called the Framework for Responsible Environmental Decision-Making (FRED). The FRED framework uses a set of impact categories in an LCIA. Motor oil, wall insulation, and asphalt coating alternatives were all studied using FRED. The second example is a pilot study in the USEPA's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing program. Using a mix of LCI and LCIA, transformer oil and hard surface cleaner alternatives were evaluated. Finally, the paper presents preliminary LCI results of another ORD effort comparing fuel additives ethanol and MTBE. These examples demonstrate that the move to bio-based products is not an across-the-board "win" for the environment. While LCAs cannot, at this time, provide a definitive answer as to the preferability of bio-based products, it is the best tool to identify environmental trade-offs, thereby providing additional information to support decision-making.

This was a 1-year investigation of PM and related co-pollutants involving participants living within the RTP area of North Carolina. Primary goals were to characterize the relationships between ambient and residential PM measures to those obtained from personal exposure monitoring and estimate ambient source contributions to personal and indoor mass concentrations. A total of 38 participants living in 37 homes were involved in personal, residential indoor, residential outdoor and ambient PM sub(2.5) exposure monitoring. Participants were 30 non-smoking hypertensive African-Americans living in a low-moderate SES neighborhood (SE Raleigh, NC) and a cohort of eight individuals having implanted cardiac defibrillators (Chapel Hill, NC). Residential and ambient monitoring of PM sub(10) and PM sub(10-2.5) (coarse by differential) was also performed. The volunteers were monitored for seven consecutive days during each of four seasons (summer 2000, fall 2000, winter 2001, spring 2001). Individual PM sub(2.5) personal exposure concentrations ranged from 4 to 218 mu g m super(-3) during the study. The highest personal exposures were determined to be the result of passive environmental tobacco exposures. Subsequently, similar to 7% of the total number of personal exposure trials were excluded to minimize this pollutant's effect upon the overall analysis. Results indicated that a pooled data set (seasons, cohorts, residences, participants) was appropriate for investigation of the basic mass concentration relationships. Daily personal PM sub(2.5) mass concentrations were typically higher than their associated residential or ambient measurements (mean PERSONAL=23.0, INDOOR=19.1, OUTDOOR=19.3, AMBIENT=19.2 mu g m super(-3)). Mean personal PM sub(2.5) exposures were observed to be only moderately correlated to ambient PM sub(2.5) concentrations (r=0.39).

One member of each pair served as a reference site and the other was affected by mild to moderate human disturbance from a point or diffuse source (fish farm effluents, small municipal sewage discharges, a dam, agriculture and grazing). Samples were taken from riffles, stream edges and rocks in pools, mostly using hand nets (RBA) and Hess samplers (quantitative). Macroinvertebrates in RBA samples were always subsampled by live-picking by eye on site for 30 min. Comparisons were made between novice operators (university undergraduates) and experienced river biologists in the application of RBA, including sample identification. Quantitative samples were collected only by experienced river biologists, preserved and picked under stereomicroscopes in the laboratory, either in their entirety or after mechanical subsampling. Specimens were identified to family level for both methods. Novices recorded slightly fewer families than experts and misidentified some specimens, and expert data for the same site and habitat were on average more consistent than novice data. Nevertheless, Procrustes analysis of ordinations showed that differences between RBA and quantitative data did not depend on the type of RBA operator. And regardless of the operator, RBA data were better than quantitative data at discriminating between reference and disturbed sites for all three habitat types. We conclude that this type of RBA is sensitive and cost-effective, and we recommend improvements to inter-operator consistency.

Following the application, measurements were made in the kitchen, den and master bedroom over 21 days. Airborne concentrations were collected using both polyurethane foam (PUF) and the OSHA versatile sampler composed of XAD and PUF media located in tandem. Measured airborne concentrations were similar for the two samplers and were higher in the three rooms following the application. The highest measured concentrations were reached during the initial 24-h following application; concentrations subsequently declined over the 21-day study period to levels slightly above background. Spatial and temporal distributions onto surfaces were measured using 10-cm super(2) rayon deposition coupons located on the floor. Sections were cut from existing carpet to determine the total extractable residues. Chlorpyrifos was measured from all matrixes in the kitchen, den and bedroom and the data shows the transport of airborne residues from the point of application to remote locations in the house. The findings are compared and discussed relative to another study conducted in which total release aerosols containing chlorpyrifos were activated in the IAQ research house and the resulting distributions evaluated. For both studies dose estimates were constructed for the exposure pathways using the Stochastic Human Exposure and Dose Estimation Model for pesticides. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has been mandated to examine children's exposure to environmental pollutants such as pesticides.

AN - 71432001; 14655712 AB - As part of the EPA's mission to protect the environment, chemicals of concern (CoCs) at Superfund or other hazardous waste sites are cleaned up based on their potential toxicity to humans and the surrounding ecosystem. Oftentimes, there is a lack of experimental toxicity data to assess the health effects for a CoC in the literature. This research describes a method using Quantitative Structure Toxicity Relationships (QSTRs) for identifying a surrogate chemical for any given CoC. The toxicity data of the surrogate chemical can then be used to rank hazardous waste-site chemicals prior to cleanup decisions. A commercial QSTR model, TOPKAT, was used to establish structural and descriptor similarity between the CoC and the compounds in the QSTR model database using the Oral Rat Chronic LOAEL model. All database chemicals within a similarity distance of < or = 0.200 from the CoC are considered as potential surrogates. If the CoC fails to satisfy model considerations for the LOAEL model, no surrogate is suggested. Potential surrogates that have toxicity data on Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), Health Effects Assessment Summary Tables (HEAST), or National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) provisional toxicity value list become candidate surrogates. If more than one candidate surrogate is identified, the chemical with the most conservative RfD is suggested as the surrogate. The procedure was applied to determine an appropriate surrogate for dichlorobenzophenone (DCBP), a metabolite of chlorobenzilate, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, and dicofol. Forty-seven potential surrogates were identified that were within the similarity distance of < or = 0.200, of which only five chemicals had an RfD on IRIS, HEAST, or on the NCEA provisional toxicity value list. Among the five potential surrogates, chlorobenzilate with an RfD of 2 x 10(-2) mg/kg-day was chosen as a surrogate for DCBP as it had the most conservative toxicity value. This compared well with surrogate selection using available metabolic information for DCBP and its metabolites or parent compounds in the literature and the provisional toxicity value of 3 x 10(-2) mg/kg-day that NCEA developed using a subchronic study.

AN - 75715894; 14511724 AB - The main objective of this paper is to use Bayesian methods to estimate the kinetic parameters for the inactivation kinetics of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts with chlorine dioxide or ozone which are characterized by the delayed Chick-Watson model, i.e., a lag phase or shoulder followed by pseudo-first-order rate of inactivation. As the length of the lag phase (CT(lag)) is not known, Bayesian statistics provides a more accurate approach than traditional statistical methods to fitting the delayed Chick-Watson kinetics. Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is used to estimate CT(lag) and first-order rate constant values. This method is also used to estimate the minimum CT requirement (with safety factor) for 99% inactivation of C. parvum oocysts.

These have received some attention in the mathematical literature, but very little has appeared on their applications to chemical graphs. The present study focuses on these and also generalizes the acyclic or matching polynomial to an equally large class of acyclic immanantal polynomials, generalizes the Sachs theorem to immanantal polynomials, and sets forth relationships between the immanants and other graph properties, namely, Kekulé structure count, number of Hamiltonian cycles, Clar covering polynomial, and Hosoya sextet polynomial.

AN - 71353911; 14620836 AB - The Solvent Extraction Residual Biotreatment (SERB) technology was evaluated at a former dry cleaner site in Jacksonville, FL, where an area of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) contamination was identified. The SERB technology is a treatmenttrain approach for complete site restoration, which combines an active in situ dense nonaqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) removal technology, cosolvent extraction, with a passive enhanced in situ bioremediation technology, reductive dechlorination. During the in situ cosolvent extraction test, approximately 34 kL of 95% ethanol/5% water (v:v) was flushed through the contaminated zone, which removed approximately 60% of the estimated PCE mass. Approximately 2.72 kL of ethanol was left in the subsurface, which provided electron donorfor enhancement of biological processes in the source zone and downgradient areas. Quarterly groundwater monitoring for over 3 yr showed decreasing concentrations of PCE in the source zone from initial values of 4-350 microM to less than 150 microM during the last sampling event. Initially there was little to no daughter product formation in the source zone, but after 3 yr, measured concentrations were 242 microM for cis-dichloroethylene (cis-DCE), 13 microM for vinyl chloride, and 0.43 microM for ethene. In conjunction with the production of dissolved methane and hydrogen and the removal of sulfate, these measurements indicate that in situ biotransformations were enhanced in areas exposed to the residual ethanol. First-order rate constants calculated from concentration data for individual wells ranged from -0.63 to -2.14 yr(-1) for PCE removal and from 0.88 to 2.39 yr(-1) for cis-DCE formation. First-order rate constants based on the change in total mass estimated from contour plots of the groundwater concentration data were 0.75 yr(-1) for cis-DCE, -0.50 yr(-1) for PCE, and -0.33 yr(-1) for ethanol. Although these attenuation rate constants include additional processes, such as sorption, dispersion, and advection, they provide an indication of the overall system dynamics. Evaluation of the groundwater data from the former dry cleaner site showed that cosolvent flushing systems can be designed and utilized to aid in the enhancement of biodegradation processes at DNAPL sites.

AN - 71353329; 14603346 AB - The transfer of pesticides from household surfaces to foods was measured to determine the degree of excess dietary exposure that occurs when children's foods contact contaminated surfaces prior to being eaten. Three household flooring surfaces (ceramic tile, hardwood, and carpet) were contaminated with an aqueous emulsion of commercially available pesticides (diazinon, heptachlor, malathion, chlorpyrifos, isofenphos, and cis- and trans-permethrin) frequently found in residential environments. A surface wipe method, as typically used in residential exposure studies, was used to measure the pesticides available on the surfaces as a basis for calculating transfer efficiency to the foods. Three foods (apple, bologna, and cheese) routinely handled by children before eating were placed on the contaminated surfaces and transfers of pesticides were measured after 10 min contact. Other contact durations (1 and 60 min) and applying additional contact force (1500 g) to the foods were evaluated for their impact on transferred pesticides. More pesticides transferred to the foods from the hard surfaces, that is, ceramic tile and hardwood flooring, than from carpet. Mean transfer efficiencies for all pesticides to the three foods ranged from 24% to 40% from ceramic tile and 15% to 29% from hardwood, as compared to mostly non-detectable transfers from carpet. Contact duration and applied force notably increased pesticide transfer. The mean transfer efficiency for the seven pesticides increased from around 1% at 1 min to 55- 83% when contact duration was increased to 60 min for the three foods contacting hardwood flooring. Mean transfer efficiency for 10-min contact increased from 15% to 70% when a 1500 g force was applied to bologna placed on hardwood flooring. Contamination of food occurs from contact with pesticide-laden surfaces, thus increasing the potential for excess dietary exposure of children.

AN - 71318781; 14587918 AB - The risk of photoactivated PAH toxicity in contaminated aquatic systems has not been well characterized. To document risk, amphipods (Gammarus spp.) were collected from two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sites in the lower St. Louis River and Duluth Harbor, USA (Hog Island and USX) as well as a reference site (Chipmunk Cove) and were exposed in two separate, replicate tests to controlled intensities of solar radiation for 3 d. Contaminated site organisms died significantly faster compared to control site organisms. In all tests, mortality was strongly related to ultraviolet-A (UV-A; 320-400 nm) dose. Ultraviolet-B (280-320 nm) radiation did not increase mortality. To compare susceptibility among populations, regressions of arcsine-transformed, proportionate mortality versus UV dose were completed for each, and the slopes were statistically compared. Response slopes for the two contaminated site populations were both significantly greater than the reference site population (p = 0.0001 for test 1; p = 0.0002 for test 2). These results indicate that organisms residing in PAH-contaminated environments can accumulate PAH concentrations sufficient to be at risk for photoactivated toxicity. Although amphipods are not typically at risk of PAH-photoactivated toxicity because they are largely protected from exposure to sunlight, they are representative surrogates for species that may be similarly protected at some life stages (and thus able to accumulate significant PAH tissue concentrations) but not at others.

The potential exposure and associated health risks due to the contaminants are dependent upon the environmental transport mechanisms, as well as the pathways by which receptors may be exposed to the transported chemicals. For the groundwater pathway, particularly in shallow unconfined aquifers, the transport of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) is of special interest because active migration of the contaminants could occur in the vapor phase, either volatilizing directly from the source or from the water table. The simulation of transport of contaminants in unconfined aquifers requires a solution of the variably saturated flow and transport equations which are highly non-linear, and subsequently computationally intensive. As modern risk assessment relies more and more on stochastic simulations to assist in quantifying uncertainty associated with the evaluation of contamination levels at receptor locations, it is imperative that an appropriate simulation methodology for flow and transport of VOCs, taking into account of the vapor-phase transport stochastically, be developed. This paper presents an approximate solution technique designed to minimize the computational efforts, while maintaining the accuracy of the solution. It is based on a composite technique which allows the flow and transport processes to be divided into three stages: (i) flow and transport in the vadose zone in the vicinity of the source or waste management unit, (ii) in the saturated zone, and (iii) in the vapor phase due to back volatilization at a distance away from the source or the waste management unit. The developed solution technique assumes that the waste management unit is rectangular, and that the vadose zone thickness, the saturated thickness, and material properties are uniform. Semi-analytical and numerical techniques are used to provide solutions to the three-dimensional flow and transport equations. Details of the solution procedures, verification and application examples, and substantial savings in computational efforts are discussed.

These impacts include high acidity and metals in surface and ground water, substantial precipitation of iron-bearing phases on the stream substrate, channel modification, sedimentation and habitat disruption. DMC comprises a watershed of about 5.2 square miles, of which approximately one-half is drained by Belltown Creek, a tributary to DMC that was not impacted by mine wastes and materials. DMC is the subject of continuing remedial actions by EPA Region 4. A phased approach to remediating the watershed was developed during a planning process. Initial efforts concentrated on understanding the nature of impacts and included surface water monitoring; reconnaissance sampling of wastes, soil, and sediment; a mine waste inventory; and waste testing. The inventory identified approximately 9.7 million cubic yards of mine wastes, by-product materials and contaminated soils in the affected area of about 2.5 square miles, including slag, iron calcine, sulfide concentrate, and sulfide-bearing mine rock. Most of these materials are situated on the stream banks, atop the former creek channel, or in the creek bed. In the second phase, studies of the lower creek permitted decisions to be made that will limit discharge of contaminated water from DMC to the Ocoee River. In the third phase, we examined four significant sources of acid to DMC: 1) a pile of sulfide-bearing iron calcine at the creek headwaters; 2) a small pile of sulfide-bearing waste rock; 3) a pile of mixed iron-sulfide and copper-sulfide mill concentrate; 4) a tunnel outlet and French drain that collect seepage from overlying waste materials. These sources were prioritized for remedial action based on increases in contaminant load in DMC, effects on ground water, and source volume and character. Future remedial investigations will target non-acid generating materials, mostly slag, that contribute metals to the DMC system. Once sources are controlled, restoration of the stream channel and rehabilitation of aquatic and riparian habitat can begin.

Laboratory experiments were conducted using site-derived water to assess the impact of these coupled processes on the removal of dissolved arsenic from the water column. The measured concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) from shallow and deep water sampled from the pond was approximately 15 and 200 mg C/L, respectively. Experiments conducted with these samples along with synthetic controls containing no organic carbon demonstrated that observed rates were dependent on the chemical composition of the discharging ground water. Increasing dissolved organic matter did not significantly interfere with ferrous iron oxidation, but inhibited precipitation of hydrous ferric oxide and subsequent sorption of arsenic. For experiments with 200 mg C/L TOC, there was a strong relationship between the fraction of precipitated iron and the fraction of sorbed arsenic. Laboratory- and field-derived hydrous iron oxide precipitates were characterized to evaluate mineralogy and arsenic distribution. Precipitates formed in the presence of organic carbon were consistent with formation of a 2-line ferrihydrite. These data were used to aid interpretation of field observations at the ground water-surface water interaction zone with respect to observed arsenic removal.

Hydrochemical characteristics of ground water near landfills within this zone indicate a substantial mobilization of arsenic beneath and immediately down gradient from these sites. Arsenic levels, typically less than 30 mu g/L up gradient, range from 50 to 700 mu g/L down gradient occasionally exceeding 5000 mu g/L. High arsenic concentrations correlate with iron concentrations of up to 220,000 mu g/L and manganese concentrations of up to 9,250 mu g/L. ORP ranges from 339 mV to -64 mV and pH values range between 4.88 and 6.70. Our study of 57 ground water samples from five landfill sites indicates that the source of arsenic is most likely due to a reductive dissolution of HFO coatings and release of sorbed arsenic complexes. All samples were analyzed for major and minor dissolved constituents as well as characterized by water quality parameters in the field. Chemical parameters analyzed as part of this study include alkalinity, chloride, fluoride, nitrite, nitrate, bromide, sulfate, ortho-phosphate, sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, lithium, iron, manganese, arsenic, DOC, DIC, temperature, pH, ORP, conductance, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Our objective for this study is to evaluate the role of hydrochemical constraints, if any, on the levels of arsenic present in the down gradient ground water. The Geochemist's Workbench program is applied to model As, Fe, and Mn using the measured constituents in the liquid solutions. Eh-pH modeling of arsenic in the up gradient section of ground water points to the presence of singly and doubly dissociated pentavalent arsenic (H (sub 2) AsO (sub 4) - and HAsO (sub 4) --) whereas in the contaminated down gradient ground water the arsenic is in the form of undissociated H (sub 3) AsO (sub 3) . No arsenic bearing solids in equilibrium with ground water have been identified. However, there is an evidence for precipitation of solids containing iron and manganese. In the case of manganese the model indicates saturation with respect to rhodochrosite and for iron saturation with respect to siderite and pyrite. Arsenic variation diagrams suggest that the solid phases of Mn or Fe appear to have no effect on the dissolved arsenic.

Under these conditions synthetic fine-grained crystalline ferberite ( approximately 10-30 mu m) dissolves incongruently and is accompanied by precipitation of potassium tungstate bronze phases, K (sub x) WO (sub 3) x = 0.2-0.3). Changes in the W/Fe mol ratios in the aqueous phase were also observed. Aqueous W and Fe concentration values are a function of the total mKCl in the system and the initial mHCl. Representative molal solubility values of W and Fe range from 0.002-0.05 in 0.7 mKCl to 0.02-0.15 in mKCl. An analysis of experimental results indicate monomer tungsten species are dominant in homogeneous 0.7-3.0 mKCl solutions at 1000 bars; whereas, dimer complexes of tungsten are dominant in 4.0-8.9 mKCl and in the two-phase region at 400 and 500 bars. The relationship between solubility and pressure is yet to be defined. The data at 400 and 500 bar represent the apparent solubility values, since two conjugate fluids of different density co-exist. Estimated ferberite solubility (in wt. %) in the liquid (L) and vapor (V) phases are S (sub Ferb) (500 degrees C, 500 bar) = 0.21 (C (sub V) = 0.96 wt. %), 2.03 (C (sub L) = 34.59) and S (sub Ferb) (500 degrees C, 400 bar) = 0.5 (C (sub V ) = 0.32), 2.57 (C (sub L) = 58.25), where C (sub L ) and C (sub V) are KCl concentrations in liquid and vapor, respectively. The results suggest a large bulk solubility value (ore-bearing capacity) in the dense, salt-rich component of the two-phase fluid.

A few studies have shown horizontal flow for short periods of time, and others have demonstrated specific circumstances under which the assumption fails. But, surprisingly, this investigator could not find direct testing of the underlying concept-that under "normal" conditions (i.e., no vertical hydraulic gradient) water enters one side of a well and exits the other side of the well at roughly the same elevation. To test the horizontal flow assumption, a physical sand tank model was constructed to observe flow-through in a simulated monitoring well. The well, filter pack, and aquifer on either side of the well largely mimics real-world conditions of a submerged well in a moderately high permeability sand. Behavior of a dye "stringer" was recorded using digital time-lapse photography at real-world ground water seepage velocities. Neutrally-buoyant and different-density dye "stringers" were observed entering the well over a period of several days for each test. In all tests, regardless of flow rate or small density differences, the dye stringer eventually diluted and mixed in the monitoring well. Since the well model closely approximates a cross-section of an actual-size well subjected to real-world flow rates, mixing appears to be the rule rather than the exception for near-neutrally-buoyant contaminant stringers as they enter monitoring wells. There are several clear and important implications. 1) In-well mixing and flow-weighted concentration averaging occurs in a well before any purge or sampling efforts are made. 2) In-well mixing may mask low to moderate contaminant stratification in an aquifer. 3) Contaminant stratification, if present inside a well, implies strong contaminant stratification outside the well. 4) Contaminant stratification inside a well may not correspond to stratification at the same interval outside the well. 5) Vertical stratification within an aquifer may not be accurately monitored by sampling multiple intervals within an open well. 6) In-well barriers may limit mixing and assist in defining intervals of aquifer contaminant stratification.

Wheat and rice straw stubble collected from two western US states were tested in a field burn simulation to determine emission factors. The resulting emission factor was approximately 0.5 ng toxic equivalency (TEQ)/kg burned for both sources. When coupled with published agricultural data on crop residue burning, about 1 g TEQ/year can be expected from wheat and rice straw residue burning, making this an apparently minor source of PCDDs/Fs in the United States.

The primary purpose of this paper is to develop two mathematical models, lognormal and logarithmic, that effectively express excess lung cancer mortality as a function of asbestos concentration for an example set of data and also to suggest using these two models for additional HAPs. The secondary purpose of this paper is to calculate a "safe" asbestos concentration by first assuming a default linear extrapolation (to one excess death per million people, as specified for carcinogenic HAPs). The resulting "safe" concentration is an impossible-to-achieve 1/1000 of present background asbestos concentrations. A letter to the editor and a response in this Journal issue use additional asbestos data that suggest that the "safe" concentration should be about 730 times higher than first calculated here and that a default nonlinear extrapolation should be used instead, with the "safe" concentration proportional to the desired mortality level raised to the 0.39 power. These results suggest that the most important problem in setting a "safe" concentration for each carcinogenic HAP is to determine the correct nonlinear extrapolation to use for each HAP.

Copies were produced on a single photocopier using two toners manufactured for this copier but having different styrene contents. The resulting emission models were used to predict whether indoor styrene concentrations resulting from copied paper in a typical office might be significantly reduced by use of a low-emitting toner for a given copier. The styrene emissions were best represented by either a 3rd-order decay model or by a power law model having an exponent between 0.3 and 0.5 (R super(2) = 0.94-0.99). The two toners resulted in copied paper having significantly different styrene emissions (p < 0.01), with unit mass emissions over 1000 hr being nine times greater with the higher-emitting toner. But copied paper is predicted to produce peak indoor styrene concentrations in a typical office no more than 1% of the World Health Organization health-based guideline. Thus, for the toners considered here, indoor styrene exposures from copied paper appear to be too limited to provide incentive for switching to the lower-emitting toner. The ability to generalize these conclusions is limited by the fact that only one copier and two toners could be tested.

AN - 19189112; 5772481 AB - We investigated linkages between fishes and fluvial geomorphology in 31 wadeable streams in the Etowah River basin in northern Georgia, U.S.A. Streams were stratified into three catchment sizes of approximately 15, 50 and 100 km super(2), and fishes and geomorphology were sampled at the reach scale (i.e. 20-40 times stream width).Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) identified 85% of the among-site variation in fish assemblage structure and identified strong patterns in species composition across sites. Assemblages shifted from domination by centrarchids, and other pool species that spawn in fine sediments and have generalised food preferences, to darter-cyprinid-redhorse sucker complexes that inhabit riffles and runs, feed primarily on invertebrates, and spawn on coarser stream beds.Richness and density were correlated with basin area, a measure of stream size, but species composition was best predicted (i.e. |r| between 0.60-0.82) by reach-level geomorphic variables (stream slope, bed texture, bed mobility and tractive force) that were unrelated to stream size. Stream slope was the dominant factor controlling stream habitat. Low slope streams had smaller bed particles, more fines in riffles, lower tractive force and greater bed mobility compared with high slope streams.Our results contrast with the 'River Continuum Concept' which argues that stream assemblages vary predictably along stream size gradients. Our findings support the 'Process Domains Concept', which argues that local-scale geomorphic processes determine the stream habitat and disturbance regimes that influence stream communities.

This species complex displays continuous morphological variation across the study area, which has been previously interpreted as the product of hybridization between allopatric species. A microsatellite analysis indicates that there was little genetic structuring across the morphological cline and only low levels of population differentiation. The nested clade analysis of the J sub(LA+) region of the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) indicates that the geographical distribution of cpDNA haplotypes is unlikely to be the result of historical hybridization events, and that restricted seed-mediated gene flow with isolation by distance is responsible for the phylogeographical distribution. A more plausible explanation for the origin and persistence of the morphological cline is that the process of continuous morphological diversification has been promoted by a directional selection gradient. This study addresses species status within Eucalyptus and the belief that hybridization is widespread and is an important process in the group's evolution.

This paper reviews 149 self-described landscape studies published between 1987 and 2001. From each paper, data for several variables were gathered that we proposed may influence the choice of scale. These variables included the taxa the research considered, the characteristics of the landscape of interest, the species response variables measured, the type of methodology employed by the study, the habitat type(s) surveyed, and the technique(s) used to create habitat maps. Our results demonstrated that only 61% of the papers identified both the grain and extent at which the research was conducted. Taxonomic group, landscape characteristics, and study type all appeared to influence both the choice of grain and extent for the study. Wide variation (standard deviation) in grain and extent among studies suggests that researchers either used some factor not considered here to select scale, or made decisions of the scale on pragmatic grounds, rather than on the appropriateness of the scale to the variables. Finally, 24 of the 149 studies reviewed researched the same combination of categories of the six variables that we considered, yet only for one combination was the grain and extent used within the same order of magnitude. This review highlights the need for more structured choice of scale in landscape studies, and in particular the need for more standardized size of grain and extent for greater comparability among studies.

A database of input parameters allowed Monte Carlo analysis with the model. The resulting kernel densities of predicted attenuation during percolation indicated very small, but finite probabilities of failure for all homogeneous USDA classified soils to attenuate reovirus 3 by 99.99% in one-half meter of gravity drainage. The logarithm of saturated hydraulic conductivity and water to air-water interface mass transfer coefficient affected virus fate and transport about 3 times more than any other parameter, including the logarithm of inactivation rate of suspended viruses.Model results suggest extreme infiltration events may play a predominant role in leaching of viruses in soils, since such events could impact hydraulic conductivity. The air-water interface also appears to play a predominating role in virus transport and fate. Although predictive modeling may provide insight into actual attenuation of viruses, hydrogeologic sensitivity assessments for the unsaturated zone should include a sampling program.

The approach is based on five basic parameters that affect bioaccumulation of nonionic organic chemicals: The distribution of chemical between sediment and water, the hydrophobicity of the compound (expressed as the n-octanol/water partition coefficient, K sub(ow)), the relationship of food chains to water and sediment, the length of the food chains, and the degree to which the chemical is metabolized. The visualization approach using water-sediment XY plots captures and visually presents the existing bioaccumulation knowledge in a form that is readily understandable from chemical, biological, and ecological aspects and, therefore, useful in the assessment, communication, and management of risk for persistent bioaccumulative toxicants.

The effect of HOCI appears at first to be contrary because HOCI rapidly oxidizes nitrite and hence should reduce NDMA formation from a mechanism involving classical nitrosation. The enhanced nitrosation by the presence of HOCI is, however, consistent with a mechanism that involves the formation of a highly reactive nitrosating intermediate such as dinitrogen tetroxide (N sub(2)O sub(4)) formed during the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate. This mechanism is quite unlike another recently proposed NDMA formation pathway involving the rate-limiting oxidation of DMA directly by monochloramine. NDMA formation by the proposed HOCI-enhanced nitrosation pathway is inhibited by the presence of ammonia and occurs very quickly, only during the short period during which nitrite oxidation occurs. The general importance of this NDMA formation mechanism in actual drinking water appears to be limited by the amount of DMA and nitrite typically present. The mechanism described here, however, suggests the potential involvement of other nitrogen redox reactions that may produce reactive intermediates leading to the indirect and incidental formation of NDMA in the presence of appropriate organic nitrogen precursor.

Surrogates for exposure have also been used, such as the ambient air quality measured at fixed monitoring sites. These approaches are based on available science. Meanwhile, during the past decade, researchers at the U.S. EPA, universities, and institutes have been developing better scientific approaches for measuring and modeling real or potential human exposures that explain hazardous exposure situations. In parallel, the President, Congress, and the public have set higher expectations for government programs, such as NAAQS. These expectations were first defined through the evolution of the "risk assessment-risk management paradigm" and then by the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), which defines accountability for government programs. In this article we examine the challenges that EPA faces in its NAAQS program and how the scientific results of its National Exposure Research program, conducted by the National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) within EPA's Office of Research and Development, and its partners, such as the Exposure Measurement & Assessment Program at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI), can be used to achieve these higher expectations. Specifically, we will show the implications that accountability brings to the risk assessment-risk management paradigm.

Rates of acid- neutralization and of metal (Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn, Hg, Al, and Mn) and metalloid (As) uptake were determined in batch systems using simulated mine drainage (initial pH 2.3-4.5; total dissolved solids 14 000-16 000 mg l super(-1)). Metal removal from solution and acid-neutralization occurred simultaneously and were most rapid during the initial 24 h of reaction. Reaction half-lives ranged from 1.50 +/- 0.09 h for Al to 8.15 +/- 0.36 h for Zn. Geochemical model results indicate that metal removal is most effective in solutions that are highly undersaturated with respect to pure-metal hydroxides suggesting that adsorption is the initial and most rapid metal uptake mechanism. Continued adsorption onto or co-precipitation with iron corrosion products are secondary metal uptake processes. Sulfate green rust was identified as the primary iron corrosion product, which is shown to be the result of elevated [SO sub(4) super(2-)]/[HCO sub(3) super(-)] ratios in solution. Reversibility studies indicate that zero-valent iron will retain metals after shifts in redox states are imposed, but that remobilization of metals may occur after the acid-neutralization capacity of the material is exhausted.

AN - 75758608; 14550852 AB - Chlorotriazines interact with undifferentiated PC12 cells in vitro to modulate catecholamine synthesis and release, but the mechanism(s) responsible for this effect had not been determined. In this study we evaluated the effect of atrazine, simazine and cyanazine on the protein expression of the enzymes responsible for the synthesis of dopamine [tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)] and norepinephrine [dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DbetaH)]. We also examined the possible intracellular pathway associated with chlorotriazine-induced changes in catecholamine synthesis and release. Incubating PC12 cells in the presence of 100 microM atrazine and simazine decreased intracellular dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) concentration and NE release, and the protein expression of TH (approximately 20%) and DbetaH (approximately 50 and 25%, respectively) after 12-24 h exposure. In contrast, cyanazine (100 microM) stimulated intracellular and released NE concentration, and the protein expression of TH (approximately 20%) and DbetaH (approximately 225%) after 12-36 h exposure. Simultaneous exposure to the essential TH co-factors (iron and tetrahydrobiopterine) was ineffective in altering cellular DA. Agents known to enhance TH and DbetaH transcription, phosphorylation or activity (e.g., 8-bromo cAMP, forskolin or dexamethasone) reversed the inhibitory effects of atrazine and simazine on the NE. Again, in contrast to atrazine and simazine, cyanazine attenuated catecholamine-depleting effect of alpha-Methyl-p-tyrosine (alphaMpT) on NE. Both DA and NE synthesis can be altered by the chlorotriazines and suggest these occur via an alteration of the synthetic enzymes TH and DbetaH.

AN - 71319427; 14584702 AB - A method was developed for the confirmed identification and quantitation of 17beta-estradiol, estrone, 17alpha-ethynylestradiol and 16alpha-hydroxy-17beta-estradiol (estriol) in ground water and swine lagoon samples. Centrifuged and filtered samples were extracted using solid-phase extraction (SPE), and extracts were derivatized using pentafluorobenzy] bromide (PFBBR) and N-trimethylsilylimidazole (TMSI). Analysis was done using negative ion chemical ionization (NICI) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS). Deuterated analogs of each of the estrogens were used as isotope dilution standards (IDS) and were added to the samples before extraction. A limit of quantitation of 1 ng/l in ground water was obtained using 500 ml of ground water sample, 1.0 ml of extract volume and the lowest calibration standard of 0.5 pg/microl. For a 25 ml swine lagoon sample, the limit of quantitation was 40 ng/l. The average recovery of the four estrogens spiked into 500 ml of distilled water and ground water samples (n = 16) at 2 ng/l was 103% (S.D. 14%). For 25 ml of swine lagoon samples spiked at 500, 1000 and 10,000 ng/l, the average recovery for the four estrogens was 103% (S.D. 15%). The method detection limits (MDLs) of the four estrogens spiked at 2 ng/l in a 500 ml of ground water sample ranged from 0.2 to 0.6 ng/l. In swine lagoon samples from three different types of swine operations, estrone was found at levels up to 25,000 ng/l, followed by estriol and estradiol up to levels at 10,000 and 3000 ng/l, respectively. It was found that pretreatment of swine lagoon samples with formaldehyde was necessary to prevent conversion of estradiol to estrone. JF - Journal of chromatography.

Paper No. TAM-A.10 N1 - Last updated - 2010-05-03 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Evaluation of Two Methods for Prediction of Bioaccumulation Factors AN - 19814692; 5820992 AB - Two methods for deriving bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in development of water quality criteria were evaluated using polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) data from the Hudson River and Green Bay ecosystems. One method predicts BAF super(f) sub(L) super(d) values (BAFs based upon concentrations of freely dissolved chemical in ambient water and in the lipid fraction of tissue) using field-measured biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs): greater than 90% of the predicted BAF super(f) sub(L) super(d) values were within a factor of 5 of their measured values for both ecosystems. The second method predicts BAF super(f) sub(L) super(d) values as the chemical's 1-octanol/water partition coefficient (K sub(ow)) times a food chain multiplier: greater than 90% of the predicted BAF super(f) sub(L) super(d) values were within a factor of 5 of their measured values for the Green Bay ecosystem and for three of the six sampling locations on the Hudson River. Poorer predictive ability with the K sub(ow) method for the other three sampling locations was believed to be due to the existence of environmental conditions not representative of the longer term ecosystem conditions assumed for the method. BAF super(f) sub(L) super(d) and BAF super(t) sub(T) values (BAFs based upon concentrations of total chemical in ambient water and in wet tissue) were compared. The within ecosystem and across ecosystems comparisons demonstrated a 2-5-fold decrease in variability (expressed as ratios of coefficients of variation, percentile ranges, and confidence ranges) for predicted BAF super(f) sub(L) super(d) values in comparison to BAF super(t) sub(T) values.

AN - 75721713; 14519490 AB - Reductions in thyroid hormone during critical periods of brain development can have devastating effects on neurological function that are permanent. Neurochemical, molecular and structural alterations in a variety of brain regions have been well documented, but little information is available on the consequences of developmental hypothyroidism on synaptic function. Developing rats were exposed to the thyrotoxicant, propylthiouracil (PTU: 0 or 15 ppm), through the drinking water of pregnant dams beginning on GD18 and extending throughout the lactational period. Male offspring were allowed to mature after termination of PTU exposure at weaning on PND21 and electrophyiological assessments of field potentials in the dentate gyrus were conducted under urethane anesthesia between 2 and 5 months of age. PTU dramatically reduced thyroid hormones on PND21 and produced deficits in body weight that persisted to adulthood. Synaptic transmission was impaired as evidenced by reductions in excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) slope and population spike (PS) amplitudes at a range of stimulus intensities. Long-term potentiation of the EPSP slope was impaired at both modest and strong intensity trains, whereas a paradoxical increase in PS amplitude was observed in PTU-treated animals in response to high intensity trains. These data are the first to describe functional impairments in synaptic transmission and plasticity in situ as a result of PTU treatment and suggest that perturbations in synaptic function may contribute to learning deficits associated with developmental hypothyroidism.

AN - 75761108; 14551995 AB - Aquatic toxicity tests are laboratory experiments that measure the biological effect (e.g., growth, survival, reproduction) of effluents, receiving waters, or storm water on aquatic organisms. These toxicity tests must be performed using the best laboratory practices, and every effort must be made to enhance repeatability of the test method. We evaluated the generated reference toxicant test data for insurance of a level of quality assurance for tests over time within a laboratory and among laboratories. We recommend the reporting and evaluation of the percent minimum significant difference (PMSD) value for all toxicity test results. The minimum significant difference (MSD) represents the smallest difference between the control mean and a treatment mean that leads to the statistical rejection of the null hypothesis (i.e., no toxicity) at each concentration of the toxicity test dilution series. The MSD provides an indication of within-test variability, and smaller values of MSD are associated with increased power to detect a toxic effect. We recommend upper and lower PMSD bounds for each test method in order to minimize within-test variability and increase statistical power. To ensure that PMSD does not exceed an upper bound, testing laboratories may need to increase replication, decrease variability among replicates, or increase the control mean performance.

AN - 73564476; 13678286 AB - Recent wildland fires near two U.S. nuclear facilities point to a need to rapidly identify the presence of airborne plutonium during incidents involving the potential release of radioactive materials. Laboratory turn-around times also need to be shortened for critical samples collected in the earliest stages of radiological emergencies. This note discusses preliminary investigations designed to address both these problems. The methods under review are same day high-resolution alpha spectroscopy to screen air filter samples for the presence of plutonium and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to perform sensitive plutonium analyses. Thus far, using modified alpha spectroscopy techniques, it has been possible to reliably identify the approximately 5.2 MeV emission of 239Pu on surrogate samples (air filters artificially spiked with plutonium after collection) even though the primary alpha-particle emissions of plutonium are, as expected, superimposed against a natural alpha radiation background dominated by short-lived radon and thoron progeny (approximately 6-9 MeV). Several processing methods were tested to prepare samples for analysis and shorten laboratory turn-around time. The most promising technique was acid-leaching of air filter samples using a commercial open-vessel microwave digestion system. Samples prepared in this way were analyzed by both alpha spectroscopy (as a thin-layer iron hydroxide co-precipitate) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The detection levels achieved for 239Pu--approximately 1 mBq m(-3) for alpha spectroscopy screening, and, < 0.1 mBq m(-3) for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis--are consistent with derived emergency response levels based on EPA's Protective Action Guides, and samples can be evaluated in 36 to 72 h. Further, if samples can be returned to a fixed-laboratory and processed immediately, results from mass spectrometry could be available in as little as 24 h. When fully implemented, these techniques have the potential to provide useful information and improved operational flexibility to emergency planners and first-responders during radiological emergencies.

AN - 71549185; 14986899 AB - Multimetric indices of biotic integrity (IBIs) are commonly used to assess condition of stream fish assemblages, but their ability to monitor trends within streams over time is largely unknown. We assessed the trend detection ability of two IBI formulations (one with traditional scoring and metrics, and one with nontraditional scoring and region-specific metrics) and of similarity and diversity indices using simulations that progressively altered the fish assemblages of 39 streams in the United States mid-Atlantic Highlands region. We also assessed responses to simulated 50% variability in fish abundances, as a measure of background "noise." Fish assemblage indices responded little to changes that affected all species proportionally despite substantial changes in total fish number. Assemblage indices responded better to scenarios that differentially affected fish species, either according to life history traits or by increasing dominance of already common species, but even these changes took some time to detect relative to background variability levels. Ordinations of stream fish assemblage data suggested that differences among sites were maintained even after substantial alterations of fish composition within sites. IBIs are designed to detect broad assemblage differences among sites while downplaying abundance changes and variability increases that were the first indications of within-site changes, and they appear more suited to detecting large departures from natural fish assemblages than for monitoring gradual changes such as those our simulations produced. Inferences about causes of assemblage changes should be made with caution because of correlations among species traits and interdependence among IBI component metrics. Site trend assessments should be made based on all available data rather than just by summary indices.

AN - 71466827; 14674581 AB - Isolating and analyzing interstitial water (IW) during sediment toxicity tests enables researchers to relate concentrations of contaminants to responses of organisms, particularly when IW is a primary route of exposure to bioavailable contaminants by benthic dwelling organisms. We evaluate here the precision of sampling IW with the dialysis or 'peeper' method using sediments spiked with five different concentrations of cadmium. This method is one of several that are commonly used for collecting IW. Seven consecutive ten-day toxicity tests were conducted on these sediments and IW samples were collected at the end of each of these tests. Prior to each test initiation and insertion of IW samplers, sediments were allowed to equilibrate for seven days under flow-through conditions with filtered seawater. At the end of each ten-day testing period, peepers were retrieved, and IW cadmium measured. Data sets were organized by treatment and test number. Coefficients of variation (CV) for the six replicates for each sediment and testing period and for each sediment across testing periods (42 replicates) was used as a measure of sampling precision. CVs ranged from 25 to 206% when individual testing periods were considered, but ranged from 39 to 104% when concentrations for all testing periods were combined. However, after removal of outliers using Dixon's Criteria, the CVs improved and ranged from 6 to 88%. These levels of variability are comparable to those reported by others. The variability shown is partially explained by artifacts associated with the dialysis procedure, primarily sample contamination. Further experiments were conducted that support our hypothesis that contamination of the peeper causes much of the variability observed. If method artifacts, especially contamination, are avoided the dialysis procedure can be a more effective means for sampling IW metal.

AN - 71337514; 14604330 AB - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Exposure Research Laboratory is pursuing a project to improve the methodology for modeling human exposure to motor vehicle emissions. The overall project goal is to develop improved methods for modeling the source through the air pathway to human exposure in significant exposure microenvironments. Current particulate matter (PM) emission models, particle emission factor model (used in the United States, except California) and motor vehicle emission factor model (used in California only), are suitable only for county-scale modeling and emission inventories. There is a need to develop a site-specific real-time emission factor model for PM emissions to support human exposure studies near roadways. A microscale emission factor model for predicting site-specific real-time motor vehicle PM (MicroFacPM) emissions for total suspended PM, PM less than 10 microm aerodynamic diameter, and PM less than 2.5 microm aerodynamic diameter has been developed. The algorithm used to calculate emission factors in MicroFacPM is disaggregated, and emission factors are calculated from a real-time fleet, rather than from a fleet-wide average estimated by a vehicle-miles-traveled weighting of the emission factors for different vehicle classes. MicroFacPM requires input information necessary to characterize the site-specific real-time fleet being modeled. Other variables required include average vehicle speed, time and day of the year, ambient temperature, and relative humidity.

The method was applied to detect BTEXC in a sample collected from the surface, or 5 cm depth of water. Two-hundred milliliters of n-hexane-pretreated and filtered water samples were applied directly to a C18 SPE column. BTEXC were extracted with dichloromethane and the BTEX concentrations were obtained to be 0.1 to 0.37 microg ml(-1). The highest concentration of benzene was found as 0.37 microg ml(-1) with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 6.2%; cumene was not detected. The factors influencing SPE e.g., adsorbent types, sample load volume, eluting solvent, headspace and temperatures, were investigated. A cartridge containing a C18 adsorbent and using dichloromethane gave a better performance for the extraction of BTEXC from water.

AN - 71256908; 14550757 AB - Environmental regulations aimed at reducing cancer risks usually have the effect of reducing exposure to a carcinogen at the time the regulation is implemented. The reduction of cancer risk may occur shortly after the reduced exposure or after a considerable period of time. The time of risk reduction associated with exposure reduction will vary by compound. Some recommended measures of the economic benefits associated with environmental regulations are sensitive to the timing of the risk reductions and cannot be effectively addressed by the conventional dose-response procedures. This paper introduces the concept and methodologies for calculating cessation lag effects, with the specific goal of answering the following questions: (1) How many cancer cases are avoided at age t after cessation (or reduction) of exposure concentration? and (2) How long does the effect of an exposure last after exposure has terminated (or been reduced)? The proposed procedures do not require more information than what is required by the conventional dose-response procedures for which cumulative or an averaged lifetime exposure is used.

Previous investigations of drinking water from wells in the fractured crystalline bedrock encountered persistent elevated total arsenic. Such contamination may be related to discharging ground water from fractured zones in the basin. Modeled discharge rates greater than +10 cm/yr and super(18)O values lighter than -9.5 per mil VSMOW may indicate recent recharge is mixing with deeper ground water and is focused along some fractured zones in arsenic bearing crystalline rocks.

The catchment is 255 ha in area and has experienced extensive soil erosion and losses of nutrients from intensive vegetable cultivation, irrigated dairy pasture and poultry farms. Simulations of nitrogen and phosphorus loads in the Currency Creek catchment were performed at various temporal scales and the degree of calibration was quantified by comparing the simulated data with the monitoring results. In addition, the model independent, nonlinear parameter estimation code PEST, was applied for sensitivity testing to determine and assess the relative importance of the key parameters of the model. Event flows were simulated satisfactorily with AnnAGNPS but only moderate accuracy was achieved for prediction of event-based nitrogen and phosphorus exports. The biggest deviations from the measured data were observed for daily simulations but trends in the generated nutrients matched observed data. Despite achieving good resemblance between measured and predicted phosphorus loads the model showed high level of sensitivity to assigned pH values for topsoil. Increase in pH by one unit resulted in up to 34% increase in model generated particulate phosphorus load.

Often, benthic production has been considered to be important primarily in shallow systems or as a subsidy to planktonic food web pathways. Stable isotope food web analyses of two arctic lakes (NE14 and I minus) in the Toolik Lake region of Alaska indicate that benthos are the primary source of carbon for adults of all species of benthic and pelagic fish present. We found no effect of turbidity, which may suppress benthic algae by shading, on food web structure. Even though Secchi transparency varied from 10.2 m in NE14 to 0.55-2.6 m in I minus, food webs in both lakes were based upon benthos, had four trophic levels, and culminated with omnivorous lake trout. We suggest that the importance of benthos in the food webs of these lakes is due to their extreme oligotrophy, resulting in planktonic resources that are insufficient for the support of planktivorous consumers.

A validated measure of cognitive function in human infants that also has a homologous or parallel test in laboratory animal studies will provide a valuable approach for large-scale studies. Such a comparable test will allow researchers to observe the effect of environmental neurotoxicants in animals and relate those findings to humans. In this article, we present the results of a review of post-1990, peer-reviewed literature and current research examining measures of cognitive function that can be applied to both human infants (0-12 months old) and laboratory animals. We begin with a discussion of the definition of cognitive function and important considerations in cross-species research. We then describe identified comparable measures, providing a description of the test in human infants and animal subjects. Available information on test reliability, validity, and population norms, as well as test limitations and constraints, is also presented.

The spring wetlands in the Great Artesian Basin are of conservation significance because they provide habitat for endemic species including fish, invertebrates and plants. Since European settlement massive quantities of water have been artificially extracted through bores, reducing spring-flows. Records of the springs of the Queensland section of the Great Artesian Basin (excluding Cape York Peninsula) were compiled from a range of historical sources. Most remaining active springs were visited and surveyed, the physical attributes of the springs described and their current status determined. Recharge springs occur in areas where the evidence suggests the basin is recharged by rainfall and 93% of the original 245 spring-groups in these areas are still active. Discharge springs occur in sections of the Basin down-gradient of the recharge areas and only 36% of the original 300 spring-groups in these areas have at least some springs that are still active. The capping of bores could provide a partial restoration of artesian pressure and enhance spring flows. Of the active spring-groups surveyed 26% have suffered major or total damage as a result of excavation of the wetlands. An emerging threat is the use of exotic grasses as ponded pastures, which have the ability to dominate the habitat of spring wetlands. The potential impacts of other threats including those associated with stock, exotic animals and fire are also discussed. Mitigating these threats requires a conservation strategy that seeks to protect remaining springs with high conservation values.

Striped bass tissue and scale samples were collected from Rhode Island coastal waters during 1996 and archived scale samples (1982-1997) were obtained from Chesapeake Bay. Known striped bass prey items were also collected from Chesapeake Bay and analysed for delta super(13)C. A significant correlation was observed between carbon isotope ratios in striped bass scales and muscle tissue (r super(2) = 0.52; P < 0.05). Carbon isotope ratios were enriched (less negative) in scales relative to muscle tissue by about 3ppt. Carbon isotope ratios in archived striped bass scales from Chesapeake Bay increased significantly from -16.7 plus or minus 0.2ppt in 1982 to -15.1 plus or minus 0.3ppt in 1997. Benthic species, especially invertebrates, were isotopically enriched relative to pelagic fish species collected from the main-stem of Chesapeake Bay. Prey samples collected from riverine locations within Chesapeake Bay were isotopically depleted relative to those collected in the open portion of the Bay. The changes in the carbon isotope ratios of the striped bass scales could be related to changes in the relative proportions of pelagic and benthic food items in the diet of striped bass or to changes in the feeding locations of this species. In either case, there have been changes in the feeding behaviour and/or relationships of the striped bass between 1982 and 1997. Such changes may be related to changing ecological conditions within the estuary, which could influence the health of Chesapeake Bay striped bass.

We explore the thesis that a well-designed, tradable runoff allowance system can create economic incentives for landowners to employ low-cost runoff management practices to reduce excess stormwater flow to more ecologically sound levels. Attributes such as percent impervious surface, soil type, and so on, determine a given land parcel's runoff potential and management alternatives and, by extension, its allowance requirements. Using a small watershed in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a case study, we show that a tradable runoff allowance system carries promise as a low-cost method for attaining reductions in storm-water runoff.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the laboratory- derived toxicities of clay flocculation of the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, for four common estuarine test species. Phosphatic clay mixed with a coagulant (polyaluminum hydroxy chloride (PAC)) was not acutely or chronically toxic in most cases to infaunal amphipods (Leptocheirus plumulosus and Ampelisca abdita), grass shrimp embryos (Palaemonetes pugio) and larval sheepshead minnows (Cyprinodon variegatus). K. brevis alone (density RANGE = 3880-5060 cells ml super(-1); brevetoxin (Btx) RANGE = 19.8-140.7 mu g l super(-1)) was very toxic to C. variegatus and, to a lesser extent, L. plumulosus. The addition of clay-coagulant did not usually reduce this toxicity. The combination of clay, coagulant and K. brevis cells when settled over a natural sediment were usually as toxic to the benthic test species as K. brevis alone. This result suggests that clay flocculation of K. brevis blooms will neither increase, nor decrease toxicity to benthic organisms relative to that attributable to an untreated bloom. Validation of this conclusion, however, is required since it is based on laboratory-derived, single species toxicity data using media collected from a simulated red tide event. The determination of environmental effects on indigenous benthic biota in near-coastal areas during a natural red tide event, prior to and after treatment with clay flocculation, would provide the perspective needed for a more realistic hazard assessment of this possible control procedure.

Ten legume species were tested, comprising both native and exotic species. The ten species responded variously to the treatments. Brief exposure to temperatures between 80 and 100 degree C was found to break the seed dormancy of the native ephemeral herbs Chamaecrista mimosoides, Crotalaria calycina, Crotalaria montana, Indigofera hirsuta and Tephrosia juncea, as well as the exotic ephemeral herb Crotalaria lanceolata. Exposure to 80 degree C combined with treatment with a nitrate solution produced an additive effect on the germination of Chamaecrista mimosoides and Crotalaria lanceolata. However, the four species with the heaviest seeds, two exotic ephemeral herbs (Chamaecrista absus and Crotalaria pallida) and two native perennials (Galactia tenuiflora and Glycine tomentella) displayed no significant increase in germination with exposure to fire-related cues. Exposure to 120 degree C for 5 min produced seed mortality in all species tested. Two of the largest seeded species, Crotalaria pallida and Galactia tenuiflora, displayed the lowest tolerance to heat shock, with seed mortality after exposure to 100 degree C for 5 min. These data indicate that fire can promote the germination of some tropical savanna legumes. As a proportion of seeds of each species displayed no innate dormancy, some germination may occur in the absence of fire, especially of exotic species.

About 20% of the differences could be attributed to changes in the predictions of extinction probability. Most differences arose from refinement of ICUN Red List Categories and Criteria. Research showed that some populations were more threatened than realised and a few changes resulted from taxonomic revision. Funds might have been distributed differently had the adjusted analysis been available in 1992. Nevertheless, comparisons between either the original or the revised 1992 list and the 2000 list demonstrate degeneration in overall status of threatened birds in Australia. It is concluded that trends in conservation status are a valid long-term measure of the risk of biodiversity loss. Stabilisation of IUCN Red List definitions should mean that an increasing proportion of the status flux should be attributable to real changes in extinction probability.

Current concerns about degradation of reef environments and alteration of the hydrologic and sediment cycles place the issue at a focal point of multiple environmental concerns. We use a geospatial clustering of a coastal zone database of river and local runoff identified with 0.5 degree grid cells to identify areas of high potential runoff effects, and combine this with a database of reported coral reef locations. Coastal cells with high runoff values are much less likely to contain reefs than low runoff cells and GIS buffer analysis demonstrates that this inhibition extends to offshore ocean cells as well. This analysis does not uniquely define the effects of sediment, since salinity, nutrients, and contaminants are potentially confounding variables also associated with runoff. However, sediment effects are likely to be a major factor and a basis is provided for extending the study to higher resolution with more specific variables.

However, there is no mathematical theory embodying these concepts, although one would be immensely valuable in humanity's efforts to manage the environment. The concept of sustainability applies to integrated systems comprising humans and the rest of nature; the structures and operation of the human component (society, economy, law, etc.) must be such that they reinforce the persistence of the structures and operation of the natural component (ecosystem trophic linkages, biodiversity, biogeochemical cycles, etc.). One of the challenges of sustainability research lies in linking measures of ecosystem functioning to the structure and operation of the associated social system. We review the nature of this complex system including its ecological, social, economic, and technological aspects, and propose an approach to assessing sustainability based on Information Theory that bridges the natural and human systems. These principles are then illustrated using a model system with an ecological food web linked to a rudimentary social system.

Although true gliding motility has not been observed in Sun4, this strain does exhibit a spreading colony morphology when grown on R2A agar. Strain Sun4 has been identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis as belonging to the genus Flavobacterium, and is most closely related to Cytophaga sp. strain Type 0092 and associated Flavobacterium columnare strains. Lipid analysis also identified fatty acids characteristic of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium group of bacteria. In culture, Sun4 is able to degrade casein and cellulose, but not chitin, gelatin, starch, or agar. Degradation of Giardia cysts by Sun4 appears to require direct cellular contact as neither cell-free extracts nor cells separated from the cysts by dialysis membranes showed any activity against cysts. Activity against Giardia cysts is rapid, with Sun4 killing over 90% of cysts within 48 h. Strain Sun4 requires elevated levels of Ca super(2+) for optimal growth and degradative activity against Giardia cysts. We propose that bacterial strains such as Sun4 could be used as biological control agents against Giardia cysts in drinking water treatment systems.

Over 800 probability-based stations were monitored in four main estuarine systems--Chesapeake Bay, the Delaware Estuary, Maryland and Virginian coastal bays, and the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. Twelve smaller estuaries within the four main systems were also assessed to establish variance at the local scale. A subset of the MAIA-Estuaries data is used here to estimate the extent of eutrophication, sediment contamination, and benthic degradation in mid-Atlantic estuaries. An Environmental Report Card and Index of Environmental Integrity summarize conditions in individual estuaries, the four estuarine systems, and the entire MAIA region. Roughly 20-50% of the region showed signs of eutrophication (high nutrients, excessive production of organic matter, poor water clarity, or depleted dissolved oxygen), 30% had contaminated sediments, and 37% had degraded benthic communities. Compared with the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP)-Virginian Province study in 1990-1993, larger fractions of Chesapeake Bay (17%) and Delaware River (32%) had increased metals or organics in sediments.

However, the disposition of arsenic after repeated exposure is not well known. This study examined the disposition of arsenic after repeated po administration of arsenate. Whole-body radioassay of adult female B6C3F1 mice was used to estimate the terminal elimination half-life of arsenic after a single po dose of [ super(73)As]arsenate (0.5 mg As/kg). From these data, it was estimated that steady-state levels of whole-body arsenic could be attained after nine repeated daily doses of [ super(73)As]arsenate (0.5 mg As/kg). The mice were whole-body radioassayed immediately before and after the repeated dosing. Excreta were collected daily and analyzed for arsenic-derived radioactivity and arsenicals. Whole-body radioactivity was determined 24 h after the last repeated dose, and five mice were then euthanized and tissues analyzed for radioactivity. The remaining mice were whole-body radioassayed for 8 more days, and then their tissues were analyzed for radioactivity. Other mice were administered either a single or nine repeated po doses of non-radioactive arsenate (0.5 mg As/kg). Twenty-four hours after the last dose, the mice were euthanized, and tissues were analyzed for arsenic by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Whole-body radioactivity was rapidly eliminated from mice after repeated [ super(73)As]arsenate exposure, primarily by urinary excretion in the form of dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)). Accumulation of radioactivity was highest in bladder, kidney, and skin. Loss of radioactivity was most rapid in the lung and slowest in the skin. There was an organ-specific distribution of arsenic as determined by AAS. Monomethylarsonic acid was detected in all tissues except the bladder. Bladder and lung had the highest percentage of DMA(V) after a single exposure to arsenate, and it increased with repeated exposure. In kidney, iAs was predominant. There was a higher percentage of DMA(V) in the liver than the other arsenicals after a single exposure to arsenate. The percentage of hepatic DMA(V) decreased and that of iAs increased with repeated exposure. A trimethylated metabolite was also detected in the liver. Tissue accumulation of arsenic after repeated po exposure to arsenate in the mouse corresponds to the known human target organs for iAs-induced carcinogenicity.

AN - 75755102; 14535309 AB - To evaluate the importance of both the inorganic and organic fractions in biosolids on Cd chemistry, a series of Cd sorption and desorption batch experiments (at pH 5.5) were conducted on different fractions of soils from a long-term field experimental site. The slope of the Cd sorption isotherm increased with rate of biosolids and was different for the different biosolids. Removal of organic carbon (OC) reduced the slope of the Cd sorption isotherm but did not account for the observed differences between biosolids-amended soils and a control soil, indicating that the increased adsorption associated with biosolids application was not limited to the increased OC from the addition of biosolids. Removal of both OC and Fe/Mn further reduced the slopes of Cd sorption isotherms and the sorption isotherm of the biosolids-amended soil was the same as that of the control, indicating both OC and Fe/Mn fractions added by the biosolids were important to the increased sorption observed for the biosolids-amended soil samples. Desorption experiments failed to remove from 60 to 90% of the sorbed Cd. This "apparent hysteresis" was higher for biosolids-amended soil than the control soil. Removal of both OC and Fe/Mn fractions was more effective in removing the observed differences between the biosolids-amended soil and the control than either alone. Results show that Cd added to biosolids-amended soil behaves differently than Cd added to soils without biosolids and support the hypothesis that the addition of Fe and Mn in the biosolids increased the retention of Cd in biosolids-amended soils.

AN - 75744652; 14524539 AB - We used geospatial techniques to study the potential impact of 2 exotic mosquitoes, Aedes albopictus and Ochlerotatus japonicus japonicus, on the epidemiology of West Nile virus in Maryland. These 2 species have established populations in Maryland over the past 15 years. Larvae of both mosquito species are found in natural and artificial water-holding cavities and containers, particularly water in tires. Therefore, we used locations of licensed tire dealers and of tire dumps scheduled for clean up as an index for potential sources of mosquito vectors. This index was expected to underestimate the actual population of source habitats. West Nile virus activity in Maryland during 1999, 2000, and 2001 was indicated by the presence of dead, infected birds, particularly American crows and other corvids; infected pools of mosquitoes; and human and horse infections. Adult females of both mosquito species are aggressive, opportunistic feeders that have been observed to take blood meals from avian and mammalian hosts. Susceptible vertebrate hosts, particularly birds, are ubiquitously distributed throughout the developed areas of the state. This analysis demonstrated a spatial convergence of the virus, the exotic mosquito vectors, and susceptible hosts. This conjunction indicated that these 2 mosquito species have a high potential to serve as bridge vectors and thus, impact the epidemiology of West Nile virus under favorable environmental and climatic conditions. Positive mosquito pools were collected from only the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan corridor, suggesting a newly created enzootic focus for this virus. Land-cover analysis of the sites where virus activity had been detected showed predominantly developed land uses. Analyses of the environmental justice aspects (social, economic, and housing characteristics) of block groups with human West Nile fever cases or with positive mosquito pools were equivocal. Human cases seemed to occur in developed block groups with lower income levels.

AN - 73623835; 12959524 AB - A mercury (Hg) saturation assay for measuring metallothionein (MT) in fish liver was modified by optimizing binding conditions to minimize the mercury and tissue consumed. The revised method uses stable Hg at low concentrations instead of 203Hg. At the reduced Hg concentrations used, MT concentrations in livers homogenized in saline appeared to increase systematically with dilution in both bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). This error suggested a binding limitation due to sulfhydryl oxidation or competition for and removal of mercury by non-MT proteins. Homogenizing tissues in trichloroacetic acid (TCA) eliminated the interference. To further evaluate the method, the protocol was tested in the laboratory and field. Metallothionein in bluegill injected with 0.6 mg/kg zinc chloride increased at a rate of 0.03 nmole MT/g liver/h (r2 = 0.53, p = 0.001). Linearity improved when data were corrected for protein content (r2 = 0.74, p < 0.0001). Metallothionein levels in bluegill from a coal ash-contaminated environment were significantly increased over that of hatchery-reared sunfish (F = 20.17, p = 0.0003). The microscaled procedure minimizes concerns related to radioisotope use and waste generation while retaining the high sensitivity of the 203Hg assay.

AN - 73610598; 12933695 AB - Thyroid hormones are essential for neonatal brain development. It is well established that insufficiency of thyroid hormone during critical periods of development can impair cognitive functions. The mechanisms that underlie learning deficits in hypothyroid animals, however, are not well understood. As impairments in synaptic function are likely to contribute to cognitive deficits, the current study tested whether thyroid hormone insufficiency during development would alter quantitative characteristics of synaptic function in the hippocampus. Developing rats were exposed in utero and postnatally to 0, 3, or 10 ppm propylthiouracil (PTU), a thyroid hormone synthesis inhibitor, administered in the drinking water of dams from gestation d 6 until postnatal day (PN) 30. Excitatory postsynaptic potentials and population spikes were recorded from the stratum radiatum and the pyramidal cell layer, respectively, in area CA1 of hippocampal slices from offspring between PN21 and PN30. Baseline synaptic transmission was evaluated by comparing input-output relationships between groups. Paired-pulse facilitation, paired-pulse depression, long-term potentiation, and long-term depression were recorded to examine short- and long-term synaptic plasticity. PTU reduced thyroid hormones, reduced body weight gain, and delayed eye-opening in a dose-dependent manner. Excitatory synaptic transmission was increased by developmental exposure to PTU. Thyroid hormone insufficiency was also dose-dependently associated with a reduction paired-pulse facilitation and long-term potentiation of the excitatory postsynaptic potential and elimination of paired-pulse depression of the population spike. The results indicate that thyroid hormone insufficiency compromises the functional integrity of synaptic communication in area CA1 of developing rat hippocampus and suggest that these changes may contribute to learning deficits associated with developmental hypothyroidism.

AN - 73603627; 12948975 AB - This study investigated the scale of the public health risk from stormwater runoff caused by urbanization. We compiled turbidity data for municipal treated drinking water as an indication of potential risk in selected US cities and compared estimated costs of waterborne disease and preventive measures. Turbidity levels in other US cities were similar to those linked to illnesses in Milwaukee, Wis, and Philadelphia, Pa. The estimated annual cost of waterborne illness is comparable to the long-term capital investment needed for improved drinking water treatment and stormwater management. Although additional data on cost and effectiveness are needed, stormwater management to minimize runoff and associated pollution appears to make sense for protecting public health at the least cost.

AN - 73397300; 12850101 AB - This article reviews the state of the science regarding the health effects of polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs) and dibenzofurans (PBDFs). While thousands of articles have been published on the health effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and related polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs), little is know about the brominated and mixed chloro/bromo homologs. Available literature suggests that brominated compounds have similar toxicity profiles to their chlorinated homologs. However, further research investigating health effects will only be useful if exposure scenarios truly exist. Current exposure data is extremely limited, posing a major data gap in assessing potential risk of these chemicals. The rapid increase in the use of brominated flame retardants has raised the level of environmental concern regarding PBDDs/PBDFs as it is likely that human, as well as wildlife, exposure to brominated dioxins and furans will increase with their use.

AN - 71323491; 14582718 AB - The form of the dose-response curve for radiation-induced cancers, particularly at low doses, is the subject of an ongoing and spirited debate. The present review describes the current database and basis for establishing a low dose, linear no threshold (LNT) model. The requirement for a dose-response model to be used for risk assessment purposes is that it fits the great majority of data derived from epidemiological and experimental tumour studies. Such is the case for the LNT model as opposed to other nonlinear models. This view is supported by data developed for radiation-induced mutations and chromosome aberrations. Potential modifiers of low dose cellular responses to radiation (such as adaptive response, bystander effects and genomic instability) have not been shown to be associated with tumour development. Such modifiers tend to influence the slope of the dose-response curve for cellular responses at low doses and not the shape--thereby resulting in a quantitative modification rather than a qualitative one. Additional data pertinent to addressing the shape of the tumour dose-response relationship at low doses are needed.

AN - 71263886; 14555197 AB - Oral exposures to high concentrations of the drinking water disinfection by-product dibromoacetic acid (DBA) over the course of 14 days have been found to disrupt estrous cyclicity in the female rat. In order to investigate possible alterations in the relevant hormonal regulatory mechanisms, female Sprague-Dawley rats were gavaged for 2 weeks with 270 mg/kg DBA, ovariectomized (OVX) and implanted with estradiol capsules. For these females, the induced luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in these animals showed a borderline suppression in peak LH concentrations that was accompanied by a marked increase in circulating estradiol. This elevation in estradiol was DBA dose-related and, for intact, normally cycling females receiving lower doses of DBA (60 and 120 mg/kg, 14 days), was present on the day of estrus, at a time when a dramatic fall from proestrous concentrations is normally evident. Evaluations of liver microsomal cytochrome p450 activity in OVX/estradiol-implanted rats showed a suppression in ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) and pentoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (PROD) activity (indications of the activity of CYP1A and 2B, respectively-two key enzymes in estradiol oxidative metabolism). Phenobarbital (PhB) exposure in these animals did show induction of this activity, but was unable to lower E2 concentrations. This suggests that a DBA-induced suppression in estradiol catabolism is present and may either involve a targeted effect on the estrogen binding site on the CYP2B1/2 and CYP1A genes apart from the PhB-responsive unit, or a second pathway (possibly sulfation) that is not PhB-inducible.

A key component of the equitable development & implementation of environmental policies is the participation of citizens & community-based organizations in the policy process. Such participation rests upon equitable access to agency-generated environmental information & effective use of that information by citizens. This article focuses on the adoption of Internet technologies by environmental agencies as a mechanism for disseminating information & the implications for low-income & minority residents in urban communities. A framework is developed to guide a programmatic response to overcome these implications. The results from several community-based projects are described & analyzed for their capacity-building effectiveness. Analysis of the projects indicates improvement in community capacity for information access & use, which bolstered community participation in the environmental decision-making process. 1 Table, 41 References.

AN - 51869155; 2004-028645 AB - Surveys have shown that pocosins (swamp-on-a-hill) occur on the southeastern Coastal Plain of the U.S. from Virginia to north Florida and once covered more than one million hectares in North Carolina. A broad definition of pocosins (sensu lato) would include all shrub and forested bogs, as well as Atlantic white cedar stands and some loblolly pine stands on flooded soils on the Coastal Plain. A stricter definition (sensu stricto) of pocosins would only include the classic shrub-scrub (short pocosin) and pond-pine-dominated tall pocosin. Common synonyms for pocosins, including bay, bayland, bayhead, xeric shrub bog, and evergreen shrub bog, further confuse what is and is not classified as a pocosin. Over 51% of the forested palustrine wetlands in North Carolina have been disturbed, with approximately 33% of pocosins having been destroyed. Pocosins are rainfall driven and lack a well-defined stream surface-flow connection to major rivers on the landscape. However, they are often found adjacent to estuaries and have surface hydrologic connections that are linked to the regional water quality and salinity gradients found in estuarine areas along the southeastern coast. This hydrologic connection, combined with the vast continuous expanses of pocosins on the landscape, suggests that they are connected to regulated tributary waters of the United States. In addition, a survey of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel in North Carolina indicates that most pocosins are considered hydrologically connected to regional water supplies since they are the source of water flow on the landscape where they dominate. However, the potential impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2001 decision in the case of Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC) on the future development of pocosins is still unknown in most states. Moreover, the Bush administration's recent (January 2003) review and redefinition of the Clean Water Act's (CWA) jurisdiction over isolated wetlands may remove federal oversight on 20% of the nation's wetlands, including pocosins not immediately adjacent to estuaries. The high rate of past wetland loss, especially for pocosin wetlands, suggests that stricter wetland laws are needed at the state and local level if we are to support the concept of "no net loss" of wetlands.

Depressional wetlands completely surrounded by upland have traditionally been called "isolated wetlands". Isolated wetlands are not confined to basins, as some occur on broad flats and others form on slopes. The term "geographically isolated wetlands" better describes these wetlands, since many are hydrologically connected to other wetlands and waterbodies through ground-water flows or by intermittent overflows (spillovers). Numerous types of geographically isolated wetlands occur throughout the United States. They may be naturally formed or the result of human action. Naturally formed types include prairie pothole wetlands, playas, Nebraska's Rainwater Basin and Sandhills wetlands, West Coast vernal pools, sinkhole wetlands, Carolina bays, interdunal and intradunal wetlands, desert springs, terminal basins in the Great Basin, and kettle-hole bogs in glaciated regions. Human-caused isolated types may be intentionally built, such as ponds designed for various purposes and wetlands built on mined lands, or they may be accidentally created (e.g., natural wetlands that were once connected to rivers and streams but are now isolated by roads, railroads, and other development or isolated by altered river hydrology). Many of the functions and benefits attributed to non-isolated wetlands are present in isolated wetlands.

In this paper, we examine water-quality data for isolated wetlands in three hydrogeomorphic classes (depressions, slopes, flats). Some isolated wetlands are dominated by atmospheric exchanges and have little ground-water or surface-water connections with adjacent systems. Other isolated wetlands are dominated by ground-water inputs and have intermittent or continuous hydrologic connections to adjacent systems. Water-quality characteristics of isolated wetlands are highly variable and depend primarily on the sources of water, substrate characteristics, and land uses associated with the wetland watershed. We were unable to identify any general pattern of water-quality characteristics within or between isolated wetlands in the three hydrogeomorphic classes. Alteration of hydrologic conditions (e.g., ditching, filling), however, usually results in increased nutrient export to downstream systems. From a water-quality perspective, we conclude that so-called isolated wetlands are rarely isolated, and isolation is a term that is not very useful from an ecosystem perspective. Isolated wetlands are nutrient sinks and, because most are hydrologically connected to other waters and wetlands, the loss of isolated wetlands would potentially have negative impacts on the water quality of downstream systems.

Although the definition is based on surface-water connections to other water bodies, isolated wetlands commonly are integral parts of extensive ground-water flow systems, and isolated wetlands can spill over their surface divides into adjacent surface-water bodies during periods of abundant precipitation and high water levels. Thus, characteristics of ground-water flow and atmospheric-water flow affect the isolation of wetlands. In general, the degree that isolated wetlands are connected through the ground-water system to other surface-water bodies depends to a large extent on the rate that ground water moves and the rate that hydrologic stresses can be transmitted through the ground-water system. Water that seeps from an isolated wetland into a gravel aquifer can travel many kilometers through the ground-water system in one year. In contrast, water that seeps from an isolated wetland into a clayey or silty substrate may travel less than one meter in one year. For wetlands that can spill over their surface watersheds during periods of wet climate conditions, their isolation is related to the height to a spill elevation above normal wetland water level and the recurrence interval of various magnitudes of precipitation. The concepts presented in this paper indicate that the entire hydrologic system needs to be considered in establishing a definition of hydrologic isolation.

The common denominator among all types of fens is recognition of the importance of ground-water discharge, especially mineral-rich ground water, in determining fen hydrology, chemistry, and vegetation, in contrast to wetlands whose characteristics are determined primarily by precipitation or surface-water inputs. Thus, fens tend to occur where climate and hydrogeologic setting sustain flows to the plant-rooting zone of mineral-rich ground water. In the United States, these areas include the glaciated Midwest and Northeast, as well as portions of the Appalachian Mountains and mountainous West. Individually and collectively, fens are among the most floristically diverse of all wetland types, supporting a large number of rare and uncommon bryophytes and vascular plant species, as well as uncommon animals including mammals, reptiles, land snails, butterflies, skippers, and dragonflies. Several species listed under the federal Endangered Species Act inhabit or use fens. Fens also help maintain stream water quality through denitrification and phosphorus sorption. Few estimates of loss and current extent exist, but where estimates are available, they indicate extensive loss, fragmentation, and degradation. Cultural eutrophication threatens the biological and functional integrity of remaining fens because, along with mineral-rich water, low availability of nitrogen and phosphorus controls many of their distinctive characteristics. Because they occur where ground water discharges to the surface, fens are isolated from neither ground water nor surface water. However, the majority of fens develop in headwater areas and could be defined as "isolated" for jurisdictional purposes because of their distance from navigable-in-fact waters. If so defined, the critical roles that fens play in maintaining biological diversity and stream water quality are at risk regarding federal jurisdiction over "isolated waters" because of the 2001 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The individual was observed three times over a period of 5 days. The timing of the observation in the annual cycle of this species suggests this to be the first reported example of singing by a female Canada Warbler. Previous reports of female song in the congeneric Wilson's Warbler (Wilsonia pusilla) and Hooded Warbler (Wilsonia citrina) support this inference.

To investigate the variability and significant differences in ACRs, an extensive data set was compiled of 456 same-species pairs of acute and maximum acceptable toxicant concentrations for metals, narcotics, pesticides, and other organic chemicals. The overall median value for 456 aquatic invertebrate and fish ACRs analyzed in the present study was 8.3, with a 16,000-fold range in values (1.1- 18,550) and a 32-fold range in 10th and 90th percentile values (2.5-79.5). Median ACRs for taxa, ambient habitat media, chronic test end point, and chemical mode of action (MOA)/class categories generally were similar but, in some cases, extremely variable (ranges of 1 to >10,000). No significant differences (p le 0.05) were found in median ACRs between taxa, although invertebrate ACRs generally were more variable than fish ACRs. Freshwater organisms had median ACRs significantly greater than those of saltwater species and also were more variable. No significant differences were found in median ACRs among chemical MOA/class data sets; however, ACR variance differed significantly among MOAs. Although few significant differences occurred among median ACRs for different groups, those categories that were highly variable are at an increased risk of underestimated chronic toxicity when mean or median ACRs are used.

Evidence, however, exists that fish sex steroid hormone receptors differ from mammalian receptors both structurally and in their binding affinities for some steroids and environmental chemicals. Most of the binding studies to date have been conducted using cytosolic preparations from various tissues. In the present study, we compare competitive binding of a set of compounds to full-length recombinant rainbow trout androgen receptor alpha (rtAR), fathead minnow androgen receptor (fhAR), and human androgen receptor (hAR), each expressed in COS cells. Saturation binding and subsequent Scatchard analysis using [ super(3)H]R1881, a high-affinity synthetic androgen, revealed an equilibrium dissociation constant (K sub(d)) of 0.11 nM for the rtAR, 1.8 nM for the fhAR, and 0.84 nM for the hAR. Compounds, including endogenous and synthetic steroids, known mammalian antiandrogens, and environmental compounds, were tested for competitive binding to each of the three receptors. Overall, agreement existed across receptors as to binding versus nonbinding for all compounds tested in this study. Minor differences, however, were found in the relative order of binding of the compounds to the individual receptors. Studies such as these will facilitate the identification of EDCs that may differentially affect specific species and aid in the development and support of future risk assessment protocols.

The loading of large amounts of these chemicals into Lake Ontario during the middle of the 20th century coincided with a population decline that culminated in extirpation of this species around 1960. Prediction of past TCDD toxicity equivalence concentrations in lake trout eggs (TEC sub(egg)s) relative to recent conditions required fine resolution of radionuclide-dated contaminant profiles in two sediment cores; reference core specific biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) for TCDD-like chemicals in lake trout eggs; adjustment of the BSAFs for the effect of temporal changes in the chemical distributions between water and sediments; and toxicity equivalence factors based on trout early life stage mortality. When compared to the dose-response relationship for overt early life stage toxicity of TCDD to lake trout, the resulting TEC sub(egg)s predict an extended period during which lake trout sac fry survival was negligible. By 1940, following more than a decade of population decline attributable to reduced fry stocking and loss of adult lake trout to commercial fishing, the predicted sac fry mortality due to AHR-mediated toxicity alone explains the subsequent loss of the species. Reduced fry survival, associated with lethal and sublethal adverse effects and possibly complicated by other environmental factors, occurred after 1980 and contributed to a lack of reproductive success of stocked trout despite gradually declining TEC sub(egg)s. Present exposures are close to the most probable no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL TEC sub(egg) = 5 pg TCDD toxicity equivalence/g egg). The toxicity predictions are very consistent with the available historical data for lake trout population levels in Lake Ontario, stocking programs, and evidence for recent improvement in natural reproduction concomitant with declining levels of persistent bioaccumulative chemicals in sediments and biota.

Analysis of the concentrations of toxic organic compounds, contaminant and crustal metals, organic carbon content and isotopic composition in sediment cores from two estuarine systems in Buzzards Bay allowed reconstruction of human impacts over 350 years. Vertical distributions of the contaminants correlate with changes in the nature of watershed/estuarine activities. All contaminants were highly enriched (tens to hundreds times background) in modern New Bedford Harbor sediments. Enrichment began around the turn of the 20th century for all but PCBs, which were first synthesized in the 1930s. An increase in organic carbon content and a shift of carbon isotopes toward a more terrestrial signature illustrates increasing anthropogenic impact in New Bedford as population grew along with the industrial base. Institution of environmental protection measures in the late 20th century was reflected in decreased, although still substantially elevated, concentrations of contaminants. A lack of industrial development in Apponagansett Bay resulted in much lower concentrations of the same indicators, although specific contaminants related to the early whaling industry increased significantly above background as early as the late 18th century. The similarity of indicators in older portions of cores from NBH and unimpacted Apponagansett Bay demonstrates that cores can be used to establish reference conditions as successfully as using separate sites judged a priori to represent the reference state. The historical reconstruction approach provides the basis for establishing relationships between environmental stressors and factors that drive the stressors, as well as a framework for the assessment of ecological response(s) to environmental stressors over a range of time and/or exposure scales.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC) has had profound implications on the legal status of isolated wetlands. As a result, policymakers need ecological information on the definition and functions of isolated wetlands to respond to this decision. The term 'isolated wetlands' is of fairly recent usage and has been poorly defined. In response, I recommend definition as wetlands 'that are completely surrounded by upland.' Isolation needs to be considered with respect to specific processes and functions. I suggest that isolation not be viewed discretely but be considered within an isolation-connectivity continuum. Isolation has a fundamental influence on the way water enters and leaves a wetland. This consequently affects any wetland function that depends on water as a vector (e.g., pollutant transport and certain types of dispersal). These wetlands can also have a high level of endemism, extensive plant zonation, and high biodiversity. Isolated wetlands, however, do not represent ecologically isolated habitat for many organisms. I conclude that the effect of isolation may not be as significant as the term 'isolated wetlands' suggests: many of the biological features of isolated wetlands may result from environmental conditions that also occur in non-isolated wetlands. As a result of SWANCC, assessment methods are needed that can help regulators distinguish between jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional isolated wetlands. I propose that the merger of simple, source-sink-transport vector concepts with landscape-level assessment methods could be useful in this regard. I point to the need for documented examples of organisms that spend most of their lives in waters of the U.S. but also require isolated wetlands. I conclude that wetland science would benefit from the development of a comprehensive view of isolation as a formative process across different regional wetland types.

Current guidance covers inactivation levels in the pH range between 6 and 9. Subsequent to the publication of these criteria, studies on the inactivation kinetics of Giardia cysts by chlorine have been performed at pH levels greater than 9. It has been shown that the chlorine inactivation process for Giardia cysts is pH dependent. The objective of this paper is to extend the current Ct values for higher pH levels. The Chick-Watson first order kinetics model was used to develop Ct values for pH levels from 6 to 11.5. A formula is provided to calculate a 100(1- alpha )% upper confidence bound for these values.

Human caliciviruses (HuCVs) were suspected as the etiological agent of the outbreak based on the incubation period, duration of illness, and symptoms observed in ill patrons. A retrospective cohort study demonstrated that ill patrons were 4.5 times more likely to have exposure to drinking water and/or ice than nonill patrons. No food items were associated with illness. An environmental investigation gave evidence that the saloon's groundwater was contaminated with sewage. Water from the saloon's only well was processed for viruses. The processed water sample and stool samples collected from three ill patrons were analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) for the presence of HuCV. All positive RT-PCR results were confirmed by sequence and phylogenetic analyses of cloned RT-PCR products. A genogroup I, subtype 3, HuCV stain was found to be present in the well water sample and two stool samples. In addition, a genogroup II, subtype 6, strain was detected in one stool sample. The identification of the same HuCV strain in both the well water and stool samples strongly suggests a link between exposure to well water and the outbreak of gastroenteritis. The presence of a genogroup II, subtype 6, strain in one of the stool samples suggests that multiple HuCV strains may have been involved in this outbreak. The laboratory isolation of HuCV strains from outbreak-associated drinking water is relatively novel in the United States. This investigation outlines the procedure for virus isolation and illustrates the utility of RT-PCR for the identification of HuCV in large volumes of water and stool samples obtained during outbreaks of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis.

Sparse or inadequate data limit the extent to which nutrient exports may be estimated from direct observations. The paucity of data for calibration and simulation limits the use of sophisticated models in most Australian catchments. Therefore, a simple unit-area load model-Catchment Management Support System (CMSS)-was selected to estimate aggregated catchment emissions for the NPI. Estimates from models like CMSS are sensitive to spatial and categorical resolution of land uses identified within the catchment and to nutrient generation rates selected for each land use category. Using three Hawkesbury-Nepean subcatchments, we show that while high spatial resolution of land use mapping is useful, only four or five major land use categories with carefully selected generation rates were required to estimate potential nutrient exports sufficiently well and to determine subcatchments contributing most. Nutrient emission estimates proved to be highly dependent on selection of generation rates so a bootstrap technique was adopted to reduce subjectivity and to improve estimates of confidence limits. This led to a specification of new generation rates for Natural, Unimproved pasture, Rural and Urban land uses and to establishment of uncertainty limits.

Samples of fine particulate matter (<2.5 mu m aerodynamic diameter; PM sub(2.5)) collected in Hettstedt in 1999 had several-fold higher levels of zinc, magnesium, lead, copper, and cadmium than samples from Zerbst. To determine if the results from epidemiologic studies could be repeated in an animal model, we administered PM sub(2.5) from Hettstedt and Zerbst to ovalbumin-allergic mice. In Balb/c mice, PM sub(2.5) from Hettstedt, but not PM sub(2.5) from Zerbst or control filter extract, caused a significant increase in immediate responses to ovalbumin challenge when aspirated 2 hr before challenge, but not when aspirated immediately before sensitization 2 weeks earlier. Antigen-specific IgE was increased by Hettstedt PM sub(2.5) whether administered before sensitization or challenge. Airway responsiveness to methacholine aerosol and lung inflammatory cell numbers were significantly increased only in allergic mice exposed to Hettstedt PM sub(2.5) before challenge. Both Hettstedt and Zerbst PM sub(2.5) significantly increased lung injury parameters and proinflammatory cytokines. These results are consistent with epidemiologic findings and show that metal composition of ambient PM sub(2.5) influences the severity of allergic respiratory disease.

AN - 18948463; 5731234 AB - Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that produces proteins active against certain insects. Beginning in the mid-1990s, crop plants expressing Bt genes were commercialized in the United States. Cry1Ab and Cry1F Bt corn are effective in controlling certain pests of corn (European corn borer, corn earworm and southwestern corn borer), and Cry1Ac Bt cotton is effective in controlling certain pests of cotton (tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm and pink bollworm). Beyond the economic benefits to growers, the use of Bt corn and Bt cotton result in less risk to human health and the environment than chemical alternatives. In 2001, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA; Washington, DC, USA) reassessed the four still registered, but expiring, Bt crops that had been accepted for agricultural use in the preceding six years (from 1995 to October 2001; Table 1). The Bt crop reassessment approvals included provisions to prevent gene flow from Bt cotton to weedy relatives, increase research data on potential environmental effects and strengthen insect resistance management.

Location The study was conducted in a 500 ha pocket of Eucalyptus-dominated savanna surrounded by a late Quaternary lava flow. The flow is known as the Great Basalt Wall, located c. 50 km northeast of Charters Towers in semi-arid north-eastern Australia. This region was exposed to the largest 5-year rainfall deficit on record between 1992 and 1996. Methods All individual woody plants were tagged within a 1.56 ha plot. Species were segregated into their habitat affinities (rain forest, ecotone, savanna) and regeneration strategy (resprouter, seeder). The survivorship of plants within these categories was analysed in relation to fire intensity from the first fire, and to each of four fires lit between 1996 and 2001. Results Before the first fire, the plot contained thirty-one tree species including twenty-one typical of the surrounding dry rain forest. These rain forest species were represented by small individuals and constituted <1% of the total basal area of woody plants. The basal area of savanna trees was 7.5 m super(2) ha super(-1) at the commencement of monitoring, although 31% had recently died and others had major crown damage. Further death of the drought debilitated savanna trees was substantial during the first year of monitoring and the basal area of live savanna trees declined to 1.1 m super(2) ha super(-1) after 5 years. Most species from both rain forest and savanna were classified as resprouters and are capable of regenerating from underground organs after fire. Species without this ability (rain forest seeders and ecotone seeders) were mostly eliminated after the first two consecutive fires. Among resprouters, survivorship declined as fire intensity increased and this was more pronounced for rain forest than for savanna species. Repeated burning produced a cumulative effect of decreasing survivorship for rain forest resprouters relative to savanna resprouters. Main conclusions The study provides evidence that savanna and rain forest trees differ in fire susceptibility and that recurrent fire can explain the restricted distribution of rain forest in the seasonally arid Australian tropics. The time of death of the savanna trees is consistent with the regional pattern after severe drought, and highlights the importance of medium term climate cycles for the population dynamics of savanna tree species and structure of Australian savannas.

Epidemiological studies have shown an association of sub-optimal pregnancy outcomes in one generation with similar events in the following one, a phenomenon termed the 'intergenerational effect'. Data indicate that the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and/or low birth weight infants is more closely correlated with the mother's perinatal environment than with that during her pregnancy. However, epidemiological studies are inherently limited given the variability of lifestyles, ethnicity, nutritional status, and exposures to environmental factors. An appropriate animal model would permit control of parameters that may be impossible to evaluate in human populations. The current studies investigated the mouse as a possible animal model. Pregnant CD-1 mice were placed on an ad libitum or food-restricted diet (50% normal) throughout gestation to generate control (CON) and intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) litters. At birth (postnatal day (PD) 1) pups (F1) were cross-fostered to control dams in litters of either 8 (CON) or 16 (postnatal food restriction (FR)). The experimental groups thus generated represented adequate nutrition (CON-CON) and undernutrition during the prenatal (IUGR-CON), or postnatal periods (CON-FR), or both (IUGR-FR). Pups of dams on a restricted diet during gestation had significant IUGR (P<0.001) as compared to controls (birth weights of 1.32 g versus 1.63 g). At weaning, the average weight of the pups was dependent on postnatal litter size and the difference in birth weights between IUGR and CON animals was not a significant factor. CON-CON pup weight was 24.1 g and IUGR-CON was 22.2 g as compared to the CON-FR (17.0 g) and IUGR-FR (17.3 g) groups. The difference in weaning pup weights between the FR and CON groups was significant (P<0.01). The F1 FR females did not reach CON female weights at any time point through 11 months after weaning. At PD60, a single breeding period for all groups of females with CON males began and continued for 75 days with 17 opportunities for breeding. Animals that became pregnant during this time were removed and allowed to litter. No significant differences were noted in average F2 litter size or average pup weight at birth: (CON-CON 12.2/1.62 g; IUGR-CON 11.9/1.62 g; CON-FR 10.9/1.70 g; IUGR-FR 11.3/1.61 g). We conclude that body weight at birth in the CD-1 mouse is not correlated with growth through the period of weaning (PD28). We did not find any evidence for an intergenerational reproductive effect after developmental undernutrition.

Streambed stone stability, packing and embeddedness were assessed within and adjacent to beds of the macrophyte Justicia americana in five Alabama streams.The force needed to dislodge stones and embeddedness was about two times lower outside Justicia beds than within them. Significant positive correlations between stone stability and (i) degree of embeddedness, and (ii) the abundance of binding rhizomes and the presence of attached roots indicate that Justicia may physically modify the local streambed, indirectly enhancing substratum stability and reducing flow, thereby increasing sand deposition.Despite higher stability (i.e. physical refugia during bed-moving spates) within Justicia beds, the abundance of epilithic plants (moss and Podostemum ceratophyllum) and pleurocerid snails (Elimia spp.) was similar both inside and outside the macrophyte beds. Several physical characteristics within macrophyte beds, such as low light, reduced current and increased sand intrusion, may create suboptimal conditions for benthic organisms in these habitats.Additional work is needed to determine if Justicia biogenically enhances substratum stability or if its presence merely reflects patches of stable substratum within the streambed. Regardless of the mechanism, there is an association between Justicia beds and streambed characteristics.

The size, height, and spatial distribution of micromounds and surrounding depressions were measured by a modified erosion bridge at three distances (50, 450, and 1050m) from water points in desert grassland pastures in the Jornada Basin, New Mexico, USA. Plots at 50m had fewer micromounds and the mounds were smaller than those recorded on the more distant plots. Microtopography of plots at 450m from water was not significantly different from that recorded at 50m. Microtopography of plots that were 1050m from water points was significantly different from that of plots nearer water points. Strong correlation between microtopography and the cover of long-lived perennial grasses (R super(2)=91%) was found, such dependence could be used for assessing the trend in organic matter content that is in concordance with that of microtopography. Loss of microtopography from the impact of livestock in piospheres exacerbates erosion processes and contributes to desertification.

The choice of an MMU that is appropriate for the projected use of a classification is an important consideration. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of MMU on a LC classification of the Neuse River Basin (NRB) in North Carolina. The results of this work indicate that MMU size had a significant effect on accuracy estimates only when the MMU was changed by relatively large amounts. Typically, an MMU is selected as close as possible to the original data resolution so as to reduce the loss of specificity introduced in the resampling process. Since only large MMU changes resulted in significant differences in the accuracy estimates, an analyst may have the flexibility to select from a range of MMUs that are appropriate for a given application.

This study represents the first comprehensive investigation of DBPs formed by chlorine dioxide under high bromide conditions. Drinking water from full-scale treatment plants in Israel was studied, along with source water (Sea of Galilee) treated under carefully controlled laboratory conditions. Select DBPs (trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, aldehydes, chlorite, chlorate, and bromate) were quantified. Many of the DBPs identified have not been previously reported, and several of the identifications were confirmed through the analysis of authentic standards. Elevated bromide levels in the source water caused a significant shift in speciation to bromine-containing DBPs; bromoform and dibromoacetic acid were the dominant DBPs observed, with very few chlorine-containing compounds found. Iodo-trihalomethanes were also identified, as well as a number of new brominated carboxylic acids and 2,3,5-tribromopyrrole, which represents the first time a halogenated pyrrole has been reported as a DBP. Most of the bromine-containing DBPs were formed during pre-chlorination at the initial reservoir, and were not formed by chlorine dioxide itself. An exception was the iodo-THMs, which appeared to be formed by a combination of chlorine dioxide with chloramines or chlorine (either added deliberately or as an impurity in the chlorine dioxide). A separate laboratory study was also conducted to quantitatively determine the contribution of fulvic acids and humic acids (from isolated natural organic matter in the Sea of Galilee) as precursor material to several of the DBPs identified. Results showed that fulvic acid plays a greater role in the formation of THMs, haloacetic acids, and aldehydes, but 2,3,5-tribromopyrrole was produced primarily from humic acid. Because this was the first time a halopyrrole has been identified as a DBP, 2,3,5-tribromopyrrole was tested for mammalian cell cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. In comparison to other DBPs, 2,3,5-tribromopyrrole was 8x, 4.5x, and 16x more cytotoxic than dibromoacetic acid, 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2-[5H]-furanone [MX], and potassium bromate, respectively. 2,3,5-Tribromopyrrole also induced acute genomic damage, with a genotoxic potency (299 mu M) similar to that of MX.

SWANCC represented a major reinterpretation of the CWA by re-emphasizing the importance of navigability in the definition of 'waters of the United States' protected by the statute. The decision also implied that isolated waters might be 'waters of the United States' where they had a 'significant nexus' to navigable waters. Understanding the significance of SWANCC requires a historical look at the geographic scope of federal laws and regulations protecting surface waters. The concept of navigability had been prominent in the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, but the principal implementation focus for the CWA after its enactment in 1972 and prior to SWANCC had been on the hydrologic cycle and the relevance of links to interstate commerce for determining what waters were protected under the CWA. In upcoming years and months, the geographic jurisdiction of the CWA will continue to be debated in the courts, within Federal agencies, and by the public. Aquatic resource science will play a key role in helping ensure that the CWA is implemented in a scientifically defensible manner, consistent with SWANCC. One area in need of particular emphasis is additional research on the ways in which isolated waters help ensure the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of navigable waters and their tributaries. It is this question-the 'significant nexus' between an intrastate non-navigable isolated water and the rest of the aquatic ecosystem-that will likely determine whether the water will be protected by the CWA.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SWANCC), the U.S. Supreme Court held that isolated, intrastate, non-navigable waters could not be protected under the Clean Water Act based solely on their use by migratory birds. The SWANCC decision has created a need to compile and make available scientific information for post-SWANCC policy development. In response, this article reviews the state of our scientific understanding of isolated wetlands, based on the major findings of papers contributed to this special issue of Wetlands. Because the term 'isolated wetland' has not been used consistently in the scientific literature, we recommend that geographically isolated wetlands be defined as 'wetlands that are completely surrounded by upland,' as proposed by Tiner, for the purposes of scientific studies. Geographically isolated wetlands are not homogeneous but have a broad range of functional response, partly due to their occurrence over a wide range of climatic and geologic settings. One major question addressed through this special issue is the role that isolation plays in the function of geographically isolated wetlands. It appears that isolation is not a primary factor and that many of the functions performed by isolated wetlands are also performed by non-isolated wetlands and non-wetland ecosystems. Variability in moisture conditions plays an important role in the function of many geographically isolated wetlands. However, hydrologic isolation may affect moisture conditions, and biotic isolation could be important for certain populations. Depending on the factor being considered, geographically isolated wetlands are not entirely isolated but are better viewed as occurring within an isolation-connectivity continuum that has both hydrologic and biotic expressions. The juxtaposition of isolation and connectivity occurring in geographically isolated wetlands may represent a semi-isolated state that uniquely shapes these wetlands and their functions. Comprehensive data, designating the number, total area, and functional classification of isolated wetlands, would provide the foundation for monitoring impacts to isolated wetlands. Studies are needed to examine and quantify how isolated wetlands, wetland complexes, and other potentially impacted waters contribute hydrologically, chemically, and biologically to waters of the U.S. Methods to assess and map the degree of connectivity between geographically isolated wetlands and waters of the U.S., based on ground-water travel time, recurrence frequency of intermittent surface-water connections, and home ranges of species that require both types of waters, could be useful for regulators. Whatever policies are developed, scientific input and technical information will continue to play a crucial role in the policy and regulatory arena. Maintaining and enhancing the dialogue among wetland scientists, policy-makers, and regulators will ensure that critical information is developed and communicated and also continue to invigorate wetland science.

AN - 1859421854; 12915002 AB - Animal models of human cognitive processes are essential for studying the neurobiological mechanisms of these processes and for developing therapies for intoxication and neurodegenerative diseases. A discrete-trial signal detection task was developed for assessing sustained attention in rats; a previous study showed that rats perform as predicted from the human sustained attention literature. In this study, we measured the behavior of humans in a task formally homologous to the task for rats, varying two of the three parameters previously shown to affect performance in rats. Signal quality was manipulated by varying the increment in the intensity of a lamp. Trial rate was varied among values of 4, 7, and 10 trials/min. Accuracy of signal detection was quantified by the proportion of correct detections of the signal (P(hit)) and the proportion of false alarms (P(fa), i.e. incorrect responses on non-signal trials). As with rats, P(hit) in humans increased with increasing signal intensity whereas P(fa) did not. Like rats, humans were sensitive to the trial rate, though the change in behavior depended on the sex of the subject. These data show that visual signal detection behavior in rats and humans is controlled similarly by two important parameters, and suggest that this task assesses similar processes of sustained attention in the two species.

AN - 73608737; 12953855 AB - The geologic storage (GS) of carbon dioxide (CO2) is emerging as an important tool for managing carbon. While this Journal recently published an excellent review of GS technology (Bruant, R. G.; Guswa, A. J.; Celia, M. A.; Peters, C. A. Environ. Sci. Technol. 2002, 36, 240A-245A), few studies have explored the regulatory environment for GS or have compared it with current underground injection experience. We review the risks and regulatory history of deep underground injection on the U.S. mainland and surrounding continental shelf. Our treatment is selective, focusing on the technical and regulatory aspects that are most likely to be important in assessing and managing the risks of GS. We also describe current underground injection activities and explore how these are now regulated.

Previous studies have associated Zn super(2+) levels in PM with health effects in exposed populations and have shown proinflammatory properties of Zn super(2+) exposure in vivo and in vitro. In the present study, we studied the mechanisms of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dimerization, phosphorylation, and kinase activity in A431 cells treated with Zn super(2+). EGF, but not Zn super(2+), induced dimerization of EGFR in A431 cells and membrane extracts. Like EGF, Zn super(2+) induced phosphorylation of EGFR at tyrosines 845, 1068, and 1173. However, unlike EGF, Zn super(2+) failed to induce detectable dimerization of EGFR. The EGFR kinase inhibitor PD153035 ablated all phosphorylation induced by EGF but none caused by Zn super(2+). PD153035 abolished EGF-induced phosphorylation of the EGFR substrate Cbl, but had no effect on levels of phospho-Cbl caused by Zn super(2+). Inhibition of EGFR kinase activity did, however, blunt Zn super(2+)-induced phosphorylation of ERK. Exposure to Zn super(2+), but not EGF, induced phosphorylation of the activating site of c-Src (tyrosine 416), and Zn super(2+)-induced phosphorylation of EGFR at tyrosines 845 and 1068 was blocked by the c-Src kinase activity inhibitor PP2. In summary, Zn super(2+) ions induce EGFR phosphorylation in a manner dependent on c-Src but not on EGFR dimerization or EGFR kinase activation, suggesting that Zn super(2+) induces EGFR transactivation by c-Src.

The results indicate that the remaining air plumes from the disaster site were comprised of many pollutants and classes and represent a complex mixture of biogenic (wood-smoke) and anthropogenic sources. This mixture includes compounds that are typically associated with fossil fuel emissions and their combustion products. The molecular markers for these emissions include the high molecular weight PAHs, the n-alkanes, a Carbon Preference Index similar to 1 (odd carbon:even carbon similar to 1), as well as pristane and phytane as specific markers for fuel oil degradation. These results are not unexpected considering the large number of diesel generators and outsized vehicles used in the removal phases. The resulting air plume would also include emissions of burning and remnant materials from the WTC site. Only a small number of molecular markers for these emissions have been identified such as retene and 1,4a-dimethyl-7-(methylethyl)-1,2,3,4,9,10,10a,4a-octahydrophenant hrene that are typically biogenic in origin. In addition, the compound 1,3-diphenylpropane-[1',1'-(1,3-propanediyl)bis-benzene] was observed, and to our knowledge, this species has not previously been reported from ambient sampling. It has been associated with polystyrene and other plastics, which are in abundance at the WTC site. These emissions lasted for at least 3 weeks (September 26-October 21, 2001) after the initial destruction of the WTC.

Possible explanations for the patterns in autotroph abundances were explored through examination of their correlations with the physicochemical characteristics of the water column. Study sites were established in each of three zones in the estuary defined by temperature and salinity and were sampled monthly June through September 1998 and in July 1999.Z. marina and macroalgal cover andZ. marina shoot density were measured in 0.25-m super(2) plots at each site. After cover estimates and shoot counts were made, material was harvested for determination ofZ. marina and macroalgal biomass. Water column variables were measured from stations near each study site and composited on a depth-averaged, monthly basis for each zone. BothZ. marina and green macroalgal abundance differed between sites, over the summer in 1998, and between years. Seasonal patterns were most obvious forZ. marina at the site closest to the ocean while the pattern in macroalgal abundance suggested a bloom moving up river as summer progressed. The physicochemical characteristics of the zones differed with the season and could be related to the patterns inZ. marina and macroalgal abundance. In particular, salinity was positively correlated withZ. marina abundance, while abundance of both autotrophs was related to light availability.Z. marina biomass ranged 19-109 g dry weight m super(-2); green macroalgae biomass ranged 5-234 g dry weight m super(-2). The biomass of the green macroalgae at several sites and dates equaled or exceed that of theZ. marina suggesting the potential for nuisance algal blooms does exist in Yaquina Bay.

AN - 75705581; 14506632 AB - We report on a deposition of oxalate crystals on ferruginous bodies after occupational exposure to asbestos demonstrated in 3 patients. We investigated the mechanism and possible significance of this deposition by testing the hypothesis that oxalate generated through nonenzymatic oxidation of ascorbate by asbestos-associated iron accounts for the deposition of the crystal on a ferruginous body. Crocidolite asbestos (1000 microg/mL) was incubated with 500 micromol H(2)O(2) and 500 micromol ascorbate for 24 hours at 22 degrees C. The dependence of oxalate generation on iron-catalyzed oxidant production was tested with the both the metal chelator deferoxamine and the radical scavenger dimethylthiourea. Incubation of crocidolite, H(2)O(2), and ascorbate in vitro generated approximately 42 nmol of oxalate in 24 hours. Oxalate generation was diminished significantly by the inclusion of either deferoxamine or dimethylthiourea in the reaction mixture. Incubation of asbestos bodies and uncoated fibers isolated from human lung with 500 micromol H(2)O(2) and 500 micromol ascorbate for 24 hours at 22 degrees C resulted in the generation of numerous oxalate crystals. We conclude that iron-catalyzed production of oxalate from ascorbate can account for the deposition of this crystal on ferruginous bodies.

AN - 73655115; 12971695 AB - Parents in all countries want and deserve safe and healthy environments for their children. Children in all countries need, as part of normal growth and development, regular and frequent opportunities to interact with their environments as they learn to crawl, run, climb, swim, and explore. Environmental scientists and regulators recognize that environmental hazards are not contained by international borders. This is of special concern for children, because they are intrinsically at greater risk, compared to adults. They have different opportunities for exposure, greater response to certain toxicants, and less empowerment to alter their environments. There is a growing awareness that adverse health effects in children can adversely affect a country's future productivity and well-being. Multiple government agencies, NGOs, and advocates are mobilizing to address these concerns. A sustained concerted effort will be needed to afford equitable and effective environmental health protection to the world's children, present and future.

AN - 73642232; 12971694 AB - The success of regional networks to provide incentives and mechanisms for sharing information is illustrated through the North American Regional Action Plan on DDT (NARAP). This NARAP was designed to reduce human and environmental exposure to DDT and its metabolites in North America through cooperative efforts. The increasing role of environmental concerns in the planning and design of Mexico's DDT phase-out program motivated the Mexican Ministry of Health to undertake an alternative program for malaria control maximizing community participation without negatively affecting human and ecosystem health. This program relies on: 1) elimination of parasites in people, 2) improvement of personal and household hygiene, and 3) use of environmental management practices to eliminate mosquito breeding sites. This new strategy resulted in the elimination of DDT for malaria control in Mexico in the year 2000. While malaria and its corresponding vectors show considerable variability within a single country and certainly around the globe, the case example of Mexico provides a methodology for developing alternatives to DDT.

AN - 73533006; 12902193 AB - Chronic high-dose inhalation of carbon black (CB) can produce carcinomas in rat lungs. The mechanisms underlying this response are uncertain. It has been hypothesized that chronic inflammation and cell proliferation may play a role in the development of tumors after high dose, long-term contact of the particles with lung epithelial cells. In this investigation, we analyzed the formation of a known mutagenic lesion [8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG)] in the lung DNA of rats following subchronic inhalation of CB (Printex-90 and Sterling V). Briefly, female Fischer 344 rats were exposed for 6 h/day, 5 days/week for 13 weeks to 1, 7, and 50 mg/m(3) of Printex-90 (16 nm; specific surface area 300 m(2)/g) and to 50 mg/m(3) of Sterling V CB (70 nm; surface area of 37 m(2)/g). The exposure concentration of Sterling V was selected to be equivalent in terms of retained mass in the lung to the high dose of Printex-90 at the end of exposure. However, in terms of retained particle surface area, the retained lung dose of Sterling V was equivalent to the mid-dose of Printex 90. This design allows comparison of results on the basis of retained particle mass as well as retained particle surface area between the two CB particles. The formation of 8-oxo-dG in the lung DNA was assessed using a reverse phase HPLC system coupled with UV and electrochemical (EC) detection. After 13 weeks of exposure, measurements were made on lung samples obtained at the end of the exposure and a 44-week recovery period in clean air. Lung burdens of CB were determined at both time points as well as differential cell populations from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL). The results indicate that lung particle overload was achieved after exposure to 7 and 50 mg/m(3) (Printex-90) and 50 mg/m3 (Sterling V) but not at 1 mg/m(3) (Printex-90). Consistent with these results, a significant increase (P < 0.05) in 8-oxo-dG induction was observed following 13 weeks of exposure to 50 mg/m(3) Printex-90 and at 7 and 50 mg/m(3) after the 44-week recovery period. Interestingly, no increase in 8-oxo-dG was observed for Sterling V CB at either time point despite lung particle overload. Although the retained mass dose of Sterling V at the end of exposure was even higher than for Printex 90 (50 mg/m(3) exposure group) (approximately 7.6 vs 4.8 mg), the surface area of the retained Sterling V was similar to that of the retained Printex 90 of the mid-dose exposure (7 mg/m(3)) (approximately 0.2 m(2) in both groups). Since both Sterling V (50 mg/m(3)) and Printex 90 (7 mg/m(3)) did not induce significant increases in 8-oxo-dG in the lung at the end of the 13-week exposure, this finding indicates that a retained large particle mass is not always correlated with similar adverse effects but that particle surface area is a better dose parameter. The lower effect per unit mass dose seen with Sterling V is consistent with earlier studies showing that particle surface area of low toxicity particles is a more appropriate dosemetric for induction of inflammation in the lungs than particle mass (Oberdörster et al., 1994, 2001; Brown et al. 2001; Donaldson et al., 2002). An increase (p < 0.05) in lung lavage neutrophils was observed at 7 mg/m(3) (Printex-90) and 50 mg/m(3) (Printex-90 and Sterling V) at the 13-week exposure period and again at 50 mg/m(3) (Printex-90 and Sterling V, 44-week recovery period). Our current findings suggest that prolonged, high-dose exposure to CB can promote oxidative DNA damage that is consistent with the hypothesis that inflammatory cell-derived oxidants may play a role in the pathogenesis of rat lung tumors following long-term high-dose exposure to CB in rats.

AN - 73518933; 12877875 AB - Accounting of carbon stocks in woody vegetation for greenhouse purposes requires definition of medium term trends with accurate error assessment. Tree and shrub cover was sampled through time at randomly located sites over a large area of central Queensland, Australia using aerial photography from 1945 to 1999. Calibration models developed from field data for the same land types as those represented within the study area allowed for the extrapolation of overstorey and understorey cover, basal area and biomass values and these were modelled as trends over the latter half of the 20th century. These structural attributes have declined over the region because of land clearing with values for biomass changing from a mean of 58.0(+/-1.2)t/ha in 1953 to 41.1(+/-1.0)t/ha in 1991. The biomass of Acacia on clay and Eucalypt on texture contrast soils land types has declined most dramatically. Within uncleared vegetation there was an overall trend of increase from 56.1(+/-1.2)t/ha in 1951 to 67.6(+/-1.3)t/ha in 1995. The increase in structural attributes within uncleared vegetation was most pronounced for the Eucalypt on texture contrast soils and Eucalypt on clay land types. It was demonstrated that the sites sampled were representative of their land types and that spatial bias of the photography, undetected tree-killing, sampling error, inherent variability of structural attributes and measurement error should not have impacted greatly on bias or precision of trend estimates for well-sampled land types. Certainly the errors are not likely to be substantial for trends averaged over all land types and they provide an accurate assessment of the magnitude and direction of change. The technique presented here would appear to be a robust means of accounting for the above-ground woody component of woodlands and open forests and will also contribute to a broader understanding of savanna dynamics.

AN - 73498436; 12877874 AB - Features of the land management history over a 125,755 km(2) area of central Queensland, Australia were determined from a variety of sources. A random sample of 205 site locations provided the basis for determining trends in land use. Trends in vegetation clearing were determined using sequential aerial photography for the sample sites, revealing a steady rate averaging nearly 1% of the region per annum over 41 years. This measure of sustained clearing over a large region is higher than recently published clearing rates from South America. Land types have been selectively cleared with over 90% of the Acacia on clay land type having been cleared. A land-holder questionnaire pertaining to the random sites yielded a response rate of 71% and provided information on vegetation clearing, ploughing, tree killing (ring-barking or tree poisoning), and fire frequency, season and intensity. The land-holder responses were compared with independent data sources where possible and revealed no mis-information. However, land-holders may have been marginally less likely to respond if the sample area had been cleared, although this effect was not statistically significant. Ploughing and tree killing are variable depending on land type, but the former has affected about 40% of the Acacia on clay land type, effectively eliminating options for natural regrowth. The proportion of decade-site combinations that were reported as having no fires increased from 22% in the 1950s to an average of 42% for subsequent decades, although the reporting of more than one fire per decade has been relatively constant through the study period. The reporting of at least one fire per decade varies from 46% for the Acacia on sand land type to 77% for the Eucalypt on sand land type for decade-site combinations. Fires are more intense when associated with clearing than in uncleared vegetation, but the proportion of cool and hot fires is relatively constant between land types in uncleared vegetation. Nearly all fires reported were either in spring or summer and this seasonally restricted regime is probably at variance with Aboriginal fire regimes. This study describes the rapid transformation of central Queensland. This has yielded substantially increased agricultural production but may also result in a range of negative impacts and these are discussed.

I: maternal and prenatal evaluations. AN - 73481855; 12773773 AB - The maternal and developmental toxicities of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS, C8F17SO3-) were evaluated in the rat and mouse. PFOS is an environmentally persistent compound used as a surfactant and occurs as a degradation product of both perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride and substituted perfluorooctane sulfonamido components found in many commercial and consumer applications. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were given 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 mg/kg PFOS daily by gavage from gestational day (GD) 2 to GD 20; CD-1 mice were similarly treated with 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/kg PFOS from GD 1 to GD 17. Controls received 0.5% Tween-20 vehicle (1 ml/kg for rats and 10 ml/kg for mice). Maternal weight gain, food and water consumption, and serum chemistry were monitored. Rats were euthanized on GD 21 and mice on GD 18. PFOS levels in maternal serum and in maternal and fetal livers were determined. Maternal weight gains in both species were suppressed by PFOS in a dose-dependent manner, likely attributed to reduced food and water intake. Serum PFOS levels increased with dosage, and liver levels were approximately fourfold higher than serum. Serum thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in the PFOS-treated rat dams were significantly reduced as early as one week after chemical exposure, although no feedback response of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was observed. A similar pattern of reduction in T4 was also seen in the pregnant mice. Maternal serum triglycerides were significantly reduced, particularly in the high-dose groups, although cholesterol levels were not affected. In the mouse dams, PFOS produced a marked enlargement of the liver at 10 mg/kg and higher dosages. In the rat fetuses, PFOS was detected in the liver but at levels nearly half of those in the maternal counterparts, regardless of administered doses. In both rodent species, PFOS did not alter the numbers of implantations or live fetuses at term, although small deficits in fetal weight were noted in the rat. A host of birth defects, including cleft palate, anasarca, ventricular septal defect, and enlargement of the right atrium, were seen in both rats and mice, primarily in the 10 and 20 mg/kg dosage groups, respectively. Our results demonstrate both maternal and developmental toxicity of PFOS in the rat and mouse.

Efforts were made to draw yield surfaces in the stress space. To pay special attention to anisotropic yielding due to solely the shear process, p' was kept constant to avoid yielding caused by the change of p'.sigma (sub 1) - direction from the vertical in the shear process was fixed to be from 0 degrees to 90 degrees at 11.25 degrees interval. It was found that the sand starts yielding progressively from the strain level as small as 0.002%. The simple way of interpreting elastic behaviour below the large-scale yield surface, which is determined to be at much larger strain level, can not explain such behaviour. Two subyield surfaces, Y (sub 1) and Y (sub 2) , were identified inside the large-scale yield surface, Y (sub 3) . It is shown that these surfaces can explain nonlinearity and degradation of stiffness moduli. Anisotropy and mobility of the subyield surfaces were also studied in the p'-constant shear plane. When the initial stress state was at the origin of the shear plane (isotropic stress state), the shape of the yield surface was approximately circular with the center shifted toward compression in the vertical direction. Anisotropy increased with the progress of shearing. Y (sub 1) and Y (sub 2) surfaces were mobile and moved with the current stress point in the p'-constant shear plane, though Y (sub 3) surface was comparatively immobile. The shapes of yield surfaces also changed with the movement of current stress point.

Many of these absorption bands are relatively broad and overlapping; however, spectral analysis methods, including continuum removal and derivative analysis, permit most of the minerals to be distinguished. Key spectral differences between the minerals are illustrated in a series of plots showing major absorption band centers and other spectral feature positions. Because secondary iron minerals are sensitive indicators of pH, Eh, relative humidity, and other environmental conditions, spectral mapping of mineral distributions promises to have important application to mine waste remediation studies.

Projected increases in carbon dioxide and temperature over the next 50 years exceed the conditions under which coral reefs have flourished over the past half-million years. However, reefs will change rather than disappear entirely, with some species already showing far greater tolerance to climate change and coral bleaching than others. International integration of management strategies that support reef resilience need to be vigorously implemented, and complemented by strong policy decisions to reduce the rate of global warming.

However, a number of simplifying assumptions can be used to develop and validate (Q)CARs to predict the toxicity of metals: The ionic form is the most active form of a metal; the bioactivity of a dissolved metal is correlated with its free ion concentration or activity; most metals exist in biological systems as cations, and differences in metal toxicity result from differences in metal ion binding to biological molecules (ligand-binding). In summary, it appears that certain useful correlations can be made between several physical and chemical properties of ions (mostly cations) and toxicity of metals. This review provides a historical perspective of studies that have reported correlations between physical and chemical properties of cations and toxicity to mammalian and nonmammalian species using in vitro and in vivo assays. To prepare this review, approximately 100 contributions dating from 1839 to 2003 were evaluated and the relationships between about 20 physical and chemical properties of cations and their potential to produce toxic effects were examined.

Many structure-activity relationship models have been developed to predict chemical binding to the estrogen receptor as an indication of potential estrogenicity. Models based on either two-dimensional or three-dimensional molecular descriptions that have been used to predict potential for binding to the estrogen receptor are the subject of the current review. The utility of such approaches to predict binding potential of diverse chemical structures in large chemical inventories, with potential application in a tiered risk assessment scheme, is discussed.

As the demand for different types of regulatory testing increases and the cost of experimental testing escalates, there is a need to evaluate the use of QSARs and provide some guidance to avoid their misuse, especially as QSARs are being considered for regulatory purposes. This paper provides some guidelines that will promote the proper development and use of QSARs. While this paper uses examples of QSARs to predict toxicity, the proposed guidelines are applicable to QSARs used to predict physical or chemical properties, environmental fate, ecological effects and health effects.

Overall progress has been hampered by the sparseness of good quality experimental data. A number of researchers have used the same data set to develop QSARs for predicting percutaneous absorption rates, a fact that makes it difficult, at this time, to recommend one or two QSARs for predicting percutaneous absorption rates. Identification of chemicals within domains of large chemical universes that should be tested to improve QSARs and the subsequent development of experimental percutaneous absorption rates for those chemicals will facilitate the development of more robust QSARs for predicting percutaneous absorption rates.

These models differ not only in the processes they address but also in the way a given process is described. Processes described by these models include chemical diffusion through the gills interlamellar water, epithelium, and lamellar blood plasma; advective chemical transport to and from the gill by ventilation and perfusion, respectively; and internal chemical deposition by thermodynamic partitioning to lipid and other organic phases. This article reviews the construction and associated assumptions of 10 of the most widely cited fish bioconcentration models. These models are then compared with respect to their ability to predict observed uptake and elimination rates using a common database for those model parameters that they have in common. Statistical analyses of observed and predicted exchange rates reveal that rates predicted by these models can be calibrated almost equally well to observed data. This fact is independent of how well any given model is able to predict observed exchange rates without calibration. The importance of gill exchange models and how they might by improved are also discussed.

This work studies a literature procedure as a possible general approach to many pesticides and potentially other analytes that are considered to be liquid chromatographic (LC) candidates, rather than gas chromatographic (GC) ones. The analysis of the sewage effluent of a major southwestern U.S. city serves as an example of the application of the methodology to a real sample. Recovery studies were also conducted to validate the proposed extraction step. A gradient elution program was followed for the high-performance LC (HPLC) leading to a general approach for acidics. Confirmation of identity was by electron ionization-GC-mass spectrometry (MS) after conversion of the acids to the methyl ester (or other appropriate methylation) by means of trimethylsilyldiazomethane. The 3,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is used as an internal standard to monitor the reaction, and polychlorobiphenyl #19 is used for the quantitation internal standard. Although others have reported similar analyses of acids, conversion to the methyl ester is by means of diazomethane itself, rather than by the more convenient and safe trimethylsilyldiazomethane. Thus, the present paper supports the use of trimethylsilyldiazomethane with all of these acids (trimethylsilyldiazomethane has been used in environmental work with some phenoxyacetic acid herbicides) and further supports the usefulness of this reagent as a potential replacement for diazomethane. The HPLC approach here could also serve as the separation basis for an LC-MS solution for confirmation of identity, as well as quantitation.

The amount of residual EO remaining in a device depends partly on the type and size of polymeric material. A major concern is the amount of residue that may be available in the body. With the use of the method described by AAMI for headspace analysis of EO residues, different polymers and medical devices subjected to different numbers of sterilization cycles were examined. Next, the effect of various extraction conditions and extraction solutions on these polymers and medical devices was evaluated. The results showed different polymers desorb EO differently. One polyurethane (PU 75D) had much higher EO residue than a different polyurethane (PU 80A). Repeated extraction of the PU 75D was necessary to quantify total EO residue levels. Different extraction solutions influence the amount and reproducibility of EO detected, whereas multiple resterilizations showed no difference in amount of residual EO. Bioavailability of EO was estimated by extracting the devices and polymers in water. Comparison of total EO residues to EO that was bioavailable showed no difference for some polymers and devices, while others had an almost eightfold difference.

With the ever-increasing production of new chemicals, and the need to optimize resources to assess thousands of existing chemicals in commerce, regulatory agencies have turned to QSARs as essential tools to help prioritize tiered risk assessments when empirical data are not available to evaluate toxicological effects. Progress in designing scientifically credible QSARs is intimately associated with the development of empirically derived databases of well-defined and quantified toxicity endpoints, which are based on a strategic evaluation of diverse sets of chemical structures, modes of toxic action, and species. This review provides a brief overview of four databases created for the purpose of developing QSARs for estimating toxicity of chemicals to aquatic organisms. The evolution of QSARs based initially on general chemical classification schemes, to models founded on modes of toxic action that range from nonspecific partitioning into hydrophobic cellular membranes to receptor-mediated mechanisms is summarized. Finally, an overview of expert systems that integrate chemical-specific mode of action classification and associated QSAR selection for estimating potential toxicological effects of organic chemicals is presented.

At times, it is useful to conduct screening risk assessments to assist in prioritizing or ranking chemicals on the basis of potential hazard and exposure assessment parameters. Ranking of large chemical inventories can provide evidence for focusing research and/or cleanup efforts on specific chemicals of concern. Because of financial and time constraints, data gaps exist, and the risk assessor is left with decisions on which models to use to estimate the parameter of concern. In this review, several methods are presented for using quantitative structure- activity relationships (QSARs) in conducting hazard screening or screening-level risk assessments. The ranking methods described include those related to current regulatory issues associated with chemical inventories from Canada, Europe, and the United States and an example of a screening-level risk assessment conducted on chemicals associated with a watershed in the midwest region of the United States.

This article describes how the park establishment process turned negative local opinion positive. The basis for success was a shift of focus from restrictions inside the boundaries of the national park to opportunities outside. This 'inside-out' process implies a new approach to area protection and local community participation in Sweden. This is in line with the contemporary Swedish nature conservation strategy based on the principle of sustainability, which takes account of both ecological and socioeconomic development in a district.

The transfer of electrons to organochlorines via reductive dehalogenation reactions plays an important role in hydrogen dynamics in impacted systems. We studied the flux of aqueous hydrogen concentrations in methanogenic sediment microcosms prior to and during reductive dehalogenation of a variety of substituted chlorophenols (CP) and tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene, PCE). Mean hydrogen concentrations during reductive dehalogenation of 2,4-CP, 2,3,4-CP, and PCP were 3.6 nM, 4.1 nM, and 0.34 nM, respectively. Sediment microcosms that were not dosed with chlorophenols yet were actively methanogenic maintained a significantly higher mean hydrogen concentration of 9.8 nM. During active PCE dehalogenation, sediment microcosms maintained a mean hydrogen concentration of 0.82 nM. These data indicate that during limiting hydrogen production, the threshold ecosystem hydrogen concentration is controlled by microbial populations that couple hydrogen oxidation to thermodynamically favorable electron accepting reactions, including reductive dehalogenation of chloroaromatic and chloroaliphatic compounds. We also present revised estimates for the Gibbs free energy available from the reductive dehalogenation of a variety of substituted chlorophenols based on recently published values of vapor pressure, solubility, and pK sub(a) for these compounds.

In contrast, biological invasions are occurring daily in the US and have significant impacts on human health, agriculture, infrastructure, and the environment, yet they receive far less attention and fewer resources. Scientists and the US government must work together to implement a comprehensive approach to biosecurity that addresses not only bioterrorism, but also the more common incursions of invasive alien species. This approach should also address the potential for the deliberate use of invasive alien species as agents of bioterrorism. To achieve these goals, it will be necessary for the relevant government institutions to acknowledge and include prevention, early detection, and rapid response to species incursions as central mission themes. In addition, the scientific community, industry, and the public must work together to ensure that the necessary technology and information systems are readily available.

We analyzed additional adipose and serum samples collected in the late 1990s from San Francisco Bay Area women participating in a breast cancer study and in a reproductive study, respectively. Adipose samples (n = 32) were analyzed by low-resolution mass spectrometry in negative-ion chemical ionization mode, whereas serum samples (n = 50) were analyzed by dual-column gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The results confirmed our earlier findings. Concentrations of 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) in contemporary California women ranged between 5 and 510 ng/g lipid, with a median (16.5 ng/g lipid) 3-10 times higher than those reported from Europe. In contrast, PBDEs were not measurable in any of 420 archived serum samples collected in the 1960s from San Francisco Bay Area women participating in a study of child development. BDE-47 concentrations did not increase with age or with concentrations of a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB-153), suggesting other routes of exposure in addition to diet. Rising body burdens of endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as PBDEs may pose a potential public health threat.

A complicating factor receiving increasing attention is that arsenic is biomethylated to form various metabolites. Eleven different arsenicals were studied for in vitro genotoxicity to supercoiled DNA (pBR 322 and phi X174). Five arsenicals showed various degrees of positivity-monomethylarsonous acid, dimethylarsinous acid, monomethylarsine, dimethylarsine, and trimethylarsine. Supercoiled DNA, blotted on nitrocellulose filter paper, was exposed to gaseous arsines by suspending the filter paper above aqueous reaction mixtures of sodium borohydride and an appropriate arsenical. All three methylated arsines damaged DNA; inorganic arsine did not. Arsines were generated in situ in reaction mixtures containing DNA by reaction of sodium borohydride with arsenite, monomethylarsonous acid, dimethylarsinous acid, and trimethylarsine oxide, at pH 8.0. Both dimethylarsine and trimethylarsine (generated from 200 mu M dimethylarsinous acid and trimethylarsine oxide, respectively) damaged DNA in less than 30 min. Under certain conditions, the two most potent genotoxic arsines, trimethylarsine and dimethylarsine, are about 100 times more potent than dimethylarsinous acid (the most potent genotoxic arsenical previously known). There was no evidence to suggest that anything other than the arsines caused the DNA damage. Possible models for the biological production of arsines were examined. The coenzymes, NADH and NADPH, are biological hydride donors. When NADH or NADPH (5 mM) were incubated with dimethylarsinous acid (0-2 mM) for 2 h, DNA damage was increased by at least 10-fold. A possible explanation for this result is that these compounds react with dimethylarsinous acid to generate dimethylarsine. DNA was incubated with a dithiol compound, dithioerythritol (5 mM), and trimethylarsine oxide (0.5 mM) for 2 h, and the reduction of trimethylarsine oxide to trimethylarsine resulted in DNA damage.

To understand how this species might respond to changing environments, we examine the relationship between two hydrologic variables and growth of three stands of P. elliottii var. densa occurring along a hydrologic gradient using tree-ring records. The two variables were a short-term indicator of water status, precipitation minus potential evapotranspiration (P-PET), and a long-term indicator of water status, runoff (R). Growth at all sites was positively correlated to current growing season P-PET and R, and strongly, negatively correlated with previous winter R. The positive correlation with spring R was greater in the site with the deepest water table than in sites with shallower water tables. We discuss the potential for root dynamics to explain the relationships between growth and R.

Two recycling strategies adopted before and after 1998 were compared because of changes in the management of recycling funds, the performance of sanitation workers, and the auditing system. The overall volumes of all recycled materials and the amount of selected items recycled such as disposed PET bottles were compared. In the five years from 1997 to 2002, the materials collected for recycle by sanitation teams increased from 106.2 thousand tons per year to 878.3 thousand tons. This meant that the nationwide recycling rate had increased from 2.56% to 15.48%, respectively. During the periods of 1988-1997, the average amount of solid waste in Taiwan increased 4.5% annually. On the other hand, from 1998 to 2002, the average amount of solid waste decreased 5.9% annually. The amount of various specific recycled materials increased from 1.71 times to 10.77 times in five years. The resource recycling system based on monetary incentives incorporating a command-and-control strategy can raise the recycling rate significantly.

The influences of alkalinity, Cl super(-), and different concentrations of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and fulvic acid (FA) on the labile concentration and toxicity of Cu were investigated in reconstituted water and natural water. The results showed that Cl super(-) and alkalinity did not affect labile Cu concentration, but decreased the toxicity of Cu to S. obliquus in the Cu concentration range observed in fresh water. The influences of alkalinity and Cl super(-) could be modeled if Cu-carbonate complexes and Cu-chloride complexes were considered as non-toxic species. Organic complexes of Cu with EDTA and FA did not contribute either to the labile concentration of Cu or to the toxicity of Cu on S. oblignus. The growth inhibition of Cu on S. oblignus in natural water could be predicted by using the bioavailable concentration of Cu, or [Cu], which could be calculated from the labile Cu concentration using the DAM-DPASV method and the concentrations of Cu-carbonate and Cu-chloride complexes obtained from the MINTEQ A2 model.

In this effort, based on continuity of mass flux, we derive a mass flux boundary condition of the third type in terms of physically based mass transfer rate coefficients, describing the resistance to mass inflow of the soil-air interface, and obtain one-dimensional analytical solutions for transport and degradation of volatile organic compounds in semi-infinite structured soils under steady, unsaturated flow conditions. The advective- dispersive mass balance formulation allows for mobile-immobile liquid phase and vapor diffusive mass transfer, with linear equilibrium adsorption and liquid- vapor phase partitioning in the dynamic and stagnant soil regions. The mass transfer rate coefficients of volatile organic chemicals across the soil-air interface are expressed in terms of solute properties and hydrodynamic characteristics of resistive soil and air-boundary layers. The solutions estimate solute vapor flux from soil surface and describe mobile-phase solute concentration as a function of depth in the soil and time. In particular, solutions were derived for: (1) zero-initial concentration in the soil profile subject to a continuous and pulsed source at the soil surface; and (2) depletion from the soil following an initially contaminated soil profile. Sensitivity analysis with respect to different dimensionless parameters is conducted and the effect on solute concentration and vapor flux of such parameters as volatilization mass transfer velocity relative to infiltration, soil Peclet number, biochemical decay, and diffusive mass transfer into the immobile phase, is plotted and the results are discussed. The mass transfer rate coefficients and the analytical solutions are applied to simulate transport of an example volatile organic compound in an aggregated soil. The simulated results indicate that macropore-aggregate vapor phase diffusion may profoundly impact transport of volatile compounds in aggregated soils.

The water quality target of the TMDL was determined by the state to be the chlorophyll-a concentrations in the estuary. EPA Region 4 partnered with the State of North Carolina to provide technical assistance and guidance for nutrient TMDL development in the Neuse River Estuary. The goal was the development of hydrodynamic and water quality models that are sufficient to simulate the complex circulation and water quality kinetics within the system, including salinity and temperature stratification, wind driven seiching, dissolved oxygen stratification, and longitudinal and lateral variations in nutrient and chlorophyll-a concentrations. A three-dimensional, hydrodynamic, and water quality model was developed in the estuary from Maw Point at the Pamlico Sound boundary, to upstream at Streets Ferry Bridge above New Bern, North Carolina. The complex three-dimensional hydrodynamics of the Neuse estuary were modeled using the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC). EFDC was applied with water surface elevation forcing at the downstream boundary, freshwater inflows at the upstream boundaries, and wind over the water surface of the modeled domain. Water surface elevation, flows, currents, salinity, and temperature were simulated using EFDC. The U.S. EPA Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP6) was applied for the water quality portion of the model. The eutrophication model of WASP was used to simulate the complex nutrient transport and cycling in the estuary. The purpose of the water quality model is to predict a response in chlorophyll-a and dissolved oxygen concentrations as a function of nutrient loadings and transport throughout the Neuse River Estuary. The model was used to evaluate various loading scenarios and the impact on water quality within the "use support" areas within the 303(d) listed segments. The hydrodynamic and water quality models were calibrated for 1998 and confirmed for 1999 and 2000. A comparison of the model simulations with the extensive dataset shows that the models are accurately simulating the longitudinal/seasonal distribution of the hydrodynamics, mass transport, and water quality. The water quality model was used to evaluate TMDL scenarios.

AN - 73565768; 12927729 AB - Factors influencing dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) removal by concurrent injection of cosolvent and air were evaluated using micromodels and visualization techniques. Cosolvent (ethanol/water) was injected simultaneously with air into glass micromodels containing residual perchloroethylene (PCE). Impacts of the air flow rates and PCE solubility in the remedial fluid on PCE removal processes were examined. Although two major processes, immiscible displacement and dissolution, may contribute PCE removal from porous media during cosolvent-air (CA) flooding, PCE displacement occurred only in the initial flooding period and was independent of the air flow rate and ethanol content. However, faster airflow through the porous medium improved remedial fluid distribution and dynamics and resulted in enhanced dissolution of the DNAPL.

AN - 73460214; 12851231 AB - The authors examined influences of asthma and household environment (passive smoking, use of a gas stove, and having a dog or cat) on five measures of spirometric lung function among 8- to 16-year-old subjects, as measured cross-sectionally in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) (1988-1994). In regression models, independent variables included asthma status, household environmental factors, age, and anthropometric measurements. Regression analyses were weighted by the NHANES III examination sample weighting factor, and results were adjusted for clustering in the sampling design. There were distinct sex differences in the results. In girls, lung function was lowest among active asthmatics taking prescription respiratory medicine, whereas lung function in other active and inactive asthmatics did not differ greatly from that in nonasthmatics. In boys, however, all groups of asthmatics had substantially lower lung function than nonasthmatics. Differences in lung function between active asthmatics and nonasthmatics were stable with increasing age. However, the lung function of inactive asthmatic girls and boys returned to and diverged from nonasthmatics' levels, respectively. In asthmatic girls, passive smoking was associated with reduced lung function; having a dog or cat was associated with increased lung function; and gas stove use was associated with reduced lung function among subjects not taking prescription respiratory medicine.

The microbial measures included super(3)H-L-leucine incorporation, ectoenzyme activity (aminopeptidase, alpha -D-glucosidase, beta -D-glucosidase) and bacterial abundance. Bacterioplankton abundance ranged from 1.8 to 15.3 x 10 super(9) l super(-1) (average: 6.2 x 10 super(6)); highest abundances occurred during summer months, particularly in the upper estuary. Bacterial secondary production ranged from 20 to 273 mu g C l super(-1) d super(-1) (average 115), aminopeptidase activities ranged from 34 to 356 nmol l super(-1) d super(-1) (average 165), alpha -D-glucosidase ranged from 0.4 to 61 nmol l super(-1) d super(-1) (average: 8.3), and beta -D-glucosidase ranged from 1.4 to 53.1 nmol l super(-1) d super(-1) (average: 10.5). Bacterioplankton exhibited strong seasonality, suggesting that temperature was an important driver of the observed variability. When normalized for bacterial biomass, metabolic rates exhibited a striking inter-annual pattern with lower rates during summer 2000 than 2001. This pattern was consistent with freshwater flows, which were much lower during 2000 than 2001, consequently lowering nutrient and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) supply to the estuary. These results underscore the importance of riverine flux of materials to support bacterial metabolism and suggest that bacterioplankton were substrate-limited during the low flow period. The empirical relationships between bacterioplankton and phytoplankton variables were similar to those found in literature synthesis studies, with the notable exception that bacterial abundances and production were higher than predicted from chlorophyll a concentration. One explanation for this departure is that these relationships are drawn largely from cool temperate environments and warm subtropical systems are underrepresented in the literature.

AN - 73427610; 12834753 AB - Trihalomethanes (THMs) are disinfection by-products and suspected human carcinogens present in chlorinated drinking water. Previous studies have shown that many THMs induce sister chromatid exchanges and DNA strand breaks in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro. Exposure to THMs occurs through oral, dermal, or inhalation routes, with the lung being a target of exposure by the latter route, although not a target for rodent carcinogenicity. Thus, to examine the genotoxicity of THMs in this tissue, we used the comet assay to examine the DNA damaging ability of five THMs in primary human lung epithelial cells. Cells were collected by scraping the large airways of four volunteers with a cytology brush and then passaging the cells no more than three times in order to have sufficient numbers for the experiments. Cells were exposed for 3h to 10, 100, or 1000 microM CHCl(3), CHCl(2)Br, CHClBr(2), or CHBr(3); CH(2)Cl(2) was also used as a model dihalomethane for comparison to the THMs. The compounds ranked as follows for DNA damaging ability: CHCl(2)Br>CHBr(3)>CHCl(3) approximately equal CH(2)Cl(2); CHClBr(2) was negative. Considerable inter-individual variation was observed. For example, CHCl(3) was genotoxic in only two subjects, and the interaction between dose and donor was highly significant (P<0.001). The same variation was observed for CHCl(2)Br, which was positive only in the two subjects in which CHCl(3) was negative. This variation was not due to the GSTT1-1 genotype of the subjects. Although two subjects were GSTT1-1(+), and two were GSTT1-1(-), no cultured cells with a GSTT1-1(+) genotype had detectable GSTT1-1 enzymatic activity nor did any frozen epithelial cells that had not been cultured. However, GSTT1-1 enzymatic activity was detected in fresh (neither frozen nor cultured) lung cells. These results show that freezing or culturing causes lung cells to lose GSTT1-1 activity and that factors other than GSTT1-1 activity play a role in the variable responses of these human cells to the genotoxicity of the halomethanes studied here.

AN - 73595724; 12931889 AB - This study was conducted to determine the extent of Pb absorption into young rats (Rattus norvegicus var. Sprague-Dawley) fed untreated Pb-contaminated soil or Pb-contaminated soil treated with two different sources of P and P + Mn oxide. Data were compared from an in vitro, physiologically based extraction test (PBET) with the animal data to support the validity of the in vitro test to assess bioavailable Pb from a treated Pb-contaminated soil. Soil with a total Pb concentration of 2290 mg kg(-1) was used. Rats were fed 19 different test diets for 21 consecutive days. The test diets represented 95 g AIN93G rat meal kg(-1) diet with varying proportions of silica sand or soil to provide low, medium, or high doses of Pb from either Pb acetate, treated, or untreated soil. Blood, liver, kidney, and bone Pb concentrations were examined. For all four tissues, Pb concentrations for the Pb acetate groups were significantly higher than concentrations for all the soil groups. In general, either triple superphosphate (TSP) or phosphate rock (PR) treatments resulted in significant reductions in tissue Pb concentrations compared with untreated soil. Blood and kidney Pb concentrations for the PR + Mn oxide group were significantly lower than those of the PR group at the low and high doses. Relative bioavailability of Pb, as measured in all tissues, was significantly reduced when comparing untreated with amended soil. Correlation between the in vitro and in vivo tests, based on bone and liver tissue, showed that the in vitro test is successful at predicting Pb bioavailability.

AN - 73585367; 12923556 AB - This paper tests factors thought to be important in explaining the choices people make in where they spend time. Three aggregate locations are analyzed: outdoors, indoors, and in-vehicles for two different sample groups: a year-long (longitudinal) sample of one individual and a cross-sectional sample of 169 individuals from the US Environmental Protection Agency's Consolidated Human Activity Database (CHAD). The cross-sectional sample consists of persons similar to the longitudinal subject in terms of age, work status, education, and residential type. The sample groups are remarkably similar in the time spent per day in the tested locations, although there are differences in participation rates: the percentage of days frequenting a particular location. Time spent outdoors exhibits the most relative variability of any location tested, with in-vehicle time being the next. The factors found to be most important in explaining daily time usage in both sample groups are: season of the year, season/temperature combinations, precipitation levels, and day-type (work/nonwork is the most distinct, but weekday/weekend is also significant). Season, season/temperature, and day-type are also important for explaining time spent indoors. None of the variables tested are consistent in explaining in-vehicle time in either the cross-sectional or longitudinal samples. Given these findings, we recommend that exposure modelers subdivide their population activity data into at least season/temperature, precipitation, and day-type "cohorts" as these factors are important discriminating variables affecting where people spend their time.

AN - 73534802; 12908862 AB - A prior case-control study found a positive, monotonic exposure-response relationship between exposure to diesel exhaust and lung cancer among decedents of the Central States Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. In response to critiques of the Teamsters' exposure estimates by the Health Effects Institute's Diesel Epidemiology Panel, historical exposures and associated uncertainties are investigated here. Historic diesel exhaust exposures are predicted as a function of heavy-duty diesel truck emissions, increasing use of diesel engines, and occupational elemental carbon (EC) measurements taken during the late 1980s and early 1990s. EC from diesel and nondiesel sources is distinguished in light of recent studies indicating a substantial contribution of gasoline vehicles to ambient EC. Monte Carlo sampling is used to characterize exposure distributions. The methodology used in this article-a probabilistic model for historical exposure assessment-is novel.

AN - 73501248; 12873012 AB - Geochemical and microbiological factors that control long-term performance of subsurface permeable reactive barriers were evaluated at the Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and the Denver Federal Center, Colorado, sites. These ground water treatment systems use zero-valent iron filings (Peerless Metal Powders Inc.) to intercept and remediate chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds at the Denver Federal Center (funnel-and-gate system) and overlapping plumes of hexavalent chromium and chlorinated hydrocarbons at Elizabeth City (continuous wall system). Zero-valent iron at both sites is a long-term sink for carbon, sulfur, calcium, silicon, nitrogen, and magnesium. After about four years of operation, the average rates of inorganic carbon (IC) and sulfur (S) accumulation are 0.09 and 0.02 kg/m2/year, respectively, at Elizabeth City where upgradient waters contain <400 mg/L of total dissolved solids (TDS). At the Denver Federal Center site, upgradient ground water contains 1000 to 1200 mg/L TDS and rates of IC and S accumulation are as high as 2.16 and 0.80 kg/m2/year, respectively. At both sites, consistent patterns of spatially variable mineral precipitation and microbial activity are observed. Mineral precipitates and microbial biomass accumulate the fastest near the upgradient aquifer-Fe0 interface. Maximum net reductions in porosity due to the accumulation of sulfur and inorganic carbon precipitates range from 0.032 at Elizabeth City to 0.062 at the Denver Federal Center (gate 2) after about four years. Although pore space has been lost due the accumulation of authigenic components, neither site shows evidence of pervasive pore clogging after four years of operation.

AN - 73495683; 12874868 AB - Measurements for determining of the path of groundwater migration remain an important tool in the overall assessment of environmental processes and transport of pollutants. This paper examines a multiwavelength laser for the determination of eosin, a groundwater tracer, using capillary electrophoresis/laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) at excitation wavelength 514.5 nm. Eosin was one of four dyes used in a study of adjacent resource conservation and recovery act (RCRA) and Superfund sites (created by the comprehensive environmental response, compensation, and liability act) that routinely relied on spectrofluorimetry for determination as we have previously reported. However, the improved specificity of CE-LIF is further illustrated in this work applied to the analysis of adsorbent pads placed in monitoring wells after dye injection and flushing from injection wells. The multiwavelength laser provided the capability to analyze for several dyes with one laser. The advantages/disadvantages of CE-LIF versus spectrofluorimetry are discussed. Spectrofluorimetry is fast and sensitive and will likely continue to be the primary workhorse technique. CE-LIF could provide confirmation when greater specificity is needed in a regulatory context.

AN - 73461025; 12842770 AB - Following our first report on elevated polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) concentrations in California women, we expanded our investigation to include diverse groups of local women. We analyzed additional adipose and serum samples collected in the late 1990s from San Francisco Bay Area women participating in a breast cancer study and in a reproductive study, respectively. Adipose samples (n = 32) were analyzed by low-resolution mass spectrometry in negative-ion chemical ionization mode, whereas serum samples (n = 50) were analyzed by dual-column gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The results confirmed our earlier findings. Concentrations of 2,2,4,4 -tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) in contemporary California women ranged between 5 and 510 ng/g lipid, with a median (16.5 ng/g lipid) 3-10 times higher than those reported from Europe. In contrast, PBDEs were not measurable in any of 420 archived serum samples collected in the 1960s from San Francisco Bay Area women participating in a study of child development. BDE-47 concentrations did not increase with age or with concentrations of a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB-153), suggesting other routes of exposure in addition to diet. Rising body burdens of endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as PBDEs may pose a potential public health threat.

AN - 73453413; 12759813 AB - Stable isotopes are increasingly being used as tracers in environmental studies. One application is to use isotopic ratios to quantitatively determine the proportional contribution of several sources to a mixture, such as the proportion of various pollution sources in a waste stream. In general, the proportional contributions of n+1 different sources can be uniquely determined by the use of n different isotope system tracers (e.g., delta13C, delta15N, delta18O) with linear mixing models based on mass balance equations. Often, however, the number of potential sources exceeds n+1, which prevents finding a unique solution of source proportions. What can be done in these situations? While no definitive solution exists, we propose a method that is informative in determining bounds for the contributions of each source. In this method, all possible combinations of each source contribution (0-100%) are examined in small increments (e.g., 1%). Combinations that sum to the observed mixture isotopic signatures within a small tolerance (e.g., +/-0.1 per thousand ) are considered to be feasible solutions, from which the frequency and range of potential source contributions can be determined. To avoid misrepresenting the results, users of this procedure should report the distribution of feasible solutions rather than focusing on a single value such as the mean. We applied this method to a variety of environmental studies in which stable isotope tracers were used to quantify the relative magnitude of multiple sources, including (1) plant water use, (2) geochemistry, (3) air pollution, and (4) dietary analysis. This method gives the range of isotopically determined source contributions; additional non-isotopic constraints specific to each study may be used to further restrict this range. The breadth of the isotopically determined ranges depends on the geometry of the mixing space and the similarity of source and mixture isotopic signatures. A sensitivity analysis indicated that the estimated ranges vary only modestly with different choices of source increment and mass balance tolerance parameter values. A computer program (IsoSource) to perform these calculations for user-specified data is available at http://www.epa.gov/wed/pages/models.htm.

AN - 73446917; 12842783 AB - Chlorophenoxy herbicides are widely used in the United States and Western Europe for broadleaf weed control in grain farming and park maintenance. Most of the spring and durum wheat produced in the United States is grown in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, with more than 85% of the acreage treated with chlorophenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA). Rates of adverse birth outcomes in rural, agricultural counties of these states during 1995-1997 were studied by comparing counties with a high proportion of wheat acreage and those with a lower proportion. Information routinely collected and made available by federal agencies was used for this ecologic study. Significant increases in birth malformations were observed for the circulatory/respiratory category for combined sexes [odds ratio (OR) = 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-2.55]. A stronger effect was observed for the subcategory, which excluded heart malformations (OR = 2.03; 95% CI, 1.14-3.59). In addition, infants conceived during April-June--the time of herbicide application--had an increased chance of being diagnosed with circulatory/respiratory (excluding heart) malformations compared with births conceived during other months of the year (OR = 1.75; 95% CI, 1.09-2.80). Musculoskeletal/integumental anomalies increased for combined sexes in the high-wheat counties (OR = 1.50; 95% CI, 1.06-2.12). Infant death from congenital anomalies significantly increased in high-wheat counties for males (OR = 2.66; 95% CI, 1.52-4.65) but not for females (OR = 0.48; 95% CI, 0.20-1.15). These results are especially of concern because of widespread use of chlorophenoxy herbicides.

AN - 73436170; 12842784 AB - Inner-city children have high rates of asthma. Exposures to particles, including allergens, may cause or exacerbate asthma symptoms. As part of an epidemiologic study of inner-city children with asthma, continuous (10-min average) measurements of particle concentrations were made for 2-week periods in 294 homes drawn from seven cities. Measurements were made using an optical scattering device that is most sensitive to fine particles. The concentrations recorded by these devices were corrected to agree with colocated outdoor gravimetric PM2.5 monitors. Indoor concentrations in the homes averaged 27.7 (standard deviation = 35.9) micro g/m3, compared with concurrent outdoor concentrations of 13.6 (7.5) micro g/m3. A multivariate model indicated that outdoor particles penetrated indoors with an efficiency of 0.48 and were therefore responsible for only 25% of the mean indoor concentration. The major indoor source was smoking, which elevated indoor concentrations by 37 micro g/m3 in the 101 homes with smokers. Other significant sources included frying, smoky cooking events, use of incense, and apartment housing, although the increases due to these events ranged only from 3 to 6 micro g/m3. The 10-min averaging time allowed calculation of an average diurnal variation, showing large increases in the evening due to smoking and smaller increases at meal times due to cooking. Most of the observed variance in indoor concentrations was day to day, with roughly similar contributions to the variance from visit to visit and home to home within a city and only a small contribution made by variance among cities. The small variation among cities and the similarity across cities of the observed indoor air particle distributions suggest that sources of indoor concentrations do not vary considerably from one city to the next, and thus that simple models can predict indoor air concentrations in cities having only outdoor measurements.

AN - 73359132; 12798965 AB - Strain differences represent an overlooked variable that may play an important role in neurotoxic outcomes that can impact regulatory decision making. Here, we examined the strain-dependent effects of trimethyltin (TMT), a compound used as a positive control for behavioral and neurochemical assessments of neurotoxicity. Adult male Long-Evans (LE) and Fischer 344 (F344) rats (n=12 each) were trained to respond under a multiple, fixed-interval 3-min fixed-ratio 10-response (multi FI 3-min FR10) schedule of milk reinforcement. Acquisition was characterized by time-dependent changes in several behavioral endpoints in both strains, although rate of acquisition of the fixed-interval pattern of responding was slower in F344 rats. Steady-state (baseline) performance was characterized by slower overall rates of responding in F344 rats. There was little evidence of strain differences in many of the other baseline performance measures. Rats of each strain were then divided into two equal groups that received either 1 ml/kg saline or 8.0 mg/kg iv TMT approximately 18 h before the next test session. TMT produced transient changes in the performance of LE and F344 rats that lasted for several sessions. For many behavioral measures, F344 rats were more affected by TMT than were LE rats. TMT-induced reactive gliosis, as assessed by assaying glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), was also greater in F344 rats than in LE rats. These results suggest F344 rats may be more susceptible to TMT-induced neurotoxicity than are LE rats.

Appropriately, numerous pharmacologic drugs and clinical protocols for the treatment and prophylaxis of the disease have been reported. From a scientific perspective, a review of the literature suggests that the targeted delivery of an aerosol would, in a real sense, enhance the efficacy of an inhaled medicine. Therefore, in accordance with published data we have developed a mathematical description of disease-induced effects of disease on airway morphology. A morphological algorithm defining the heterogeneity of asthma has been integrated with a computer code that formulates the behavior and fate of inhaled drugs. In this work, predicted drug particle deposition patterns have been compared with SPECT images from experiments with healthy human subjects (controls) and asthmatic patients. The asthma drug delivery model simulations agree with observations from human testing. The results indicate that in silico modeling provides a technical foundation for addressing effects of disease on the administration of aerosolized drugs, and suggest that modeling should be used in a complementary manner with future inhalation therapy protocols.

Government conservation agencies provided the majority of funds, with 25 percent coming from the voluntary conservation sector and about 14 percent from the business sector and government agencies whose primary mission is not conservation. Taxa that are taxonomically distinct received more funds than would be expected by an even distribution, but nevertheless substantial funds were allocated even to Australian populations of taxa that are not threatened globally. The status of most taxa did not change during the study period, but those that did improve generally received more funds than those taxa that declined. Overall, funds provided to support Australian threatened birds have been used effectively, but more is required to secure all taxa, and investment in threatened species will have to continue well into the future.

In response to critiques of the Teamsters' exposure estimates by the Health Effects Institute's Diesel Epidemiology Panel, historical exposures and associated uncertainties are investigated here. Historic diesel exhaust exposures are predicted as a function of heavy-duty diesel truck emissions, increasing use of diesel engines, and occupational elemental carbon (EC) measurements taken during the late 1980s and early 1990s. EC from diesel and nondiesel sources is distinguished in light of recent studies indicating a substantial contribution of gasoline vehicles to ambient EC. Monte Carlo sampling is used to characterize exposure distributions. The methodology used in this article--a probabilistic model for historical exposure assessment--is novel.

Plants subjected to 92% light reduction showed the most pronounced effects in chlorophyll a concentration, above- and below-ground biomass, and leaf dimensions. These results further suggested that the V. americana life cycle, as exhibited in temperate waters, was impaired. Heterotrophic bacteria were enumerated and identified (i) from the roots and sediments of fully illuminated plants and from unvegetated sediments at three intervals and (ii) from the roots of plants that have been subjected to 92% light reduction for 3 months. Up to two orders of magnitude greater numbers of bacteria were enumerated from root samples than sediment samples on a dry weight basis. Bacteria enumerated from the roots of plants subjected to light reduction (1.3+/-1.1x10 super(8) CFU g super(-1)) were significantly higher than numbers of bacteria enumerated from the roots of fully illuminated plants (4.8+/- 1.8x10 super(7) g super(-1) in the summer) or sediment samples (1.4+/-0.03x10 super(6) g super(- 1)). This suggests the roots of seagrasses stressed by light reduction provided more nutrients for bacterial growth. Higher percentages of Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from roots (up to 85% in the fall) than sediments (0- 15%). Examination of isolates for traits characteristic of rhizosphere bacteria (siderophore production, formation of the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid, and antifungal activity) did not show a clear distinction between root-associated and sediment isolates. Taxonomic identifications of root-associated bacteria based on MIDI analysis of fatty acid methyl esters were consistent with bacteria known to be associated with other plants or found at oxic-anoxic interfaces. In addition, the bacterial identifications showed most species were associated with only roots or only sediments. These results support studies suggesting seagrass rhizospheres harbor distinct bacterial communities.

Franco seedlings were determined. The seedlings were grown in sun-lit controlled-environment chambers that contained a native soil. Chambers were controlled to reproduce ambient or ambient +180 ppm CO sub(2) and either ambient temperature or ambient +3.5 degree C for 4 years. There were no significant CO sub(2) x temperature interactions; consequently the data are presented for the CO sub(2) and temperature effects. At the final harvest, elevated CO sub(2) decreased the nonpolar fraction of the PCC and increased the polar fraction and amount of sugars in the needles. In contrast, elevated temperature increased the nonpolar fraction of the PCC and decreased sugars in needles. There were no CO sub(2) or temperature effects on the PCC fractions in the woody tissue or root tissue. Elevated CO sub(2) and temperature had no significant effects on the C content of any of the plant tissues or fractions. In contrast, the foliar N content declined under elevated CO sub(2) and increased under elevated temperature; there were no significant effects in other tissues. The changes in the foliar N concentrations were in the cellulose and lignin fractions, the fractions, which contain protein, and are the consequences of changes in N allocation under the treatments. These results indicate reallocation of N among plant organs to optimize C assimilation, which is mediated via changes in the selectivity of Rubisco and carbohydrate modulation of gene expression.

Constant solid:solution isotherms were constructed from batch sorption experiments and sorption kinetics assessed at pH 7. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) was employed to elucidate the solid-state speciation of sorbed As. At all pH values studied (pH 4-8), RuO sub(2) times xH sub(2)O showed a high affinity for As regardless of the initial As species present. Sorption was higher at all pH values when the initial As species was As(III). Oxidation of As(III) (250 mg/L solution) to As(V) was virtually complete (98-100%) within 5 s. XANES results showed the presence of only As(V) on the RuO sub(2) times xH sub(2)O regardless of the initial As oxidation state. There was no change in the As oxidation state on the solid phase for 4 weeks in both oxic and anoxic environments. It is speculated that changes in the RuO sub(2) times xH sub(2)O structure, due to oxidation reactions, caused the higher total As sorption capacity when As(III) was the initial species. The As sorption capacity of RuO sub(2) times xH sub(2)O is greater than that of other metal oxides reviewed in this study. The ability of RuO sub(2) times xH sub(2)O to rapidly oxidize As(III) is much greater than other oxides, such as MnO sub(2).

Ambient PM reductions coincided with closure of an open-hearth steel mill, the major industrial source of particulate emissions in the valley. In this report, water extracts of PM filters from steel mill operational (UE-86, UE-88) and closure (UE-87) periods were analyzed for their elemental composition. Their relative toxicity was determined by exposing primary rodent airway epithelial cultures to equal masses of extracted material. To elucidate extract subcomponents mediating the effects observed, cells were also exposed to surrogate metal mixtures. Potential interactions between the two predominant metals in the UE-86/88 samples, zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu), were further investigated. Data indicated that, relative to the UE-87 (plant closed) sample, UE-86/88 samples contained more sulfate, calcium, potassium, magnesium and, although present in much lower amounts, a variety of metals including Zn, Cu, iron, lead, strontium, nickel, manganese, and vanadium (V). Cell exposure to UE-86 and UE-88, but not UE-87, resulted in time- and concentration-dependent epithelial injury based on biochemical and light/electron microscopic changes. Cell injury induced by metal mixtures containing equivalent amounts of Zn + Cu + V was commensurate with that induced by the corresponding extract, although divergent antioxidant responses were observed. Exposure to Zn + Cu resulted in significantly greater epithelial toxicity and stress (c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase activation) responses than did exposure to Zn or Cu individually. The parallel epithelial injury induced by the extracts and their surrogate Zn + Cu + V mixtures suggests that these metals are mediating the acute airway epithelial effects observed; however, metal interactions appear to play a critical role in the overall cellular effects induced by the PM-derived extracts. These experimental findings are in good accord with epidemiologic reports of adverse airway and respiratory health effects in Utah Valley residents.

Specifically, we derive an expression for Fisher Information based on sampling of the system trajectory as it evolves in the space defined by the state variables of the system, i.e. its state space. The Fisher Information index, as we have derived it, is a measure of system order, and captures the characteristic variation in speed and acceleration along the system's periodic steady-state trajectories. When calculated repeatedly over the system period, this index tracks steady states and transient behavior. We believe that such an index could be useful in detecting 'system flips' associated with a regime change, i.e. determining when systems are in a transient between one steady state and another. We illustrate the concepts using model ecosystems.

AN - 73401974; 12854726 AB - Pretreatment zones (PTZs) composed of sand, 10% zero-valent iron [Fe(0)]/sand, and 10% pyrite (FeS2)/sand were examined for their ability to prolong Fe(0) reactivity in above ground column reactors and a subsurface permeable reactive barrier (PRB). The test site had an acidic, oxic aquifer contaminated with tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE). The 10% FeS2 and 10% Fe(0) PTZs removed dissolved oxygen and affected the pH and E(h) in the PTZ. None of the PTZs had any effect on pH or E(h) in the 100% Fe(0) zone. Nitrate and sulfate were removed more quickly in the Fe(0) zones preceded by either the 10% Fe(0) PTZ or 10% FeS2. PCE first-order degradation rate constants (k(obs)) decreased significantly (> 80%) with increasing column pore volumes regardless of the PTZ material used. k(obs) finally leveled off after approximately 1 yr of operation. The column results predict that the PRB will experience a breakthrough of PCE in 3-5 yr and illustrate the importance of incorporating temporal variations in degradation rate constants when designing PRBs.

AN - 73418718; 12894753 AB - Adsorption and release of perchlorate in a variety of soils, minerals, and other media were studied when the solid media were exposed to low and high aqueous solutions of perchlorate salts. Low level ClO4- exposure was investigated by subjecting triplicate 5.0 g portions of a solid medium (38 different soils, minerals, or dusts) to 25 mL of an aqueous ammonium perchlorate (NH4ClO4) solution containing 670 ng mL(-1) (6.8 microM) perchlorate. This corresponds to a perchlorate-to-soil ratio of 3.4 microg g(-1) (34 nmol g(-1)). At this level of exposure, more than 90% of the perchlorate was recovered in the aqueous phase, as determined by ion chromatography. In some cases, more than 99% of the perchlorate remained in the aqueous phase. In some cases, the apparent loss of aqueous perchlorate was not clearly distinguishable from the variation due to experimental error. The forced perchlorate anion exchange capacities (PAECs) were studied by soaking triplicate 5.0 g portions of the solid media in 250 mL of 0.20 M sodium perchlorate (NaClO4) followed by repeated deionized water rinses (overnight soaks with mixing) until perchlorate concentrations fell below 20 ng mL(-1) in the rinse solutions. The dried residua were leached with 15.0 mL of 0.10 M sodium hydroxide. The leachates were analyzed by ion chromatography and the perchlorate concentrations thus found were subsequently used to calculate the PAECs. The measurable PAECs of the insoluble and settleable residua ranged from 4 to 150 nmol g(-1) (micromol kg(-1)), with most in the 20-50 nmol g(-1) range. In some soils or minerals, no sorption was detectable. The mineral bentonite was problematic, however. Overall, the findings support the widely accepted idea that perchlorate does not appreciably sorb to soils and that its mobility and fate are largely influenced by hydrologic and biologic factors. They also generally support the idea that intrasoil perchlorate content is depositional rather than sorptive. On the other hand, sorption (anion replacement) of perchlorate appears to occur in some soils. Therefore, the measurement of perchlorate in soils requires accounting for ion exchange phenomena; leaching with water alone may give inaccurate results. If perchlorate anion exchange is confirmed to be negligible, then leaching procedures may be simplified accordingly.

A systematic review and meta-analysis. AN - 73407611; 12826481 AB - Despite numerous studies, uncertainty remains about how water quality indicators can best be used in the regulation of recreational water. We conducted a systematic review of this topic with the goal of quantifying the association between microbial indicators of recreational water quality and gastrointestinal (GI) illness. A secondary goal was to evaluate the potential for GI illness below current guidelines. We screened 976 potentially relevant studies and from these identified 27 studies. From the latter, we determined summary relative risks for GI illness in relation to water quality indicator density. Our results support the use of enterococci in marine water at U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guideline levels. In fresh water, (Italic)Escherichia(/Italic) coli was a more consistent predictor of GI illness than are enterococci and other bacterial indicators. A log (base 10) unit increase in enterococci was associated with a 1.34 [95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.00-1.75] increase in relative risk in marine waters, and a log (base 10) unit increase in E. coli was associated with a 2.12 (95% CI, 0.925-4.85) increase in relative risk in fresh water. Indicators of viral contamination were strong predictors of GI illness in both fresh and marine environments. Significant heterogeneity was noted among the studies. In our analysis of heterogeneity, studies that used a nonswimming control group, studies that focused on children, and studies of athletic or other recreational events found elevated relative risks. Future studies should focus on the ability of new, more rapid and specific microbial methods to predict health effects, and estimating the risks of recreational water exposure among susceptible persons.

AN - 73376803; 12807254 AB - Using a probabilistic survey design, we assessed the ecological condition of the Florida (U.S.A.) portion of the Escambia River watershed using selected environmental and benthic macroinvertebrate data. Macroinvertebrates were sampled at 28 sites during July-August 1996, and 3414 individuals were identified. Taxonomic data were distilled into the 8 m of the Stream Condition Index (SCI), developed specifically for Florida waterways, and sites were classified on an ordinal scale as very good, good, poor, and very poor. The weighted cumulative distribution function of the SCI showed that 8% (+/- 7) of the stream and river miles in this landscape were in very good condition, while 25% (+/- 7), 51% (+/- 16), and 16% (+/- 15) were in good, poor, and very poor condition, respectively. The only environmental parameter significantly correlated with SCI was dissolved oxygen (DO), and two sites classified as very poor had oxygen levels around or below 2 mg L(-1). However, other sites exhibited similarly low SCI values without the attendant low DO, implying that factors determining site condition were complex and multivariate. The results of this survey corroborate Federal and state assessments demonstrating that many locations within this watershed exhibit significant degradation.

AN - 73374121; 12782496 AB - Previous research shows poorer birth outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities and for persons with low socioeconomic status (SES). We evaluated whether mothers in groups at higher risk for poor birth outcomes live in areas of higher air pollution and whether higher exposure to air pollution contributes to poor birth outcomes. An index representing long-term exposure to criteria air pollutants was matched with birth certificate data at the county level for the United States in 1998-1999. We used linear regression to estimate associations between the air pollution index and maternal race and educational attainment, a marker for SES of the mother, controlling for age, parity, marital status, and region of the country. Then we used logistic regression models both to estimate likelihood of living in counties with the highest levels of air pollution for different racial groups and by educational attainment, adjusting for other maternal risk factors, and to estimate the effect of living in counties with higher levels of air pollution on preterm delivery and births small for gestational age (SGA). Hispanic, African-American, and Asian/Pacific Islander mothers experienced higher mean levels of air pollution and were more than twice as likely to live in the most polluted counties compared with white mothers after controlling for maternal risk factors, region, and educational status [Hispanic mothers: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.66; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.92-11.32; African-American mothers: AOR = 2.58; 95% CI, 1.00-6.62; Asian/Pacific Islander mothers: AOR = 2.82; 95% CI, 1.07-7.39]. Educational attainment was not associated with living in counties with highest levels of the air pollution index (AOR = 0.95; 95% CI, 0.40-2.26) after adjusting for maternal risk factors, region of the country, and race/ethnicity. There was a small increase in the odds of preterm delivery (AOR = 1.05; 95% CI, 0.99-1.12) but not SGA (AOR = 0.96; 95% CI, 0.86-1.07) in a county with high air pollution. Additional risk of residing in areas with poor air quality may exacerbate health problems of infants and children already at increased risk for poor health.

AN - 73371705; 12802211 AB - The goal of this research was to develop a measurable indicator of human exposure to Stachyborys chartarum. Antibodies were produced against the hemolytic agent stachylysin obtained from the mold S. chartarum. These antibodies were used to develop two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods for the analysis of stachylysin in human and rat sera and environmental samples. Stachylysin was measured in rat pups that received nasal instillations of S. chartarum conidia but not in control rat serum. Stachylysin in the serum of five human adults exposed to S. chartarum in water-damaged environments was 371 ng/mL but none was detected in the control serum. Stachylysin was also quantified in spore, wallboard, mycelial, and dust samples. The measurement of stachylysin may be a useful indicator in assessing human exposure to S. chartarum and in determining the presence of this indoor mold.

AN - 73364461; 12782502 AB - Pollutants originating from the destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City on 11 September 2001 have been reported to cause adverse respiratory responses in rescue workers and nearby residents. We examined whether WTC-derived fine particulate matter [particulate matter with a mass median aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 microm (PM2.5)] has detrimental respiratory effects in mice to contribute to the risk assessment of WTC-derived pollutants. Samples of WTC PM2.5 were derived from settled dust collected at several locations around Ground Zero on 12 and 13 September 2001. Aspirated samples of WTC PM2.5 induced mild to moderate degrees of pulmonary inflammation 1 day after exposure but only at a relatively high dose (100 microg). This response was not as great as that caused by 100 microg PM2.5 derived from residual oil fly ash (ROFA) or Washington, DC, ambient air PM [National Institute of Standards and Technology, Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1649a]. However, this same dose of WTC PM2.5 caused airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine aerosol comparable to that from SRM 1649a and to a greater degree than that from ROFA. Mice exposed to lower doses by aspiration or inhalation exposure did not develop significant inflammation or hyperresponsiveness. These results show that exposure to high levels of WTC PM2.5 can promote mechanisms of airflow obstruction in mice. Airborne concentrations of WTC PM2.5 that would cause comparable doses in people are high (approximately 425 microg/m3 for 8 hr) but conceivable in the aftermath of the collapse of the towers when rescue and salvage efforts were in effect. We conclude that a high-level exposure to WTC PM2.5 could cause pulmonary inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in people. The effects of chronic exposures to lower levels of WTC PM2.5, the persistence of any respiratory effects, and the effects of coarser WTC PM are unknown and were not examined in these studies. Degree of exposure and respiratory protection, individual differences in sensitivity to WTC PM2.5, and species differences in responses must be considered in assessing the risks of exposure to WTC PM2.5.

AN - 73350643; 12782111 AB - The pathophysiology of neurogenic inflammation culminates in the overt symptoms of tissue inflammation through a series of events which are initiated by the activation of vanilloid receptors (VR1). This study was designed to test the hypothesis that a sufficiently negative, electrostatic charge carried on a particulate matter (PM) particle, could acquire a cloud of protons sufficient to activate proton-sensitive VR1 receptors and acid-sensitive ionic channels (ASICs) pathways. For this, nanometer-sized, synthetic polystyrene micells (SPM) or those charged with chemical groups (e.g. diamino, carboxyl) were used. These chemical groups imparted either a net positive (i.e. diamino) or negative (i.e. carboxyl) charge on the SPM when suspended in a neutral ionic medium. The zeta potential, a measure of the SPM's electronegativity, was taken in both cell culture nutrient medium and in ultraviolet light-distilled water (UV-DW). In both vehicles, the rank order of electronegativity (most to least negative) was carboxyl > polystyrene > diamino-SPM. Individual types of SPM were exposed to human, immortalized bronchial-tracheal epithelial cells (i.e. BEAS-2B) and endpoints of biological activation (i.e. membrane depolarization, increases in intracellular calcium (i.e. [Ca(2+)](i)) levels, IL-6 release) were measured. Cells loaded with a fluorescent probe for membrane depolarization (3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide, DiOC-6-3) showed a positive reaction when exposed to carboxyl-SPM but not to diamino-SPM. BEAS-2B cells exposed to carboxyl-SPM responded with significant increases in [Ca(2+)](i), and IL-6 release relative to uncharged SPM or diamino-SPM. This IL-6 release could be reduced by pretreatment with antagonists to the VR1 receptor (i.e. capsazepine) or to acid-sensitive ionc channels (i.e. amiloride). Although both diamino and carboxyl-SPM groups stimulated increases in IL-6 transcript, only the more electronegatively charged carboxyl-SPM stimulated mRNA-VR1 receptor. These data suggest that measurable inflammatory changes can be stimulated in human epithelial target cells by the electrostatic charge carried on an inert particle. Further, these changes appear to be mediated through acid-sensitive VR1 receptors and ASICs.

AN - 73295140; 12606370 AB - Brief exposure to some pesticides, applied during a sensitive window for the neural regulation of ovulation, will block the preovulatory surge of LH and, thus, delay ovulation. Previously, we have shown that a single i.p. injection of 50 mg/kg of thiram, a dithiocarbamate fungicide that decreases norepinephrine synthesis, on proestrus (1300 h) suppresses the LH surge and delays ovulation for 24 h without altering the number of oocytes released. However, when bred, the treated dams had a decreased litter size and increased postimplantation loss. We hypothesized that the reduced litter size in thiram-delayed rats was a consequence of altered oocyte function arising from intrafollicular oocyte aging. To test this hypothesis, we examined delayed oocytes, zygotes, and 2-cell embryos for evidence of fertilization and polyspermy. In addition, we used confocal laser-scanning microscopy to evaluate and characterize cortical granule localization in oocytes and release in zygotes, because the cortical granule response is a major factor in the normal block to polyspermy. Our results demonstrate that a thiram-induced, 24-h delay in ovulation alters the fertilizability of the released oocyte. Although no apparent morphological differences were observed in the unfertilized mature oocytes released following the thiram-induced delay, the changes observed following breeding include a significant decrease in the percentage of fertilized oocytes, a significant increase in polyspermic zygotes (21%), and a 10-fold increase in the number of supernumerary sperm in the perivitelline space. Importantly, all the polyspermic zygotes exhibited an abnormal pattern of cortical granule exudate, suggestive of a relationship between abnormal cortical reaction and the polyspermy in the delayed zygotes. Because polyspermy is associated with polyploidy, abnormal development, and early embryonic death, the observed polyspermy could explain the abnormal development and decreased litter size that we observed previously following thiram-delayed ovulation.

AN - 73265573; 12576298 AB - Despite a lack of transferrin, hypotransferrinemic (Hp) mice demonstrate an accumulation of iron in peripheral organs including the lungs. One potential candidate for such transferrin-independent uptake of iron is divalent metal transporter-1 (DMT1), an established iron transporter. We tested the hypothesis that increased concentrations of iron in the lungs of Hp mice are associated with elevations in DMT1 expression. With the use of inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, measurements of nonheme iron confirmed significantly elevated concentrations in the lung tissue of Hp mice relative to the wild-type mice. Western blot analyses for the expression of two isoforms of DMT1 in the Hp mice relative to the wild-type animals demonstrated an elevation for the isoform that lacks an iron-responsive element (IRE) with significant decrements in the expression of +IRE DMT1. With the use of immunohistochemistry, -IRE DMT1 was localized to both airway epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages in wild-type mice. Staining appeared increased in both types of cells in the Hp mice. Elevated concentrations of both tissue nonheme iron and expression of -IRE DMT1 in the Hp mice were associated with increased quantities of -IRE mRNA. There was no difference between wild-type and homozygotic Hp mice in the amount of mRNA for DMT1 +IRE. We conclude that differences between Hp and wild-type mice in nonheme iron concentrations were accompanied by increases in the expression of -IRE DMT1. Increased expression of -IRE DMT1 in the lungs of the Hp mice could be responsible for elevated concentrations of the metal in these tissues. JF - American journal of physiology.

AN - 73164895; 12676217 AB - This is an overview of Session 2c dealing with the regulatory, policy and economic issues related to carbon dioxide and its impact on global climate change. The information is taken from the two papers presented in this session (the U.S. Perspective by Dennis Leaf and the European Perspective by Hans J.H. Verolme) and from the panel discussion that took place at the end of the session. The overview focuses primarily on the policy responses of both the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) to changes in global atmospheric pollution. To a lesser extent, the progress of policy responses to these changes is discussed. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has been signed and ratified by over 180 countries. The UNFCCC contained no binding targets or timetables for emissions reductions. The Kyoto Protocol [United Nations. Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. UNEP.IUC/99/10. Chatlelaine, Switzerland: United Nations Environment Programme's Information Unit for Conventions, for the Climate Change Secretariat, 1997] to the UNFCCC did contain targets and timetables for reductions of greenhouse gases on the part of developed countries. The US has signed but not ratified the Kyoto Protocol. The US has experienced some movement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on the part of various levels of government, as well as the private sector. The UK's commitment to reducing green house gases is laid down in the UK Climate Change Programme 2000. The UK is a member of the European Union (EU). In this context, an example of EU-wide progress, the voluntary agreement with car manufacturers to reduce CO(2) emissions in new vehicles, will be discussed. In addition, there will be some discussion on the UK CO(2) trading scheme that created the first market in the world in April 2001. Overall, the policy process is constantly informed by scientific research. In the case of climate change, much of this work is carried out under the auspices of international scientific panels.

AN - 73155552; 12676223 AB - Public education campaigns, to be successful, must repeat simple, consistent messages over time, using various sources and media. During the 2000, 2001, and 2002 ozone seasons, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) employed a four-pronged, multimedia approach to educate the public about air quality in the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) region. The four-pronged approach included several varied information sources:The new Air Pollution Watch/Warning system based on public health and designed using standard meteorological terminology with notices delivered via e-mail, over the radio, during TV weather forecasts, and on electronic road signs.A revamped Web page, including information about current air quality, ozone exceedances, clean air public meetings, and how to "Do Your Share for Cleaner Air".A PowerPoint presentation used to explain the basics of ozone air pollution, the new Air Pollution Watch/Warning system, and the new Dallas/Fort Worth Clean Air Plan to a variety of constituencies, including the media, scientific/technical/academic groups, elected officials, and community/civic organizations. Newsletter updates, published in the Environmental Resources Department's InsidER (with a circulation of around 1500), to educate and keep the public up-to-date about various air quality issues. This paper provides details about the four-pronged approach, and how it incorporates principles of successful public education campaigns.

AN - 71601394; 15764554 AB - Monitoring the emissions flux of contaminant gases from large area sources requires measurement of concentrations from an optical remote sensing device and reconstruction of the plume. Path integrated concentrations are determined using multiple optical beam paths. The spatial distribution of concentrations is generated for a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wind. Estimates of the emission flux are determined by integrating the product of the calculated concentrations and wind speeds over the plane. No standard method exists for the complete process, defensible estimates of the uncertainty of the final emission flux have not yet been developed, and a data validation procedure is needed. Auditors are challenged to configure an adequate performance evaluation standard that is representative of a large area source. JF - Quality assurance (San Diego, Calif.)

AN - 71598290; 15764553 AB - This paper assists systematic planning for research projects. It presents planning concepts in terms that have some utility for researchers. For example, measurement quality objectives are more familiar to researchers than data quality objectives because these quality criteria are more closely associated with the measurement systems being used. Because of the diverse nature of research, it is not possible to describe cookbook-style planning procedures to be used in all cases. Instead, several general concepts and techniques are presented and researchers can choose those techniques that best fit their specific projects. Examples are presented to illustrate the techniques.

This question is particularly important at sites where thousands of cubic meters of DNAPLs were disposed of. To date, results from laboratory models have not been scaled to predict analogous migration at the larger length and time scales appropriate for sites where large volumes of DNAPLs were released. Modified inspectional analysis is a technique for developing scaling relationships through nondimensionalizing the governing equations. It was applied in this study to scale observations of DNAPL migration in a laboratory model to four hypothetical scenarios in the field where large volumes of DNAPL were released. One scenario was compared to a large DNAPL spill site. The length and time scales of DNAPL movement predicted from our analysis are consistent with those predicted from a numerical model of this site. To our knowledge, this is the first application of modified inspectional analysis for release of DNAPLs in a laboratory model. This methodology may prove useful for scaling results from other laboratory investigations of DNAPL migration to field-scale systems.

The acetate is administered to livestock via slow-release implants; some is converted by the animal to 17- beta -trenbolone, a relatively potent androgen receptor agonist in mammalian systems. Recent studies indicate that excreted 17- beta -trenbolone is comparatively stable in animal waste, suggesting the potential for exposure to aquatic animals via direct discharge, runoff, or both. However, little is known concerning the toxicity of trenbolone to fish. Our goal was to assess the effects of 17- beta - trenbolone on reproductive endocrinology of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). An in vitro competitive binding study with the fathead minnow androgen receptor demonstrated that 17- beta -trenbolone had a higher affinity for the receptor than that of the endogenous ligand, testosterone. Male and female fish were exposed for 21 d to nominal (target) concentrations of 17- beta -trenbolone ranging from 0.005 to 50 [mu]g/L. Fecundity of the fish was significantly reduced by exposure to measured test concentrations ge 0.027 [mu]g/L. The 17- beta -trenbolone was clearly androgenic in vivo at these concentrations, as evidenced by the de novo production in females of dorsal (nuptial) tubercles, structures normally present only on the heads of mature males. Plasma steroid (testosterone and beta -estradiol) and vitellogenin concentrations in the females all were significantly reduced by exposure to 17- beta -trenbolone. The 17- beta -trenbolone also altered reproductive physiology of male fathead minnows, albeit at concentrations much higher than those producing effects in females. Males exposed to 17- beta -trenbolone at 41 [mu]g/L (measured) exhibited decreased plasma concentrations of 11-ketotestosterone and increased concentrations of beta -estradiol and vitellogenin. Overall, our studies indicate that 17- beta -trenbolone is a potent androgen and reproductive toxicant in fish. Given the widespread use of trenbolone acetate as a growth promoter, and relative stability of its metabolites in animal wastes, further studies are warranted to assess potential ecological risk.

A significant attraction of the World Heritage-listed island are the dingoes, which are regarded as one of the purest strains in Australia. The dingo population is estimated to be between 150 and 200 animals and their conservation is of national significance. Concerns have long been expressed about the potential for dangerous interactions between dingoes and humans. As visitation to the Island has increased, aspects of the environment have changed and dingoes have altered their normal habits. Management practices have focussed on removing unnatural food sources, such as open rubbish dumps, and educating the public. On April 30, 2001, dingoes mauled a 9-year-old boy to death and the public demanded firm management decisions. However, the fundamental question remained. Do we manage the animals or the people? Public opinion was polarised. This article describes the issues and politics of managing dingoes and tourists on Fraser Island, and highlights how a single serious incident can influence management decisions.

More often than not, hydrologic units (HUs) are used for these purposes, with the implication that hydrologic units are synonymous with watersheds. Whereas true topographic watersheds are areas within which apparent surface water drains to a particular point, generally only 45 percent of all hydrologic units, regardless of their hierarchical level, meet this definition. Because the area contributing to the downstream point in many hydrologic units extends far beyond the unit boundaries, use of the hydrologic unit framework to show regional and national patterns of water quality and other environmental resources can result in incorrect and misleading illustrations. In this paper, the implications of this misuse are demonstrated using four adjacent HUs in central Texas. A more effective way of showing regional patterns in environmental resources is by using data from true watersheds representative of different ecological regions containing particular mosaics of geographical characteristics affecting differences in ecosystems and water quality.

The column consisted of a 10.3 cm depth of 50:50 (w:w, Peerless iron:sand) in the middle and a 10.3 cm depth of a sediment from Elizabeth City, NC, in both upper and lower portions of the 31-cm-long glass column (2.5 cm in diameter) with three side sampling ports. The flow velocity (upflow mode) was maintained at 4.3 m d super(-1) during the 3-4-month experiments. As expected, dissolved As concentrations in different positions of the column generally followed the order: column influent > bottom port effluent > middle port effluent > top port effluent > column effluent. The steady-state As removal in the middle Peerless iron and sand mixture zone might be attributed to the continuous supply of corroded iron in the form of iron oxides and hydroxides that served as the sorbents for both As(V) and As(III). Consistent with previous batch study findings, dissolved phosphate (0.5 or 1 mg of P L super(-1)) and silicate (10 or 20 mg of Si L super(-1)) showed strong inhibition for As(V) and As(III) (1 mg of As(V) L super(-1) + 1 mg of As(III) L super(-1) in 7 mM NaCl + 0.86 mM CaSO sub(4)) removal by Peerless iron in the column tests. The presence of combined phosphate and silicate resulted in earlier breakthrough (C = 0.5C sub(0)) and earlier complete breakthrough of dissolved arsenic relative to absence of added phosphate and silicate in the bottom port effluent. Competition between As(V)/As(III) and phosphate/silicate for the sorption sites on the corrosion products of Peerless iron seems to be the cause of the observations. This effect is especially important in the case of silicate for designing a PRB of zerovalent iron for field use because dissolved silicate is ubiquitous in terrestrial waters.

The model attributes the high conductivities to mineral weathering resulting from byproducts of microbial redox processes. To evaluate this conductive model, in situ vertical conductivity measurements were acquired from a light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) contaminated site. The results showed high conductivities coincident with the zone of contamination and within the smear zone influenced by seasonal water table fluctuations. We infer this zone as an active zone of biodegradation and suggest significant microbial degradation under partially water saturated conditions. A simple Archie's Law analysis shows large pore water conductivities necessary to reproduce the bulk conductivity measured at the contaminated location. This study supports the conductive layer model and demonstrates the potential of geoelectrical investigations for assessing microbial degradation of LNAPL impacted soils.

To assess the toxicity of fine particulate matter [particulate matter with a mass median aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 mu m (PM sub(2.5))], which may adversely affect the health of workers and residents in the area, we collected fallen dust samples on 12 and 13 September 2001 from sites within a half-mile of Ground Zero. Samples of WTC dust were sieved, aerosolized, and size-separated, and the PM sub(2.5) fraction was isolated on filters. Here we report the chemical and physical properties of PM sub(2.5) derived from these samples and compare them with PM sub(2.5) fractions of three reference materials that range in toxicity from relatively inert to acutely toxic (Mt. St. Helens PM; Washington, DC, ambient air PM; and residual oil fly ash). X-ray diffraction of very coarse sieved WTC PM (< 53 mu m) identified calcium sulfate (gypsum) and calcium carbonate (calcite) as major components. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that calcium-sulfur and calcium-carbon particles were also present in the WTC PM sub(2.5) fraction. Analysis of WTC PM sub(2.5) using X-ray fluorescence, neutron activation analysis, and inductively coupled plasma spectrometry showed high levels of calcium (range, 22-33%) and sulfur (37-43% as sulfate) and much lower levels of transition metals and other elements. Aqueous extracts of WTC PM sub(2.5) were basic (pH range, 8.9-10.0) and had no evidence of significant bacterial contamination. Levels of carbon were relatively low, suggesting that combustion-derived particles did not form a significant fraction of these samples recovered in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of the towers. Because gypsum and calcite are known to cause irritation of the mucus membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract, inhalation of high doses of WTC PM sub(2.5) could potentially cause toxic respiratory effects.

The data used in our study were collected by the US Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program from 1993 to 1996. Regression models were developed relating metric values at reference sites to natural sources of variability. These models were then used to predict reference values at test sites. Test site metric observations were scaled by subtracting the predicted reference value and dividing by the standard deviation of residuals at reference sites. Stressor-response relationships for each scaled metric were then estimated using generalized additive models. Metric responses to 4 groups of stressors (nutrient enrichment, habitat degradation, elevated metals concentrations, and elevated ion concentrations) were different. The proportional abundance of tolerant taxa was the most sensitive indicator of nutrient enrichment and habitat degradation, whereas Ephemeroptera richness was the most sensitive indicator of elevated metals or ion concentrations.

Although tests of the concept have produced varied results, sites selected to address indicator groups can include a high proportion of other species. We tested the hypothesis that species at risk of extinction are not likely to be included in sites selected to protect indicator groups. Using a reserve-selection approach, we compared the ability of seven indicator groups--freshwater fish, birds, mammals, freshwater mussels, reptiles, amphibians, and at-risk species of those six taxa--to provide protection for other species in general and at-risk species in particular in the Middle Atlantic region of the United States. Although sites selected with single taxonomic indicator groups provided protection for between 61% and 82% of all other species, no taxonomic group provided protection for more than 58% of all other at-risk species. The failure to cover at-risk species is likely linked to their rarity. By examining the relationship between a species' probability of coverage by each indicator group and the extent of its geographic range within the study area, we found that species with more restricted ranges were less likely to be protected than more widespread species. Furthermore, we found that although sites selected with indicator groups composed primarily of terrestrial species ( birds and mammals ) included relatively high percentages of those species ( 82-85% ) they included smaller percentages of strictly aquatic species (27-55%). Finally, of both importance and possible utility, we found that at-risk species themselves performed well as an indicator group, covering an average of 84% of all other species.Original Abstract: Los indicadores de la biodiversidad han sido propuestos como una herramienta potencial en la seleccion de areas para conservacion cuando la informacion sobre la distribucion de algunas especies es escasa. A pesar de que algunas evaluaciones de este concepto han producido resultados variados, los sitios seleccionados para evaluar grupos indicadores pueden incluir una alta proporcion de otras especies. Evaluamos la hipotesis de que las especies en riesgo de extincion probablemente no se incluyan en sitios seleccionados para proteger grupos indicadores. Usando la metodologia de seleccion de reserva, comparamos la capacidad de siete grupos indicadores ( peces de agua dulce, aves, mamiferos, almejas de agua dulce, reptiles, anfibios y especies en riesgo de estos seis taxones ) para proveer proteccion a otras especies en general y especies en riesgo, en particular, en la region del Atlantico Medio de los Estados Unidos. A pesar de que los sitios con un solo grupo indicador proporcionaron proteccion para el 61% al 82% de todas las otras especies, ningun grupo taxonomico proporciono proteccion para mas del 58% de todas las otras especies en riesgo. La incapacidad de proteger especies en riesgo posiblemente se vincule con su rareza. Al examinar la relacion entre la probabilidad de cobertura de una especie para cada grupo indicador y la extension de su rango geografico dentro del area de estudio, encontramos que las especies con rangos mas restringidos tenian menor probabilidad de ser protegidas que las especies de distribucion mas amplia. Ademas, encontramos que, a pesar de que los sitios seleccionados con grupos indicadores compuestos principalmente por especies terrestres ( aves y mamiferos ) incluyeron porcentajes relativamente altos de estas especies ( 82%-85% ), estos incluyeron porcentajes mas bajos de especies estrictamente acuaticas ( 27%-55% ). Finalmente, de importancia y posible utilidad, encontramos que las especies en riesgo, por si mismas, funcionaron bien como grupo indicador, abarcando, en promedio, el 84% de todas las otras especies.

Antibodies were produced against the hemolytic agent stachylysin obtained from the mold S. chartarum. These antibodies were used to develop two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods for the analysis of stachylysin in human and rat sera and environmental samples. Stachylysin was measured in rat pups that received nasal instillations of S. chartarum conidia but not in control rat serum. Stachylysin in the serum of five human adults exposed to S. chartarum in water-damaged environments was 371 ng/mL but none was detected in the control serum. Stachylysin was also quantified in spore, wallboard, mycelial, and dust samples. The measurement of stachylysin may be a useful indicator in assessing human exposure to S. chartarum and in determining the presence of this indoor mold.

The collapse of the towers sent a tremendous cloud of crushed building materials and other pollutants into the air of lower Manhattan. In response to the calamity, federal, state, and city environmental authorities and research institutes devoted enormous resources to evaluate the impact of WTC-derived air pollution on public health. Unfortunately, on the day of the disaster, no air-sampling monitors were operating close to the WTC site to characterize and quantify pollutants in the dust cloud. However, analysis of fallen dust samples collected 5 and 6 days after the attack showed that 1-4% by weight consisted of particles small enough to be respirable (Lioy et al. 2002). These particles included fine particulate matter, or PM sub(2.5) [PM < 2.5 mu m mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD)], which can be inhaled deep into the lung and is associated with cardiovascular and respiratory health effects. Because of the extremely high concentrations of dust immediately after the collapse of the towers, even a relatively small proportion of PM sub(2.5) in the dust clouds could have contributed to breathing problems in rescue workers and others who were not wearing protective masks.

Three fire regimes were compared between 1997 and 2001: (i) control, savanna burnt in the mid-dry season (July) 1997 only; (ii) early burnt, savanna burnt in the mid-dry season 1997 and early dry season (May) 1999; and (iii) late burnt, savanna burnt in the mid-dry season 1997 and late dry season (October) 1999. Five annual surveys of permanent plots detected stability in the abundance of most species, irrespective of fire regime. However, a significant increase in the abundance of several subshrubs, ephemeral and twining perennial forbs, and grasses occurred in the first year after fire, particularly after late dry season fires. The abundance of these species declined toward prefire levels in the second year after fire. The dominant grass Heteropogon triticeus significantly declined in abundance with fire intervals of 4 years. The density of trees (>2 m tall) significantly increased in the absence of fire for 4 years, because of the growth of saplings; and the basal area of the dominant tree Corymbia clarksoniana significantly increased over the 5-year study, irrespective of fire regime. Conservation management of these savannas will need to balance the role of regular fires in maintaining the diversity of herbaceous species with the requirement of fire intervals of at least 4-years for allowing the growth of saplings >2 m in height. Whereas late dry season fires may cause some tree mortality, the use of occasional late fires may help maintain sustainable populations of many grasses and forbs.

One method to examine the effects of solvent exposure on visual function is flash-evoked potentials (FEPs). Greater knowledge of the role of various neurotransmitters in generating FEP peaks would be beneficial for understanding the basis of neurotoxicant-induced changes. FEP peak N sub(166) is influenced by the psychological construct of arousal, which in turn is believed to be influenced by the function of neurons containing norepinephrine (NE). Because of its known effects on both NE and FEPs, we utilized carbon disulfide (CS sub(2)) as a means to examine the possible role of NE in modulating the amplitude of FEP peaks N sub(36) and N sub(166). Our hypothesis was that CS sub(2)-induced alterations in cortical NE levels would be correlated with changes in FEP peak N sub(36) and N sub(166) amplitudes. Adult male Long-Evans rats were implanted with electrodes over their visual cortex and allowed to recover. To develop peak N sub(166), FEPs were recorded for two days prior to dosing. On the third day, FEPs were recorded prior to dosing, and one group of animals was sacrificed to serve as pretreatment controls. The remaining animals were dosed ip with 0 (corn oil vehicle; 2 ml/kg), 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg CS sub(2). The treated animals were retested at 1, 4, 8, or 24 h after dosing, immediately sacrificed, and samples of the cortex, cerebellum, striatum, and brain stem were frozen for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of monoamine levels. Treatment with CS sub(2) decreased peak N sub(166) amplitude at 1 h, and peak N sub(36) amplitude was depressed at 4 h, relative to the subject's pretreatment values. Peak latencies were increased, and colonic temperature was decreased by treatment with CS sub(2). Exposure to CS sub(2) depressed NE levels in the cortex, brain stem, and cerebellum 4 h after treatment. Conversely, at 4 h, levels of dopamine (DA) and its metabolite 3,4- dihydroxyphenylacetic acid were increased in the brain stem and cerebellum, and levels of the da metabolite homovanillic acid were increased in the brain stem. Levels of serotonin were unaffected by CS sub(2) treatment. There was a slight increase in striatal levels of the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid at all times after treatment with CS sub(2). There was no apparent association between the decreases in NE levels and the reductions in amplitudes for peaks N sub(36) and N sub(166). The neurochemical mechanism for CS sub(2)-induced reductions in FEP peak amplitudes remains to be determined.

This study was undertaken as part of an interdisciplinary project to evaluate a mixture of three environmental pollutants. A full-factorial design was undertaken to determine the neurobehavioral consequences of short-term repeated exposure to five dose levels each of three chemicals, in order to characterize potential two- and three-way interactions. Adult female F344 rats received (p.o.) for 10 days either one of five doses of trichloroethylene, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, or heptachlor, or else one of all possible chemical combinations. Neurobehavioral evaluations were conducted using motor activity and an abbreviated functional observational battery. Response-surface analysis was applied to each of the endpoints. Hypotheses were tested based on the estimated model parameters; of primary interest was the overall test for interaction among the three chemicals. In addition, an abbreviated design was created by fitting only a subset of the data to the model. In general, significant overall interactions that deviated from response additivity were detected for most endpoints (11 of 14). All of the interactions on the neurobehavioral endpoints showed either antagonism, or else an interaction that could not be fully characterized. Often the results of the abbreviated dataset analysis were not the same as for the full-factorial design. This study was extremely intensive, in terms of the number of rats and time required for conduct of the study as well as the data analysis. These results underscore the need for more economical approaches to evaluate the toxic effects of mixtures of chemicals.

Measurements of their biomass were made from late spring to early winter in 1999 at six intertidal sites in the estuary, and were continued through the winter of 2002 at two sites that showed the greatest accumulation. The dominant blooming species were the Enteromorpha linza complex, Ulva fenestrata, E. flexuosa, and E. intestinalis. Red and brown algal abundance was negligable. Nutrients in the central channel were monitored, along with incident light and water column absorbence, and sediment temperature. The abundance of benthic amphipods was negatively correlated with the concentration of dissolved sulfides in porewater. However, dissolved sulfide levels were not correlated with green macroalgae biomass. Additional correlations were sought between the variables measured in an effort to suggest or negate major cause and effect relationships. This research is relevant to discerning the effects of eutrophication as a stressor on estuarine processes and could contribute toward an understanding of anthropogenic impacts on biological communities in coastal ecosystems.

What is not always clear is how to define the value of a habitat to a particular species of interest. This information is important to assess the impacts of habitat alteration on species that utilize those areas. The impacts of these types of alterations to the critical life support functions of shellfish populations will be reviewed. A characterization of the habitat conditions that support the survival and continued viability of shellfish populations is needed to properly assess habitat alteration and evaluate the success of restoration efforts.

Assessing the natural attenuation capacity of the subsurface for arsenic is a key step leading to successful site remediation. Chemical reactions between arsenic and several iron hydroxides (goethite, lepidocrocite and green rust) were studied. By comparing the arsenic attenuation capacity of iron hydroxides, clay minerals and feldspars, an order was established: iron hydroxides>clays>feldspars. Results showed that arsenic was more strongly bound by iron hydroxides than clays, and that the iron minerals studied can extensively oxidize As(III) to As(V). Under reducing conditions, the concentration of As(III) significantly decreases due to the presence of green rust and parasymplesite. The studies provide evidence that some minerals could act as mineral indicators for site characterization. Integration of mineral indicators with geochemical parameters should aid in determining the potential of natural attenuation of the subsurface with arsenic contamination.

The tests covered six organic compounds with a Henry's constant range from 3.33 x 10 super(-7) to 3.67 x 10 super(-3) (atm m super(3)/mol). The estimated overall liquid phase mass transfer coefficients for still solutions varied from 1.8 x 10 super(-6) to 5.7 x 10 super(-3) m/h; the estimated liquid phase mass transfer coefficients were 9.7 x 10 super(-3) m/h for the reference compound (oxygen) and 5.00 x 10 super(-3) to 6.04 x 10 super(-3) m/h for the test compounds. An empirical model is proposed to estimate the overall mass transfer coefficient, which can be used to predict pollutant emissions from still aqueous solutions (e.g. pools and puddles) in indoor environments.

Human enteric viruses are thought to be leading etiological agents of many of these outbreaks, but there is relatively little information on the types and levels of viruses found in groundwater. To address this problem, monthly samples from 29 groundwater sites were analyzed for 1 year for enteroviruses, hepatitis A virus, Norwalk virus, reoviruses, and rotaviruses by multiplex reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). A procedure with which to remove environmental RT-PCR inhibitors from groundwater samples was developed. The procedure allowed an average of 71 liters of the original groundwater to be assayed per RT-PCR, with an average virus recovery rate of 74%, based on seeded samples. Human enteric viruses were detected in 16% of the groundwater samples analyzed, with reoviruses being the most frequently detected virus group.

All data were obtained from the California Air Resources Board and the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service and have been standardized to be comparable to the current UV photometry calibration basis. A rigorous statistical analysis was performed to integrate these data with differing accuracies, reliabilities and representativeness of the study site into a temporally consistent research-quality data set for Crestline, California. Records of O sub(3) monitoring on a long-term consistent basis provide much needed information to better understand the chronic effects of pollutants on sensitive species. The database provides valuable information on the changing ambient air quality conditions in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California due initially to increases in population and vehicle usage and subsequently due to decreases in O sub(3) precursors from the implementation of more effective emission control strategies beginning in the late 1970s. An Excel spreadsheet containing the hourly O sub(3) concentrations for Crestline in 1963- 1999 can be accessed at http://www.epa.gov/wed/pages/models.htm.

AN - 73349041; 12798208 AB - An embryonic chick (Gallus domesticus) whole-organ pancreas culture system was developed for use as an in vitro model to study cholinergic regulation of exocrine pancreatic function. The culture system was examined for characteristic exocrine function and viability by measuring enzyme release, and noting histological, morphological, and anti-amylase immuno-fluorescence staining changes over a series of incubation times. This embryonic culture system exhibits loss of viability and morphological degeneration after 12 h of incubation time. Characterization and development of this exocrine model system was an important aspect of this study. Assessment of the 18-day-old embryonic chick pancreas model clearly indicated biochemical and cholinergic functionality, and morphological integrity, of the tissue after 4-h incubation. This embryonic age and incubation period were utilized for all subsequent cholinergic studies. The in vitro model was used to study parasympathetic regulation of exocrine function via the muscarinc receptors present in the embryonic chick pancreas. The effects of synthetic muscarinic agonists (bethanechol and carbachol) and subtype-specific antagonists affected amylase release to varying degrees suggesting heterogeneity of receptors. The effects of the muscarinic receptor antagonists atropine (non-specific), pirenzepine (M(1)-selective) and 4-DAMP [4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methyl-piperidine methiodide] (M(3)-selective) on bethanechol-stimulated amylase release were examined. Atropine and 4-DAMP at concentrations of 2 microM and higher significantly inhibited (p<0.05) agonist-stimulated amylase release, while pirenzipine did not at 2 microM, but did at 200 microM. The M(3) subtype selective antagonist 4-DAMP (2 pM-2 mM) significantly inhibited (p<0.05) 5 mM bethanechol-stimulated amylase release at concentrations of 2 microM and greater (amylase activity decreased from 100.61 to 49.41 U/l/mg). The data suggest the existence of a muscarinic receptor subtype for the embryonic chick pancreas exocrine cells characteristic to the mammalian M(3) glandular subtype.

This article presents the results of a survey of the publicly available literature on the effectiveness of lead intervention on pediatric blood lead levels at hazardous waste sites. The survey includes six hazardous waste sites located in Canada, Australia, and the United States at which intervention activities were conducted and pediatric blood lead levels were sampled both pre- and postintervention. Evaluation of the effectiveness of intervention on pediatric blood lead levels is often complicated due to confounding variables and statistical limitations. Nevertheless, the outcomes of the intervention studies reviewed in this report suggest that various approaches to the intervention of the dust ingestion pathway, alone or in combination, contributed to declines in blood lead levels in children living in areas heavily contaminated with lead.

AN - 16174113; 5801310 AB - Integrated product policy (IPP) and life cycle assessment (LCA), one of the analytic tools used in IPP, focus traditionally on environmental impacts. However, in an attempt to consider other sustainability criteria and to avoid a shift from environmental health impacts to occupational health impacts one may want to include occupational health in IPP. Should and can occupational health impacts be included in LCA and IPP? Using published and unpublished occupational health data for injuries and illnesses and an economic input-output model of the United States, we provide attributional occupational health impacts measured in disability adjusted life years per dollars output for 491 industry sectors including supply chain impacts. Estimates for the "true" number of United States occupational health impacts suggest that this initial analysis underestimates the total impact 3-7-fold. A comparison suggests that United States occupational health impacts are about 10 times smaller than environmental health impacts and are, relatively speaking, important only for sectors with hazardous working environments but low environmental impacts. A consequential rather than attributional view suggests that a method to assess true consequences on long-term health impacts by product policies needs to be able to predict effects from present-day work place exposure and to account for likely changes in the labor market, including changes in unemployment rates and other substitution mechanisms.

AN - 73312121; 12746131 AB - Diesel particles have been shown to possess adjuvant activity and influence the development of allergic sensitization. Also, more heterogeneous mixtures of pollution particles have been shown to affect host defenses and development of immunity in animal models. In the present study it was determined whether freshly collected particulate matter (PM(10)) in the size ranges 2.5-10 micro m (PM(2.5-10), coarse), 0.1-2.5 micro m (PM(2.5), fine), and 500,000 people worldwide each year. The population most at risk appears to be elderly people with respiratory and cardiovascular disease. As yet, no commonly accepted mechanism has been proposed which can explain the cause of these deaths. Heart rate variability (HRV) was assessed in healthy elderly adults between the ages of 60 and 80 who were exposed twice for 2 h: once to clean air and once to concentrated ambient air pollution particles (CAPS). Changes in HRV were measured immediately before, immediately following, and 24 h after exposure. Elderly subjects experienced significant decreases in HRV in both time and frequency domains immediately following exposure. Some of these changes persisted for at least 24 h. These data were compared with HRV data collected from young healthy volunteers exposed to CAPS in a previous study, in which no CAPS-induced changes in HRV were found. These concentrated ambient air pollution particle-induced changes in heart rate variability in a controlled human exposure study extend similar findings reported in recent panel studies and suggest potential mechanisms by which particulate matter may induce adverse cardiovascular events.

AN - 73275723; 12743612 AB - This study measured 21 persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) pollutants in the US milk supply. Since milk fat is likely to be among the highest dietary sources of exposure to PBTs, it is important to understand their levels in this food. Nationwide samples were collected from 45 dairy plants in July of 2000 and again in January 2001. The levels of all chemicals in the chlorobenzene, pesticide and other halogenated organic groups were determined to be below their detection limits in all samples. National averages were computed for 11 chemicals or chemical groups found above the detection limits. The national average CDD/CDF and PCB TEQ concentrations were 14.30 and 8.64 pg/l, respectively, for a total of 22.94 pg/l. These levels are about half the values found in a similar study conducted in 1996. If this difference is in fact indicative of declining milk levels and assuming exposure levels from nondairy pathways have remained the same over this time period, this would result in an overall decrease in adult background dioxin exposure of 14%. Six PAHs were detected with national averages ranging from 40 to 777 ng/l. Cadmium concentrations ranged from 150 to 870 ng/l with a national average of 360 ng/l. Lead concentrations were consistently higher than those of cadmium, ranging from 630 to 1950 ng/l with a national average of 830 ng/l. PAHs showed the strongest seasonal/geographic differences, with higher levels in winter than summer, north than south and east than west. Average adult daily intakes from total milk fat ingestion were computed for all detected compounds and compared to total intakes from all pathways: CDD/CDF/PCB TEQs: 8 vs. 55 pg/day, PAHs: 0.6 vs. 3 micro g/day, lead: 0.14 vs. 4-6 micro g/day, and cadmium: 0.06 vs. 30 micro g/day.

AN - 73268448; 12730460 AB - Humans can be exposed to arsenic (As) through the intake of air, food and water. Although food is usually the major source of As exposure for people, most adverse effects are seen after As exposure from drinking water. The two main reasons for this situation are that most food arsenicals are organic and have little or no toxicity, and in many cases, As exposures from drinking water sources are to the more toxic inorganic form and occur at relatively high doses, e.g., hundreds of micrograms per day. In various parts of the world, As in drinking water is associated with such effects as gastroenteritis, neurological manifestations, vascular changes, diabetes and cancers (bladder, lung, liver, kidney and prostate). After reviewing the As database, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promulgated a maximum contaminant level for As in drinking water of 10 micro g/L.

I. Rationale for and avenues toward a green pharmacy. AN - 73261153; 12727606 AB - Since the 1980s, the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) as trace environmental pollutants, originating primarily from consumer use and actions rather than manufacturer effluents, continues to become more firmly established. Although PPCPs typically have been identified in surface and ground waters, some are also undoubtedly associated with solid phases such as suspended particulates, sediments, and sewage sludges, despite their relatively high affinity for water. Often amenable to degradation, their continual introduction to waste-receiving waters results from their widespread, continuous, combined use by individuals and domestic animals, giving PPCPs a "pseudo-persistence" in the environment. Little is known about the environmental or human health hazards that might be posed by chronic, subtherapeutic levels of these bioactive substances or their transformation products. The continually growing, worldwide importance of freshwater resources, however, underscores the need for ensuring that any aggregate or cumulative impacts on (or from) water supplies are minimized. Despite the paucity of effects data from long-term, simultaneous exposure at low doses to multiple xenobiotics (particularly non-target-organism exposure to PPCPs), a wide range of proactive actions could be implemented to reduce or minimize the introduction of PPCPs to the environment. Most of these actions fall under what could be envisioned as a holistic stewardship program--overseen by the health care industry and consumers alike. Significantly, such a stewardship program would benefit not just the environment; additional, collateral benefits could automatically accrue, including reducing consumers' medication expenses and improving patient health and consumer safety. In this article, the first of a two-part mini-monograph describing the "green pharmacy," I focus initially on the background behind the imperative for an ecologically oriented stewardship program for PPCPs. I then present a broad spectrum of possible source control/reduction actions, controlled largely by the health care industry, that could minimize the disposition of PPCPs to the environment. This two-part mini-monograph attempts to capture cohesively for the first time the wide spectrum of actions available for minimizing the release of PPCPs to the environment. A major objective is to generate an active dialog or debate across the many disciplines that must become actively involved to design and implement a successful approach to life-cycle stewardship of PPCPs.

AN - 73260494; 12719895 AB - The Macroinvertebrate Biotic Integrity Index (MBII) was developed from data collected at 574 wadeable stream reaches in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands region (MAHR) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA) Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP). Over 100 candidate metrics were evaluated for range, precision, responsiveness to various disturbances, relationship to catchment area, and redundancy. Seven metrics were selected, representing taxa richness (Ephemeroptera richness, Plecoptera richness, Trichoptera richness), assemblage composition (percent non-insect individuals, percent 5 dominant taxa), pollution tolerance [Macroinvertebrate Tolerance Index (MTI)], and one functional feeding group (collector-filterer richness). We scored metrics and summed them, then ranked the resulting index through use of independently evaluated reference stream reaches. Although sites were classified into lowland and upland ecoregional groups, we did not need to develop separate scoring criteria for each ecoregional group. We were able to use the same metrics for pool and riffle composite samples, but we had to score them differently. Using the EMAP probability design, we inferred the results, with known confidence bounds, to the 167,797 kilometers of wadeable streams in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands. We classified 17% of the target stream length in the MAHR as good, 57% as fair, and 26% as poor. Pool-dominated reaches were relatively rare in the MAHR, and the usefulness of the MBII was more difficult to assess in these reaches. The process used for developing the MBII is widely applicable and resulted in an index effective in evaluating region-wide conditions and distinguishing good and impaired reaches among both upland and lowland streams dominated by riffle habitat.

AN - 73233145; 12706749 AB - Environmental physiology is the study of the physiological mechanisms that allow animals to cope with and adapt to changes in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and other natural factors of their physical environment. Nearly all toxicological and pharmacological studies are performed in resting (i.e., nonexercising) experimental animals acclimatized to standard environmental conditions that are usually considered ideal to the animal's physiological well-being. These ideal test conditions are clearly not representative of the fluctuations in the natural environment encountered by humans and other animals on a day-to-day basis. It behooves the toxicologist, especially those interested in extrapolating experimental data from laboratory animals to humans, to consider how variations in the natural environment will alter physiological responses to toxicants. Temperature and exercise are the two most well-studied parameters in the fields of environmental physiology and toxicology. In general, high temperatures exacerbate the toxic effects of many environmental toxicants. Moreover, exercising subjects are generally more vulnerable to airborne toxic agents. The prospect of global warming also warrants a better assessment of how higher environmental temperatures may impact on the response of humans and other species to toxic chemicals. Hence, this paper and accompanying papers from the proceedings of a symposium focus on the salient aspects of the interaction between environmental stress and physiological response to toxic agents with particular emphasis on temperature and exercise.

AN - 73229056; 12719896 AB - When biological metrics are combined into a multimetric index for bioassessment purposes, individual metrics must be scored as unitless numbers to be combined into a single index value. Among different multimetric indices, methods of scoring metrics may vary widely in the type of scaling used and the way in which metric expectations are established. These differences among scoring methods may influence the performance characteristics of the final index that is created by summing individual metric scores. The Macroinvertebrate Biotic Integrity Index (MBII), a multimetric index, was developed previously for first through third order streams in the Mid-Atlantic highlands of the United States. In this study, six metric scoring methods were evaluated for the MBII using measures related to site condition and index variability, including the degree of overlap between impaired and reference distributions, relationships to a stressor gradient, within-sample index variability, temporal variability, and the minimum detectable difference. Measures of index variability were affected to a greater degree than those of index responsiveness by both the type of scaling (discrete or continuous) and the method of setting expectations. A scoring method using continuous scaling and setting metric expectations using the 95th percentile of the entire distribution of sites performed the best overall for the MBII. These results showed that the method of scoring metrics affects the properties of the final index, particularly variability, and should be examined in developing a multimetric index because these properties can affect the number of condition classes (e.g., unimpaired, impaired) an index can distinguish.

AN - 73225242; 12706752 AB - Little is known about the effects of physical activity (i.e., exercise training) on susceptibility to environmental toxicants. Chlorpyrifos (CHP), an organophosphate (OP) insecticide, affects thermoregulation, causing an acute period of hypothermia followed by a delayed fever. Since exercise conditioning alters the thermoregulatory responses of rodents, this study examined whether exercise training would alter the thermoregulatory response to repeated CHP administration in the female Sprague-Dawley rat. Core temperature (T(c)) and motor activity (MA) were monitored by radiotelemetry in rats housed at an ambient temperature (T(a)) of 22 degrees C. The rats either were provided with continuous access to running wheels (exercise group) or were housed in standard cages without wheels (sedentary group). The exercise group rats ran predominantly at night with an average of 7.6 km/24h. After 8 weeks the rats in both groups were gavaged daily with corn oil or 10mg/kg CHP (dissolved in corn oil) for 4 days. CHP induced an immediate hypothermic response followed by a delayed fever throughout the next day in the sedentary group rats after the first three doses of CHP. The exercise group rats showed no hypothermia after the first dose of CHP. However, they became hypothermic after the second and third doses of CHP. The exercise group rats developed a smaller daytime fever after each dose of CHP compared to the sedentary group rats. Overall, exercise training attenuated the hypothermic and febrile effects of repeated CHP. Thus, the data suggest that a sedentary lifestyle may increase the sensitivity to OP insecticides. Exercise training was also associated with a more rapid recovery of plasma cholinesterase activity.

AN - 73215502; 12701128 AB - LysoTracker Red (LT) is a paraformaldehyde fixable probe that concentrates into acidic compartments of cells and tissues. After cell death, a high level of lysosomal activity (acidic enzyme) is expressed in tissues resulting from phagocytosis of apoptotic bodies by neighboring cells. LT was shown previously to be an indicator of cell death in a manner similar to other standard assays (Annexin, terminal dUTP nick end labeling, Nile blue sulfate, neutral red, and acridine orange). LT fluorescence in fetal rat hindlimbs at gestational day 14 was measured 8 h after administration of the teratogen, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), with the use of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Four dose levels of 5-FU (0, 20, 30, and 40 mg/kg) were studied. The preparation technique involved staining with LT, paraformaldehyde fixation, methanol dehydration, and clearance with benzyl alcohol and benzyl benzoate. After this treatment, the limb was nearly transparent and ready for CLSM analysis. LT staining was observed in specific regions undergoing apoptosis in normal (control) hindlimbs. After 5-FU treatment, highly fluorescent regions appeared in the progress zone (PZ) of the limb. A dose-dependent response to 5-FU treatment was observed. Compared with controls, hindlimbs treated with 20, 30, and 40 mg/kg of 5-FU exhibited more fluorescence within the highly proliferative PZ. These results showed a dose-response relation between 5-FU exposure and LT uptake. We found that three-dimensional volumetric regions indicating a high level of fluorescence in the embryonic limb bud can be quantified with three different computer analysis programs. The combination of a sample preparation procedure that clears tissue, a CLSM technique that addresses the equipment variables, and an application of statistical population analysis procedures enabled the visualization and quantification of fluorescence in entire fetal rat hindlimbs that were approximately 500 microm in thickness.

Understanding flow dynamics and sources within a fractured rock setting is necessary in outlining a potential remediation strategy for AMD. Radiogenic and stable isotopes of water were used in the Mary Murphy Mine, Chalk Creek, Colorado, in order to characterize flowpaths and sourcewaters. Moreover, results from this research provide insights into groundwater flow systems in mountain environments of the Colorado Rockies. The radiogenic isotope sulphur-35 ( (super 35) S) with a half-life of 87 days is useful for identifying this year's snowmelt runoff, while tritium (3H) with a half-life 12.43y is useful for studying hydrologic processes at the decadal time scale. Hydrometric information showed that discharge from the mine adit exhibited a hydrograph characteristic of snowmelt runoff. However, mixing models using stable water isotopes (D and (super 18) O) found less than 7% of the mine's peak discharge was from snowmelt, suggesting a regional groundwater dominated system. Sulfur-35 and tritium were then sampled after snowmelt in July using a synoptic strategy that included interior mine sources, groundwater wells, and nearby Chalk Creek. Measured tritium from the Golf Portal and 1400' Portal was 14 TU and 14.5 TU, respectively; suggesting an older water source at least in part. The average tritium value within Mary Murphy Mine was 13.55 TU. The highest value occurred in seep XC-3 within the 1400' portal, at 18 TU. Mine samples showed little (super 35) S, measuring -1.2+/-20 and -1+/-5 mBq/L for MVN-1 and MVC-1, respectively. Chalk Creek also showed little (super 35) S, -1.2+/-1.3 mBq/L. Groundwater sample results show (super 35) S however; MM-6 measured 17.5+/-2 mBq/L, while MM-11 measured 1.4+/-.4 mBq/L. The degree of uncertainty for the (super 35) S was high due to a large range in recovery, from 0.8% to 80%, especially within the mine. The combination of radiogenic and stable isotopes within and near the Mary Murphy Mine may provide a useful tool for studying interactions between groundwaters and surfacewaters in a fractured rock setting. Remediation techniques can be directed more appropriately, and cost effectively, by the characterization of flowpaths within the mine as well.

Two primary TIE manipulations are available for characterizing and identifying ammonia in marine sediments: Ulva lactuca addition and zeolite addition. In this study, we compared the efficacy of these methods to (1) remove NH (sub x) and NH (sub 3) from overlying and interstitial waters and (2) reduce toxicity to the amphipod Ampelisca abdita and mysid Americamysis bahia using both spiked and environmentally contaminated sediments. The utility of aeration for removing NH (sub x) and NH (sub 3) during a marine sediment TIE was also evaluated preliminarily. In general, the U. lactuca and zeolite addition methods performed similarly well at removing spiked NH (sub x) and NH (sub 3) from overlying and interstitial waters compared to an unmanipulated sediment. Toxicity to the amphipod was reduced approximately the same by both methods. However, toxicity to the mysid was most effectively reduced by the U. lactuca addition indicating this method functions best with epibenthic species exposed to ammonia in the water column. Aeration removed NH (sub x) and NH (sub 3) from seawater when the pH was adjusted to 10; however, very little ammonia was removed at ambient pHs ( approximately 8.0).

For this project, data were taken from all monitoring sites within Region 5 that used the tapered element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) for PM sub(2.5) and had a collocated Federal Reference Method (FRM) monitor. Scatter plots of TEOM versus FRM show that for a significant fraction of the observations, an independent factor causes the TEOM to underestimate the FRM value. This underestimation appears to increase as temperature decreases. For this analysis, a linear relationship was fit to the TEOM versus FRM data, allowing a break or knot in the relationship, modeled as a change of slope, at a site-specific temperature. To test whether the models are adequate for adjusting future measurements, models were also developed using the first year of data only, and the remaining observations were used to test the durability of the relationships. For all but one monitor in Minnesota, the models developed for each site had consistently high R super(2)S, were predictive of future measurements, and could be used to derive "FRM-like" results from the TEOM measurements. The temperature knots fitted by the model for individual sites ranged from 12.9 to 20.6 degree C. Data from all six sites in the state of Michigan were also combined to determine if a single model could be developed for the entire state. While the single model for the state of Michigan worked reasonably well, some of the predicted concentrations at individual sites were systematically under-estimating the observed concentrations on more polluted days. The same conclusion was drawn for a Region 5-wide model. This approach was also found to work very well for six individual TEOM monitors in New York State.

Mathematical models were developed to incorporate the toxic and inhibitory effects (defined as the reduction in bacterial population upon exposure to the metal and the decrease in the metabolic rate of sulfate reduction by the SRB, respectively) into the sulfate- reduction biokinetics. The characteristic toxicity and inhibition constants were obtained from the measurements of bacterial populations and dissolved metal concentrations in serum bottle studies conducted at 35 degree C and pH 6.6. Both copper and zinc had toxic and inhibitory effects on SRB. The toxicity constants for copper and zinc were 10.6 and 2.9 mM super(-1), respectively, indicating that exposure to copper resulted in a higher mortality of SRB than did exposure to zinc. The values of the inhibition constants were found to be 17.9 +/- 2.5 and 25.2 +/- 1.0 mM super(-1) for copper and zinc, respectively. This implies that dissolved zinc was slightly more inhibitory to SRB than copper. The models presented in the paper can be used to predict the response of a sulfate- reduction bioreactor to heavy metals during acid mine drainage treatment.

By overlaying soil and land use maps onto the extracted channel network, input files required by the model are prepared. However, the nature of the extracted channel network strongly depends on some pre-selected threshold values within the GIS framework, which in turn, determine the geomorphologic resolution. There are no accepted guidelines for selecting these threshold parameters making the extraction of channel networks a subjective process. In this study, we investigate the effect of geomorphologic resolution on runoff hydrographs and sedimentographs over two small USDA experimental watersheds. The KINEROS model with ArcView interface has been used for this purpose. An empirical relationship between optimal resolution, watershed characteristics and nature of the storm has been developed. Results reveal that geometric simplification of the watershed for rainfall-runoff-erosion studies may be acceptable under right combinations of rainfall events and watershed properties. Our results also indicate that the optimal geomorphologic resolution may not be the same for hydrographs and sedimentographs.

To facilitate this discovery process, experts in the fields of functional genomics and informatics and the emerging field of toxicogenomics recently gathered at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory in Salisbury Cove, Maine, site of a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Science Center, to share their ideas and latest research findings. The goal of the symposium was to highlight approaches that may be used to identify and characterize toxicologically relevant genes being discovered in the genome sequencing projects. Many of the approaches rely heavily on comparative models as a way of identifying gene homology, ontology, and physiologic function, and on the availability of databases that facilitate storage, analysis, interpretation, and widespread dissemination of relevant data.

This effect, termed the hypothermic response, is primarily characterized by significant decreases in core temperature and heart rate and is generally accompanied by similar deficits in other important functional parameters. This response appears to be remarkably consistent across a wide variety of toxic agents and exposure regimens; however, the magnitude and duration of the induced effects may be modulated by changes in dose, animal mass, and environmental conditions. While the initiating stimulus and underlying mechanism(s) remains elusive, this response may represent an inherent reflexive pattern that is unique to the rodent and serves to attenuate the induced toxicity. Given that rodents are the primary animal species used in toxicological studies, it is important to consider this hypothermic response and its modulatory factors when interpreting the results of such studies and extrapolating those results to man.

The occurrence of these parasites was not limited to a specific area only. The two groups of parasites were found infecting the body of copepods. The first group is called Ellobiopsis chattoni and the second group is called Thalassomyces sp. which were found infecting many copepods namely Paracalanus aculeatus, Paracalanus crassirostris, Acartia danae,Temora discaudata . The infected organisms were found in reduced size, hence the biomass of plankton was also found less than that of the non infected copepods but the overall biodiversity of marine organisms were not found affected during the infection period.

Tissue responses to FA include a dose dependent epithelial degeneration, respiratory cell hypertrophy, and squamous metaplasia. The primary target for FA-induced toxicity in both rodents and monkeys is the respiratory nasal epithelium. FA increases nasal epithelial cell proliferation and DNA-protein crosslinks (DPX) that are associated with subsequent nasal cancer development. To address the acute effects of FA exposure that might contribute to known pathological changes, cDNA gene expression analysis was used. Two groups of male F344 rats received either 40 ul of distilled water or FA (400 mM) instilled into each nostril. Twenty-four hours following treatment, nasal epithelium was recovered from which total RNA was used to generate cDNA probes. Significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) hybridization data using Clontech Rat Atlas 1.2 arrays revealed that 24 of the 1185 genes queried were significantly up-regulated and 22 genes were significantly downregulated. Results for ten of the differentially expressed genes were confirmed by quantitative real time RT PCR. The identified genes with FA-induced change in expression belong to the functional gene categories xenobiotic metabolism, cell cycle, apoptosis, and DNA repair. These data suggest that multiple pathways are dysregulated by FA exposure, including those involved in DNA synthesis/repair and regulation of cell proliferation. Differential gene expression profiles may provide clues that could be used to define mechanisms involved in FA-induced nasal cancer.

A rodent model of hereditary renal cancer was used to investigate the carcinogenic response to a mixture of drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs). Rats carrying a mutation in the Tsc2 tumor suppressor gene (Eker rats) readily develop renal preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions, and are highly susceptible to the effects of renal carcinogens. Male and female Eker rats were exposed via drinking water to individual or a mixture of DBPs for 4 or 10 months. Potassium bromate, 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5- hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX), chloroform, and bromodichloromethane were administered at low concentrations of 0.02, 0.005, 0.4 and 0.07 g/l, respectively, and high concentrations of 0.4, 0.07, 1.8 and 0.7 g/l, respectively. Low and high dose mixture solutions were comprised of all four chemicals at either low concentrations or high concentrations, respectively, Following necropsy, each kidney was examined microscopically for preneoplastic lesions (atypical tubules and hyperplasias) and tumors. While some of the mixture responses observed in male rats did fall within the range expected for an additive response, especially at the high dose, predominantly antagonistic effects on renal lesions were observed in response to the low dose mixture in male rats and the high dose mixture in female rats. These data suggest that current default risk assessments assuming additivity may overstate the cancer risk associated with exposure to mixtures of DBPs at low concentrations.

These particles result from the oxygenation of Fe(II), and this study shows that pH and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) have important effects on their properties. Bench scale tests were conducted at a single oxygen concentration over a broad pH range. Increasing the DIC concentration increased the turbidity and apparent colour of a fixed concentration of iron suspension below pH68.7. Inorganic carbon was incorporated into the particle structure at these pH values. Above pH68.7 and in higher DIC waters, an intermediate green solid that contained Fe(II), Fe(III) and inorganic carbon formed for a brief period prior to complete oxidation to an Fe(III) solid. The green solid apparently was green rust, Fe super(I) sub(4) super(I)Fe super(I) sub(2) super(II)(OH) sub(12)CO sub(3). After complete oxidation of the intermediate solid to an Fe(III) solid, the iron particles did not include measurable amounts of inorganic carbon and appeared to maintain the physical structure of the green rust. Above pH68.7, DIC did not affect suspension colour and turbidity and inorganic carbon was not incorporated in the particle structure. The colour and turbidity of iron suspensions were largely related to particle size distribution.

Emission factors for these pollutants were determined, the first known characterization of this extent. Common California natural firewoods and manufactured artificial logs were tested under operating conditions intended to reflect domestic use patterns in the Bay area, which are primarily episodic burning for aesthetic reasons. Emission factors were determined by fuel type, fuel weight, mass emission rates, and energy output, highlighting differences between fuel and combustion facility type. Average PCDD/F emissions factors ranged from 0.25 to 1.4 ng toxic equivalency (TEQ)/kg of wood burned for natural wood fuels and 2.4 ng TEQ/kg for artificial logs. The natural wood emission factors are slightly lower than those which had been estimated for the U.S. inventory. Background-corrected PCBs emitted from woodstove/oak combustion (8370 ng/kg) are 3 orders of magnitude higher in mass than total PCDDs/Fs; however, their toxicity (0.014 ng TEQ/kg) is significantly lower. HxCBz emission factors varied from 13 to 990 ng/kg and were likely fuel- and appliance-specific. Relative PAH concentrations of particle-phase compounds and emission factors were consistent with others' findings. A total of 32 PAH compounds, ranging in concentration from 0.06 to 7 mg/kg, amounted to between 0.12 and 0.38% of the PM mass, depending on the wood and facility type. Preliminary analyses suggest relationships between wood combustion markers and PCDD/F levels.

It is not known whether such exposure affects pubertal development. We analyzed the relations between blood lead concentration and pubertal development among girls (defined as females 8 to 18 years of age) who were enrolled in a cross-sectional study (the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) in which race was self-reported or proxy-reported: 600 were non-Hispanic white, 805 were non-Hispanic African-American, and 781 were Mexican-American girls. Puberty was measured on the basis of the age at menarche and Tanner stage for pubic-hair and breast development. Geometric mean lead concentrations were less than 3 mu g per deciliter (0.144 mu mol per liter) in all three groups. As compared with concentrations of 1 mu g per deciliter (0.048 mu mol per liter), lead concentrations of 3 mu g per deciliter were associated with decreased height (P<0.001), after adjustment for age, race, and other factors, but not with body-mass index or weight. Blood lead concentrations of 3 mu g per deciliter were associated with significant delays in breast and pubic-hair development in African-American and Mexican-American girls. The delays were most marked among African-American girls; in this group, the delays in reaching Tanner stages 2, 3, 4, and 5 associated with a lead concentration of 3 mu g per deciliter as compared with 1 mu g per deciliter were 3.8, 5.3, 5.8, and 2.1 months, respectively, for breast development and 4.0, 5.5, 6.0, and 2.2 months, respectively, for pubic-hair development; the associated delay in age at menarche was 3.6 months. In white girls, there were nonsignificant delays in all pubertal measures in association with a lead concentration of 3 mu g per deciliter. These data suggest that environmental exposure to lead may delay growth and pubertal development in girls, although confirmation is warranted in prospective studies.

AN - 73177569; 12694944 AB - Immunohistochemical expression in the neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum of the alpha(1A) or alpha(1E) subunit of the voltage-sensitive Ca(2+) channel was examined in Long-Evans hooded rats on gestational day 18 and postnatal days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 90, 360 and 720. On gestational day 18 and postnatal day 1, alpha(1A) immunoreactivity was more dense in the neocortex and hippocampus than the cerebellum. By postnatal day 7, levels of alpha(1A) immunoreactivity increased dramatically in the cerebellum, while in neocortex, alpha(1A) immunoreactivity became more sparse, which approached the more diffuse pattern of cellular staining in the mature brain. Expression of alpha(1E) in the neocortex, hippocampus and cerebellum was much less dense than alpha(1A) between gestational day 18 and postnatal day 4. There was also significant alpha(1E) immunoreactivity in the mossy fibers of the hippocampus and in dendrites of Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. Depolarization-dependent 45Ca(2+) influx was examined in rat brain synaptosomes on postnatal days 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and >60. In neocortical and hippocampal synaptosomes, 45Ca(2+) influx increased steadily with age and reached adult levels by postnatal day 10. In cerebellar synaptosomes, 45Ca(2+) influx was constant across all ages, except for a spike in activity which was observed on postnatal day 21. In neocortical and hippocampal synaptosomes, 100 nM omega-conotoxin MVIIC significantly inhibited 45Ca(2+) influx on postnatal day 10 and 14, respectively, or after. In cerebellar synaptosomes, influx was inhibited by omega-conotoxin MVIIC only on postnatal day 10 or prior. On postnatal day 7, 45Ca(2+) influx was not inhibited in neocortical and hippocampal synaptosomes by a combination of 10 microM nifedipine, 1 microM omega-conotoxin GVIA and 1 microM omega-conotoxin MVIIC, suggesting that an 'insensitive' flux predominates at this age. Overall, the results suggest that expression of voltage-sensitive Ca(2+) channels during development is dynamic and is important in central nervous system development. JF - Brain research.

AN - 73180453; 12676466 AB - The widely accepted notion that certain individuals are more susceptible to air pollutants than others has been revitalized by recent epidemiology that strongly suggests that the elderly, particularly those with underlying cardiopulmonary diseases (e.g. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), infection), and children with asthma are more susceptible to the adverse outcomes associated with ambient particulate matter (PM). Pulmonary toxicologists have adopted 'susceptibility' as an issue that can be approached experimentally and have begun to develop as well as study more relevant animal models. These models may have specific genetic traits or cardiopulmonary impairments analogous to human diseases. The goal is to identify potential susceptibility characteristics and elucidate whether responsiveness is due to impair compensation or some unique mechanisms. Several rodent models have been used with PM: pulmonary vasculitis, bronchitis, COPD, allergic asthma, infectious lung diseases, systemic hypertension, and congestive heart disease. Transgenic and knockout mice are of growing interest but have seen limited use in air pollutants studies, with primary interest being directed to specific mechanistic questions. No model should be used without careful consideration of its strengths and limitations. However, when interpreted in the context of field and epidemiology findings, they may reveal generic susceptibility attributes or useful biomarkers.

AN - 73105747; 12635000 AB - An original mathematical model describing particle diffusion in human nasal passages is presented. A unique feature of the model is that it combines effects of both turbulent and laminar flows. To account for turbulence, concentration equations written in cylindrical coordinates are first simplified by a scaling technique and then solved analytically based on momentum/mass transfer analogy. To describe laminar motion, the work of Martonen et al. (1995a) is modified for application to nasal passages. The predictions of the new model agree well with particle deposition data from experiments using human replica nasal casts over a wide range of flow rates (4-30 L/min) and particle sizes (0.001-0.1 micro m). The results of our study suggest that a complex fluid dynamics situation involving a natural transition from laminar to turbulent motion may exist within human nasal passages during inspiration. The model may be used to predict deposition efficiencies of inhaled particles for inhalation toxicology (e.g., the risk assessment of air pollutants) and aerosol therapy (e.g., the treatment of lung diseases) applications.

One important form of disturbance is wave action associated with strong winds. Total fish abundance and species richness from seagrass beds at 2 sites in Port Phillip Bay, Australia, were sampled during low and high wave disturbance. During high wave action (>0.25 m) in seagrass beds, abundance of fish at one site decreased significantly, but species richness was unaffected at both sites. Plankton sampling conducted at the same time as seagrass sampling (directly 300 m offshore from the seagrass sites) found that species richness significantly increased during high wave conditions at both sites. Total fish abundance similarly increased in the plankton during high wave conditions at one site. We conclude that variation in assemblage structure during increased physical disturbance is related to variation in a small number of numerically dominant species within the assemblage. At the individual taxon level, numerically dominant species in the seagrass and plankton showed considerable variation in response to disturbance. In the seagrass assemblage, post-larval King George whiting Sillaginodes punctata (Cuvier and Valenciennes), adult weedfish Heteroclinus perspicillatus (Cuvier and Valenciennes), and pipefish juveniles and adults from the genus Stigmatopora decreased in abundance at either one or both sites during high wave conditions. Conversely, in the plankton, adult pipefish Hypelognathus rostratus (Waite and Hale), juvenile Stigmatopora and larval Gymnapistes marmoratus (Cuvier and Valenciennes) significantly increased in abundance during these same physical conditions. It appears that for some taxa physical disturbance may facilitate secondary planktonic dispersal.

At vent sites along the East Pacific Rise, histological analyses of gonads from adult female crabs collected in November 1997, May 1999 and May 2000 provide strong evidence that B. thermydron undergoes a seasonal cycle of reproductive activity, with egg hatching peaking in April-May. Females undergo a synchronous pattern of oocyte development, whereby one cohort of oocytes undergoes vitellogenesis, while a second cohort is present and remains immature until the initial cohort reaches full maturity and is extruded onto the pleopods. When mean oocyte-size-frequency distributions were compared across months, the 2 May samples were similar to each other, with a dominance of previtellogenic oocytes and a second, smaller group of vitellogenic oocytes also present. In contrast, the November sample exhibited a wide variety of oocyte sizes, with no one size class predominating. In addition, May samples from the vent periphery contained a high proportion of females that showed evidence of recent egg hatching, while females collected from the region near the vent orifice exhibited a wide range of the intermediate stages of gonadal development. This set of data suggests an annual cycle whereby a given cohort of oocytes is in a previtellogenic state in early spring (April-May), but has begun vitellogenesis by late autumn (November) and has developed to maximum maturity by the time the eggs are extruded the following spring. While the current clutch of eggs is being brooded, a second cohort of previtellogenic oocytes begins to develop in the ovary and the cycle is repeated. Superimposed on this annual cycle is a pattern of behavior whereby females with mature gonads migrate to the vent periphery where fertilized eggs are extruded, brooded, and hatched.

The emissions contain 81% organic matter, of which 43% is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Exposure assessment and molecular analysis of the lung tumors from nonsmoking women who use smoky coal strongly indicate that PAHs in the emissions are a primary cause of the elevated lung cancer in this population. Here we have determined the mutation spectra of an extract of smoky coal emissions in Salmonella TA98 and TA100; the extract was not mutagenic in TA104. The extract was 8.7 more mutagenic in TA100 with S9 than without (8.7rev/ mu g versus 1.0rev/ mu g) and was >3 more mutagenic in TA100 than in TA98-consistent with a prominent role for PAHs in the mutagenicity of the extract because PAHs are generally more mutagenic in the base-substitution strain TA100 than in the frameshift strain TA98. The extract induced only a hotspot mutation in TA98; another combustion emission, cigarette smoke condensate (CSC), also induces this single class of mutation. In TA100, the mutation spectra of the extract were not significantly different in the presence or absence of S9 and were primarily (78-86%) GCTA transversions. This mutation is induced to a similar extent by CSC (78%) and the PAH benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) (77%). The frequency of GCTA transversions induced in Salmonella by the extract (78-86%) is similar to the frequency of this mutation in the TP53 (76%) and KRAS (86%) genes of lung tumors from nonsmoking women exposed to smoky coal emissions. The mutation spectra of the extract reflect the presence of PAHs in the mixture and support a role for PAHs in the induction of the mutations and tumors due to exposure to smoky coal emissions.

AN - 75757479; 14531475 AB - Exposures to complex mixtures of metals in the workplace or environment are more likely to occur than exposures to a single metal alone. The evidence shows that exposures to complex metal mixtures can enhance the risk of cancer in certain human populations. The findings of several studies have suggested, however, that certain metal-metal interactions can inhibit carcinogenic activity. The mechanisms of metal-metal interactions in human carcinogenesis are relatively unknown. Metals represent a highly diverse group of agents: each metal can act through different mechanisms and in one or more steps of the carcinogenic process. Some potential mechanisms may involve direct reactions of the metal with DNA or indirect mechanisms that include modification of DNA repair, DNA methylation status, and metabolic processes involved in DNA replication and expression. Lipid peroxidation and the generation of free radicals induced by certain metals can affect DNA integrity. This review will address the role of metals in carcinogenesis and how concomitant exposure to metal mixtures can influence cancer induction. The most current mechanistic data regarding metal interactions and its implications in human carcinogenesis will be discussed. Furthermore, research gaps will be identified to provide data that will improve risk assessments for complex metal mixtures encountered in the workplace and environment.

AN - 73170517; 12676588 AB - Developing organisms have increased susceptibility to cancer if they are exposed to environmental toxicants during rapid growth and differentiation. Human studies have demonstrated clear increases in cancer after prenatal exposure to ionizing radiation, and there is suggestive evidence that brain tumors and leukemia are associated with parental exposures to chemicals. Animal experiments have demonstrated increased tumor formation induced by prenatal or neonatal exposure to a variety of chemicals, including direct-acting carcinogens and drugs. Recently, natural estrogens have been classified as known human carcinogens. Prenatal exposure to natural and synthetic estrogens is associated with increases in breast and vaginal tumors in humans as well as uterine tumors in animals. Synthetic halogenated chemicals increase liver tumors after early life-stage exposure. Recently, a prototypical endocrine-disrupting compound, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, has been shown to be a developmental toxicant of the mammary gland in rodents. Dioxin alters multiple endocrine systems, and its effects on the developing breast involve delayed proliferation and differentiation of the mammary gland, as well as an elongation of the window of sensitivity to potential carcinogens. Implications of these new findings suggest that causes of endocrine-related cancers or susceptibility to cancer may be a result of developmental exposures rather than exposures existing at or near the time of tumor detection.

In this article, we propose a framework for a new cohort study of children, with follow-up beginning before birth and continuing to age 21 years. We also describe the administrative structure that has been built to develop the proposal further. The structure includes a partnership between federal and nonfederal scientists and relies on a collaborative, interdisciplinary research effort of unprecedented scale in medical research. We discuss briefly how the proposed cohort could be used to examine, among many other things, the effect of chemical contaminants in breast milk on children's health and development.

AN - 73031103; 12586150 AB - Due to uncertainties as to appropriate procedures and dilution materials, most sediment tests are conducted only with undiluted, whole samples. Hence, it is not possible to use conventional concentration-response approaches to quantify toxicity of samples that elicit a 100% effect (e.g., mortality) at a preset test interval (typically 10 d). An alternative approach to quantifying the relative toxicity of test sediments is to determine time-to-effects. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of a time-to-effects approach for quantifying toxicity of freshwater sediments to the invertebrates Hyalella azteca and Chironomus tentans. Survival of both species and growth of C. tentans was determined using five sediments (four test samples and a control sediment) by destructively sampling replicate test chambers over the course of a "standard" 10-d assay. Studies with the control sediment and a non-toxic test sample indicated excellent recovery of test animals, even early in the test (e.g., <24 h) when individuals of both species are relatively small. Reasonable, typically monotonic, time-to-death relationships were observed for both H. azteca and C. tentans exposed to three comparatively toxic test sediments, all of which caused significant mortality by 10 d. Use of the time-to-effects approach allowed expression of toxicity of the three samples relative to one another, as well as documentation of decreases in toxicity of one of the sediments with increased storage time. These studies demonstrate the feasibility of use of time-to-effects as a basis for quantifying the relative toxicity of contaminated sediments.

The research presented includes studies of the causes of sewer solids deposition and development/evaluation of control methods that can prevent sewer-sediment accumulation. Discussions focus on the relationship of wastewater characteristics to flow-carrying velocity, abatement of solids deposition and solids resuspension in sewers, and sewerline flushing systems for removal of sewer sediment. Methods for abating sewer sedimentation include steeper sewer slope, pipe bottom shapes that maintain high velocity during low-flow conditions, and periodic sewer flushing. The future research program plan for sewer-sediment control is also presented.

Because Koolau subaerial shield lavas represent a Hawaiian geochemical 'endmember', and submarine shield lavas have compositions with some affinities to Mauna Loa and Kilauea, we analyzed 28 xenolithic basalts from Salt Lake and Koko Head cones to establish how these seemingly random samplings of the Koolau profile compare to established Koolau geochemistry. Analyses reveal that 24 are shield tholeiitic basalt and four are rejuvenated-stage basaltic rocks. Highlights include that the rejuvenated-stage tuffaceous eruptions entrained largely upper Koolau shield lavas, as the tholeiitic basalt samples (8.3 to 5.8 wt.% MgO) have, with one exception, overall compositions that overlap those of Koolau subaerial lavas. There are some distinctions, however, from secondary effects -- namely, enrichments/depletions in K, Ba, Sr, SiO2, and FeO, and, due to zeolitization (chabazite with attending okenite and apophyllite), elevated CaO. One xenolithic basalt with 8.2 wt.% MgO has higher Ti, Zr, Nb, and Sc, and lower Zr/Nb than subaerial lavas, and appears to represent relatively early, deeper shield -- thereby reinforcing that the Koolau shield source varied temporally. Olivine, orthopyroxene, and plagioclase are the phenocrysts (clinopyroxene is rare), and their core compositions range widely across the suite -- Fo87.8-77, opx Mg#s 85-72, and An74-60. Several xenolithic basalts have both normally and reversely zoned orthopyroxene and plagioclase grains with a variety of core compositions (e.g., opx-core Mg#s 82, 77, and 72, all in one sample). These compositions and zonations record evidence for wide compositional ranges of replenishment (MgO approximately 13-8 wt.%) and reservoir (MgO approximately 7 to <5 wt.%) magmas mixing in varying volumetric proportions, from preponderances to minor relative amounts of each type; however, extreme MgO lavas ( approximately 13 and <5 wt.%) are not observed as either subaerial or xenolithic basalt, but are indicated by phenocryst cores of Fo87.8 and opx-Mg# 72. The Koolau magma-mixing history resembles that of Kilauea, and is unlike the 'steady-state' mixing known for Mauna Loa. Finally, these basalt samples show that any xenolithic occurrence of Koolau lava is subject to the zeolitization prevalent in the tuff-cone hosts.

A biphasic pattern was observed in the relationship between the log of the carbon-normalized sorption distribution coefficient (K sub(oc)) and the volumetric fraction of water-miscible cosolvent (f sub(c)), in this case methanol, that was accounted for with phenanthrene solubility data. Results also indicated that methanol elicited additional effects on phenanthrene sorption beyond the solution phase effects. The level of f sub(c) was observed to have a significant effect on sorption-desorption hysteresis, with hysteresis being greater for treatments where phenanthrene and sediment were equilibrated with methanol-phenanthrene solutions but desorbed with aqueous solutions. These results are discussed in light of the deformable pore network of the rubbery/glassy NOM polymer construct.

Rainbow trout hepatoma cells (RTH 149) incubated at 11 or 18 not equal to were cotransfected with an estrogen-responsive luciferase reporter plasmid and a plasmid containing a constitutively expressed rainbow trout estrogen receptor. The RTH-149 cells were then exposed to estradiol, with samples collected at 24-h intervals. The 72-h effective concentration for 50% maximal response (EC50) for estrogen-responsive luciferase activity at 11 not equal to was 3.8 x 10 super(-9) M and 7.4 x 10 super(-10) M at 18 not equal to . The efficacy of estradiol was lower at 11 not equal to . The maximal response to estradiol in cells at 11 not equal to was generally two- to threefold greater than controls (mean = 2.6- fold), whereas the maximal response at 18 not equal to was three- to fourfold greater than controls (mean = 3.2-fold). Ethinylestradiol, a strong estrogen receptor agonist, was similar to estradiol in potency (relative potency = 0.8) and efficacy at the two temperatures. The EC50 of the weak estrogen receptor agonist 4-tert- pentylphenol was 7.6 x 10 super(-7) M at 11 not equal to and 6.9 x 10 super(-7) M at 18 not equal to ; its potency relative to 17 beta - estradiol was not significantly different at the two temperatures, 0.00036 and 0.00054 at 11 not equal to and 18 not equal to , respectively. The estrogen-responsive reporter gene activity produced by 10 super(-8) M estradiol was completely inhibited by the two estrogen hormone receptor antagonists, ZM 189,154 and ICI 182,780, at 10 super(-6) M concentration of either antagonist. Although there may be slight differences in responses between the two temperatures tested here, this assay can be used to effectively determine the relative estrogenic activity of chemicals within the physiological temperature range of rainbow trout.

The resulting lack of submitted data has fostered the development of estimation methods, and the BioWIN models for predicting biodegradability from chemical structure have played a prominent role in premanufacture notice (PMN) review. Until now, validation efforts have used only the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) test data and have not included all models. To assess BioWIN performance with PMN substances, we assembled a database of PMNs for which ready biodegradation data had been submitted over the period 1995 through 2001. The 305 PMN structures are highly varied and pose major challenges to chemical property estimation. Despite the variability of ready biodegradation tests, the use of at least six different test methods, and widely varying quality of submitted data, accuracy of four of six BioWIN models (MITI linear, MITI nonlinear, survey ultimate, survey primary) was in the 80+% range for predicting ready biodegradability. Greater accuracy (>90%) can be achieved by using model estimates only when the four models agree (true for 3/4 of the PMNs). The BioWIN linear and nonlinear probability models did not perform as well even when classification criteria were optimized. The results suggest that the MITI and survey BioWIN models are suitable for use in screening-level applications.

In mammals, part of the toxicity assessment usually includes monitoring blood and/or brain acetylcholinesterase inhibition. Other tissues, however, contain cholinesterase activity (i.e. acetyl- and butyryl-cholinesterase), and the inhibition of that activity may be informative for a full appraisal of the toxicity profile. The present group of studies first optimized the variables for extraction and solubilization of cholinesterase activity from various rat tissues and then refined an existing automated method, in order to differentially assess acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase activity in those tissues. All these studies were conducted using tissues from untreated, Long-Evans, adult rats. The first studies determined the effect of Triton X-100 or salt (NaCl) on the extraction and solubilization of cholinesterase activity from retina, brain, striated muscle, diaphragm, and heart: phosphate buffer plus detergent (1% Triton X-100) yielded the highest activity for most tissues. For striated muscle, however, slightly more activity was extracted if the phosphate buffer contained both 1% Triton X-100 and 0.5 M NaCl. It was also noted that the degree of homogenization of some tissues (e.g. striated muscle) must be increased for maximal solubilization of all cholinesterase activity. Subsequent studies developed a method for assessing the level of acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and total cholinesterase activity in these tissues using an automated analyzer. In conclusion, automated assay of acetylcholinesterase activity in cholinergically innervated tissues in the rat (other than brain) is achievable and relatively convenient.

In this study, we sought to determine how soluble components in CAPS contributed to these changes. We expanded and reanalyzed data from 37 young healthy volunteers from a previous study (Ghio et al., 2000) who were exposed to either filtered air or CAPS. Post-exposure bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) as well as pre- and post-exposure venous blood samples was analyzed for cellular and acute inflammatory endpoints. Nine most abundant components in the water-soluble fraction of CAPS were correlated with these endpoints using principal component analysis. We found that a sulfate/Fe/Se factor was associated with increased BAL percentage of neutrophils and a Cu/Zn/V factor with increased blood fibrinogen. The concentrations of sulfate, Fe, and Se correlated highly with PM mass (R > 0.75) while the correlations between PM and Cu/Zn/V were modest (R = 0.2-0.6). These results from controlled human exposure linked specific PM components to pulmonary neutrolphil influx and blood fibrinogen increases, and indicated the soluble components of pollutant particles may differentially affect pulmonary and hematological systems in humans exposed to PM.

However, rarely does model calibration result in a unique parameter set. Parameter nonuniqueness can lead to predictive nonuniqueness. The extent of model predictive uncertainty should be investigated if management decisions are to be based on model projections. Using models built for four neighboring watersheds in the Neuse River Basin of North Carolina, the application of the automated parameter optimization software PEST in conjunction with the Hydrologic Simulation Program Fortran (HSPF) is demonstrated. Parameter nonuniqueness is illustrated, and a method is presented for calculating many different sets of parameters, all of which acceptably calibrate a watershed model. A regularization methodology is discussed in which models for similar watersheds can be calibrated simultaneously. Using this method, parameter differences between watershed models can be minimized while maintaining fit between model outputs and field observations. In recognition of the fact that parameter nonuniqueness and predictive uncertainty are inherent to the modeling process, PEST's non-linear predictive analysis functionality is then used to explore the extent of model predictive uncertainty.

The red-spotted toad (Bufo punctatus) in the southwestern United States and Mexico commonly inhabits wetlands that have become much smaller and fewer since the late Pleistocene. This study tests two predictions based on metapopulation theory, that the incidence of habitat patch occupancy is directly related to patch size and that it is inversely related to patch isolation, and a third, potentially competing hypothesis, that patch occupancy is influenced by local environmental conditions. In a 20,000 km super(2) area of the eastern Mojave Desert, 128 potential habitat patches (primarily springs) were identified and surveyed for local environmental characteristics and presence/absence of B. punctatus. Patch size metrics reflected extent of water and riparian vegetation of several types. Patch isolation metrics were based on nearest-neighbor distances, calculated both as Euclidian distance and distance via connecting drainage channels. B. punctatus was found at 73% of the sites, including all of the 16 historic (pre-1970) sites. Patches were generally quite small, with water extending a median distance of only 200 m and median area of 72 m super(2). Median nearest-neighbor distances among patches were 1.8 km Euclidian distance (range: 0.4-22.0 km) and 6.8 km via drainage channels (range: 0.5-64.9 km). Based on stepwise multiple logistic regression, the incidence of patch occupancy increased significantly with patch size and was also significantly related to elevation, latitude, and four metrics that were associated with rocky terrain, periodic scouring water flows, and ephemeral water. In contrast, incidence of patch occupancy was not significantly related to patch isolation. These findings are consistent with a "patchy population" model, rather than the classical equilibrium metapopulation model, implying frequent dispersal among patches and virtually no local extinctions. We speculate that B. punctatus in the Mojave Desert today occurs primarily in a patchy population or populations within mountain ranges that are isolated from patchy populations in other ranges. The influence of local environmental characteristics on patch occupancy demonstrates the importance of including patch quality metrics in tests of predictions for patch occupancy based on metapopulation theory.

We review the current state of scientific understanding regarding three frequently mentioned geophysical catastrophes, with a view toward their implications for integrated assessment modeling. This review finds inadequacies in widespread model assumptions regarding the nature of catastrophes themselves and climate change impacts more generally. The possibility of greatly postponed consequences from near- and medium-term actions suggests that standard discounting practices are inappropriate for the analysis of climate catastrophe. Careful consideration of paleoclimate and geophysical modeling evidence regarding the possibility of changes in ocean circulation suggests a reframing of the source of climate change damages in economic models, placing changes in climate predictability, rather than gradual changes in mean values, at the focus of economic damage assessments. The implications of decreases in predictability for the modeling of adaptation are further discussed.

We previously demonstrated AR antagonist activity of the organophosphate (OP) pesticide fenitrothion. In this study, we characterized AR activity of analogues of fenitrothion to probe the structural requirements for AR activity among related chemicals. AR activity was measured using HepG2 human hepatoma cells transfected with human AR plus an androgen-responsive luciferase reporter gene, MMTV-luc. AR antagonist activity decreased as alkyl chain length of the phosphoester increased, whereas electron-donating properties of phenyl substituents of the tested compounds did not influence AR activity. Oxon derivatives of fenitrothion, which are more likely to undergo hydrolytic degradation, had no detectable AR antagonist activity. Molecular modeling results suggest that hydrogen-bond energies and the maximum achievable interatomic distance between two terminal H-bond capable sites may influence both the potential to interact with the AR and the nature of the interaction (agonist vs. antagonist) within this series of chemicals. This hypothesis is supported by the results of recent AR homology modeling and crystallographic studies relative to agonist- and antagonist-bound AR complexes. The present results are placed in the context of structure-activity knowledge derived from previous modeling studies as well as studies aimed toward designing nonsteroidal antiandrogen pharmaceuticals. Present results extend understanding of the structural requirements for AR activity to a new class of nonsteroidal, environmental, OP-related chemicals.

In this paper, the correlation of U.S. county mortality rates for various types of cancers during the period 1970-1994 with Cohen's radon measurements is examined. In general, quantitatively similar, strongly negative correlations are found for cancers strongly linked to cigarette smoking, weaker negative correlations are found for cancers moderately increased by smoking, whereas no such correlation is found for cancers not linked to smoking. The results indicate that the negative trend previously reported for lung cancer can be largely accounted for by a negative correlation between smoking and radon levels across counties.

The MTBE degradation rates observed in a laminar falling film photocatalytic reactor for synthetic samples, with concentrations ranging from 50 mu g/L to 1 mg/L, were high, achieving nearly complete degradation of 1 mg/L MTBE and its byproducts in less than 120 minutes. The calculated single-pass conversions were as high as 60%, corresponding to residence times of approximately 5 seconds in the falling film reactor. The observed degradation products of MTBE oxidation were predominantly terti-butyl alcohol (TBA) and terti-butyl formate (TBF). However, tests conducted using groundwater samples showed significantly reduced photoactivity of TiO sub(2) towards the degradation of MTBE. Aromatic species and dissolved metal and chloride ions present in the field samples compete with MTBE and molecular oxygen on the TiO sub(2) surface, and hence delay and retard MTBE degradation.

This analysis focused on reach scale heterogeneity in water temperatures as influenced by local influx of cooler subsurface waters. Using field thermal probes and recording thermistors, we identified and characterized cold water patches (at least 3 degree C colder than ambient streamflow temperatures) potentially serving as thermal refugia for cold water fishes. Among 37 study sites within alluvial valleys of the Grande Ronde basin in northeastern Oregon, we identified cold water patches associated with side channels, alcoves, lateral seeps, and floodplain spring brooks. These types differed with regard to within floodplain position, area, spatial thermal range, substrate, and availability of cover for fish. Experimental shading cooled daily maximum temperatures of surface waters within cold water patches 2 to 4 degree C, indicating a strong influence of riparian vegetation on the expression of cold water patch thermal characteristics. Strong vertical temperature gradients associated with heating of surface layers of cold water patches exposed to solar radiation, superimposed upon vertical gradients in dissolved oxygen, can partially restrict suitable refuge volumes for stream salmonids within cold water patches.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Importance of chlorine speciation on de novo formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans. AN - 73173080; 12680662 AB - The role of chlorine speciation on de novo formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs) has been studied thoroughly in an entrained flow reactor during simulated waste combustion. The effects of gas-phase chlorine species such as chlorine (Cl2), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and chlorine radicals (Cl*), as well as ash-bound chlorine, on PCDD/F de novo formation were isolated for investigation. The ash-bound chlorine alone was observed to be a sufficient chlorine source for PCDD/F formation. The addition of HCl to the system did not influence the yields of the PCDDs/Fs nor the degree of chlorination due to its poor chlorinating ability. Addition of 200 ppm of Cl2 to the ash-feed system resulted in increased PCDD/F yields, especially for the octa- and hepta-chlorinated congeners. Altering the reaction temperature to enable the presence of only Cl2 to the system did not change the yields of PCDD/F compared to those when both Cl2/Cl* were present. However, comparison between ash-bound and gas-phase chlorine, the latter at a concentration typical of a realistic combustion process, revealed ash-bound chlorine to be the more important chlorine source for de novo formation of PCDD/F in a full-scale incinerator.

AN - 73139418; 12661691 AB - The multivariate receptor model Unmix has been used to analyze a 3-yr PM2.5 ambient aerosol data set collected in Phoenix, AZ, beginning in 1995. The analysis generated source profiles and overall average percentage source contribution estimates (SCEs) for five source categories:gasoline engines (33 +/- 4%), diesel engines (16 +/- 2%), secondary SO4(2-) (19 +/- 2%), crustal/soil (22 +/- 2%), and vegetative burning (10 +/- 2%). The Unmix analysis was supplemented with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of a limited number of filter samples for information on possible additional low-strength sources. Except for the diesel engine source category, the Unmix SCEs were generally consistent with an earlier multivariate receptor analysis of essentially the same data using the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model. This article provides the first demonstration for an urban area of the capability of the Unmix receptor model.

AN - 73132826; 12661689 AB - Cloud water deposition was estimated at three high-elevation sites in the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States (Whiteface Mountain, NY; Whitetop Mountain, VA; and Clingman's Dome, TN) from 1994 through 1999 as part of the Mountain Acid Deposition Program (MADPro). This paper provides a summary of cloud water chemistry, cloud liquid water content, cloud frequency, estimates of cloud water deposition of sulfur and nitrogen species, and estimates of total deposition of sulfur and nitrogen at these sites. Other cloud studies in the Appalachians and their comparison to MADPro are also summarized. Whiteface Mountain exhibited the lowest mean and median concentrations of sulfur and nitrogen ions in cloud water, while Clingman's Dome exhibited the highest mean and median concentrations. This geographic gradient is partly an effect of the different meteorological conditions experienced at northern versus southern sites in addition to the difference in pollution content of air masses reaching the sites. All sites measured seasonal cloud water deposition rates of SO4(2-) greater than 50 kg/ha and NO3(-) rates of greater than 25 kg/ha. These high-elevation sites experienced additional deposition loading of SO4(2-) and NO3(-) on the order of 6-20 times greater compared with lower elevation Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNet) sites. Approximately 80-90% of this extra loading is from cloud deposition.

AN - 73120801; 12651193 AB - The application of biochemical measurements that can be used as individual biomarkers of impaired biological function in invertebrates is reviewed to evaluate whether biochemical biomarkers of aquatic invertebrates can predict changes in natural populations. Biomarkers that measure toxic effects at the molecular level (e.g., the inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase activity by organophosphorus pesticides) have been shown to provide rapid quantitative predictions of a toxic effect upon individuals in laboratory studies. Such biomarkers should not be used as a replacement for conventional aquatic monitoring techniques, but should be applied as supplementary approaches for demonstrating links between sublethal biochemical and adverse effects in natural populations in field studies. The research challenge for using biomarker measurements in aquatic invertebrates is to predict effects at the population level from effects at the individual level measured upon individuals collected in the field.

AN - 73120310; 12643982 AB - When chlorine is introduced into public drinking water for disinfection, it can react with organic compounds in surface waters to form toxic by-products such as 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2[5H]-furanone (MX). We investigated the effect of exposure to MX on cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1)-like activity and total glutathione (GSH) in the liver of the small fish model, medaka (Oryzias latipes). The multi-site carcinogen methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAMAc) was the positive control compound. Both medaka liver microsome preparations and S-9 fractions catalyzed the hydroxylation of p-nitrophenol (PNP), suggesting CYP2E1-like activity in the medaka. Male medaka exposed for 96 h to the CYP2E1 inducers ethanol and acetone under fasted conditions showed significant increases in PNP-hydroxylation activity. Furthermore, total reduced hepatic GSH was reduced in fish fasted for 96 h, indicating that normal feeding is a factor in maintaining xenobiotic defenses. Exposure to MX and MAMAc induced significant increases in hepatic CYP2E1-like activity, however MX exposure did not alter hepatic GSH levels.

AN - 73097532; 12644181 AB - In trying to decide what type of scientific paper I could prepare as a tribute to Jim Neel, I thought back over the discussions that we had over some 25 years. Sometimes these discussions were on specific topics such as how to extrapolate from mutation data in mice to those for humans following radiation or chemical exposures. On other occasions, our discussions were of a more philosophical nature, particularly on where the field of epidemiology might or needed to go. For example, what types of data are needed for assessing the public health impact of exposure to environmental agents. Perhaps because I enjoyed these discussions so much, I have chosen to take a look from a current perspective at the field of molecular epidemiology. Jim Neel would have loved to have entered into this discussion; he would have enhanced it in is own inimitable way.

AN - 73095876; 12644186 AB - Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is a major by-product of water disinfection by chlorination. Several studies have demonstrated that DCA exhibits hepatocarcinogenic effects in rodents when administered in drinking water. This chemical does not appear to be highly mutagenic, and the mechanism(s) involved in DCA induction of cancer are not clear. The present work was aimed at identifying changes in gene expression which may indicate critical alterations/pathways involved in this chemical's carcinogenic activities. We used cDNA microarray methods for analyses of gene expression in livers of mice treated with the tumorigenic dose of 2 g/l DCA in drinking water for 4 weeks. Total RNA samples obtained from livers of the control and DCA-treated mice were evaluated for gene expression patterns with Clontech Atlas Mouse 1.2 cDNA and Atlas mouse stress/toxicology arrays, and the data analyzed with AtlasImage 2.01 and one-way ANOVA in JMP4 software. From replicate experiments, we identified 24 genes with altered expression, of which 15 were confirmed by Northern blot analysis. Of the 15 genes, 14 revealed expression suppressed two- to five-fold; they included the following: MHR 23A, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C29, CYP 3A11, serum paraoxonase/arylesterase 1 (PON 1), liver carboxylesterase, alpha-1 antitrypsin, ER p72, glutathione S-transferase (GST) Pi 1, angiogenin, vitronectin precursor, cathepsin D (CTSD), plasminogen precursor (contains angiostatin), prothrombin precursor and integrin alpha 3 precursor (ITGA 3). An additional gene, CYP 2A4/5, had a two-fold elevation in expression. Further, in ancillary Northern analyses of total RNA isolated from DCA-induced hepatocellular carcinomas (from earlier reported studies of mice treated with 3.5 g/l DCA for 93 weeks), many of the same genes (11 of 15) noted above showed a similar alteration in expression. In summary, we have identified specific genes involved in the functional categories of cell growth, tissue remodeling, apoptosis, cancer progression and xenobiotic metabolism that have altered levels of expression following exposures to DCA. These findings serve to highlight new pathways in which to further probe DCA effects that may be critical to its tumorigenic activity.

AN - 73067816; 12606291 AB - Our previous structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies indicated that the effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on neuronal Ca(2+) homeostasis and protein kinase C (PKC) translocation were associated with the extent of coplanarity. Chlorine substitutions at ortho position on the biphenyl, which increase the non-coplanarity, are characteristic of the most active congeners in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the effects of selected hydroxylated PCBs, which are major PCB metabolites identified in mammals, on the same measures where PCBs had differential effects based on structural configuration. These measures include PKC translocation as determined by [3H]phorbol ester ([3H]PDBu) binding in cerebellar granule cells, and Ca(2+) sequestration as determined by 45Ca(2+) uptake by microsomes isolated from adult rat cerebellum. All the selected hydroxy-PCBs with ortho-chlorine substitutions increased [3H]PDBu binding in a concentration-dependent manner and the order of potency as determined by E(50) (concentration that increases control activity by 50%) is 2',4',6'-trichloro-4-biphenylol (32 +/- 4 microM), 2',5'-dichloro-4-biphenylol (70 +/- 9 microM), 2,2',4',5,5'-pentachloro-4-biphenylol (80 +/- 7 microM) and 2,2',5'-trichloro-4-biphenylol (93 +/- 14 microM). All the selected hydroxy-PCBs inhibited microsomal 45Ca(2+) uptake to a different extent. Among the hydroxy-PCBs selected, 2',4',6'-trichloro-4-biphenylol is the most active in increasing [3H]PDBu binding as well as inhibiting microsomal 45Ca(2+) uptake. 3,5-Dichloro-4-biphenylol and 3,4',5-trichloro-4-biphenylol did not increase [3H]PDBu binding, but inhibited microsomal 45Ca(2+) uptake. This effect was not related to ionization of these two hydroxy-PCBs. Hydroxylated PCBs seemed to be as active as parent PCBs in vitro. These studies indicate that PCB metabolites such as hydroxy-PCBs might contribute significantly to the neurotoxic responses of PCBs.

AN - 73044214; 12602632 AB - We assessed relationships between environmental characteristics and macroinvertebrate assemblages in lotic habitats of California's Central Valley with community metric and multivariate statistical approaches. Using canonical ordination analyses, we contrasted results when assemblage structure was assessed with macroinvertebrate metrics, as suggested for use in indices of biotic integrity, or with genera abundances. Our objectives were to identify metrics or taxa diagnostic of lotic environmental stressors and compare the capacity of these approaches to detect stressors in order to suggest how they might be used to diagnose stressors. For macroinvertebrate metrics, redundancy analysis (RDA) extracted three axes correlated with channel morphology and substrates. For genera abundances, canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) extracted two axes correlated with soluble salts and with channel morphology and substrates but did not separate these gradients onto different axes. Cluster analyses identified five RDA and five CCA site groups, which exhibited differences for environmental variables, metrics, or genera abundances, and agreement between the analyses in partitioning of sites was greater than if sites were partitioned randomly. These approaches differ in their ability to detect environmental stressors, because they measure different aspects of assemblages and would be complementary in design of new metrics diagnostic of stressors.

The space-time distributions of rainfall are evaluated from the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), and overland flow is modeled as kinematic wave. The spatial distribution of rainfall shows a topographic control. The greatest rainfall depth, duration, and intensity occurred at the higher elevation mountain slopes and decreased with decreasing elevation from the alluvial fans to the piedmont plain. The alluvial fan-piedmont plain system is modeled by coupling divergent and rectangular overland flow planes. Explicit finite difference approximations, hybridized with the analytical method of characteristics, are made to the kinematic wave equations to account for the spatial and temporal distribution of the rainfall and variable boundary conditions. Simulation results indicate that sheet-flow floodwater elevations rise (1) in a nonlinear fashion from the apex to toe positions of the alluvial fans, and (2) near linearly from the toe positions of the alluvial fans onto the piedmont plains with the formation of kinematic shocks near the middle to the upstream end of the plane at times between the initiation of the rainstorm and the time of concentration of the plane. Thus, the maximum flooding occurs at the middle or upstream sections of the piedmont plains regardless of the pattern of space-time variability of rainfall. These results are in agreement with observed geomorphologic features suggesting that piedmont plains are naturally flood-prone areas. This case study demonstrates that flood hazards on piedmont plains can exceed those on alluvial fans. The models presented in this study suggest that the flood hazard zones on coupled alluvial fan-piedmont plain landforms should be delineated transverse to the flow directions, as opposed to the flood hazard zones with boundaries in the longitudinal direction of the axis of an alluvial fan.

Landfill leachate generated by excess water percolating through the waste layers is often associated with pollutants in the downgradient subsurface water. The discharge of landfill leachates into the groundwater system also strongly influences the chemistry of aquifers in the proximity of the landfills. The studied landfills are located within 2 municipalities along the New Hampshire border where elevated arsenic concentrations have been previously reported in the substrate soils overlying bedrock of the Merrimack Belt. The landfills are situated within the Wisconsinan-age deposits of Glacial Lake Nashua and its tributaries. Arsenic concentrations in groundwater collected from these sites range from 5.4 micrograms per liter (mu g/L) upgradient of the landfills up to over 4,200 mu g/L downgradient of the leachate plume. Iron concentrations have been observed reaching over 220,000 mu g/L and manganese concentrations have been observed over 9,200 mu g/L. High concentrations of dissolved metals are concurrent with low dissolved oxygen values, ORP values ranging from 339 millivolts to -64 millivolts, pH values ranging between 4.88 and 6.70, and specific conductance values ranging from 20 microsiemens per centimeter upgradient to 850 microsiemens per centimeter downgradient. Arsenic concentrations have been observed to show poor correlations with concentrations of sodium and chloride, suggesting a contribution from sources outside the landfills. Both sodium and chloride are landfill geochemical signatures indicating the contribution of the landfill leachates to ground water. Very high concentrations of arsenic correlate with increasing alkalinity and decreasing sulfate concentrations, suggesting a dependence of arsenic concentration on increasingly reductive environments. High arsenic, iron, and manganese concentrations under relatively anoxic conditions are likely a result of the reductive dissolution of iron and manganese hydroxide coatings on the surfaces of the substrate material.

New Bedford Harbor is in a highly industrialized area that has undergone severe degradation from a variety of sources for almost 400 years, and has been declared an EPA Superfund site. Halifax Harbour has been subjected mostly to domestic, rather than industrial, pollution since the founding of the city in 1749. Although many geochemical studies have been done in both estuaries, there are little baseline data on the biota. In this paper we use benthic foraminiferal assemblages retrieved from sediment cores to reconstruct the biotic changes of the recent past. It will then be possible to correlate faunal with already known geochemical changes. There are differences between these two sites both because New Bedford Harbor is shallower than Halifax Harbour and because of the different types of pollution. The character of the pollution has changed in New Bedford Harbor as remediation efforts are taking hold. This change can also be detected with the foraminifera. One interesting outcome is that deformities among one species of foraminifera, Haynesina orbiculare, appear to occur simultaneously with high PCBs in the sediments. In Halifax Harbour, where the largest impact is due to high organic input from domestic sources, species tolerant of low oxygen conditions are most prominent at present. Core studies show that prior to the rapid growth of Halifax (in the 1960s) the organic input was much lower than at present.

Arsenic concentrations within the overburden (10 to 1000 mg/kg) can pose a threat to the environment if and when the inert arsenic becomes mobilized by groundwater. Many landfills in this area, now capped and closed, were constructed in the past without a leachate collection system and are presently discharging their leachate into the subsurface system. Data from the long term post-closure monitoring of landfills and our data from five landfill sites show that arsenic is present in high levels, exceeding in some places 1000 micrograms per liter. A comprehensive effort was initiated to obtain a fully characterized set of data on 24 hydrogeochemical parameters of 60 samples collected from upgradient to directly downgradient of the five landfills. The database, augmented by data from a continuing longterm monitoring, indicates that reductive dissolution of hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) veneered surfaces is the most likely mechanism of arsenic release. We present data on dissolved organic carbon, dissolved inorganic carbon, arsenic, oxidation-reduction potential, pH, and specific conductance for 57 samples from five landfill sites to illustrate the role of carbon in the mechanism of reductive dissolution of HFO coatings. Total dissolved carbon varies from 4.9 ppm C to 164.6 ppm C, lower values being about equally divided between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). This ratio changes and becomes exclusively DIC at higher total C values. Arsenic above 100 ppb positively correlates with DIC in excess of 10 ppm C and negatively with ORP below 100 mV. Specific conductance rises to near 900 microSiemens and pH increases to neutral values at 7. These data suggests that landfill leachate enriched in organic carbon triggers a microbial activity near the discharge point into the groundwater system (DOC becomes DIC) creating a reducing environment that transforms HFO and other sorbed constituents into their soluble forms (increased specific conductance) which neutralize the pH to near neutral values.

This research studied a chronically PAH-contaminated estuarine sediment from the East River (ER; NY, USA) characterized by high concentrations of PAHs (-4-190 ppm), sulfide, and metals and a marine sediment from New York/New Jersey Harbor (NY/NJH; USA) with only trace quantities of PAHs (0.1-0.6 ppm). The focus was to examine the relationship between bioavailability of PAHs and their biological removal in a slurry system. Freshwater and marine sediment toxicity tests were conducted to measure baseline toxicity of both sediments to amphipods, aquatic worms, fathead and sheepshead minnow larvae, and a vascular plant; to determine the cause of toxicity; and to evaluate the effectiveness of the biotreatment strategies in reducing toxicity. Results showed the ER sediment was acutely toxic to all freshwater and marine organisms tested and that the toxicity was mainly caused by sulfide, PAHs, and metals present in the sediment. In spite of the high toxicity, most of the PAH compounds showed significant degradation in the aerobic sediment/water slurry system if the initial high oxygen demand due to the high sulfide content of the sediment was overcome. The removal of PAHs by biodegradation was closely related to their desorbed amount in 90% isopropanol solution during 24 h of contact, while the desorption of model PAH compounds from freshly spiked NY/NJH sediment did not describe the bioavailability of PAHs in the East River sediment well. The research improves our understanding of bioavailability as a controlling factor in bioremediation of PAHs and the potential of aerobic biodegradation for PAH removal and ecotoxicity reduction.

The cells were grown for two successive subcultures on semi-solid media, and subsequently in suspension culture with the same phosphorus levels. On semi-solid media, the fresh weight of the cells varied by a maximum of 36% through both subcultures. The 33mgL-1 phosphorus supplied in the original Gamborgs B5 media promoted the greatest fresh weight of the cells in suspension culture over all other concentrations tested. When grown in suspension culture with 0 and 11mgL-1 phosphorus, the cells showed a 42 and 29% reduction in fresh weight, respectively. Incubating the cells with 22 and 44mgL-1 phosphorus caused a 20 and 13% reduction in fresh weight, respectively. In addition, this study compared the phosphorus concentration of callus cells against literature-reported values of whole cattail plants incubated at similar phosphorus concentrations. Data from this study demonstrate that when the cattail callus cells and whole plants are exposed to similar phosphorus concentrations, the phosphorus concentration in the plant leaves is within the confidence interval (p<=0.05) of the phosphorus concentration in the cattail callus cells. This suggests that cattail callus cells can be used to predict the concentration of phosphorus in cattail leaves when they are supplied with similar phosphorus levels. If this relationship between callus cells and whole plants is found to be applicable to other marsh plant species, stormwater wetland managers can use callus cells as a rapid method to screen plants for their capacity to absorb phosphorus before the plant is established in a wetland. This can increase the effectiveness of the wetland to absorb unwanted pollutants from the stormwater entering the site.

In situ nutrient enrichment bioassays (n = 12) indicated that phytoplankton growth was limited by P in 33% of experiments, by both N and P in 25% of experiments and no limitation was found in 42%. The hypothesis that N or P limitation occurred when ambient N:P ratios were different from the Redfield ratio was supported in 33% of bioassay experiments, suggesting that ambient N:P ratios do not always correctly indicate if N or P is limiting. Grazing rates of the reservoir zooplankton (>150 mu m in size) ranged from 0.023-0.199 day super(-1) (mean: 0.078 day super(-1), n = 8). The grazing efficiency, as measured by a weight-specific clearance rate, ranged from 0.049-0.743 mL mu g dry wt super(-1) day super(-1), and was positively correlated with the relative biomass of Daphnia in the community. The nutrient-stimulated growth of phytoplankton ranged from 0.085-1.031 day super(-1) (mean: 0.461 day super(-1), n = 10). The effect of nutrient enrichment exceeded that of zooplankton grazing in 62% of experiments. Further study is necessary to understand a qualitative effect of nutrients and zooplankton grazing on the phytoplankton community structure in the Ben Chifley reservoir.

We compared two nearly adjacent reaches of third-order Mack Creek over the period 1978-1997 after virtually all wood was removed from the channel of the lower reach in 1964. We assessed the long-term legacy of wood removal using repeated cross-section surveys, streamflow data, LWD inventory data, and detailed mapping and longitudinal profile surveys. At each of 11 cross sections in the upper reach and 19 in the lower reach, we calculated areas of scour and fill in response to the two largest floods in the record. We used quasi-likelihood logistic regression models to test the proportion of each reach that experienced change between consecutive surveys over the entire record (1978-1997) as a function of flood return periods. The longitudinal profile of the site without LWD was more variable than the reach with LWD at the finest scale (~1 m) due to a greater frequency of boulder steps, but the reach with LWD was more variable at the channel unit scale. LWD-created steps 1 to 2.5 m high in the wood-rich reach accounted for nearly 30% of the total channel fall and created low-gradient upstream channel segments one to three channel widths long. As a result, both reaches have the same average slope (about 9%), but nearly three times as much of the channel in the wood-rich reach had a slope of [less- than or equal to]5% as in the reach without wood (20.4% of total channel length vs. 7.5% of channel length). The reach with abundant LWD was less responsive to moderate streamflow events (return period <~5 years), but it responded similarly to peak flows with a return period of about 10 to 25 years. Although the average magnitude of cross-section changes was the same during the largest flood in the record (25-year return period), the reach without LWD experienced scour and coarsening of the bed surface, whereas the reach with LWD experienced aggradation upstream of LWD features. Mack Creek may be representative of many steep mountain streams in which channel structure is strongly influenced by nonfluvial processes: a legacy of large boulders from glacial or mass movement processes and a legacy of dead wood from ecological processes. Sediment-limited mountain streams with large boulders, when deprived of LWD, appear to exhibit less morphological variation at the channel unit scale, to store less sediment, and to release it more readily than those with LWD.

Substantial efforts have been made to restore some runs of wild salmon, but few have shown much success. Society's failure to restore wild salmon is a policy conundrum characterized by: (1) claims by a strong majority to be supportive of restoring wild salmon runs; (2) competing societal priorities which are at least partially mutually exclusive; (3) the region's rapidly growing human population and its pressure on all natural resources (including salmon and their habitats); (4) entrenched policy stances in the salmon restoration debate, usually supported by established bureaucracies; (5) society's expectation that experts should be able to solve the salmon problem by using a technological scheme and without massive cultural or economic sacrifices (e.g., life style changes); (6) use of experts and scientific 'facts' by political proponents to bolster their policy positions; (7) inability of salmon scientists to avoid being placed in particular policy or political camps; and (8) confusion in discussing policy options caused by couching policy preferences in scientific terms or imperatives rather than value-based criteria. Even with definitive scientific knowledge, which will never be complete or certain, restoring most wild salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest to historic levels will be arduous and will entail substantial economic costs and social disruption required. Ultimate success cannot be assured. Given the appreciable costs and social dislocation, coupled with the dubious probability of success, candid public dialog is warranted to decide whether restoration of wild salmon is an appropriate, much less feasible, public policy objective. Provided with a genuine assessment of the necessary economic costs and social implications required for restoration, it is questionable whether a majority of the public would opt for the pervasive measures that appear necessary for restoring many runs of wild salmon. Through the 21 super(st) century, I conclude that there will continue to be appreciable annual variation in the size of salmon runs, accompanied by the decadal trends in run size caused by periodic changes in climatic and oceanic conditions, but many, perhaps most, stocks of wild salmon in the Pacific Northwest likely will remain at their current low levels or continue to decline in spite of heroic, expensive, and socially turbulent attempts at restoration.

Sediment contaminants were analyzed at several sites along an assumed pollution gradient extending eastward into the harbour from the relatively less-impacted Howe Sound area (located outside and seaward, to the west). Subsets of a few representative benthic biota (English sole for general contaminants; specific molluscs for TBT) at the sampling sites were concurrently assessed for specific tissue contaminants. Measurements of biotic response to contaminantsuacross a wide spectrum of biological and ecosystem organization, and ranging from selected biomarkers and tissue responses, to observations at the organism and community leveluwere likewise conducted. Parameters examined included: P-450 expression, EROD induction and histopathologic assessment of toxicopathic liver lesions in English sole; prevalence and frequency of imposex in neogastropods; perturbations in benthic community responses to pollutants; tissue assays of various bivalve shellfish species for PSP. Results affirmed a consistent east-to-west trend in declining contaminant-associated effects, across a range of biological assessments, thus providing strong evidence that these effects are pollution-related. Specific findings revealed a significant distortion of benthic community structure along the pollution gradient, as well as biomarker evidence of histological and biochemical stress in English sole from central and inner harbour sites. Although the study reaffirms prior assumptions that various species of neogastropods have been extirpated from the harbour, most likely from the antifoulant uses of tributyltin, some of the adverse impacts from TBT may be declining. Also noted were strong biochemical inferences that sediments in the relatively aauncontaminatedaa Howe Sound, may well contain significant P450-inducing pollutants which were not included as analytes in the design of this limited and preliminary assessment. During the brief sampling period, PSP contamination did not appear to be a significant issue for the harbour.

More than 70% of cells died in 3 h when exposed to BQ or NQ; 50% died in 7 h when exposed to MNQ, with no mortality compared to controls after 7 h DMONQ exposure. A suite of biochemical parameters was assessed for ability to discriminate these reactivity pathways in fish. Rapid depletion of glutathione (GSH) with appearance of glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and increased dichlorofluoroscein fluorescence were used as indicators of redox cycling, noted with DMONQ, MNQ, and NQ. Depletion of GSH with no GSSG accumulation, and loss of free protein thiol (PrSH) groups (nonreducible) indicated direct arylation by BQ. All toxicants rapidly oxidized NADH, with changes in NADPH noted later (BQ, NQ, MNQ) or not at all (DMONQ). Biochemical measures including cellular energy status, cytotoxicity, and measures of reactive oxygen species, along with the key parameters of GSH and PrSH redox status, allowed differentiation of responses associated with lethality. Chemicals that arylate were more potent than redox cyclers. Toxic pathway discrimination is needed to group chemicals for potency predictions and identification of structural parameters associated with distinct types of reactive toxicity, a necessary step for development of mechanistically based quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) to predict chemical toxic potential. The commonality of reactivity mechanisms between rodents and fish was also demonstrated, a step essential for species extrapolations.

Differences in enzyme content can mediate pharmacokinetic differences. Microsomal protein is often isolated from liver to characterize enzyme content and activity, but no measures exist to extrapolate these data to the intact liver. Measures were developed from up to 60 samples of adult human liver to characterize the content of microsomal protein and cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. Statistical evaluations are necessary to estimate values far from the mean value. Adult human liver contains 52.9 - 1.476 mg microsomal protein per g; 2587 - 1.84 pmoles CYP2E1 per g; and 5237 - 2.214 pmols CYP3A per g (geometric mean - geometric standard deviation). These values are useful for identifying and testing susceptibility as a function of enzyme content when used to extrapolate in vitro rates of chemical metabolism for input to physiologically based pharmacokinetic models which can then be exercised to quantify the effect of variance in enzyme expression on risk-relevant pharmacokinetic outcomes.

The objectives of this study were to establish an allergy model in weanling rats to more closely reflect the developing immune system of children, and to determine whether systemic administration of inactivated Bordetella pertussis could enhance pulmonary and systemic immune responses to locally administered house dust mite antigen (HDM). Three-week old female Brown Norway rats were sensitized with 10 mu g HDM intratracheally or intraperitoneally, with or without a simultaneous injection of 10 super(8) whole killed B. pertussis organisms. ten days later, all the rats were challenged with 5 mu g HDM via the trachea. Bronchial lymph nodes and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) were collected 0, 2, and 4 days post-challenge. Coadministration of pertussis and intratracheal instillation of HDM enhanced HDM-specific lymphoproliferative responses and increased BAL levels of total protein, lactate dehydrogenase, HDM-specific IgE and IgG antibodies, and the number of eosinophils in BAL to the same extent as had occurred in the systemically immunized animals. The data show that intratracheal instillation of HDM induces a mild allergic sensitization in juvenile rats, and that ip injection with B. pertussis enhances this sensitization process to levels seen in animals injected with antigen and B pertussis together. These results suggest that simultaneous exposure to Th2-inducing vaccine components and allergenic proteins may be a risk factor for allergic sensitization and the development of asthma in susceptible individuals.

Logistic regression models quantified the relationship between classification accuracy and these landscape variables for each land-cover class at both the Anderson Levels I and II classification schemes employed in the NLCD. The general relationships were consistent, with the odds of correctly classifying a pixel increasing as patch size increased and decreasing as heterogeneity increased. Specific characteristics of these relationships, however, showed considerable diversity among the various classes. Odds ratios are reported to document these relationships. Interaction between the two landscape variables was not a significant influence on classification accuracy, indicating that the effect of heterogeneity was not impacted by the sample being in a small or large patch. Landscape variables remained significant predictors of class-specific accuracy even when adjusted for regional differences in the mapping and assessment processes or landscape characteristics. The land-cover class-specific analyses provide insight into sources of classification error and a capacity for predicting error based on a pixel's mapped land-cover class, patch size and surrounding land-cover heterogeneity.

Chlorine substitutions at ortho position on the biphenyl, which increase the non-coplanarity, are characteristic of the most active congeners in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the effects of selected hydroxylated PCBs, which are major PCB metabolites identified in mammals, on the same measures where PCBs had differential effects based on structural configuration. These measures include PKC translocation as determined by [H]phorbol ester ([H]PDBu) binding in cerebellar granule cells, and Ca super(2+) sequestration as determined by super(45)Ca super(2+) uptake by microsomes isolated from adult rat cerebellum. All the selected hydroxy-PCBs with ortho-chlorine substitutions increased [H]PDBu binding in a concentration-dependent manner and the order of potency as determined by E sub(50) (concentration that increases control activity by 50%) is 2',4',6'- trichloro-4-biphenylol (32 plus or minus 4 mu M), 2',5'-dichloro-4-biphenylol (70 plus or minus 9 mu M), 2,2',4',5,5'-pentachloro-4-biphenylol (80 plus or minus 7 mu M) and 2,2',5'- trichloro-4-biphenylol (93 plus or minus 14 mu M). All the selected hydroxy-PCBs inhibited microsomal super(45)Ca super(2+) uptake to a different extent. Among the hydroxy- PCBs selected, 2',4',6'-trichloro-4-biphenylol is the most active in increasing [H]PDBu binding as well as inhibiting microsomal super(45)Ca super(2+) uptake. 3,5-Dichloro-4-biphenylol and 3,4',5-trichloro-4-biphenylol did not increase [H]PDBu binding, but inhibited microsomal super(45)Ca super(2+) uptake. This effect was not related to ionization of these two hydroxy-PCBs. Hydroxylated PCBs seemed to be as active as parent PCBs in vitro. These studies indicate that PCB metabolites such as hydroxy-PCBs might contribute significantly to the neurotoxic responses of PCBs.

Yet, the ecological implications of such connections remain largely unexplored. In 1995, we observed spillage into and out of a North Dakota wetland during two field visits. Between May 3 and May 26, there was a positive relationship between specific conductance and water level at this site, suggesting an external source of dissolved ions. We estimated that specific conductance may have increased at the site by as much as 614 mu S cm-1 due to spillage from the upslope wetland. Based on a spatial analysis that compared National Wetlands Inventory maps with 1996 color infrared imagery, we estimated that 28% of the area's wetlands had a temporary surface water connection to at least one other wetland at that time, including one complex of 14 interconnected wetlands. These results indicate that the connectivity observed in 1995 was not confined to the two wetlands nor to that single year. The degree of connectivity we observed would be expected to occur during the wetter portions of the region's 20-year wet-dry cycle. We hypothesize that intermittent surface-water connections between wetlands occur throughout the prairie pothole region. Given patterns in relief and precipitation, these connections most likely would have occurred in the eastern portion of the prairie pothole region. However, wetland drainage may have altered historical patterns. The implication of these spatial and temporal trends is that surface-water connections between depressional wetlands should be viewed as a probability event that has some distribution over time and space. We refer to connections that are impermanent, temporally discontinuous, or sporadic as temporal connectivity. The most intriguing feature of these temporary connections may be that they could affect biodiversity or population dynamics through transport of individuals or reproductive bodies. Research is needed to determine whether these connections actually cause these biological effects and to characterize the distribution and effects of this phenomenon.

Methods: Cross sectional analysis of 56 513 singleton infants born to residents of Massachusetts during 1990. City specific aggregate data were used to estimate maternal exposure to TTHM concentration; individual maternal information was used to adjust for confounding. Results: Increased pregnancy average and second trimester TTHM exposure were associated with small for gestational age and reductions in birth weight after adjusting for potential confounding variables. Compared to less than or equal to 60 mu g/l, pregnancy average TTHM exposure over 80 mu g/l was associated with a 32 g reduction in birth weight. There was a 23 g reduction in birth weight in infants born to mothers exposed to greater than 80 mu g/l TTHM during the second trimester. For each 20 mu g/l increase in TTHM, the estimated reduction in birth was 2.8 g for pregnancy average exposure and 2.6 g for second trimester exposure. An increased risk of small for gestational age births was found for pregnancy average (odds ratio (OR) 1.14; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.26) and second trimester (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.24) TTHM levels greater than 80 mu g/l. There was no evidence of an association between preterm delivery and increased TTHM levels, but there were slight increases in gestational duration associated with TTHM concentrations. Conclusions: Maternal exposure to THMs may be associated with fetal growth retardation. Our findings are consistent with most previous work, although we generally found smaller effects of TTHMs on low birth weight and intrauterine growth retardation.

Fish assemblages from wadeable streams were dominated by small, short-lived fishes (e.g., minnows, darters, and sculpins) that were more widely distributed and abundant than large fishes typically chosen for tissue contaminant studies (e.g., trout, black bass, sunfish, common carp). Chemical concentrations in whole-fish homogenates exceeded detection limits for mercury, DDT, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 75 to 100% of the stream length assessed using small fishes and 84 to 100% of the stream length assessed using large fishes. Wildlife values (WVs) representing a threshold for toxic effect were developed to allow examination of the spatial extent of potential risk to piscivorous wildlife. For mercury, DDT, dieldrin, and chlordane, estimates of the regional extent of streams where fish contaminant concentrations exceeded the WVs were greater when based on small fishes than on large fishes. However, within the distribution of stream lengths assessed using small and large fishes, the percentage of stream kilometers exceeding the WVs were quite similar. Our data demonstrate that the greater abundance and distribution of small, short-lived fishes provide greater estimates of regional extent of contamination for first- through third-order streams and can be used for regional assessments of potential exposure and effects in wildlife.

Model evaluation AN - 16155576; 5597210 AB - An initial evaluation of the Models-3 Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model aerosol component reveals CMAQ's varying ability to simulate observed visibility indices and aerosol species concentrations. The visibility evaluation, using National Weather Service observations from 139 airports for 11-15 July 1995, shows that CMAQ reasonably captured the general spatial and temporal patterns of visibility degradation, including major gradients, maxima and minima. However, CMAQ's two visibility prediction methods, Mie theory approximation and mass reconstruction, both underpredict visibility degradation (i.e. overpredict visibility). The mean bias, normalized mean bias (NMB), mean error and normalized mean error (NME) for the Mie calculations are-5.9 dv,- 21.7%, 7.0 dv and 25.4%, respectively. For the reconstruction simulations, these statistics are-9.8 dv,-35.5%, 10.0 dv and 36.2%, respectively. Most simulated values ( similar to 90% Mie and similar to 85% reconstruction) fall within a factor of two of the observations, although r super(2) = 0.25 (Mie) and r super(2) = 0.24 (reconstruction). The speciated aerosol evaluation uses observations of sulfate, nitrate, PM sub(2.5), PM sub(10) and organic carbon obtained from 18 stations of the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) network in June 1995. This evaluation reveals that, with the exception of sulfate (mean bias: 0.15 mu g/m super(3), NMB: 3.1%), the model consistently underpredicts aerosol concentrations of nitrate (-0.10 mu g/m super(3),-33.1%), PM sub(2.5) (-3.9 mu g/m super(3),-30.1%), PM sub(10) (-5.66 mu g/m super(3),-29.2%) and organic carbon (-0.78 mu g/m super(3),-33.7%). Sulfate was simulated best by the model (r super(2) = 0.63, mean error = 1.75 mu g/m super(3), NME = 36.2%), followed by PM sub(2.5) (0.55, 5.00 mu g/m super(3), 38.5%), organic carbon (0.25, 0.94 mu g/m super(3), 40.6%), PM sub(10) (0.13, 9.85 mu g/m super(3), 50.8%) and nitrate (0.01, 0.33 mu g/m super(3), 104.3%). Except for nitrate, 75-80% of simulated concentrations fall within a factor of two of the IMPROVE observations. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

We examine a unique, household-level data set representing middle and upper-middle income groups in 20 metropolitan statistical areas across the country and containing information on the percent recycled of five different materials: glass bottles, plastic bottles, aluminum, newspaper, and yard waste. We find that access to curbside recycling has a significant positive effect on the percentage recycled of all five materials and that the level of this effect varies across different materials. The length of the recycling program's life also has a significant positive effect on two materials. Making recycling mandatory has an insignificant effect on all five materials. The level of the unit price is insignificant in our regressions, but the effect of unit pricing on recycling activity remains unclear.

Mathematical models for airflow within plant canopies were adapted to describe water flow through and above meadows of aquatic eelgrass Zostera marina. The resulting model provided the vertical distribution of velocity and shear in a water column within the meadow, and it was developed to automatically conserve flow within the canopy. It was tested and calibrated with data from the laboratory and the field, and it performed adequately. The flow profile was nearly exponential within the canopy and logarithmic above it. The model was used to study how the eelgrass canopy affected the horizontal transport of conservative constituents. The most important finding was that the vertical distribution of a constituent determines whether the canopy will reduce or enhance its transport through the water column. This effect has direct implications for transport of nonconservative constituents such as dissolved oxygen, nutrients, organic carbon, and particulate pollen, larvae, plankton, and detritus. It also has direct implications for biological issues such as vertical distributions of photosynthesis and of recruitment of organisms on blades of grass while they are exposed to varying degrees of currents and shear.

Biotransformation data incorporated into PB-TK models has, for the most part, depended on in vitro techniques designed to mimic the in vivo environment; however, data from direct in vitro/in vivo comparisons is limited. In this investigation we describe for the first time a method using in vivo microdialysis (MD) to qualitatively assess hepatic xenobiotic biotransformation of phenol in an unanesthetized fish. MD probes were surgically implanted into the livers of adult rainbow trout which were subsequently confined to respirometer-metabolism chambers. Phenol (1-300 mM) was delivered directly to the liver via the MD probe at a perfusion rate of 1 mu l min super(-1) which consistently resulted in a relative delivery of 77-85% of the phenol in the perfusate to the tissue over a 3 day experimental time frame. Location of the probe within the liver was also shown to have no effect on the delivery of phenol or on the type or quantity of phase I metabolites formed. Production of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CAT), the primary phase I metabolites of phenol, was monitored through direct sampling of the hepatic extracellular fluid space via the MD probe. HQ and CAT production increased with increasing time of perfusion and with increasing concentration of phenol delivered to the liver. In the future, data obtained through in vivo MD will be useful in resolving uncertainties in biotransformation rate and capacity parameters, which are central to fish PB-TK modeling of chemical disposition.

Reactivity pattern analysis. AN - 73093726; 12636269 AB - The incorporation of reductive transformations into environmental fate models requires the characterization of natural reductants in sediments and aquifer materials. For this purpose, reactivity patterns (range and relative order of reactivity) for a series of 14 halogenated methanes were measured in iron- and sulfate-reducing sediments and two representative model systems: adsorbed Fe(II)/goethite [Fe(II)ads/alpha-FeOOH] and iron sulfide (FeS). Both Fe(II)ads and FeS are naturally occurring reductants. The strong similarity in reactivity patterns between the iron- and sulfate-reducing sediments suggests that the two share a common reductant despite their different chemical compositions (i.e., the sulfate-reducing sediment contained FeS). An orthogonal regression analysis of the halomethane transformation rate data in the sediment and model systems supports the assumption that a common mechanism for halomethane transformation exists between the sediments and the Fe(II)ads/alpha-FeOOH system and further corroborates the conclusion that Fe(II) adsorbed to Fe(III)-containing minerals is the dominant reductant in both sediment systems. Weak (0.5 N) and strong (6.0 N) acid extraction of the sediments indicated that solid-phase Fe(II) was 67% higher in the sulfate-reducing sediment than in the iron-reducing sediment, which is consistent with the observations that the halomethanes were transformed a factor of 3 times faster in the sulfate-reducing sediment and that Fe(II) was the dominant reductant.

AN - 72954085; 12521673 AB - Diazinon is an organophosphate (OP)-based, anticholinesterase insecticide that irreversibly inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity and produces cholinergic stimulation in central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues. Our laboratory has found that OPs administered orally in rats induce a transient period of hypothermia followed by a delayed fever that persists for several days after exposure. There is little information on the thermoregulatory effects of diazinon. Core temperature (Tc) and motor activity (MA) were monitored by radiotelemetry in male and female rats of the Long-Evans strain dosed orally with diazinon (0 [corn-oil vehicle], 100, 200, or 300 mg/kg in males and 0, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg in females). There was a dose-dependent decrease in Tc during the first night after treatment, with females exhibiting slightly greater sensitivity than males. MA was unaffected in females exposed to diazinon at doses of 50 to 200 mg/kg; MA of males was reduced during the first night after dosing with 300 mg/kg. There was a delayed elevation in Tc of males dosed with 200 and 300 mg/kg and females dosed with 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg diazinon. The elevated Tc was only manifested during d 2 and 3 after diazinon. Administration of 200 mg/kg sodium salicylate to females 48 h after being treated with 200 mg/kg diazinon led to a rapid abatement of the fever. Diazinon doses of 50 to 300 mg/kg led to 40% to 50% inhibition in plasma cholinesterase (ChE) activity 4 h after dosing, and females displayed a significantly slower recovery of ChE activity compared to males. When compared on a molar basis, the hypothermic response to diazinon was relatively small compared to other OPs such as chlorpyrifos. The delayed fever and efficacy of sodium salicylate to block diazinon-induced fever are similar to the effects of OPs chlorpyrifos and diisopropyl fluoro-phosphate (DFP).

In the present study, excessive flooding resulting from altered land-use activities increased mortality in wetland tree communities. We investigated tree decline status, tree size, species composition, and capacity for clonal propagation along an elevation/hydrologic gradient to understand community structure and composition dynamics resulting from excessive flooding. Prior to disturbance, the density of small stems (2cm less than or equal to DBH10cm) doubled with a decrease of 1m elevation along the transect while density of other tree sizes (DBH10cm) remained relatively constant at all elevations. This increase in small stems corresponded with an increase in the number of individuals growing clonally. Tree communities at the highest elevations were dominated by less flood-tolerant species, such as Quercus laurifolia and Liquidambar styraciflua, whereas tree communities at lower elevations were dominated by highly flood-tolerant species such as Nyssa sylvatica var. biflora and Fraxinus caroliniana. Prolonged flooding was causing tree communities at low elevations to shift towards a more shrubby structure and composition dominated by more flood-tolerant species that could regenerate clonally. Among most species, trees greater than 10cm DBH were generally more sensitive to flooding than smaller trees at high levels of flood disturbance and the ability to reproduce clonally was found to be an important mechanism allowing species such as F. caroliniana and Acer rubrum to persist under near permanently flooded conditions. The mechanism of clonal propagation for surviving severe flooding events may be important for wetland forest communities throughout the southeastern US.

AN - 73134481; 12654278 AB - Environmental conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region of United States are presently being documented in a series of reports that use 'environmental report cards' to summarize the condition of individual natural resources (e.g. estuaries, streams, forests, and landscapes) over the entire region and within major subregions. An 'index of environmental integrity' (IEI) approach has been developed and is illustrated using the information content of these report cards to evaluate the overall condition throughout the region. The IEI approach is a four-step process: (1) select individual components for the index, (2) calculate subindex values for each of the individual components, (3) aggregate the subindex values into the overall index, and (4) interpretation of index values. The IEI approach was illustrated by applying to the Mid-Atlantic estuaries and wadable streams in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands. Because the IEI approach is new, application should not be made without considering issues such as evaluation of the selection of the indicators, weighting scheme, uncertainties, and appropriate way to interpret the values.

AN - 73103453; 12635727 AB - In 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency derived a reference dose (RfD) for methylmercury, which is a daily intake that is likely to be without appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. This derivation used a series of benchmark dose (BMD) analyses provided by a National Research Council (NRC) panel convened to assess the health effects of methylmercury. Analyses were performed for a number of endpoints from three large longitudinal cohort studies of the neuropsychological consequences of in utero exposure to methylmercury: the Faroe Islands, Seychelles Islands, and New Zealand studies. Adverse effects were identified in the Faroe Islands and New Zealand studies, but not in the Seychelles Islands. The NRC also performed an integrative analysis of all three studies. The EPA applied a total uncertainty factor (UF) of 10 for intrahuman toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic variability and uncertainty. Dose conversion from cord blood mercury concentrations to maternal methylmercury intake was performed using a one-compartment model. Derivation of potential RfDs from a number of endpoints from the Faroe Islands study converged on 0.1 microg/kg/day, as did the integrative analysis of all three studies. EPA identified several areas for which further information or analyses is needed. Perhaps the most immediately relevant is the ratio of cord:maternal blood mercury concentration, as well as the variability around this ratio. EPA assumed in its dose conversion that the ratio was 1.0; however, available data suggest it is perhaps 1.5-2.0. Verification of a deviation from unity presumably would be translated directly into comparable reduction in the RfD. Other areas that EPA identified as significant areas requiring further attention are cardiovascular consequences of methylmercury exposure and delayed neurotoxicity during aging as a result of previous developmental or adult exposure.

AN - 73089327; 12630478 AB - Semivolatile compounds present special analytical challenges not met by conventional methods for analysis of ambient particulate matter (PM). Accurate quantification of PM-associated organic compounds requires validation of the laboratory procedures for recovery over a wide volatility and polarity range. To meet these challenges, solutions of n-alkanes (nC12-nC40) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs (naphthalene to benzo[ghi]perylene) were reduced in volume from a solvent mixture (equal volumes of hexane, dichloromethane and methanol), to examine recovery after reduction in volume. When the extract solution volume reached 0.5 mL the solvent was entirely methanol, and the recovery averaged 60% for n-alkanes nC12-nC25 and PAHs from naphthalene to chrysene. Recovery of higher MW compounds decreased with MW, because of their insolubility in methanol. When the walls of the flasks were washed with 1 mL of equal parts hexane and dichloromethane (to reconstruct the original solvent composition), the recovery of nC18 and higher MW compounds increased dramatically, up to 100% for nC22-nC32 and then slowly decreasing with MW due to insolubility. To examine recovery during extraction of the components of the High Capacity Integrated Gas and Particle Sampler, the same standards were used to spike its denuders and filters. For XAD-4 coated denuders and filters, normalized recovery was >95% after two extractions. Recovery from spiked quartz filters matched the recovery from the coated surfaces for alkanes nC18 and larger and for fluoranthene and larger PAHs. Lower MW compounds evaporated from the quartz filter with the spiking solvent. This careful approach allowed quantification of organics by correcting for volatility- and solubility-related sample preparation losses. This method is illustrated for an ambient sample collected with this sampler during the Texas Air Quality Study 2000.

AN - 73064366; 12612785 AB - In 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency, National Risk Management Research Laboratory (EPA, NRMRL), with the National Environmental Technology Application Center (NETAC), developed a protocol for evaluation of bioremediation products in marine environments [18]. The marine protocol was adapted for application in freshwater environments by using a chemically defined medium and an oil-degrading consortium as a positive control. Four products were tested using the modified protocol: two with nutrients and an oleophilic component; one with nutrients, sorbent, and organisms; and one microbial stimulant. A separate experiment evaluated the use of HEPES and MOPSO buffers as replacements for phosphate buffer. The oleophilic nutrient products yielded oil degradation similar to the positive control, with an average alkane removal of 97.1+/-2.3% and an aromatic hydrocarbon removal of 64.8+/-1.2%. The positive control, which received inoculum plus nutrients, demonstrated alkane degradation of 98.9+/-0.1% and aromatic degradation of 52.9+/-0.1%. The sorbent-based product with inoculum failed to demonstrate oil degradation, while the microbial stimulant showed less oil degradation than the positive control. Replacement of phosphate buffer with other buffers had no significant effect on one product's performance. Differences in product performance were easily distinguishable using the protocol, and performance targets for alkane and aromatic hydrocarbon degradation are suggested.

AN - 73027283; 12597482 AB - Waste wash waters from chicken egg-processing facilities can harbor high densities of bacteria, including salmonellae. For this study, we enumerated total coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella spp. in the egg wash waters of a large egg producer. We then determined how long these organisms would survive at temperatures of 5, 15, and 25 degrees C. We found that the fraction of salmonellae surviving over time at a given temperature was comparable to the fraction of indicator organisms that survived. We also found that the survival of these organisms varied with temperature, with 16, 8, and < 2 days being required for a 90% reduction of Salmonella in waste wash water held at 5, 15, and 25 degrees C, respectively. Finally, we noted that the response of laboratory-derived cultures to environmental stresses mimics the response of the indigenous microbial population, but individual cells within that population may survive for longer periods than laboratory-cultured strains.

AN - 72982583; 12558167 AB - A series of modeling simulations was performed to evaluate the underlying factors and principles that drive the uncertainty in measured bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) and biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) for fish, and to determine which sampling designs minimize those uncertainties. Temporal variability of chemical concentrations in the water column, and the metabolism rate and n-octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow) for the chemical were determined to be the dominant factors that influenced the field-sampling design. Spatial variability of the chemical concentrations, food web structure, and the sediment-water column concentration quotient had a lesser importance upon the overall design. The simulations also demonstrated that collection of composite water samples in comparison to grab water samples resulted in reductions in the uncertainties associated with measured BAFs. Some illustrative sampling design structures for BAF and BSAF measurements based upon the temporal variability of chemical concentrations in the water column and the metabolism rate and Kow for the chemical were developed. These illustrative designs provided a sense of how sampling design structures, that is, the number and spacing over time of sampling events, might be influenced by differences in temporal variabilities, metabolism rates, and Kow. Although the importance of spatial variability was discounted as a major factor in the design process, sampling of water and sediment across the immediate home range of the sampled organism is required for successful measurements because poor spatial coordination of organism, water, or sediment samples will yield BAFs and BSAFs with large and unknown biases.

AN - 72950248; 12520380 AB - The BOSAWAS Natural Resource Reserve of Nicaragua was established in 1991, to protect a portion of the remaining tropical rain forest and to promote the sustainable use of the region's resources. Information required to effectively manage the reserve includes the extents and locations of present land-cover types and recent land-cover changes in the management use zones that were delineated by local indigenous communities. These zones include areas designated for conservation, limited resource extraction, agriculture, and watershed protection. Land-cover for 1986 and 1995 was identified for three of the communities from remotely sensed images and then input into a geographic information system database to identify land-cover types within these management use zones. For both dates of the analysis, advanced forest was the dominant land cover, with the conservation zones entirely forested. The amount of both agricultural land and scrub/early secondary forest increased between the two dates, with much of these land-cover classes occurring in the agriculture zones. Conflicts between the land-cover present and designated use were identified in some of the limited-use buffer and watershed protection zones. Changes between 1986 and 1995 were identified by overlaying the two land-cover data sets. Three change processes were identified as occurring: deforestation, reforestation, and reconversion. Changes were concentrated in the agriculture zones but were found to occur in every type of zone, except for conservation. The results of this study will establish baseline information for the future management of the BOSAWAS Reserve, an important component in uniting conservation areas along the Central American isthmus.

The existing soil or waste material has elevated metal concentrations with total Zn, Pb and Cd ranging from 6000 to 14 700, 2100 to 27 000 and 9 to 28 mg kg super(-1), respectively. Surface application of certain amendments including biosolids mixed with wood ash resulted in significant decreases in subsoil acidity as well as subsoil extractable metals. This mixture was sufficient to restore a plant cover to the contaminated areas. At the Bunker Hill site, a surface application of high N biosolids (44 or 66 tons ha super(-1)) in combination with wood ash (220 tons ha super(-1)) with or without log yard debris (20% by volume) or pulp and paper sludge (44 tons ha super(-1)) was able to restore a vegetative cover to the metal contaminated materials for 2 years following amendment application. Plant biomass in 1999 was 0.01 mg ha super(-1) in the control versus a mean of 3.4 tons ha super(-1) in the residual amended plots. Metal concentrations of the vegetation indicated that plants were within normal concentrations for the 2 years that data were collected. Surface application of amendments was also able to reduce Ca(NO sub(3)) sub(2) extractable Zn in the subsoil from about 50 mg kg super(-1)in the control to less than 4 mg kg super(-1)in two of the treatments. Use of conventional amendments including lime alone and microbial stimulants were not sufficient to support plant growth. These results indicate that surface application of biosolids in combination with other residuals is sufficient to restore a vegetative cover to high metal mine wastes.

Diazinon and esfenvalerate were selected for this study because of their application overlaps. Toxicological and biochemical responses of larval fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed singly and in combinations to esfenvalerate and diazinon were determined. Exposures were 96-h static renewal tests that used standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency acute toxicity test methods. After pesticide exposures, larvae were evaluated for carboxylesterase and acetylcholinesterase activity, and histopathological effects. Carboxylesterase activity was examined because of its potential influence on the toxicity of both organophosphates and pyrethroids. In vivo studies demonstrated that diazinon significantly inhibited carboxylesterase activity at nominal water concentrations as low as 50 mu g/L. However, esfenvalerate did not affect carboxylesterase activity at any concentration tested. Liver glycogen depletion was the only histopathological effect observed; this effect was demonstrated with the individual pesticides and pesticide combinations (i.e., mixtures). The combinations of diazinon and esfenvalerate causing acute toxicity to fathead minnow larvae appeared to be greater than additive (i.e., synergistic) in all three tests.

Still, there is limited understanding regarding the possible effects of ozone on soil processes. In this review, the effects of ozone are discussed using the flow of carbon from the atmosphere, through the plant to soils, and back to the atmosphere as a framework. A conceptual model based on carbohydrate signaling is used to illustrate physiological changes in response to ozone, and to discuss possible feedbacks that may occur. Despite past emphasis on aboveground effects, ozone has the potential to alter belowground processes and hence ecosystem characteristics in ways that are not currently being considered.

Frond and rhizosphere soil samples were obtained from bracken growing in three clearcut locations in the Willamette National Forest in western Oregon. The highest frond biomass was correlated with soil having the highest total %N, lowest Fe content and oldest geological age. Based on analysis of variance of principal component scores for patterns of utilization of substrates on Biolog GN plates, metabolic profiles of rhizosphere microbial communities of bracken differed significantly between locations. Utilization of carbohydrates and phosphorylated compounds was positively correlated with organic matter (OM) and total N and negatively correlated with extractable Fe and Mn content of soil. Carboxylic acid utilization was positively correlated with pH and OM and negatively correlated with extractable Mn and P content of soils. Pseudomonas rDNA fingerprints of bracken rhizosphere samples suggested that the diversity of pseudomonads at the location with the most acidic (pH 5.5) soil (Burnside Road) differed from those at less acidic (pH 6.2 and 6.1) locations (Falls Creek and Toad Road). Mycorrhizal infection of bracken was lowest at Falls Creek, the location with the highest %N soil content. Our results suggest that bracken frond biomass and rhizosphere microbial community characteristics are correlated with local edaphic factors such as soil chemistry and geological age.

The assay's sensitivities were between one and three cells per filter. The accuracy of the cell estimates was between 50 and 200% of their true value (95% confidence level). In similar tests with surface water samples, the presence of PCR inhibitory compounds necessitated further purification and/or dilution of the DNA extracts, with resultant reductions in sensitivity but generally not in quantitative accuracy. Analyses of a series of freshwater samples collected from a recreational beach showed positive correlations between the QPCR results and colony counts of the corresponding target species. Positive correlations were also seen between the cell quantities of the target Candida species detected in these analyses and colony counts of Enterococcus organisms. With a combined sample processing and analysis time of less than 4 h, this method shows great promise as a tool for rapidly assessing potential exposures to waterborne pathogenic Candida species from drinking and recreational waters and may have applications in the detection of fecal pollution.

These data were used to calculate a periphyton index of biotic integrity (PIBI), and values of the index were compared among reference, moderately impacted, and disturbed streams. The level of disturbance was based on stream chemistry, riparian disturbance, or a combined classification. Analyses of variance showed that PIBI was significantly higher in reference streams for all classifications. The PIBI and its metrics were correlated with many of the chemistry and habitat variables, and canonical correlation analysis revealed three significant environmental gradients which extracted 84% of the variance in the PIBI and its metrics. We used the mean 75th, 25th, and 5th percentile scores from the reference sites to set thresholds for excellent, good, fair, or poor condition. Applying these criteria to the cumulative distribution of total stream length in the region, we found that 4.3% of the stream length was in excellent condition; 20.8% in good condition; 56.4% in fair condition; and 18.5% in poor condition. The sensitivity of the PIBI and its component metrics to environmental stressors supports the use of this index for monitoring ecological conditions in streams in the eastern United States and as a tool to aid in diagnosing the causes of their impairment.

Here, we compared carbohydrate assimilation patterns derived from stable isotope analyses on cultures with patterns of metabolic activity measured on Biolog super() SF-P plates for 12 taxa of soil- and litter-inhabiting saprotrophic fungi isolated from Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) ecosystems. To determine the relative assimilation of carbon from malt extract versus sucrose by super(13)C stable isotope analyses, we cultured fungi with malt extract (consisting primarily of glucose and maltose) plus either C sub(3)- or C sub(4)-derived sucrose as carbon sources. Rhodotorula graminis and F. oxysporum assimilated the highest proportion of sucrose, a Mortierella isolate and an unidentified sterile isolate (FPC 341) assimilated the lowest proportion of sucrose, and remaining cultures assimilated similar and intermediate proportions of sucrose. On Biolog plates, low metabolic activity of Mortierella and FPC 341 on sucrose and R. graminis and F. oxysporum on maltose were qualitatively consistent with isotopic results. Assimilation of sucrose calculated isotopically was correlated with the ratio of sucrose: maltose activity calculated from Biolog assays (r super(2)=0.45, P=0.0145, n=12). Metabolic activity on Biolog plates for six other common soil carbohydrates were also determined: glucose, fructose, galactose, cellobiose, lactose, and glycogen. Metabolic activity was greatest overall on maltose and glucose and lowest on fructose. Two of the isolates (Aspergillus flavus and F. oxysporum) had higher metabolic activity on the glucose-containing disaccharide cellobiose than on glucose, strongly suggesting preferential uptake of cellobiose compared to glucose and suggesting the potential ability to use cellulose. The high metabolic activity of these cultures on galactose, a primary constituent of hemicellulose, also suggested cellulolytic capabilities. Our results indicated that stable isotope studies and Biolog assays may provide complementary information to characterize metabolic potential of fungi in forest litter and soil.

However, experimental evidence demonstrating causality and pathogenesis of particulate matter (PM)-induced cardiovascular damage has been insufficient. We hypothesized that protracted, repeated inhalation by rats of oil combustion-derived, fugitive emission PM (EPM), similar in metal composition to selected sources of urban air PM, causes exposure duration- and dose-dependent myocardial injury in susceptible rat strains. Zinc was the only primary water-leachable/bioavailable element of this EPM. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD), Wistar Kyoto (WKY), and spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats were exposed nose-only to EPM (2, 5, or 10 mg/m super(3), 6 h/day for 4 consecutive days or 10 mg/m super(3), 6 h/day, 1 day/week for 4 or 16 consecutive weeks). Two days following the last EPM exposure, cardiac and pulmonary tissues were examined histologically. The results showed that particle-laden alveolar macrophages were the only pulmonary lesions observed in all three rat strains. However, WKY rats exposed to EPM (10 mg/m super(3) 6 h/day, 1 day/week for 16 weeks) demonstrated cardiac lesions with inflammation and degeneration. To further characterize the nature of EPM- associated lesions, more rigorous histopathological and histochemical techniques were employed for WKY and SD rats. We examined the hearts for myocardial degeneration, inflammation, fibrosis, calcium deposits, apoptosis, and the presence of mast cells. Decreased numbers of granulated mast cells, and multifocal myocardial degeneration, chronic-active inflammation, and fibrosis were present in 5 of 6 WKY rats exposed to EPM for 16 weeks. None of these lesions were present in WKY exposed to clean air. EPM-related cardiac lesions were indistinguishable from air-exposed controls in SD and SH rats. This study demonstrates that long-term inhalation exposures to environmentally relevant PM containing bioavailable zinc can cause myocardial injury in sensitive rats. These findings provide supportive evidence for the epidemiological associations of cardiovascular morbidity and ambient PM.

Human subjects AN - 18670113; 5563912 AB - Pollutant particulate matter (PM) is a serious global problem, presenting a threat to the health and well being of human subjects. Inhalation exposures tests with surrogate animals can be performed to estimate the threat. However, it is difficult to extrapolate the findings of animal tests to human conditions. In this two-part series, interspecies dosimetry models especially designed for implementation with risk assessment protocols are presented. In Part I, the mathematical integrity of the source model per se was tested with data from human subjects, and theoretical predictions agreed well with experimental measurements. In Part II, for surrogate (rat) simulations, appropriate algorithms for morphologies and ventilatory parameters were used as subroutines in the validated model. We conducted a comprehensive series of computer simulations describing the behavior of a representative air pollutant, secondary cigarette smoke. For risk assessment interests, a range of states from rest to exercise was considered. PM hygroscopicity had a pronounced effect on deposition in a complex but systematic manner, in humans and rats: deposition was increased for particles larger than about 1 mu m, but was decreased for particles smaller than about 0.1 mu m. The results clearly indicate that dosimetry models can be effectively used to a priori determine the laboratory conditions necessary for animals tests to accurately mimic human conditions. Moreover, the use of interspecies models is very cost effective. We propose, therefore, that mathematical models be used in a complementary manner with inhalation exposure experiments and be actively integrated into PM risk assessment protocols.

This review has also shown that contiguous cleanup of residences has a three-fold greater reduction of children's blood lead levels compared with cleaning only those homes where children currently reside by reducing exposures attributable to neighboring properties. This review underscores the importance of a community- wide, preventative approach to controlling lead contamination in soil and house dust. This review has further characterized the need for careful design, implementation, and perpetual maintenance of a community-wide lead cleanup. Several key areas of importance to maintain large scale mining/smelting remedies in the Bunker Hill area were analyzed and noted for further action, including: infrastructure, institutional controls for homeowner projects (post cleanup), erosion control for undeveloped hillsides with potential to impact the developed valley floor, drainage improvements and flood control, waste piles, and increasing the rate at which cleanup proceeds. Focusing on these areas is crucial to minimizing recontamination at a large scale lead cleanup.

An equal composition of live shoot and litter biomass from Oregon and North Carolina was burned in an enclosed monitored facility, and emissions were sampled with a modified ambient air sampling method. Seven tests resulted in an average PCDD/F toxic equivalency (TEQ) emission of 19 ng/kg burned, a value close to previous indirect estimates. Emissions from the Oregon biomass averaged 25 ng TEQ/kg burned (range: 14-47) and those from the North Carolina biomass averaged 15 ng TEQ/kg burned (range: 1-56). Source-specific distinctions in isomer patterns and homologue profiles, however, suggest that the type of biomass has a significant effect on the composition of the resulting PCDD/F emissions. The mass-specific emissions are about 20 times higher than the concentration of the extracted biomass, suggesting that PCDD/F emissions are not simply a result of vaporization of cuticle-bound PCDD/F but are formed predominantly during the biomass combustion.

AN - 72930669; 12505428 AB - Many modes of action for arsenic carcinogenesis have been proposed, but few theories have a substantial mass of supporting data. Three stronger theories of arsenic carcinogenesis are production of chromosomal abnormalities, promotion of carcinogenesis and oxidative stress. This article presents the oxidative stress theory along with some supporting experimental data. In the area of which arsenic species is causually active, recent data have suggested that trivalent methylated arsenic metabolites, particularly monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)) and dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)), have a great deal of biological activity. Some evidence now indicates that these trivalent, methylated, and relatively less ionizable arsenic metabolites may be unusually capable of interacting with cellular targets such as proteins and even DNA. Thus for inorganic arsenic, oxidative methylation followed by reduction to trivalency may be a activation, rather than a detoxification pathway. This would be particularly true for arsenate. In forming toxic and carcinogenic arsenic species, reduction from the pentavalent state to the trivalent state may be as or more important than methylation of arsenic.

Cosmochim. Acta 37 (1973) 367, Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 38 (1974) 887) has gained much attention in recent years as a mechanism to diminish Pb toxicity. Our research examined the in vitro formation of pyromorphite (K sub(sp) = 10 super(-25)) to significantly reduce Pb bioavailability via the reaction of PbCl sub(2) and Pb paint with cola soft drinks (regular, caffeine-free, and diet) that contain phosphoric acid. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy was employed to identify and quantify the crystal phases. The experiments consisted of a two-phase experimental design to simulate stomach and gastrointestinal (GI) conditions comprised of an initial reaction system (stomach) at pH 2.0 for 1 h at 37 degree C and second-phase conditions (GI tract) at pH 7.0 for 5 h at 37 degree C. The results showed that available Pb in solution was quickly transformed to pyromorphite by a precipitation mechanism. The PbCl sub(2) experiments observed over 90% Pb removal from solution within 30 s and nearly all (> 93-100%) of the Pb was converted to pyromorphite within 6 h. Similar results were observed in the Pb-paint system in which all of the available Pb initially available in solution was stabilized as pyromorphite within a short reaction period. While approximately 69% of the total Pb in the paint was converted to pyromorphite, there were minimal amounts of Pb in solution. It appeared that the dissolution mechanism allowing Pb in the paint to be released into the cola solution was repressed and was attributed to precipitation of pyromorphite on the surfaces of Pb-paint particles that inhibited further Pb release. The results of this research suggest that the in vivo formation of pyromorphite in children that ingest Pb-contaminated material (soil, dust, paint) with a phosphate source, such as a cola soft drink, may significantly reduce Pb bioavailability and allow passage of the pyromorphite material through the GI tract with minimal Pb absorption into the body.

Sixteen hens were randomly divided into four groups of four and dosed with a mixture of PCB105 (2,3,3',4,4'-pentachlorobiphenyl), PCB156 (2,3,3',4,4',5-hexachlorobiphenyl), PCB189 (2,3,3',4,4',5,5'-heptachlorobiphenyl), and technical grade endosulfan (3:1 ratio of alpha and beta isomers) at three different dose groups. The first 10 fertile eggs laid by each hen were collected, the even-numbered eggs incubated until hatched, and the odd numbered eggs were analyzed for test chemicals. Strong (r super(2)), significantly positive (p value) relationships were found between total PCB mass (ng) in CAMs and both total PCB concentrations (ng/g wet wt) in adults (r super(2) = 0.91, p = 0.0001) and eggs (r super(2) = 0.87, p = 0.0001). The relationship between total PCB mass in CAMs and hepatic cytochrome p450 isozyme activity in chicks (r super(2) = 0.49, p = 0.0001) and hens (r super(2) = 0.45, p = 0.014) was also significant but not as strong. This study shows that CAMs can be used to estimate avian exposure to PCBs and resultant biological response.

This paper examines the limitations of the TCLP and the way it is used by studying a particular example. Waste casting sand from brass foundries to which iron metal has been added passes the TCLP test but when placed in a landfill for several years may start to leach lead, copper, and zinc. Results of TCLP tests of waste sand alone and with the additives iron metal, zinc metal, hydrous ferric oxide, and hematite are reported. Three processes were studied: reduction by metallic iron, sorption by hydrous ferric oxide, and precipitation of hydroxides. Lead, copper, and zinc behave differently with respect to these three processes, and their measurement allows some deductions as to what is occurring in a TCLP test or a landfill. Iron addition does not result in long-term stabilization of a waste placed in the ground. The chemistry of a laboratory extraction can be very different from the chemistry of a waste placed in the environment. Wastes that are treated to pass the TCLP test, but are not permanently stabilized, are a threat to the environment.

To achieve this in the northern Gulf of Mexico, a pilot project was initiated to develop a user-driven, end-to-end (measurements to applications) observing system. A key strategy of the project is to coordinate existing state, federal and academic programs at an unprecedented level of collaboration and partnership. Resource managers charged with protection of public health and aquatic resources require immediate notice of algal events and a forecast of when, where and what adverse effects will likely occur. Further, managers require integrated analyses and interpretations, rather than raw data, to make effective decisions. Consequently, a functional observing system must collect and transform diverse measurements into usable forecasts. Data needed to support development of forecasts will include such properties as sea surface temperature, winds, currents and waves; precipitation and freshwater flows with related discharges of sediment and nutrients; salinity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll concentrations (in vivo fluorescence); and remotely-sensed spatial images of sea surface chlorophyll concentrations. These data will be provided via a mixture of discrete and autonomous in situ sensing with near real-time data telemetry, and remote sensing from space (SeaWiFS), aircraft (hyperspectral imagery) or land (high-frequency radar). With calibration across these platforms, the project will ultimately provide a 4-dimensional visualization of harmful algae events in a time frame suitable to resource managers.

As demand increases for high quality information that is relevant to environmental managers, environmental and natural resource agencies with limited budgets must look to interdisciplinary, collaborative approaches for the collection, analysis and reporting of data. The State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conferences (SOLEC) were begun in 1994 in response to reporting requirements of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the U.S. The biennial conferences provide independent, science-based reporting on the state of health of the Great Lakes ecosystem components. A suite of indicators necessary and sufficient to assess Great Lakes ecosystem status was introduced in 1998, and assessments based on a subset of the indicators were presented in 2000. Because SOLEC is a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional reporting venue, the SOLEC indicators require acceptance by a broad spectrum of stakeholders in the Great Lakes basin.

AN - 75732278; 14522191 AB - The toxic equivalency (TEQ) values of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are predicted with a model based on the homologue concentrations measured from a laboratory-scale reactor (124 data points), a package boiler (61 data points), and operating municipal waste incinerators (114 data points). Regardless of the three scales and types of equipment, the different temperature profiles, sampling emissions and/or solids (fly ash), and the various chemical and physical properties of the fuels, all the PCDF plots showed highly linear correlations (R(2)>0.99). The fitting lines of the reactor and the boiler data were almost linear with slope of unity, whereas the slope of the municipal waste incinerator data was 0.86, which is caused by higher predicted values for samples with high measured TEQ. The strong correlation also implies that each of the 10 toxic PCDF congeners has a constant concentration relative to its respective total homologue concentration despite a wide range of facility types and combustion conditions. The PCDD plots showed significant scatter and poor linearity, which implies that the relative concentration of PCDD TEQ congeners is more sensitive to variations in reaction conditions than that of the PCDF congeners.

AN - 73505943; 12874811 AB - Small studies in human populations have suggested a correlation between the frequency of errors in antigen receptor gene assembly and lymphoid malignancy risk. In particular, agricultural workers exposed to pesticides have both an increased risk for lymphoma and an increased frequency of errors in antigen receptor gene assembly. In order to further investigate the potential of such errors to serve as a mechanistically based biomarker of lymphoid cancer risk, we have developed a sensitive PCR assay for quantifying errors of V(D)J recombination in the thymocytes of mice. This assay measures interlocus rearrangements between two T-cell receptor loci, V-gamma and J-beta, located on chromosomes 13 and 6, respectively. The baseline frequency in four strains of mice was determined at several ages (2-8 weeks of age) and was found to be stable at approximately 1.5 x 10(-5) per thymocyte. Strain AKR, which has a high susceptibility to T-cell lymphomas, did not show an elevated frequency of aberrant V(D)J events. We used this assay to examine the effects of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on the frequency of these events. Female B6C3F1 mice, 27 days of age, were exposed to 2,4-D by gavage at doses of 0, 3, 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg/day for 4 successive days and sacrificed on day 5. Thymus DNA was isolated and examined for illegitimate V(D)J recombination-mediated gene rearrangements. In addition, pregnant mice were exposed to 2,4-D and thymocytes from the offspring examined at 2 weeks of age. No significant increase in aberrant V(D)J rearrangements was found, indicating that under these conditions 2,4-D does not appear to effect this important mechanism of carcinogenesis.

AN - 73407563; 12810324 AB - Pest control agents, such as juvenile hormone analogues (JHA), have been developed to limit effects on non-target organisms that co-inhabit insect pest habitats. Rhithropanopeus harrisii, an estuarine xanthid crab, was used to observe the impacts of the JHA, fenoxycarb, on the pattern of complete larval development as well as survival of larvae and successful metamorphosis to first crab stage. Significant mortality occurred in the first of four zoeal stages (after 2-3 days of exposure) at the highest treatment of 240 microg fenoxycarb/l and in megalopae exposed to 48 microg fenoxycarb/l. The time required to metamorphose to the first crab stage was significantly increased for megalopae in all treatments 48 microg/l. This delay in development was sufficient to significantly prolong the entire developmental period from zoea to crabs. Unexposed larvae developed to crabs in an average of 16 days; larvae exposed to >/=48 microg/l required 19-20 days. Reduced survival and extended duration of developing larval stages in the life history of a benthic invertebrate may alter the population dynamics of these organisms in the estuary.

AN - 73380352; 12810312 AB - Water quality data from 55 monitoring wells during drought conditions surrounding Lake Texoma, located on the border of Oklahoma and Texas, was compared to assess the influence of drought on groundwater quality. During the drought month of October, water table levels were three feet (0.9 m) lower compared with several months earlier under predrought climate conditions. Detection frequencies of nitrate (> 0.1 mg/l), orthophosphates (> 0.1 mg/l), chlorides (> MCL), and sulfates (> MCL) all increased during drought. Orthophosphate level was higher during drought. Largest increases in concentration were nitrate under both agriculture lands and in septic tank areas. An increase in ammonium-nitrogen was only detected in the septic tank area. The study showed that stressors such as nitrate and total salts could potentially become a health or environmental problem during drought.

AN - 73177071; 12674403 AB - The use of plant based systems in hazardous waste management or site clean up is growing at a rapid rate. Major hurdles to implementation will be encountered by proponents if essential regulatory policies and regulations are not understood or addressed early in the project development. Understanding the regulatory requirements or issues as they relate to innovative clean up approaches such as phytotechnologies are critical to the successful implementation and long-term monitoring of these technologies. This chapter will address the issues that regulators may have in applying phytotechnologies to site conditions or contaminants, designing phytoremediation projects, monitoring or maintaining the systems for the long-term, establishing performance criteria, and demonstrating achievement of performance goals.

Evapotranspiration cover systems offer an alternative to conventional landfill cap systems. These covers work on completely different principles than traditional covers do, and that difference may slow understanding and acceptance by site owners, regulators, and stakeholders. This chapter provides an introduction to this alternative technique and explains some of the common concerns regarding its implementation.

AN - 73137419; 12652814 AB - In the lower airways, macrophages are important regulators of inflammation and indispensable in their antimicrobial activities. Thus, air pollution particles, which modulate airway macrophage host defenses may, in susceptible individuals, increase severity of inflammatory and infectious disease. In the present study, size fractionated, ultrafine (UF), fine (PM0.1-2.5), and coarse (PM2.5-10) particulate matter (PM) were collected from 2 urban sites in the Netherlands, and were compared for effects on human alveolar macrophages (AM). Inflammatory cytokine production, phagocytosis, and expression of phagocyte receptor CD11b were assessed in particle-exposed AM. Interleukin (IL)-6 levels induced by PM2.5-10 (20411 pg/mL) were > 10-fold higher than induced by PM0.1-2.5 (1781 pg/mL). Levels induced by PM0.1-2.5 were 2- to 3-fold higher than induced by UF (770 pg/mL) when cells were exposed to the same particle mass. Cytokine induction by the PM was inhibited by antibody to CD14 and required the presence of serum for optimal stimulation, implying that bacterial products or endotoxin were stimulatory moieties in both coarse and fine particulate matter. Phagocytosis of opsonized yeast was inhibited by coarse more than by fine PM, as was yeast-induced oxidative burst. Coarse particles decreased CD11b expression more than fine PM. The UF did not affect these functions. Taken together, these results suggest that PM recognition by human AM involves receptors evolved to recognize microbial cell structures, and that microbial products preferentially found in the coarse particle fraction of PM may be involved in inflammatory events and decreased pulmonary defenses associated with exposure to pollution particles.

AN - 73068779; 12620005 AB - The Great Lakes may be viewed as a coastal environment, affected by the same meteorological and physical forces as the coastal ocean. The U.S. EPA, Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) has monitored the open waters of the lakes, annually, since 1983. As part of the U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP), a pilot study was performed in Lake Michigan to compare the existing GLNPO deterministic sampling grid with the EMAP probabilistic grid. Results of chemical analyses of trophic status indicators (total phosphorus and chlorophyll a) as well as nutrients and conventional limnological measurements, from spring and summer surveys in 1992 indicate little difference between the grids in the offshore region of the lake. The few statistically significant differences may be due to station distribution throughout the lake, or simple chance. This might be expected due to the well mixed nature of the open waters of Lake Michigan. The detection of a long-term trend for total phosphorus in Lake Michigan benefits from an annual program: viewing cumulative frequency distributions based on a four year EMAP interval does not convey information on the decrease in phosphorus in the lake. If the EMAP sampling grid were to be used in the Great Lakes, pilots in each of the lakes would be necessary for utilization of the existing long-term record as a basis for trend detection.

AN - 73067926; 12620011 AB - Understanding the ecology, condition, and changes of coastal areas requires data from many sources. Broad-scale and long-term ecological questions, such as global climate change, biodiversity, and cumulative impacts of human activities, must be addressed with databases that integrate data from several different research and monitoring programs. Various barriers, including widely differing data formats, codes, directories, systems, and metadata used by individual programs, make such integration troublesome. Coastal data partnerships, by helping overcome technical, social, and organizational barriers, can lead to a better understanding of environmental issues, and may enable better management decisions. Characteristics of successful data partnerships include a common need for shared data, strong collaborative leadership, committed partners willing to invest in the partnership, and clear agreements on data standards and data policy. Emerging data and metadata standards that become widely accepted are crucial. New information technology is making it easier to exchange and integrate data. Data partnerships allow us to create broader databases than would be possible for any one organization to create by itself.

AN - 73030794; 12588546 AB - Current US regulations (40 CFR 503) for 'Class A' biosolids (treated sewage sludge) requires use of multiple-tube fermentation techniques for fecal coliform or multiple tube enrichment techniques for Salmonella spp. followed by isolation and biochemical and serologic confirmation. The technical difficulties and the time required to complete the procedure for enumeration of Salmonellae in biosolids and sludges has limited the use of this assay. This study was conducted to determine if a commercially available molecular probe system could be used to isolate and enumerate Salmonella spp. in biosolids or sludges in less time than cultural techniques with biochemical confirmation. Several types of treated and untreated municipal sludges were assayed for Salmonellae using a cultural technique with biochemical and serologic confirmation and a DNA probe diagnostic test kit. The results indicate that the molecular probe and the conventional fermentation tube technique yielded equivalent results. Interestingly, the probe technique yielded results within 52 h following initiation of sample analysis compared with the conventional fermentation tube technique with confirmation which required approx. 120 h. These results suggest that the molecular probe system used for this work may be used to determine the presence or absence of Salmonella spp. in biosolids within a relatively short time frame. The ease of using the DNA probe test kit, along with its ability to produce results in less than half the time of conventional culture techniques, suggests that this assay is useful for determining the presence or absence of Salmonellae in biosolids samples.

AN - 73028595; 12595884 AB - Superfund sites that are contaminated with lead and undergoing remedial action generate lead-enriched dust that can be released into the air. Activities that can emit lead-enriched dust include demolition of lead smelter buildings, stacks, and baghouses; on-site traffic of heavy construction vehicles; and excavation of soil. Typically, air monitoring stations are placed around the perimeter of a site of an ongoing remediation to monitor air lead concentrations that might result from site emissions. The National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standard, established in 1978 to be a quarterly average of 1.5 microg/m(3), is often used as a trigger level for corrective action to reduce emissions. This study explored modeling approaches for assessing potential risks to children from air lead emissions from the RSR Superfund site in West Dallas, TX, during demolition and removal of a smelter facility. The EPA Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic (IEUBK) model and the International Commission of Radiologic Protection (ICRP) lead model were used to simulate blood lead concentrations in children, based on monitored air lead concentrations. Although air lead concentrations at monitoring stations located in the downwind community intermittently exceeded the NAAQ standard, both models indicated that exposures to children in the community areas did not pose a significant long-term or acute risk. Long-term risk was defined as greater than 5% probability of a child having a long-term blood lead concentration that exceeded 10 microg/dl, which is the CDC and the EPA blood lead concern level. Short-term or acute risk was defined as greater than 5% probability of a child having a blood lead concentration on any given day that exceeded 20 microg/dl, which is the CDC trigger level for medical evaluation (this is not intended to imply that 20 microg/dl is a threshold for health effects in children exposed acutely to airborne lead). The estimated potential long-term and short-term exposures at the downwind West Dallas community did not result in more than 5% of children exceeding the target blood lead levels. The models were also used to estimate air lead levels for short-term and long-term exposures that would not exceed specified levels of risk (risk-based concentrations, RBCs). RBCs were derived for various daily exposure durations (3 or 8 h/day) and frequencies (1-7 days/week). RBCs based on the ICRP model ranged from 0.3 (7 days/week, 8 h/day) to 4.4 microg/m(3) (1 day/week, 3 h/day) for long-term exposures and were lower than those based on the IEUBK model. For short-term exposures, the RBCs ranged from 3.5 to 29.0 microg/m(3). Recontamination of remediated residential yards from deposition of air lead emitted during remedial activities at the RSR Superfund site was also examined. The predicted increase in soil concentration due to lead deposition at the monitoring station, which represented the community at large, was 3.0 mg/kg. This potential increase in soil lead concentration was insignificant, less than 1% increase, when compared to the clean-up level of 500 mg/kg developed for residential yards at the site.

AN - 73016853; 12572810 AB - Seven retail hydroponic nitrate fertilizer products, two liquid and five solid, were comparatively analyzed for the perchlorate anion (ClO4-) by ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection, complexation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (cESI-MS), normal Raman spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy using an attenuated total reflectance crystal (ATR-FTIR) coated with a thin film of an organometallic ion-exchange compound. Three of the five solid products were found by all techniques to contain perchlorate at the level of approximately 100-350 mg kg(-1). The remaining products did not contain perchlorate above the detection level of any of the techniques. Comparative analysis using several analytical techniques that depend on different properties of perchlorate allow for a high degree of certainty in both the qualitative and quantitative determinations. This proved particularly useful for these samples, due to the complexity of the matrix. Analyses of this type, including multiple spectroscopic confirmations, may also be useful for other complicated matrixes (e.g., biological samples) or in forensic/regulatory frameworks where data are likely to be challenged. While the source of perchlorate in these hydroponic products is not known, the perchlorate-to-nitrate concentration ratio (w/w) in the aqueous extracts is generally consistent with the historical weight percent of water soluble components in caliche, a nitrate-bearing ore found predominantly in Chile. This ore, which is the only well-established natural source of perchlorate, is mined and used, albeit minimally, as a nitrogen source in some fertilizer products.

We installed a series of nested piezometers along three transects at each site to examine NO3-N in shallow ground water in grass seed fields and riparian areas. Results showed that a noncultivated riparian zone comprised of grasses and herbaceous vegetation significantly reduced NO3-N concentrations of shallow ground water moving from grass seed fields. Darcy's law-based estimates of shallow ground water flow through riparian zone A/E horizons revealed that this water flowpath could account for only a very small percentage of the streamflow. Even though there is great potential for NO3-N to be reduced as water moves through the noncultivated riparian zone with grass-herbaceous vegetation, the potential was not fully realized because only a small proportion of the stream flow interacts with riparian zone soils. Consequently, effective NO3-N water quality management in poorly drained landscapes similar to the study watershed is primarily dependent on implementation of sound agricultural practices within grass seed fields and is less influenced by riparian zone vegetation. Wise fertilizer application rates and timing are key management tools to reduce export of NO3-N in stream waters.

AN - 72949575; 12515685 AB - The gene for vitellogenin, an egg yolk protein precursor, is usually silent in male fish but can be induced by estrogen exposure. For this reason, vitellogenin production in male fish has become a widely used indicator of exposure to exogenous estrogens or estrogen mimics in the aquatic environment. The utility of this indicator to predict impacts on fish reproductive success is unclear because information on the relationship between male plasma vitellogenin and reproductive end points in male and female fish is limited. In the research reported in this article, we investigated whether the presence of male plasma vitellogenin is a reliable indicator of decreased reproductive success in mature fish. Adult and sexually mature male and female cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus) were exposed to 17ss-estradiol, ethynylestradiol, or estrone, three steroidal estrogens that elicit the vitellogenic response. Data were gathered and pooled on egg production, egg viability, egg fertility, sperm motility, and male plasma vitellogenin concentrations. All males, including two with plasma vitellogenin levels exceeding 300 mg/mL, produced motile sperm. Neither percent fertile eggs nor percent viable eggs produced by reproductively active fish demonstrated a significant correlation with male plasma vitellogenin concentrations. Male gonadosomatic index and average daily egg production by females showed significant, but weak, negative correlation with male plasma vitellogenin concentrations. Results suggest that male plasma vitellogenin expression is not a reliable indicator of male reproductive dysfunction in adult cunner exposed to estrogens for 2-8 weeks during their reproductive season, at least in relation to capacity to produce motile sperm or fertilize eggs. Male plasma vitellogenin expression may serve as an indicator of reduced female reproductive function caused by estrogen exposure.

AN - 72944920; 12515688 AB - Levels of chemicals in humans (body burdens) are useful indicators of environmental quality and of community health. Chemical body burdens are easily monitored using breast milk samples collected from first-time mothers (primiparae) with infants 2-8 weeks of age. Currently, there is no body-burden monitoring program using breast milk in the United States, although ad hoc systems operate successfully in several European countries. In this article we describe the value of such monitoring and important considerations of how it might be accomplished, drawing from our experiences with pilot monitoring projects. Breast milk has several advantages as a sampling matrix: It is simple and noninvasive, with samples collected by the mother. It monitors body burdens in reproductive-age women and it estimates in utero and nursing-infant exposures, all important to community health. Time-trend data from breast milk monitoring serve as a warning system that identifies chemicals whose body burdens and human exposures are increasing. Time trends also serve as a report card on how well past regulatory actions have reduced environmental chemical exposures. Body-burden monitoring using breast milk should include educational programs that encourage breast-feeding. Finally, and most important, clean breast milk matters to people and leads to primary prevention--the limiting of chemical exposures. We illustrate these advantages with polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a formerly obscure group of brominated flame retardants that rose to prominence and were regulated in Sweden when residue levels were found to be rapidly increasing in breast milk. A community-based body-burden monitoring program using breast milk could be set up in the United States in collaboration with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). WIC has a large number of lactating first-time mothers: It has 6,000 clinics nationwide and serves almost half (47%) the infants born in the United States. Educational programs (e.g., those run by WIC) are needed that encourage breast-feeding, especially in lower-income communities where breast-feeding rates are low and where breast-feeding may help protect the infant from the effects of environmental chemical exposures. Education is also needed about reducing chemical body burdens. A body-burden monitoring program would provide valuable data on time trends, background levels, and community hot spots in need of mitigation and follow-up health studies; develop analytic methods for new chemicals of concern; and archive breast milk samples for future analyses of other agents.

AN - 72896635; 12498522 AB - As part of a study covering the whole of Bavaria, the southern most of Germany's 16 states, water supply facilities were examined to determine the radon (222Rn) concentrations in ground water and indoor air and the radon exposure to the staff working in these buildings. Bavaria can be divided into ten geological regions of different geogenic radon potential. From each region, a number of water supply facilities proportional to the size of the region were selected for measurements. Over 500 of a total number of 2,600 water supply facilities were asked to take a 1-L groundwater sample and expose several track-etch detectors in order to obtain the mean room concentration of the main staff work places. In addition, for a period of 2 mo, the personnel had to wear a track-etch detector during the time they spent in the supply facilities. The resulting measurements were then used to estimate their individual effective dose of radon and its progenies. In the East Bavarian crystalline region, the region of the highest geogenic radon potential within Bavaria, indoor radon gas concentrations of up to 400 kBq m(-3) were observed. About 10% of the process controllers in this region are subjected to an annual effective dose of more than 20 mSv. In the other Bavarian regions, only 2% of staff exposure levels exceed this limit. The correlation between the radon concentration measurements of the indoor air, the ground water, and individual personnel exposure levels was determined. The average ratio of the radon indoor air to the processed groundwater concentration is 0.14. But due to the different types of ventilation in the various supply facilities, there can be great variations in this figure. Therefore, there is no clear relationship between the groundwater and the indoor air concentration of a supply facility. This study also reveals no clear relationship between radon indoor air concentrations and the personnel exposure levels of a supply facility.

AN - 72878496; 12388087 AB - Residual oil fly ash (ROFA) is a pollutant dust that stimulates production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from mitochondria and apoptosis in alveolar macrophages (AM), but the relationship between these two processes is unclear. In this study, human AM were incubated with ROFA or vanadyl sulfate (VOSO(4)), the major metal constituent in ROFA, with or without nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), and mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors. Interactions among production of ROS, nitric oxide (NO), and apoptosis of AM were determined. ROFA-stimulated ROS production was attenuated by DPI, rotenone, antimycin, and NaN(3), but not by L-NAME, a pattern mimicked by VOSO(4). ROFA-induced apoptosis was inhibited by L-NAME and a caspase-3-like protease inhibitor, but not by mitochondrial inhibitors. ROFA enhanced NO-mediated increase in caspase-3-like activity. VOSO(4) had minor effects on apoptosis. Thus ROFA-stimulated production of ROS from mitochondria was independent of apoptosis of AM, which was mediated by activation of caspase-3-like proteases and NO. The pro-oxidant effect but not the proapoptotic effect of ROFA was mediated by vanadium. JF - American journal of physiology.

AN - 72874859; 12476357 AB - Lung diseases caused by the inhalation of various particulate pollutants have often been reported to occur at specific sites in the lung with some diseases preferentially occurring in one of the lobes. Models for the dosimetry of particulate matter in the lung, therefore, need to be developed at a level of resolution that allows for the study of lobar- and airway-specific patterns of deposition. Using an approach best described as a combination of asymmetric and symmetric approaches to modeling lung geometry, we calculated deposition of particulate matter (PM) ranging from ultrafine to coarse particles in each airway down to the level of the lobar bronchi. Further down the airway tree, we calculated deposition averaged over an airway generation in each lung lobe. We compared our results for regional and lobar deposition with various experimental data as well as with results from other models. The calculated results compared reasonably well with experimental data. Significant variations in deposition were observed among the lobar bronchi as well as among the five lobes. The differences among the lobes were accentuated as one examined generation-specific deposition. Deposition per unit surface area of each lobar bronchus was considerably elevated relative to that calculated for the whole lung. The relative distribution of aerosol deposited per unit surface area among the lobar bronchi was altered by breathing condition and aerosol size.

AN - 71515048; 14746010 AB - Lead regulations and standards have resulted in a lower exposure to lead in the general population of the United States of America. This paper highlights some of the know-how developed through lead-containing experiences, particularly regarding lead content in air and water. The availability of a solid and clear scientific knowledge is central to the success of these policies. Collateral effects of some air-related standards show the extent to which problem-oriented efforts may be beneficial in other areas, inasmuch as they may have untoward consequences if careful planning and evaluation are not considered. Finally, this paper presents a discussion of the differences between centralized and decentralized approaches to lead exposure control.

TT - Intervención ambiental en sitios contaminados por plomo: la experiencia en los Estados Unidos de América. AN - 71514667; 14746009 AB - For a decade, state and federal agencies have worked jointly with communities throughout the USA, with the objective of measuring the health-risk from lead pollution in residential zones. Often these communities have been linked with facilities previously associated with activities like mining and metallurgy; nevertheless, there are other industries like paint manufacturing and battery recycling, that have also been identified as lead pollution sources. The vast experience in cleaning up the contaminated sites has shown that ample programs designed to identify and handle the exposure routes can help, in an effective manner, to diminish blood lead levels (BLL) in susceptible populations, such as in young children. Environmental intervention programs are more effective when the affected communities carry out health education/intervention programs, geared towards the development of individualized strategies for handling the risk implied by the presence of lead in the atmosphere.

AN - 71497182; 14708090 AB - Retinoic acid (RA) alters the developmental fate of the axial skeletal anlagen. "Anteriorizations" or "posteriorizations," the assumption of characteristics of embryonic areas normally anterior or posterior to the affected tissues, are correlated with altered embryonal expression domains of Hox genes after in utero RA treatment. These "homeotic" changes have been hypothesized to result from alterations of a "Hox cod" which imparts positional identity in the axial skeleton. To investigate whether such developmental alterations were specific to RA, or were a more general response to xenobiotic exposure, CD-1 pregnant mice were exposed to RA, valproic acid (VA), or bromoxynil (Br) during organogenesis. Additionally, the expression domains of two Hox genes, Hoxa7 and Hoxa10, were examined in gestation day (GD) 12.5 embryos obtained from control, RA, VA, or Br, treated gravid dams exposed on GD 6, 7, or 8. The anterior expression boundary of Hoxa7 is at the level of the C7/T1 vertebrae and that of Hoxa10 is at L6/S1. Compound-induced changes in the incidence of skeletal variants were observed. These included supernumerary cervical ribs (CSNR) lateral to C7, 8 vertebrosternal ribs, supernumerary lumbar ribs (LSNR) lateral to L1, extra presacral vertebrae, and the induction of vertebral and/or rib malformations. RA and VA administration on GD 6 caused posteriorization in the cervico-thoracic region (CSNR) while GD 8 exposure to any of the three compounds resulted in anteriorizations in the thoraco-lumbar area (LSNR and an increase in the number of presacral vertebrae). These effects occurred across regions of the axial skeleton. Analysis of gene expression demonstrated changes in the anterior boundaries of Hoxa7 expression domains in embryos treated on GD 6 and 8 with RA. VA and Br did not induce any statistically significant alterations in Hoxa7 and none of the compounds caused alterations in Hoxa10 expression domains. The studies indicate that RA GD 6 treatment-induced Hoxa7 shifts were rostral (posteriorization) while the RA-induced GD 8 anterior expression boundary shift was caudal (anteriorization), correlating with the axial skeletal changes noted. These data suggest that xenobiotic compounds such as VA and Br may induce similar axial skeletal changes by affecting different components of the developmental processes involved in the patterning of the axial skeleton.

AN - 71264295; 14556226 AB - Arsenic is a prevalent human carcinogen whose mutagenicity has not been characterized fully. Exposure to either form of inorganic arsenic, As(III) or As(V), can result in the formation of at least four organic metabolites: monomethylarsonic acid, monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)), dimethylarsinic acid, and dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)). The methylated trivalent species, as well as some of the other species, have not been evaluated previously for the induction of chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges (SCE), or toxicity in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes; for mutagenicity in L5178Y/Tk(+/-) mouse lymphoma cells or in the Salmonella reversion assay; or for prophage-induction in Escherichia coli. Here we evaluated the arsenicals in these assays and found that MMA(III) and DMA(III) were the most potent clastogens of the six arsenicals in human lymphocytes and the most potent mutagens of the six arsenicals at the Tk(+/-) locus in mouse lymphoma cells. The dimethylated arsenicals were also spindle poisons, suggesting that they may be ultimate forms of arsenic that induce aneuploidy. Although the arsenicals were potent clastogens, none were potent SCE inducers, similar to clastogens that act via reactive oxygen species. None of the six arsenicals were gene mutagens in Salmonella TA98, TA100, or TA104; and neither MMA(III) nor DMA(III) induced prophage. Our results show that both methylated As(V) compounds were less cytotoxic and genotoxic than As(V), whereas both methylated As(III) compounds were more cytotoxic and genotoxic than As(III). Our data support the view that MMA(III) and DMA(III) are candidate ultimate genotoxic forms of arsenic and that they are clastogens and not gene mutagens. We suggest that the clastogenicity of the other arsenicals is due to their metabolism by cells to MMA(III) or DMA(III).

The principal inorganic arsenic species in anoxic aquatic systems are arsenite, As(OH) (sub 3) (super 0) , and a mononuclear thioarsenite with an S/As ratio of 3:1. Thioarsenic species with S/As ratios of 1:1, 2:1, and 4:1 are lesser components in sulfidic solutions that might be encountered in natural aquatic environments. Thioarsenites dominate arsenic speciation at sulfide concentrations > 10 (super -4.3) M at neutral pH. Conversion from neutral As(OH) (sub 3) (super 0) to anionic thioarsenite species may regulate the transport and fate of arsenic in sulfate-reducing environments by governing sorption and mineral precipitation reactions.

To investigate the latter, we subjected interstitial water from three contaminated silty sediments to toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) phase I manipulations and tested for toxicity with four bioassays: the amphipod Corophium volutator (survival as an endpoint), the sea urchin Psammechinus miliaris (fertilization, embryo development) and the bacterium Vibrio fischeri (bioluminescence inhibition). The graduated pH manipulations identified the prominent toxicity of ammonia in the amphipod and sea urchin embryo tests, and also sulfide toxicity in the bacterium test. In two of the three samples tested with the amphipods, sea urchin embryos and bacteria, a small but significant reduction in interstitial water toxicity was achieved by removing persistent compounds through C (sub 18) solid phase extraction. EDTA chelation resulted in a slight detoxification of the interstitial water for the amphipods and sea urchin embryos, but this was not related to any measured trace metals. Despite the presence of toxic levels of ammonia and sulfide in the harbor sediments, we established the adverse biological effects of persistent constituents by means of the TIE manipulations and in vivo interstitial water bioassays.

The Turner Designs Model 10-AU-005 Field Fluorometer allows for frequent fluorescence readings, data logging, and easy downloading to a laptop computer. By necessity, the data are periodically broken up into blocks to facilitate downloading and minimize data loss. Unfortunately, the downloaded data does not appear in a readily usable form for discerning trends or for use in modeling packages. A new computer program, FLOWTHRU, bypasses block headers, reads the downloaded data, identifies the time-concentration units used, and relates the data to injection time. All preinjection time-concentration data are accorded background data status and are written to a background file with average temperature values included. All time values recorded after injection time are rewritten into decimal time using time units chosen by the user. FLOWTHRU also allows users to view the data converted to decimal time directly on the computer monitor without program interruption or to go directly to the data plotting routine. Data plotting is extremely rapid and clear with a smooth line connecting each data point. Each data plot may be saved as a file in a common format.

The sinkholes have very low relief, and are difficult to detect without high-resolution topographic data. This is due to both genetic factors and burial by glacial sediments. However, although subtle, these features have been significant routes for groundwater impact by agricultural, industrial, and municipal contaminants. A study to evaluate the origin and morphology of the sinkholes was undertaken as one of many steps by Ohio EPA to improve water quality.

Unlike current covers that use hydraulic barriers to prevent water from reaching the waste, ET covers rely on the simple concept of using water balance components to meet this goal. Depending on site conditions and other factors, ET covers may be less costly to construct, while still offering performance equivalent to conventional covers. While ET covers are being proposed, tested, or installed at a number of contaminated sites, field performance data remain limited. To address the need for more information, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been conducting several efforts to make available more information about this promising alternative solution. This article summarizes these efforts and provides information on the current status of using ET covers at contaminated sites. JF - Remediation (New York, N.Y.)

Specific project goals include characterization of the fuel cell power plant emissions and verification of the GPU performance for removing sulfur contaminants. To remove halide contaminants from the ADG, a halide guard, consisting of a vessel with a metal oxide supported on alumina, was incorporated into the fuel cell reactant supply. This first-of-a-kind demonstration was conducted at the Yonkers, NY, wastewater treatment plant, a sewage processing facility owned and operated by Westchester County. Results have demonstrated that the ADG fuel cell power plant can produce electrical output levels close to full power (200 kW) with negligible air emissions of CO, NO sub(x), and SO sub(2). The GPU removed virtually 100% of H sub(2)S and 88% of organic sulfur, bringing the overall sulfur removal efficiency of the GPU to over 99%. The halide guard removed up to 96% of the halides exiting the GPU.

AN - 27932591; 200410-31-05479 (CE); 05967590 (EN) AB - During the development phase of an air quality dispersion model and in subsequent upgrades, model performance is constantly evaluated. These evaluations generally compare simulation results using simple methods that do not account for the fact that models only predict a portion of the variability seen in the observations. To fill a part of this void, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed a standard that has been adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), designation D6589 Standard Guide for the Statistical Evaluation of Atmospheric Dispersion Model Performance. Within the annex to this standard is an 'example' test method that tests the ability of dispersion models to simulate the average centreline concentration. The method involves grouping observed data into groups or regimes, in which the dispersion is expected to be somewhat similar. The average centreline concentration is then derived for each group using bootstrap resampling. It is this average centreline concentration that is then compared with the modelling results. By this means, the focus is on testing the ability of models to replicate the first moment (the average) of the centreline concentration distribution, which for most operational models is the only feature in the centreline concentration distribution they are capable of simulating. This paper will focus on recent work to further test the ASTM 'example' test method. This work involved the application of the test method to the results from ADMS (version 3.1), AERMOD (versions 98022 and 02161), HPDM (version 4.3, level 920605) and ISCST3 (version 00101). Three atmospheric dispersion field studies are analysed - Prairie Grass (in 1956, rural, low level release), Kincaid (1980, rural, elevated release) and Indianapolis (1985, urban, elevated release).

The standard membrane filtration method was used to enumerate the microorganisms. All organisms, except for Escherichia coli, showed an increase in the measured concentration after blending samples at 22,000 rpm with or without the chemical mixture. Other than fecal streptococci, the organism concentrations decreased with the addition of the Camper's solution in both blended and unblended samples before analyses. There was a statistically significant interaction between the effects of Camper's solution and the effects of blending for all the organisms tested, except for total coliform. Blending did not alter the mean particle size significantly. The results show no correlation between increased total coliform, fecal coliform, and fecal streptococcus concentrations and the mean particle size.

However, with urbanization the percent of impervious surfaces increases dramatically resulting in increased flood volumes, peak discharge rates, velocities and duration, and a significant increase in pollutant loads. Storm water and urban runoff are the leading causes of the impairment of receiving waters and their beneficial uses in Australia and the United States today. Strict environmental and technology controls on wastewater treatment facilities and industry for more than three decades have ensured that these sources are less significant today as the cause of impairment of receiving waters. This paper compares the approach undertaken by the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria for the Melbourne metropolitan area with the approach implemented by the California Environmental Protection Agency for the Los Angeles area to control storm water pollution. Both these communities are largely similar in population size and the extent of urbanization. The authors present an analysis of the different approaches contrasting Australia with the USA, comment on their comparative success, and discuss the relevance of the two experiences for developed and developing nations in the context of environmental policy making to control storm water and urban runoff pollution.

HB densities decreased while AOB densities increased when chloramine was added. AOB densities decreased below detection limits after the disinfection treatment was switched back to chlorination. The presence of AOB was confirmed using a group-specific 16S rDNA-PCR method. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that most bacterial isolates from feed water, discharge water, and biofilm samples were -Proteobacteria or -Proteobacteria. The latter bacterial groups were also numerically dominant among the sequences recovered from water and biofilm 16S rDNA clone libraries. The relative frequency of each culturable bacterial group was different for each sample examined. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of total community 16S rDNA genes showed notable differences between the microbial community structure of biofilm samples and feed water. The results of this study suggest that disinfection treatments could influence the type of bacterial community inhabiting water distribution systems.

Used process waters are brackish and unsuitable for reuse in the refinery. They have traditionally been stored in tailings ponds for evaporation, or discharged to sea under environmental authority. The development has demonstrated the potential for large-scale industrial desalination plants by recycling wastewater for reuse in the plant. By recycling this 12 ML/day waste stream, the refinery's new water input has been reduced by 40%. The utilisation of electro-magnetic anti-scaling technology in the reverse osmosis system is also discussed. No anti-scalant chemicals are used in the process.

Experimental results conducted in a four sieve-tray tower showed that ATWE absorbed SO2 in flue gas effectively. At a gas:liquid (G:L) ratio of 110:1, the respective SO2 removal efficiencies were 99% and 95% for flue gases containing 1,600 and 5,000 Mg/kL of SO2. When the G:L ratio increased to 220:1, the removal efficiency was slightly lowered to 93% for the flue gas containing 1,600 Mg/kL of SO2. ATWE had higher buffer capacity and SO2 removal efficiencies as compared to seawater, a common SO2 scrubbing medium serving as control. In addition, the equilibrium equation between SO2 partial pressure and concentration of bisulfite (HSO3-) in ATWE and the kinetic equation describing the rate of SO2 absorption in the sieve-tray tower by ATWE were established. The absorbing coefficients in the kinetic equation were determined to be 1.96 0.37 mol/(m2asabar) for gas phase and 0.00184 0.00049 m/s for liquid film. The enhancement factor of the absorbing coefficient in liquid film was 14.28 1.79, resulting in 93% of the decrease of liquid film resistance. The SO2 absorption rate in the sieve-tray tower was mainly affected by the gas film resistance, representing 96% of the total resistance. Experimental results of this study confirmed that the removal of SO2 from the flue gas of coal power plants by ATWE was cost-effective. This process does not require the addition of any chemicals and produces no secondary pollution.

This enabled the investigation of the relationship between malignancy and patterns of dynamic morphology in neoplastic cells in vitro. Time? lapse cinemicroscopy was used to analyse the cell behaviour of three rat neoplastic cell lines (K2, T15, and A8), differing in metastatic potential, that were instrumental in revealing a coincidence between high migratory activity and appearance of the 3D structure of actin cables in high-malignant A8 cells (Pokorna et al., 1994). A set of criteria was established for visual classification of cell morphology. Matching the pattern of cell morphology with locomotory activity led to identification of four dynamic morphotypes. Cell speed was determined by tracking and the dynamic morphotypes assigned by the operator. All the three cell populations were studied for incidence of the dynamic morphotypes in culture media differing in pH: 6.6 simulating acid extracellular condition in tumours, physiological 7.4, and alkaline 8.2. The results showed that acid pH stimulated motile activity in the intermediate-malignant T15 and most malignant A8 cells. The T15 and A8 cells also manifested a prolonged continuation of fast locomotion in the early Gl phase and displayed a prevalence of two fast moving dynamic morphotypes: asymmetric stellate and triangle with leading lamella.

This work describes a cultural enrichment method coupled with an H. pylori- specific PCR to identify these bacteria in water. While far from perfected at the present time, this represents an exciting new approach to studying the significance of water as a transmission mechanism for H. pylori. Evidence is presented that indicates culturable H. pylori bacteria were found using this enrichment/PCR method in a local groundwater source.Original Abstract: da man bisher nicht in der Lage war, die Anwesenheit lebensfaehiger Helicobacter pylori-Bakterien in Proben aus der aquatischen Umwelt nachzuweisen, konnte die Rolle des Wassers bei der Uebertragung dieses Krankheitserregers nicht eingeschaetzt werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine Methode zur Anreicherungskultivierung mit anschliessender Identifizierung mittels H. pylori-spezifischer PCR (Polymerase-Kettenreaktion) beschrieben. Obwohl die Methode zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht ausgereift ist, eroeffnet sie doch vielversprechende Moeglichkeiten, die Bedeutung des Wassers als Uebertragungspfad fuer H. pylori zu bewerten. So fanden sich Hinweise auf kultivierbare H. pylori-Bakterien in einer oertlichen Grundwasserprobe.

The labile concentration of Cu was obtained by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry with a double acidification method (DAM-DPASV). Changes in water alkalinity and chloride concentrations did not affect the labile concentration of Cu, but increases of alkalinity and concentrations of chloride reduced the toxicity on Q67. In the presence of EDTA and FA, both labile concentration of Cu and toxicity were reduced. By excluding Cu-carbonate complexes and Cu-chloride from labile concentration, a bioavailable concentration of Cu (or [Cu*]) was obtained and used to predict the acute toxicity of Cu on Q67. For natural waters, the labile concentration of Cu was measured by DAM-DPASV and [Cu*] was calculated by a MINTEQ A2 software based on composition of waters. This procedure was tested for Guanting Reservoir waters by spiking different concentration Cu. The results showed that [Cu*] was a good indicator for Cu toxicity and could be used in field conditions.

The objective of our study was to examine uptake and metabolism of the model retinoid, all-trans retinoic acid (all-trans RA), by three native North American anurans, Rana sylvatica, R. pipiens, and R. clamitans. Limb-bud stage tadpoles (stages 26-28) were exposed to all-trans RA concentrations of 0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, and 1250 ng/ml for 24 h. Water and tissue samples, collected at 0, 4, 12, and 24 h, were analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) to characterize aqueous exposure and all-trans RA uptake and metabolism. All-trans RA degraded rapidly in exposure water (i.e., with organisms), with over 70% of the parent compound gone in 4 h and none detected by 24 h. Consistent with this result, tadpoles from the three species showed the greatest accumulation of all-trans RA at 4 h followed by decreasing tissue concentrations at 12 and 24 h. In addition to all-trans RA, several other chromatographic peaks were observed in the tissue extracts indicating metabolism of the retinoid by the tadpoles. Identification of potential metabolites of all-trans RA and endogenous retinoids was conducted by comparing retention times and absorption spectra of available standards (i.e., 4-oxo-all-trans RA, 4-oxo-13- cis RA, 13-cis RA, 9-cis RA, all-trans retinol, all-trans retinal) to those in the tissue extracts. In all three species, all-trans RA was metabolized to 4- oxo-all trans RA and 13-cis RA. The RA isomer, 9-cis RA, was detected in two species, R. sylvatica and R. pipiens. All three species also had measurable levels of vitamin A (all-trans retinol), while the aldehyde form (all-trans retinal) was detected only in R. clamitans. Our results indicate that all-trans RA is rapidly metabolized by these Ranid species to a variety of retinoid derivatives, several of which are known ligands for RA and retinoid receptors, and are capable of activating this signaling transduction pathway.

It has been suggested that the malformations may be the result of xenobiotic disruption of retinoid signaling pathways during embryogenesis and tadpole development. Therefore, a series of experiments were undertaken to examine life-stage specific effects of continuous retinoid exposure on Xenopus laevis. Continuous all-trans retinoic acid (RA) concentrations were delivered using a column saturator and a flow-through diluter system. Stage 8 embryos were exposed to RA concentrations ranging from 0.013 to 2 mu g/l. At the onset of hindlimb bud emergence (NF stage 48), a subset of tadpoles was moved to clean water, and remaining organisms were exposed continuously through metamorphosis. In addition, early limb-bud-stage tadpoles were exposed for 1 week, 2 weeks, or until tail resorption was complete, to eight concentrations of RA in the range of 0.031-3 mu g/l. RA exposure resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in mortality and dysmorphogenesis in embryos at concentrations of 0.24 mu g/l and above. However, this early embryonic exposure did not result in hindlimb abnormalities in surviving tadpoles allowed to mature in clean water. RA did not induce limb malformations in any surviving tadpole exposed during larval stages. We are confident that the concentrations used were high enough, given that the highest concentration used resulted in 100% mortality within 2 weeks of initiating the exposure. This result suggests that other aspects of growth and development, which are not externally obvious, are more sensitive to retinoids than skeletal development. From these experiments and our previous work, we conclude that it is unlikely that retinoid mimics would produce the spectrum of limb malformations which recently have been observed in amphibians collected from the field.

This paper presents the framework developed by that group. Integration provides coherent expressions of assessment results, incorporates the interdependence of humans and the environment, uses sentinel organisms, and improves the efficiency and quality of assessments relative to independent human health and ecological risk assessments. The paper describes how integration can occur within each component of risk assessment, and communicates the benefits of integration at each point. The goal of this effort is to promote the use of this internationally accepted guidance as a basis for harmonization of risk assessment.

An international workshop was convened to consider how ecological and health risk assessments might be integrated, the benefits of and obstacles to integration, and the research and mechanisms needed to facilitate implementation of integrated risk assessment. Using the case studies, workshop participants identified a number of opportunities to integrate the assessment process. Improved assessment quality, efficiency, and predictive capability were considered to be principal benefits of integration. Obstacles to acceptance and implementation of integrated risk assessment included the disciplinary and organizational barriers between ecological and health disciplines. A variety of mechanisms were offered to overcome these obstacles. Research recommendations included harmonization of exposure characterization and surveillance methods and models, development of common risk endpoints across taxa, improved understanding of mechanisms of effect at multiple scales of biological organization, and development of methods to facilitate comparison of risks among endpoints.

The sole relevant source of this stressor is the sun. The Earths stratospheric ozone layer reduces the amount of UVR that reaches the Earths surface. The potential for continued depletion of this ozone layer and environmental changes that increase the penetrance of aquatic habitat, both due to human activities, and the subsequent increase in UVR are global environmental concerns for both humans and ecosystems. An integrated risk assessment provides efficiency in data gathering, analysis and reporting by enabling risk assessors to use the combined knowledge from many disciplines to evaluate overall risk. This report describes the steps and example information that could be used for an integrated risk assessment but is not an actual risk assessment with all its associated calculations and conclusions. It is intended to illustrate the advantages of the integrated risk assessment approach for evaluating adverse effects of a nonchemical stressor.

Although biological monitoring approaches are critical tools for detecting whether effects are occurring, they do not identify the cause of the observed effects. Formal approaches to causal evaluation can provide a mechanism to build on expert knowledge, increasing the likelihood that remedial efforts will achieve the desired environmental improvement. This paper examines how formal approaches to causal investigations minimize common errors. We reviewed common cognitive errors reported in the literature, and compared them with considerations suggested for strength-of-evidence approaches. Many of the causal considerations are directed toward distinguishing spurious correlations from true causal relationships. However, this is only one type of error; others include hypothesis dependence, confirmation bias, hypothesis tenacity and anchoring. We suggest three general principles for minimizing error in site-specific investigations: (1) Conduct the causal evaluation as a fair, transparent comparison among alternatives; (2) Carefully describe and quantify the conjunction of cause and effect; and (3) Consider that conjunction between cause and effect is spurious, or that a real conjunction was masked.

The International Programme on Chemical Safety of the World Health Organization has developed a framework for integrating the assessment of human health and ecological risks. However, other types of integration are needed to support particular environmental decisions. They are integration of exposure and effects, of multiple chemicals and other hazardous agents, of multiple routes of exposure, of multiple endpoints, multiple receptors, multiple spatial and temporal scales, a products life cycle, management alternatives, and socioeconomics with risk assessment. Inclusion of all these factors in an integrated assessment could lead to paralysis by analysis. Therefore, it is important that assessors be cognizant of the decision process and that decision makers and those who will influence the decision (stakeholders) be involved in planning the assessment to ensure that the degree of integration is necessary and sufficient.

To date, a coupled finite element model that accounts for the temperature-dependent electrical conductivity changes has not been developed for ablation type devices. While it is widely acknowledged that accounting for temperature dependent phenomena may affect the outcome of these models, the effect has not been assessed. Methods The results of four finite element models are compared: constant electrical conductivity without tissue perfusion, temperature-dependent conductivity without tissue perfusion, constant electrical conductivity with tissue perfusion, and temperature-dependent conductivity with tissue perfusion. Results The data demonstrate that significant errors are generated when constant electrical conductivity is assumed in coupled electrical-heat transfer problems that operate at high temperatures. These errors appear to be closely related to the temperature at which the ablation device operates and not to the amount of power applied by the device or the state of tissue perfusion. Conclusion Accounting for temperature-dependent phenomena may be critically important in the safe operation of radiofrequency ablation device that operate near 100 degree C.

AN - 19425198; 5603888 AB - Dual isotope evaluations of NO sub(3) super(-) in groundwater adjacent to ditches within constructed riparian wetlands across the Kankakee watershed may assist the determination of denitrification efficiency. Groundwater sampling indicates that NO sub(3) super(-)-N exceeded 10 mg L super(-1) in constructed riparian wetlands but not in native wetlands within the riparian zones of the Kankakee basin. An apparent local empirical threshold for nitrification occurs in groundwater near ditches with less then 1:11 depth to width dimensions within similar hydrogeology. The super(15)N and super(18)O composition of groundwater nitrate varies widely in these constructed riparian wetlands. Groundwater nitrate associated with broader ditches (e.g. 1:35) most closely matches the denitrification isotope signature of native riparian wetlands in the basin. The geometry of various cut and fill landforms may need evaluation in engineering designs for constructed riparian wetlands to ensure the establishment of local natural groundwater flow conditions for efficient nitrate attenuation.

The purpose of this work was to systematically evaluate the impact of various physicochemical factors such as gas fraction (GF), surfactant concentration, pore structure and nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) types on NAPL removal during SF flooding. The TCE displacement by SF was dependent on the gas fraction of SF. Low GFs (50% and 66%) were more efficient for TCE removal and sweep efficiencies than a high GF (85%). An increase in TCE removal was observed with increasing surfactant concentration at a fixed GF. TCE removal by SF flooding appeared to be dependent more to the value of Capillary number rather than to the concentration of surfactant solution. The effect of the pore heterogeneity was evaluated by employing two different types of micromodels. The Capillary number is an important parameter in the determination of sweep efficiency or gas saturation of SF in a nonhomogeneous porous medium. However, the TCE removal from a nonhomogeneous porous medium may not be associated with sweep efficiency. The initial configuration of residual TCE blobs in a non-homogeneous porous medium would also be influential in displacing TCE. Sweep efficiencies and pressure responses of two NAPL systems (TCE and dodecane) were monitored to evaluate foam stability when the foam contacts the NAPLs. Stable foam contacting with TCE is implied, while it appears that dodecane cause the SF to collapse. All results indicate that the Capillary number (a ratio of viscous forces to capillary forces) is the most important parameter for TCE removal by SF flooding. Micromodel visualizations of water, surfactant and SF floods were showed and also discussed.

However, changes in putative internal defense activities have been associated with contaminant accumulation in both experimental and long-term field exposures. In an effort to elucidate these relationships, 40 oysters were collected from Bayou Chico (BC) and East Bay (EB) in Pensacola Bay, FL, two estuaries known to differ in the type and magnitude of chemical contaminants present. Oyster tissue concentrations of metals, tri- and dibutyltin (TBT, DBT), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured in individual oysters, as were hemocyte counts (HCs), hemocyte bacterial killing indices (KI), serum lysozyme (LYS) and serum protein (PRO) levels. Average HC, KI, LYS and PRO were significantly higher in BC oysters, which also had significantly higher tissue concentrations of total trace metals, butyltins (BTs), PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, and Mn, Cu, Zn and Sn. EB oysters had low organic contaminant levels and no detectable BTs, but significantly higher concentrations of Al, Cr, Fe, Ag, Cd, and Hg. Simple correlation analysis between specific defense measurements and specific chemical analytes showed specific positive relationships that corroborated previous findings in other FL estuaries. Canonical correlation analysis was used to examine relationships between defense measurements and tissue metals using linearly combined sets of variables. Results were also consistent with previous findings--the highest possible canonical correlation was positive: r=0.864, P<0.0019 among canonical variables composed of HC, KI and LYS for defense, and Fe, Cu, Ag, Cd, Sb, Sn, Ni, Pb and Hg for metals.

Researchers have hypothesized that methoprene use in US may be a contributing factor to the recent increase in malformed amphibians. However, little is known concerning the developmental toxicity of methoprene and its degradation products in amphibians. In these studies, the aqueous stability and developmental toxicity of methoprene and several degradation products (methoprene acid, methoprene epoxide, 7-methoxycitronellal, and 7-methoxycitronellic acid) were examined. Xenopus laevis embryos (stage 8) were exposed to the test chemicals for 96 h. Assays were conducted under static renewal (24 h) conditions and chemical concentrations in water were measured at the beginning and end of the renewal periods. Methoprene exposure did not result in developmental toxicity at concentrations up to 2 mg/l, which is slightly higher than its water solubility. Methoprene acid, a relatively minor degradation product, produced developmental toxicity when concentrations exceeded 1.25 mg/l. Methoprene epoxide and 7-methoxycitronellal caused developmental toxicity at concentrations of 2.5 mg/l and higher. 7-Methoxycitronellic acid was not developmentally toxic at a test concentration as high as 30 mg/l. The five test chemicals had differential stability in aqueous solution that was in some instances affected by the presence of test organisms. These data indicate that methoprene and its degradation products are not potent development toxicants in X. laevis. This, in combination with the fact that field applications of sustained-release formulations of methoprene result in methoprene concentrations that do not typically exceed 0.01 mg/l, suggests that concerns for methoprene-mediated developmental toxicity to amphibians may be unwarranted.

Hatchery oysters were deployed at two contaminated sites and one reference site near Pensacola, Florida, during spring and summer in 1998. Putative defense measurements, notably hemocyte count and bactericidal activity, were significantly elevated after 12-week deployment during summer at the most contaminated site. This site exhibited a dramatic increase in chemical concentrations in oyster tissue relative to both the initial concentrations in hatchery oysters and to oysters deployed at the reference site. Hemocyte activity was not stimulated after 16-week deployment of hatchery oysters in spring, despite similar increases in tissue chemical concentrations, so defense activation by short-term exposure may covary with other unmeasured environmental or physiological parameters. Using the converse approach, Pensacola Bay oysters were collected from two contaminated sites and deployed at the reference site for 16 weeks during spring. Results from this converse deployment were ambiguous; serum lysozyme concentrations were reduced for oysters transplanted from both sites, but hemocyte activities were not significantly changed. The principal outcome from this study was the demonstration of enhanced defense activities for oysters upon short-term summer deployment at a contaminated site.

Two experimental sets of rainbow trout microsomes were tested; one representing in vivo or surgical tricaine exposures and the other representing in vitro tissue/organ collection tricaine exposures. Microsomal incubations were performed on these two experimental groups with phenol as substrate to assess the effects of tricaine on Phase I (ring-hydroxylation) and II (glucuronidation) liver biotransformation by monitoring production of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CAT), and phenylglucuronide (PG). The use of a 2-h 100 mg/l exposure of tricaine for surgical anesthesia with or without 24-h recovery did not significantly (P ~,0.05) affect rates of phenol (Phase I and II) biotransformation rates; nor, did the 5-min 300 mg/l tricaine exposure for isolated organ/tissue collection significantly (P ~,0.05) affect phenol (Phase I and II) biotransformation rates. There were also no significant statistical differences (P ~,0.05) in P450 protein levels, or 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity in these microsomal assays between any of the tricaine treated rainbow trout and controls.

Minirhizotron images were collected twice per week from mature Pseudotsuga menziesii and Tilia cordata trees and analyzed to estimate fine root production and mortality. These data were used to create data sets reflecting sample frequencies of 1, 2, 4 or 8 wk. When the sampling interval is long, fine roots can appear and disappear between samplings, leading to underestimates of production and mortality. For example, with an 8-wk sample frequency, 24 and 35% of the fine root production in P. menziesii and T. cordata, respectively, is not measured. Fine root mortality displays the same sensitivity to sample frequency. Our experimental observations supported the previously published simulation analysis, which provides an estimate of the proportion of fine roots missed at different sample frequencies and is a tool that can be used to select a sample frequency to balance production and mortality accuracy with sampling and analytical effort.

Timed- pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were treated by oral gavage with 25 mg/kg/d PFOS/K super(+) on four consecutive days (gestation days (GD) 2-5, 6-9, 10-13, 14- 17, or 17-20) or with 0, 25, or 50 mg/kg/d PFOS/K super(+) on GD 19-20. Controls received vehicle (10 ml/kg 0.5% Tween-20) on these days. Maternal weight gain was reduced in treated animals during dosing, as were food and water consumption. Following a 4-day treatment, litter size at birth was unaffected while pup weight was similarly reduced in the three earliest PFOS groups. All PFOS groups experienced decreases in survival while controls remained near 100%. Neonatal survival decreased in groups dosed later during gestation, approaching 100% with dosing on GD 17-20. Most deaths occurred before postnatal day (PND) 4, with the majority in the first 24 hours. Maternal serum PFOS levels on GD 21 were higher in groups exhibiting higher mortality. Following a 2-day treatment, PFOS groups experienced significant pup mortality by PND 1. Neonatal mortality continued through PND 5, when survival was 98, 66, and 3% for the 0, 25, and 50 mg/kg groups, respectively. Pup weight was reduced in treated groups with surviving litters. Gross dissection and histological examination of lungs revealed differences in maturation between control and treated animals on PND 0. We conclude that exposure to PFOS late in gestation is sufficient to induce 100% pup mortality and that inhibition of lung maturation may be involved.

The present experiments explore the relationship(s) between exposure concentration (C) and time (t) to investigate procedures for assessing the risks of short-term solvent exposures. The first hypothesis tested was that the product of C x t would produce a constant health effect (Haber's rule). The second hypothesis tested was that exposure conditions produce effects in proportion to the tissue concentrations created. Awake, adult, male Long-Evans (LE) rats were exposed to trichloroethylene (TCE) vapor in a head-only exposure chamber while pattern onset/offset visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were recorded. Exposure conditions were designed to provide C x t products of 0 ppm/h (0 ppm for 4 h) or 4000 ppm/h created through four exposure scenarios: 1000 ppm for 4 h; 2000 ppm for 2 h; 3000 ppm for 1.3 h; or 4000 ppm for 1h (n = 9-10/concentration). The amplitude of the VEP frequency double component (F2) was decreased significantly by exposure; this decrease was related to C but not to t or to the C x t product, indicating that Haber's rule did not hold. The mean amplitude ( plus or minus SEM in mu V) of the F2 component in the control and treatment groups measured 4.4 plus or minus 0.5 (0 ppm/4 h), 3.1 plus or minus 0.5 (1000 ppm/4 h), 3.1 plus or minus 0.4 (2000 ppm/2 h), 2.3 plus or minus 0.3 (3000 ppm/1.3 h), and 1.9 plus or minus 0.4 (4000 ppm/1 h). A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was used to estimate the concentrations of TCE in the brain achieved during each exposure condition. The F2 amplitude of the VEP decreased monotonically as a function of the estimated peak brain concentration but was not related to the area under the curve (AUC) of the brain TCE concentration. In comparison to estimates from the PBPK model, extrapolations based on Haber's rule yielded approximately a 6-fold error in estimated exposure duration when extrapolating across only a 4-fold change in exposure concentration. These results indicate that the use of a linear form of Haber's rule will not predict accurately the risks of acute exposure to TCE, nor will an estimate of AUC of brain TCE. However, an estimate of the brain TCE concentration at the time of VEP testing predicted the effects of TCE across exposure concentrations and durations.

ATR and its biotransformation by-products are present in soil and groundwater. Since current maximum contaminant levels are set only for ATR, it is important to determine whether these by-products can also alter pubertal development and possibly pose a cumulative exposure hazard. We evaluated the effects of two ATR by-products, diamino-s-chlorotriazine (DACT) and hydroxyatrazine (OH-ATR), and a structurally similar chlorotriazine, propazine (PRO), on female pubertal development. Rats were gavaged from postnatal days (PNDs) 22 through PND 41 with DACT (16.7, 33.8, 67.5, 135 mg/kg), OH-ATR (22.8, 45.7, 91.5, 183 mg/kg), or PRO (13, 26.7, 53, 106.7, 213 mg/kg). The dose range for each chemical was selected as the molar equivalent of ATR (12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/kg). The females were monitored daily for vaginal opening (VO) and killed on PND 41. DACT, a by-product of ATR that occurs in the environment and is also the primary chlorinated metabolite of ATR in animal tissue, delayed VO by 3.2, 4.8, and 7.6 days compared to the controls (33.1 plus or minus 0.4 (SE) days of age) following exposure to 33.8, 67.5, and 135 mg/kg, respectively. The no effect level (NOEL) for DACT (16.7 mg/kg) was identical to the equimolar NOEL for ATR (25 mg/kg). Although the body weight (BW) on PND 41 was reduced by the high dose of DACT (8.4% reduction), this reduction did not exceed the criteria for selecting the maximum tolerated dose (e.g., a dose that causes >10% decrease in BW at necropsy). None of the lower doses of DACT caused a significant difference in BW gain. Additionally, 33.8, 67.5, and 135 mg/kg of DACT significantly increased the BW on the day of VO. PRO (107 or 213 mg/kg) delayed VO by 4 days but did not alter the BW on PND 41. While no significant delays in pubertal development were observed in two separate dose-response studies with doses ranging up to 183 mg/kg (OH-ATR), a minor but statistically significant delay in the onset of puberty in a pilot study using OH-ATR raises the possibility that an effect might occur following exposure to higher doses. However, it is clear from these data that OH-ATR has a much lower potency when compared with equimolar doses of DACT and PRO. Together, these data demonstrate that PRO and DACT can delay the onset of puberty in the female rat at doses equimolar to ATR and provide the scientific basis for the use of additivity in the upcoming risk assessments.

The role of solar radiation in the transformation of DOM into inorganic and bioavailable forms was investigated in a humic boreal Lake Valkea-Kotinen. The concentrations of nitrate+nitrite, inorganic phosphorus and inorganic carbon increased, but those of ammonium decreased in < 0.2- mu m filtered hypolimnetic water during 1-day exposures to solar radiation. In epilimnetic water, solar radiation increased the concentration of ammonium at a rate equivalent to the rate of atmospheric deposition of inorganic nitrogen. When indigenous bacteria of Lake Valkea-Kotinen were inoculated into sunlight-exposed waters, bacteria achieved higher biovolume and productivity and incorporated carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus at greater rates than those grown in non-exposed waters. Bacteria mineralized dissolved organic carbon 92-375% more in exposed than in non-exposed waters. Thus, in addition to direct photochemical mineralization, solar radiation increased metabolic mineralization of organic carbon by bacteria. Solar radiation decreased the activity of phosphomonoesterase during exposures down to <1% of the initial values. However, after 4-d bioassay the activity of phosphomonoestrase in the exposed waters exceeded that in the non-exposed water.

Since the initial reporting of the idea, little work has been undertaken to apply the proposed concept to potential ecosystem engineers in the marine environment. Biological and ecological data for the burrowing ghost shrimp Callianassa filholi (Decapoda: Thalassinidea) allowed for a formal assessment of this species as an ecosystem engineer, in direct accordance with published criteria. Despite a low population density and the short durability of its burrow structures, Callianassa filholi affected a number of resource flows by its large lifetime per capita activity. Ecosystem effects were evident in significant changes in macrofauna community composition over small spatial and temporal scales. Seasonal variation in the effects of ghost shrimp activity were associated with changes in seagrass (Zostera novazelandica) biomass, which revealed the probability of interactions between antagonistic ecosystem engineers. The formal assessment of Callianassa filholi provides the opportunity to aid discussion pertaining to the development of the ecosystem engineering concept.

Sixty nonindigenous species were found out of the 533 taxa enumerated (11%). Patterns of invasion across the communities were evaluated using a suite of invasion metrics based on the abundance or species richness of nonindigenous species. Patterns of invasion along the estuarine gradient varied with the invasion metric used, and the ecological interpretation of the metrics is discussed. Overall, the estuarine transition community located in the estuarine turbidity maximum zone (mean 5 practical salinity unit (psu)), main estuarine community (mean 16 psu), and marine muddy community (mean 28 psu) were more invaded than two fresh-brackish communities (mean < 1 psu) and a marine sandy community (mean 27 psu). Nonindigenous species were numerically dominant over much of the Estuary, making up more than 90% of the individuals in two communities. The percentage of the total species composed of nonindigenous species increased at smaller spatial scales: 11% at the estuary (gamma) scale, 21% at the community (alpha) scale, and 42% at the grab (point) scale. Wider spatial distributions of nonindigenous species and a relatively greater percentage of rare native species may have resulted in this pattern. Because of this scale dependency, comparisons among sites need to be made at the same spatial scale. Native species were positively correlated with nonindigenous species in several of the communities, presumably due to similar responses to small-scale differences in habitat quality. The rate of invasion into the soft-bottom communities of the San Francisco Estuary appears to have increased over the last one to two decades and many of the new introductions have become numerically dominant.

Our three-year, multi-disciplinary study assessed the relative importance of natural and anthropogenic nutrients on the development of phytoplankton blooms in the waters between Port Stephens and Jervis Bay. The hinterland of this region accommodates 85% of the population of the 6.5 million inhabitants of New South Wales, Australia. Three deepwater outfalls represented the principal, continuous, anthropogenic nutrient source with nitrogen mainly in the bioavailable form of ammonia. Sewage effluent typically remained submerged especially during the spring-summer period when algal blooms occur most frequently. On average, coastal catchments contributed relatively small loads of nutrients except during major flood events because extensive estuaries tend to buffer nutrient fluxes to the ocean. Episodic slope water intrusions were the principal source of nitrogen (nitrate) to coastal waters especially during spring and summer. Phytoplankton blooms appeared to occur in response to slope water intrusions irrespective of proximity to other major nutrient sources. A new understanding of mechanisms of slope water intrusion emerged from model simulations and direct observations. A major upwelling event in January 1998, towards the end of the 1997/98 El Nino period, demonstrated the importance of large scale slope water intrusions on the development of algal blooms. Although natural upwelling/uplifting was found to be the principal driver for major algal blooms, it is possible that more subtle impacts of anthropogenic nutrients may be masked by `natural' variability including that due to the El Nino Southern Oscillation.

They have been estimated most often for watersheds ranging in size from 10 super(2) to 10 super(4) hectares, and have been recommended as measurements to inform management decisions. At this scale, watersheds are often nested upstream and downstream components of larger drainage basins, suggesting nutrient export coefficients will change from one subwatershed to the next. Nutrient export can be modeled as risk where lack of monitoring data prevents empirical estimation. We modeled N and P export risk for subwatersheds of larger drainage basins, and examined spatial changes in risk from upstream to downstream watersheds. Spatial (sub-watershed) changes in N and P risk were a function of in-stream decay, subwatershed land-cover composition, and subwatershed streamlength. Risk tended to increase in a downstream direction under low rates of in-stream decay, whereas high rates of in-stream decay often reduced risk to zero (0) toward downstream subwatersheds. On average, increases in the modeled rate of in-stream decay reduced risk by 0.44 for N and 0.39 for P. Interactions between in-stream decay, land-cover composition and streamlength produced dramatic changes in risk across subwatersheds in some cases. Comparison of the null cases of no in-stream decay and homogeneously forested subwatersheds with extant conditions indicated that complete forest cover produced greater reductions in nutrient export risk than a high in-stream decay rate, especially for P. High rates of in-stream decay and complete forest cover produced approximately equivalent reductions in N export risk for downstream subwatersheds.

II: Postnatal Evaluation AN - 18819686; 5713344 AB - The postnatal effects of in utero exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS, C sub(8)F sub(17)SO sub(3) super(-)) were evaluated in the rat and mouse. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were given 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 mg/kg PFOS daily by gavage from gestation day (GD) 2 to GD 21; pregnant CD-1 mice were treated with 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/kg PFOS from GD 1 to GD 18. Controls received 0.5% Tween-20 vehicle (1 ml/kg for rats and 10 ml/kg for mice). At parturition, newborns were observed for clinical signs and survival. All animals were born alive and initially appeared to be active. In the highest dosage groups (10 mg/kg for rat and 20 mg/kg for mouse), the neonates became pale, inactive, and moribund within 30-60 min, and all died soon afterward. In the 5 mg/kg (rat) and 15 mg/kg (mouse) dosage groups, the neonates also became moribund but survived for a longer period of time (8-12 h). Over 95% of these animals died within 24 h. Approximately 50% of offspring died at 3 mg/kg for rat and 10 mg/kg for mouse. Cross-fostering the PFOS-exposed rat neonates (5 mg/kg) to control nursing dams failed to improve survival. Serum concentrations of PFOS in newborn rats mirrored the maternal administered dosage and were similar to those in the maternal circulation at GD 21; PFOS levels in the surviving neonates declined in the ensuing days. Small but significant and persistent growth lags were detected in surviving rat and mouse pups exposed to PFOS prenatally, and slight delays in eye opening were noted. Significant increases in liver weight were observed in the PFOS-exposed mouse pups. Serum thyroxine levels were suppressed in the PFOS- treated rat pups, although triiodothyronine and thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH] levels were not altered. Choline acetyltransferase activity (an enzyme that is sensitive to thyroid status) in the prefrontal cortex of rat pups exposed to PFOS prenatally was slightly reduced, but activity in the hippocampus was not affected. Development of learning, determined by T-maze delayed alternation in weanling rats, was not affected by PFOS exposure. These results indicate that in utero exposure to PFOS severely compromised postnatal survival of neonatal rats and mice, and caused delays in growth and development that were accompanied by hypothyroxinemia in the surviving rat pups.

Questions have been raised as to whether this skin residue can contribute to the toxicity of a pesticide by continued post-wash absorption. In a set of 19 pesticides tested in the rat to determine the fate of this skin residue, absorption from the washed skin continued in 15 at all doses tested, continued in 2 pesticides at only some of the doses tested and did not continue in 2 volatile pesticides. However, only nine pesticides showed an increase in systemic concentration following absorption from the washed skin, which can be considered indicative of potential increased toxicity. The time of occurrence and magnitude of the increase varied with chemical and dose, being a combination of rate and magnitude of absorption and rate and magnitude of excretion of the absorbed chemical. Similar patterns of continued absorption of skin residue may be expected to occur in humans. Published in 2003 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A toxicity identification and evaluation (TIE) was performed using three species: a mysid shrimp, Americamysis bahia; inland silverside Menidia beryllina; and an amphipod, Ampelisca abdita. Initial tests indicated that only the shrimp was sensitive to the unknown toxicant. The first phase of the TIE indicated that the toxicity to the shrimp could be eliminated by either the addition of EDTA or manipulation of the cation exchange column. Elevated concentrations of Cd were detected by inductively coupled plasma analysis, and metal toxicity was confirmed when the cation exchange column treatment successfully isolated the toxic metal. Analysis of affected fish tissue indicated Cd levels ranging from less than 0.3 ng/g in the muscle to 200 mu g/g in the liver. This study demonstrates a unique application of TIE methods to diagnose toxicity problems in aquaria and other aquaculture situations.

The etiology of these defects involves hyperproliferation of epithelial cells of the secondary palatal shelf and ureter, respectively. These effects correlate with altered expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and transforming growth factor- alpha (TGF- alpha ). In this study, the developmental toxicity of TCDD was examined in EGF, TGF- alpha , and double EGF + TGF- alpha knockout (-/-) and wild type (WT) mice. The influence of background genetics in responsiveness to TCDD was examined using liver 7- ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity. Animals were dosed by gavage with 0, 0.2, 1, 5, 24, 50, 100, or 150 mu g TCDD/kg (5 ml/kg) body weight on gestation day 12. The mixed genetic background of WT, EGF (-/-), and EGF + TGF- alpha (- /-) made these mice less responsive to TCDD relative to C57BL/6J and TGF- alpha (-/-), which have a C57BL background. These results show that EGF and TGF- alpha are not required for response to TCDD; however, the specific ligand available to bind EGFR affects the responsiveness to TCDD. EGF (-/-) mice are less responsive for CP, but more sensitive to HN. TGF- alpha (-/-) mice were similar to WT in sensitivity for induction of CP and HN. The responses of EGF + TGF- alpha (-/-) mice were like the WT except at higher doses where sensitivity to CP increased, suggesting that the responses may be mediated by alternative ligands for EGFR that are not functional equivalents of EGF or TGF- alpha . In conclusion, the EGFR pathway is mechanistically important in responses of the embryo to TCDD. Specific ligands confer sensitivity or resistance that are target tissue-dependent.

Model formulation AN - 18663560; 5571616 AB - A multilayer biochemical dry deposition model has been developed based on the NOAA Multilayer Model (MLM; Meyers et al. [1998]) to study gaseous exchanges between the soil, plants, and the atmosphere. Most of the parameterizations and submodels have been updated or replaced. The numerical integration was improved, and an aerodynamic resistance based on Monin-Obukhov theory was added. An appropriate parameterization for the leaf boundary layer resistance was chosen. A biochemical stomatal resistance model was chosen based on comparisons of four different existing stomatal resistance schemes. It describes photosynthesis and respiration and their coupling with stomatal resistance for sunlit and shaded leaves separately. Various aspects of the photosynthetic process in both C sub(3) and C sub(4) plants are considered in the model. To drive the photosynthesis model, the canopy radiation scheme has been updated. Leaf area index measurements are adjusted to account for stem area index. A normalized soil water stress factor was applied to potential photosynthesis to account for plant response to both drought and water-logging stresses. A new cuticle resistance model was derived based on membrane passive transport theory and Fick's first law. It accounts for the effects of diffusivity and solubility of specific gases in the cuticle membrane, as well as the thickness of the cuticle membrane. The model is designed for use in the nationwide dry deposition networks, for example, the Clean Air Status And Trends Network (CASTNet), and mesoscale models, for example, the Community Multiscale Air Quality model (CMAQ) and even the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF).

Two hydrologically based thresholds of impairment are assessed, one for catchment storage (5-10%) and one for mature forest (60% of catchment in mature forest cover) across two different hydrogeomorphic regions within the Northern Lakes and Forest (NLF) ecoregion: the North Shore (predominantly within the North Shore Highlands Ecological Unit) and the South Shore (predominantly within the Lake Superior Clay Plain Ecological Unit). Water quality samples were collected and analysed during peak snowmelt and baseflow conditions from 24 second-order streams grouped as follows: three in each region x catchment storage x mature forest class. Water quality was affected by a combination of regional influences, catchment storage and mature forest. Regional differences were significant for suspended solids, phosphorus, nitrogen:phosphorus ratios, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and alkalinity. Catchment storage was significantly correlated with dissolved silica during the early to mid-growing season, and with DOC, specific conductance and alkalinity during all seasons. Total nitrogen and dissolved nitrogen were consistently less in low mature forest than in high mature forest catchments. Catchment storage interacted with the influence of mature forest for only two metrics: colour and the soluble inorganic nitrogen:phosphorus ratio. Significant interaction terms (region by mature forest or region by storage) suggest differences in regional sensitivity for conductance, alkalinity, total organic carbon, and colour, as well as possible shifts in thresholds of impact across region or mature forest class. Use of the NLF Ecoregion alone as a basis for setting regional water quality criteria would lead to the misinterpretation of reference condition and assessment of condition. There were pronounced differences in background water quality between the North and South Shore streams, particularly for parameters related to differences in soil parent material and glacial history. A stratified random sampling design for baseflow and snowmelt stream water quality based on both hydrogeomorphic region and catchment attributes improves assessments of both reference condition and differences in regional sensitivity JF - Freshwater biology AU - Detenbeck, N E AU - Elonen, C M AU - Taylor, D L AU - Anderson, LE AU - Jicha, T M AU - Batterman, S L AD - US Environmental Protection Agency, Mid-Continent Ecology Division, 6201 Congdon Blvd., Duluth, MN 55804 USA, detenbeck.naomi@epa.gov Y1 - 2003 PY - 2003 DA - 2003 SP - 912 EP - 927 VL - 48 IS - 5 SN - 0046-5070, 0046-5070 KW - ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution & Environmental Quality KW - Catchment area KW - Geomorphology KW - Silica KW - Melt water KW - North America, Superior L.

Significant inverse relationships of tall S. alterniflora with species richness and with the extent and density of S. patens and short S. alterniflora were observed. Extent and density of S. patens and extent of short S. alterniflora were positively and significantly related with plant species richness. Marsh elevation and area did not significantly correlate with plant structure. Flood tide height significantly and inversely correlated with S. patens, but did not significantly relate to S. alterniflora or plant species richness. Marsh width significantly and positively correlated with plant species richness and S. patens and inversely correlated with tall S. alterniflora. Significant inverse relationships were observed for N-load, % residential development, and slope with S. patens, short S. alterniflora, and species richness, and significant positive relationships with tall S. alterniflora. The marsh slope and width were significantly correlated with N- load and residential development that made it difficult to determine to what extent anthropogenic stressors were contributing to the variation in the plant structure among the marshes. At five marshes with similar slopes, there were significant inverse relationships of N-load with S. patens (density and extent) and a positive relationship with tall S. alterniflora (extent). Although there were no significant relationships of slope with the plant metrics among the five sites, other physical factors, such as the flood tide height and marsh width, significantly correlated with the extent and density of Spartina species. Significant relationships of N-load with plant structure (albeit confounded by the effect of the physical characteristics) support the hypothesis of competitive displacement of dominant marsh plants under elevated nitrogen. It is likely that the varying plant structure in New England marshes is a response to a combination of natural factors and multiple anthropogenic stressors (e.g., eutrophication and sea level rise).

We report microtia in CD-1 mice after gestational exposure to ethane dimethanesulfonate (EDS), an alkylating agent and adult rat Leydig cell toxicant. Time-pregnant CD-1 mice were administered 0, 80, or 160 mg EDS/kg on gestation days (GD) 11-17, or 0 or 160 mg EDS/kg on GD 11-13, GD 13-15 or GD 15-17. Pinnae were measured on postnatal days (PND) 4, 8, 18, and 28; and were observed for detachment from birth through PND 8. Branchial-arch derived skeletal structures and histology of the pinna was examined on PND 4 and 24. Brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) tests were carried out at approximately PND 160 to determine possible effects on hearing. All offspring of EDS-treated dams exhibited bilateral, dose-related decreases in pinna size. Gestational exposure during GD 11-13 produced smaller ears than during GD 13-15 or 15-17, but not as small as the GD 11-17 regimen. Ossification of other pharyngeal arch derivatives was delayed whereas histology was unremarkable. BAER analysis showed a decrease in the proportion of adult offspring producing a quantifiable response to varied auditory stimuli among EDS-treated litters. Gestational exposure to EDS affects pinna development in the mouse, with a broad period of sensitivity during the second half of gestation. Microtia induced by EDS may be associated with hearing deficits, suggesting functional importance of pinna size or additional effects of EDS on ear development not detected by morphological examination.

Handsorting and formalin extraction were used semi-annually from fall 1994 to fall 1997 to measure populations in plots with and without added earthworms under chisel till in a corn-soybean rotation (CT) and a ridge-till system in a corn-soybean-wheat rotation (RT) in Ohio, USA. Earthworm communities were altered by adding similar to 76 Lumbricus terrestris (L.) m super(-2) each spring and fall into plots with no, or very few of these anecic earthworms. Increases in L. terrestris were small ( similar to 7 m super(-2)) compared to the number added and their establishment was at the expense of the epigeic earthworm L. rubellus (Hoff.), which declined four and two-fold in CT and RT, respectively. Populations of the endogeic earthworm Octolasion tytaeum (Sav.) were unaffected by the addition of L. terrestris. Sampling 5 years after the additions indicated that L. terrestris persisted only in the RT plots. The decline in L. rubellus populations in plots with added anecic worms was no longer evident. We understand that the increased number and amounts of residues and the minimal level of disturbance found in RT probably increased the extent and quality of earthworm habitat over CT plots, which had fewer crops, less cover, and periodic disturbance. Apparently, population dynamics and competitive relationships among different earthworm functional groups were regulated by agroecosystem type, and their correspondent disturbance regimes and resource distributions.

AN - 1777158105; 13772290 AB - A network of five water quality monitoring stations has been established in Long Island Sound, measuring temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen since 1999. The stations are located in areas of extreme water quality degradation (western Long Island Sound) as well as in pristine areas (eastern Long Island Sound). The data from these stations are collected every 15 minutes and posted to the project web site in real time as provisional data. After subsequent quality assurance procedures, the data are archived to the project File Transfer Protocol (FSP) site for downloading by the user community. The network of stations is in part supported logistically by a number of partners, including state and local agencies, schools, and non-governmental organizations. Data from the monitoring programs of some of these partners are also published to the project website providing a more comprehensive and complete picture of the status of the Sound than can be provided independently. This repository of information is used by marine educators, resource managers, scientists, and the general public, each with a different end purpose. We use the data from two of the stations to show that these high frequency time series measurements can be used to complement and enhance other monitoring programs within the Sound, documenting in greater detail the occurrence and duration of hypoxic events.

Airborne hyperspectral imagery and field spectrometer measurements were obtained in October of 2000. A spectral library database containing selected ground-based and airborne sensor spectra was developed for use in image processing. The spectral library is used to automate the processing of hyperspectral imagery for potential real-time material identification and mapping. Field based spectra were compared to the airborne imagery using the database to identify and map two species of SAV (Myriophyllum spicatum and Vallisneria americana). Overall accuracy of the vegetation maps derived from hyperspectral imagery was determined by comparison to a product that combined aerial photography and field based sampling at the end of the SAV growing season. The algorithms and databases developed in this study will be useful with the current and forthcoming space-based hyperspectral remote sensing systems.

In this study the role of the hydroxyl radical in CDOM photodegradation was explored as well as the contribution of photo-Fenton chemistry to [rad]OH formation. Photochemically produced [rad]OH was observed under aerobic and dioxygen-depleted conditions in highly colored, acidic natural water samples obtained from a freshwater reach of the Satilla River, a river in the southeastern United States. Net aerobic [rad]OH formation along with the production of hydrogen peroxide and Fe(II) provided evidence of photo-Fenton produced [rad]OH. A reduction in [rad]OH production in the presence of iron chelators further suggests the importance of iron and the photo-Fenton reaction in this water. Apparent quantum yield values for the photochemical production of [rad]OH were determined from 300-320 nm. In addition, the relationship between [rad]OH photoproduction and effects of irradiation on the optical properties of CDOM was examined. Changes in the light absorption and fluorescence properties of water samples from the Satilla River and other natural waters were compared to [rad]OH production rates. The ability of constituents of Satilla River water, principally the dissolved organic matter, to scavenge [rad]OH was also considered. Results indicate that the photo-Fenton reaction accounts for more than 70% of total photochemical [rad] OH production in Satilla River water. Given the significant levels of [rad]OH produced in this water, it is possible that [rad]OH influences CDOM photobleaching.

TT - Balances de hojarasca en dos arroyos forestados: impacto de las plantaciones de eucalipto en el funcionamiento ecologico de un sistema lotico AN - 17466470; 6652934 AB - Leaf litter is the main energy source in small streams that drain forested watersheds. In this work, the impact of the eucalyptus plantation on the leaf litter budget in a headwater stream was studied. Two sampling sites were selected: site C, located in Salderrey Stream which flows through deciduous forest, and site E, located in Jergueron Stream, which drains an eucalyptus plantation. Processing rates of the different species were estimated by incubations of leaf litter in 5 mm bags carried out from 1990 to 1996. Litter traps located on the stream banks measured leaf litter inputs from the riparian vegetation. Leaf litter transport was measured with drift nets located in the upper part of the study reaches. Benthic storage of leaf litter was estimated by collecting benthic samples with a Surber net. Leaf litter inputs were lower in the stream that flows through the eucalyptus plantation. Vegetation change also influenced the input way of the organic matter and its composition. Despite a reduction in the leaf litter inputs, more leaves were retained in the benthos at site E. Due to the higher retention in the eucalyptus plantation stream, leaf litter was processed more efficiently at this site. These observations suggest the importance of maintaining the natural riparian vegetation to protect the ecological functioning of small streams that flow through eucalyptus plantations.Original Abstract: La hojarasca es la fuente principal de energia en los arroyos pequenos que drenan cuencas forestales. En este trabajo se estudia el impacto de las plantaciones de eucalipto en el balance de hojarasca de un arroyo de cabecera. Se han seleccionado dos estaciones de muestreo: la estacion C, situada en el arroyo de Salderrey que discurre a traves de un bosque caducifolio, y la estacion E, situada en el arroyo Jergueron que drena una plantation de eucaliptos. Las tasas de procesado de las diferentes especies se estimaron mediante incubaciones de hojarasca en boisas de malla (bags) de 5 mm de poro realizados entre los anos 1990 y 1996. Los aportes de hojarasca desde la vegetacion riparia se han determinado mediante trampas colocadas en las orillas. El transporte de hojarasca se ha determinado mediante trampas de deriva colocadas al inicio, aguas arriba, de cada tramo de estudio. La acumulacion de hojarasca en el bentos se ha estimado mediante la recogida de muestras del lecho con una red Surber. Los aportes de hojas fueron menores en el arroyo que discurre a traves de la plantacion de eucaliptos. El cambio de vegetacion tambien influyo en las vias de entrada de la materia organica y en la composition de los mismos. A pesar de la reduccion en los aportes, se observo una mayor cantidad de hojas retenidas en el bentos de la estacion E. Debido a la mayor retentividad que se observo en el arroyo con eucaliptos, la hojarasca fue procesada de una forma mas eficiente en esta estacion. Estas observaciones sugieren la importancia de mantener la vegetacion riparia natural para proteger el funcionamiento ecologico de los nos pequenos que drenan plantaciones de eucaliptos.

One of the sites was in agricultural land and the other one was in a National Park. Both sites had good water quality and a diverse range of macroinvertebrate habitats. The AUSRIVAS output most commonly used for assessing river condition is the Observed/Expected (O/E50) value. Only relatively common taxa, ie those that have greater than 50% probability of occurrence are included in the calculation of O/E50 values. T-tests used to test differences between the mean O/E50 values for the individual samples showed no significant differences between the two sites. When similar analyses were performed on outputs calculated using rare taxa, significant differences were found between the two sites for the riffle habitat but not for the edge habitat. Including the rare taxa in calculating AUSRIVAS outputs and utilising multiple-year outputs for assessing site condition may allow detection of impacts not detected by examining the commonly used outputs.

Within this vast region of mountains and marshes, forests and farmland, creeks and canyons, a vibrant mining industry emerged more than a century ago. Along with the mining industry came the mining towns - and the mining pollution. Over time, the volume of mining wastes discharged into waters of the Coeur d'Alene Basin reached Brobdingnagian proportions: enough waste to fill a football field with a pile four miles high. The environment of the Coeur d'Alene River Basin has certainly improved over the last few decades, with changes in mining practices and past cleanup efforts by parties including the State of Idaho, the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10. Despite these past efforts, however, the greatest cleanup work for the Coeur d'Alene Basin likely remains ahead. On September 12, 2002, the EPA Regional Administrator signed a Record of Decision (ROD) to address mining contamination in the Basin through remedial actions projected over 30 years. Cleanup for the Coeur d'Alene River Basin, with all its attendant benefits for human health and the environment as well as for the economy, will result directly from Superfund remedial authority. Voluntary actions or disconnected efforts under other statutes could not provide the comprehensive environmental response of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. While Superfund may never be embraced in certain circles or admired for its legislative clarity, the program has adapted through reforms and amendments. Along the way, Superfund has proven its ability to address contaminated areas beyond the oozing landfills. The story of the Coeur d'Alene Basin tells that pollution may be staggering and critics confounding. Yet if myths can be transcended, and adequate funding found, Superfund stands ready to remedy even the nation's mega-sites of landscapes and watercourses.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Wet deposition from clouds and precipitation in three high-elevation regions of the Eastern United States AN - 16151928; 5543586 AB - Three regions are identified in the Eastern United States (US) that contain substantial land area at high elevations: the mid-Appalachian region (MAR), Eastern New York state (ENY), and the New England region (NER). Approximately 75% of the land cover in these areas is forested, with 5.6-29% of the total acreage above 600 m and subject to cloud deposition. Measurements of cloud deposition are scarce. A 6-year data record of measurements at two high- elevation locations is considered, and scaling factors are developed to enable the rough estimation of area-wide cloud deposition at various elevations in each region. Estimates of precipitation and associated ion deposition are made at 12 arc-second resolution for the Eastern US and are used to obtain elevation- resolved precipitation-mediated deposition for the three study regions. At high elevations, clouds account for a substantial proportion of wet deposition (i.e. the sum of that from clouds and precipitation). For the total land area above 600 m, clouds may account for 20-60% of the total wet ion deposition, with the exact proportion depending on both location and ion species. At elevations above 600 m, but below the climatic tree line, the ratio of cloud-to-precipitation- mediated deposition is higher in NER and ENY than in MAR. At the highest elevations of each study region, clouds may account for over 80% of the wet ion deposition. Although the wet deposition of ammonium (NH sub(4)[super]+), sulfate (SO sub(4)[super]2-), nitrate (NO sub(3)[super]-), and hydrogen (H[super]+) ions is enhanced at higher elevations by clouds over precipitation, this enhancement is the largest for ammonium. This study illustrates the major and perhaps dominant role that clouds may play by delivering considerable ion loads to montane ecosystems in selected elevation ranges where these ecosystems may be especially vulnerable.

Its evaporation is undesirable from environmental, health and safety, and economic perspectives. The effect of a proprietary Fluid Impingement Technology super((TM)) (FIT super((TM))) nozzle, developed by Magnum Industries, on styrene emissions was evaluated and compared to other conventional application equipment-- conventional spray guns and flow coaters (operated at both low and high pressure). The FIT super((TM)) nozzle produced less styrene emissions during both gel coating and resin testing, with significant emissions reduction occurring during the application process.

Model evaluation AN - 16147232; 5571615 AB - The multilayer biochemical dry deposition model (MLBC) described in the accompanying paper was tested against half-hourly eddy correlation data from six field sites under a wide range of climate conditions with various plant types. Modeled CO sub(2), O sub(3), SO sub(2), and H sub(2)O (latent heat) fluxes were compared with measurements. Model outputs have good correlations with measurements at all locations. Correlation coefficients between model outputs and measurements at all sites range from 0.72 to 0.96 for CO sub(2) flux, from 0.84 to 0.98 for H sub(2)O flux, from 0.77 to 0.95 for O sub(3) flux, and from 0.36 to 0.86 for SO sub(2) flux. Model sensitivity analyses were conducted to investigate the variation of model outputs due to measurement errors of input variables and to changes of environmental conditions such as changes in weather conditions. The MLBC outputs were also compared with outputs from the Multilayer Model (MLM) model [Meyers et al. 1998] and the Regional Acid Deposition Model (RADM) [Wesely, 1989] at two typical sites. Comparisons show that the MLBC performs better than the other two models. The model is suitable for use in nationwide dry deposition networks, for example, the Clean Air Status And Trends Network (CASTNet). It can be used to assist in describing total pollutant loadings to major ecosystems. With some modifications, the model may also be suitable for inclusion in region (meso-) scale numerical models, for example, the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model.

Cost recovery is generally the primary influence over prices. The privatised public water supply sector dominates water usage. Water abstractions are licensed and allocated mainly on an administrative basis. Charges are levied to recover the water management costs of the licensing authority (the Environment Agency), and are not closely related to the scarcity of water resources, or the environmental impact of abstractions. Public water supplies are subject to price cap regulation. This provides incentives to reduce costs. Public water suppliers are expected to choose an optimal combination of water resource interventions in planning water supplies. The system of regulation has exposed choices. Tariffs for customers reflect company and regulatory concerns to share the burden of cost recovery equitably. Tariff innovation to influence behaviour has been limited by the low extent of metering of household customers. The cost recovery and institutional framework has led to discipline in investment decision-making.

Mean annual standing stock of striped bass and largemouth bass was determined to be 18 and 19 kg/ha, respectively. The striped bass population consumed an average of 48 kg/ha of alewife and 30 kg/ha of gizzard shad annually. Largemouth bass on average ate 9.5 kg/ha of alewife and 17 kg/ha of gizzard shad each year. Conversion efficiency for the largemouth bass population was 21% and 16% for striped bass. Largemouth bass and striped bass populations both realized 35% of their maximum consumptive rate during their growth seasons.

High priority chemicals would be evaluated in the Tier 1 Screening (T1S) battery and chemicals positive in T1S would then be tested (Tier 2). T1S includes in vitro ER and AR receptor binding and/or gene expression, an assessment of steroidogenesis and mammalian (rat) and nonmammalian in vivo assays (Table 1). In vivo, the uterotropic assay detects estrogens and antiestrogens, while steroidogenesis, antithyroid activity, (anti)estrogenicity and HPG function are assessed in a `Pubertal Female Assay'. (Anti-) androgens are detected in the Hershberger Assay (weight of AR-dependent tissues in castrate-immature-male rats). Fish and amphibian assays also are being developed. The fathead minnow assay can identify EDCs displaying several mechanisms of concern, including AR and ER receptor agonists and antagonists and inhibitors of steroid hormone synthesis. An amphibian metamorphosis assay is being developed to detect thyroid-active substances. Several alternative mammalian in vivo assays have been proposed. Of these, a short-term pubertal male rat assay appears most promising. An in utero-lactational screening protocol also is being evaluated. For Tier 2, the numbers of endocrine sensitive endpoints and offspring (F1) examined in multigenerational tests need to be expanded for EDCs. Consideration should be given to tailoring T2, based on the results of T1S. Tier 1 and 2 also should examine relevant mixtures of EDCs. Toxicants that induce malformations in AR-dependent tissues produce cumulative effects even when two chemicals act via different mechanisms of action.

While waterways can be impaired in numerous ways, the protection from pathogenic microbe contamination is most important for waters used for human recreation, drinking water and aquaculture. Typically, monitoring methods used for detecting potential pathogenic microorganisms in environmental waters are based upon cultivation and enumeration of fecal indicator bacteria (i.e. fecal coliforms, E. coli, and fecal enterococci). Currently, there is increasing interest in the potential for molecular fingerprinting methods to be used not only for detection but also for identification of fecal contamination sources. Molecular methods have been applied to study the microbial ecology of environmental systems for years and are now being applied to help improve our waters by identifying problem sources and determining the effect of implemented remedial solutions. Management and remediation of water pollution would be more cost-effective if the correct sources could be identified. This review provides an outline of the main methods that either have been used or have been suggested for use in microbial source tracking and some of the limitations associated with those methods.

The role of resuspension energy and duration on release and subsequent redistribution of sediment bound metals was measured experimentally using a particle entrainment simulator. Two metal-contaminated anoxic sediments with different physical and chemical characteristics were resuspended for 12 h at energies of 2 and 5 dynes cm super(-2). Samples were taken at specified intervals, and the water column pH, Eh and dissolved oxygen levels were monitored continuously. Over time, metal concentrations increased in the particulate (nonfilterable . 1 km) and filterable (< 1 km) phases of the overlying water. In general, metal enrichment followed the Irving-Williams order of complex stability. Overall, the sediment's chemical and physical composition were major factors in determining the amount of metal released, more so than the level of resuspension energy applied. These results provide insight into how physical and chemical processes interact during sediment resuspension to release sediment bound metals and control their phase distribution in the water column.

AN - 72753014; 12472327 AB - Bioterrorist attacks involving letters and mail-handling systems in Washington, DC, resulted in Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spore contamination in the Hart Senate Office Building and other facilities in the US Capitol's vicinity. To provide information about the nature and extent of indoor secondary aerosolization of B anthracis spores. Stationary and personal air samples, surface dust, and swab samples were collected under semiquiescent (minimal activities) and then simulated active office conditions to estimate secondary aerosolization of B anthracis spores. Nominal size characteristics, airborne concentrations, and surface contamination of B anthracis particles (colony-forming units) were evaluated. Viable B anthracis spores reaerosolized under semiquiescent conditions, with a marked increase in reaerosolization during simulated active office conditions. Increases were observed for B anthracis collected on open sheep blood agar plates (P<.001) and personal air monitors (P =.01) during active office conditions. More than 80% of the B anthracis particles collected on stationary monitors were within an alveolar respirable size range of 0.95 to 3.5 micro m. Bacillus anthracis spores used in a recent terrorist incident reaerosolized under common office activities. These findings have important implications for appropriate respiratory protection, remediation, and reoccupancy of contaminated office environments.

AN - 72832813; 12553447 AB - Exocrine pancreatic neoplasms developed in the guppy Poecilia reticulata following exposure to the direct-acting carcinogen methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAM-Ac). Fish 6 to 10 d old were exposed to nominal, non-toxic concentrations of 4 and 10 mg MAM-Ac l(-1) for 2 h and then transferred to carcinogen-free water for grow-out. Whole specimens were sampled monthly up to 9 mo post-exposure to follow the histologic progression of the lesions. No neoplasms occurred in 119 control specimens examined. Pancreatic acinar cell adenomas and carcinomas occurred in 42 of 243 (17%) of the specimens exposed to MAM-Ac. As in earlier studies, specimens exposed to the low MAM-Ac concentration exhibited a higher pancreatic neoplasm incidence (27.8%) than those exposed to the high concentration (7.8%). Acinar cell adenomas accounted for 27 of the 42 neoplasms. Adenomas exhibited a high degree of acinar cell differentiation and some contained foci of atypical acinar cells that were less differentiated and more basophilic than were surrounding adenoma cells. Carcinomas occurred in 15 specimens and exhibited a range of cellular patterns. Although no distant metastases were found, carcinomas tended to invade neighboring tissues and organs. The occurrence of carcinogen-induced pancreatic neoplasms in guppies strengthens the usefulness of small fish species in carcinogen testing and provides an additional model for studying pancreatic neoplasia.

AN - 72137403; 12359347 AB - Bromodichloromethane (BDCM) and bromoform (TBM) have been demonstrated to be colon carcinogens in male and female F344/N rats following administration by corn oil gavage. Our chronic bioassay of BDCM administered in the drinking water failed to demonstrate colon cancer in male F344/N rats. In the present study we addressed the capability of trihalomethanes (THMs) administered in drinking water to induce aberrant crypt foci (ACF), early putative preneoplastic lesions, in the colons of male F344/N rats and B6C3F(1) mice. BDCM was tested in the A/J mouse strain. Rats and B6C3F(1) mice were exposed to isomolar concentrations of the THMs [0.5 g/l chloroform (TCM), 0.7 g/l BDCM, 0.9 g/l dibromochloromethane (DBCM), or 1.1 g/l (TBM)] for 13 weeks. A/J mice were exposed to 0.5 g/l BDCM in the drinking water for 13 and 30 weeks. Deionized water and 0.25% Alkamuls EL-620 were the negative and vehicle controls. ACF incidence (percent) and number (ACF/colon) for the rat were: combined controls, 0; AOM, 100%, 27.17+/-6.28 (P<0.01); TCM, 16.7%, 0.17+/-0.17; BDCM, 83.3%, 1.50+/-0.56 (P<0.01); DBCM, 50%, 1.17+/-0.65 (P<0.01); TBM, 66.7%, 1.17+/-0.40 (P<0.01). THM-induced ACF primarily occurred in the rectal segment of the colon (92%). No ACF were observed in the colons of B6C3F(1) mice following 13 weeks of THM treatment or in the colons of A/J mice following 13 and 30 weeks of BDCM exposure. These studies demonstrate that brominated THMs administered in the drinking water significantly induced preneoplastic ACF in the colon of rats.

AN - 85225773; pmid-12472327 AB - CONTEXT: Bioterrorist attacks involving letters and mail-handling systems in Washington, DC, resulted in Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spore contamination in the Hart Senate Office Building and other facilities in the US Capitol's vicinity. OBJECTIVE: To provide information about the nature and extent of indoor secondary aerosolization of B anthracis spores. DESIGN: Stationary and personal air samples, surface dust, and swab samples were collected under semiquiescent (minimal activities) and then simulated active office conditions to estimate secondary aerosolization of B anthracis spores. Nominal size characteristics, airborne concentrations, and surface contamination of B anthracis particles (colony-forming units) were evaluated. RESULTS: Viable B anthracis spores reaerosolized under semiquiescent conditions, with a marked increase in reaerosolization during simulated active office conditions. Increases were observed for B anthracis collected on open sheep blood agar plates (P<.001) and personal air monitors (P =.01) during active office conditions. More than 80% of the B anthracis particles collected on stationary monitors were within an alveolar respirable size range of 0.95 to 3.5 micro m. CONCLUSIONS: Bacillus anthracis spores used in a recent terrorist incident reaerosolized under common office activities. These findings have important implications for appropriate respiratory protection, remediation, and reoccupancy of contaminated office environments.

These approaches are problematic because they tend to rely on technical fixes, a single-discipline focus, and optimality. When such traditional approaches are applied, complex environmental problems are simplified beyond recognition, and the solution produced no longer matches the original problem. An alternative approach has been developed at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that is designed to improve the utilization of scientific research results and data (social, physical, and biological) through a more inclusive problem-solving process aimed particularly at difficult and complex environmental issues. Using a policy application pertaining to the EPA's 1995 decision to approve a fuel additive, the authors illustrate how integrated environmental policy decision analysis can be made operational using this new approach.

AN - 72900985; 12793756 AB - During interplanetary flights the nuclei of all of a crew member's cells could be traversed by at least one high-LET (Linear Energy Transfer) cosmic-ray particle. In mammalian cells irradiated in vitro about 1 in 10,000 of the surviving cells traversed by heavy particles is transformed to malignancy or mutated. What, if anything, happens to the remaining >99% of surviving cells? A retrospective analysis of archived data and samples from heavy-ion irradiation experiments with cultured human cells in vitro indicated that heavy ions caused a dose- and LET-dependent reduction in growth rates of progeny of irradiated cells, based on colony-size distributions. The maximum action cross section for this effect is between 100 and 300 microm2, at least as large as the cell nuclear area and up to 3 times the cross section for cell killing. Thus, heritable slow growth is the most prevalent effect of high-LET radiations on cultured animal cells, which may have implications for crew health during deep space travel.

AN - 72869910; 12667497 AB - Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, and non-irritating gas formed when carbon in fuel is not burned completely. It enters the bloodstream through the lungs and attaches to hemoglobin (Hb), the body's oxygen carrier, forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and thereby reducing oxygen (O(2)) delivery to the body's organs and tissues. High COHb concentrations are poisonous. Central nervous system (CNS) effects in individuals suffering acute CO poisoning cover a wide range, depending on severity of exposure: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, disorientation, confusion, collapse, and coma. At lower concentrations, CNS effects include reduction in visual perception, manual dexterity, learning, driving performance, and attention level. Earlier work is frequently cited to justify the statement that CO exposure sufficient to produce COHb levels of ca. 5% would be sufficient to produce visual sensitivity reduction and various neurobehavioral performance deficits. In a recent literature re-evaluation, however, the best estimate was that [COHb] would have to rise to 15-20% before a 10% reduction in any behavioral or visual measurement could be observed. This conclusion was based on (1) critical review of the literature on behavioral and sensory effects, (2) review and interpretation of the physiological effects of COHb on the CNS, (3) extrapolation from the effects of hypoxic hypoxia to the effects of CO hypoxia, and (4) extrapolation from rat behavioral effects of CO to humans. Also covered in this review article are effects of chronic CO exposure, the discovery of neuroglobin, a summary of the relatively new role for endogenous CO in neurotransmission and vascular homeostasis, groups which might be especially sensitive to CO, and recommendations on further research. The interested reader is directed to other published reviews of the literature on CO and historically seminal references that form our understanding of this ubiquitous gas.

AN - 72865600; 12634141 AB - In November 1994 methyl parathion (MP), a restricted agricultural pesticide, was discovered to have been illegally sprayed within hundreds of residences in Lorain County, Ohio. Surface levels and air concentrations of MP revealed detectable levels of the pesticide 3 years after spraying. Because of the high toxicity of MP (lethal dose to 50% of rats tested [LD50] = 15 mg/kg) and long half-life indoors, risk-based relocation and decontamination criteria were created. Relocation criteria were derived based on levels of p-nitrophenol in urine, a metabolic byproduct of MP exposure. In Ohio, concentrations of MP on surfaces and in the air were also used to trigger relocations. The criteria applied in Ohio underwent refinement as cases of MP misuse were found in Mississippi and then in several other states. The MP investigation (1994-1997) was the largest pesticide misuse case in the nation, ultimately involving the sampling of 9,000 residences and the decontamination of 1,000 properties. This article describes the methodology used for relocation of residents and decontamination of properties having MP.

AN - 72863880; 12634133 AB - Chemical disinfection of water is a major public health triumph of the 20th century. Dramatic decreases in both morbidity and mortality of waterborne diseases are a direct result of water disinfection. With these important public health benefits comes low-level, chronic exposure to a very large number of disinfection byproducts (DBPs), chemicals formed through reaction of the chemical disinfectant with naturally occurring inorganic and organic material in the source water. This article provides an overview of joint research planning by scientists residing within the various organizations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development. The purpose is to address concerns related to potential health effects from exposure to DBPs that cannot be addressed directly from toxicological studies of individual DBPs or simple DBP mixtures. Two factors motivate the need for such an investigation of complex mixtures of DBPs: a) a significant amount of the material that makes up the total organic halide and total organic carbon portions of the DBPs has not been identified; and b) epidemiologic data, although not conclusive, are suggestive of potential developmental, reproductive, or carcinogenic health effects in humans exposed to DBPs. The plan is being developed and the experiments necessary to determine the feasibility of its implementation are being conducted by scientists from the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory, the National Risk Management Research Laboratory, the National Exposure Research Laboratory, and the National Center for Environmental Assessment.

AN - 72827908; 12540048 AB - In siting a monitor to measure compliance with U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM), there is a need to characterize variations in PM concentration within a neighborhood-scale region to achieve monitor siting objectives. A simple methodology is provided here for the selection of a neighborhood-scale site for meeting either of the two objectives identified for PM monitoring. This methodology is based on analyzing middle-scale (from 100 to 500 m) data from within the area of interest. The required data can be obtained from widely available dispersion models and emissions databases. The performance of the siting methodology was evaluated in a neighborhood-scale field study conducted in Hudson County, NJ, to characterize the area's inhalable particulate (PM10) concentrations. Air monitors were located within a 2- by 2-km area in the vicinity of the Lincoln Tunnel entrance in Hudson County. Results indicate the siting methodology performed well, providing a positive relationship between the predicted concentration rank at each site and the actual rank experienced during the field study. Also discussed are factors that adversely affected the predictive capabilities of the model.

AN - 72806270; 12509041 AB - Total suspended particulate (TSP) samples were collected weekly over a period of one year at four European sites during 1995/6. Two sites were in London-a Central London site (CL, St Paul's Cathedral) and a suburban North London site (NL, Bounds Green); the other two sites were in Porto, Portugal and Vienna, Austria. TSP was collected using a low volume sampler. Organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) concentrations were measured using a thermal-optical carbon analyser. Parallel samplers collected TSP for subsequent GC-MS analysis of thirty-nine combustion-associated organic compounds; 16 polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 23 n-alkanes. OC and EC correlate well at all sites (r2 = 0.39-0.65), although the London inter-site correlations were low, suggesting that local sources of OC and EC have a significant influence on local concentrations. Concentrations do not vary widely across the four urban sites, despite the significant differences in urban characteristics. Seasonal patterns of OC:EC ratios were similar at the London and Vienna sites, with highest ratios in autumn and winter, and annual mean OC:EC ratios were identical at these sites. The Carbon Preference Index (CPI) indicated vehicle emissions to have a stronger influence over particulate concentrations at the Vienna and central London sites; there was a stronger biogenic signature in north London and Porto. In addition, two PAH compounds (pyrene and fluoranthene) previously associated with diesel exhaust, were correlated with OC and EC concentrations at the London and Vienna sites.

AN - 72800390; 12503496 AB - The complex and interconnected nature of ecological systems often makes it difficult to understand and prevent multiresource, multistressor problems. This article describes a process to assess ecological condition at regional scales. The article also describes how the approach was applied to the Mid-Atlantic estuaries, where it focused on characterizing the current state of the environment rather than on predicting future effects from humans. The necessity for iteration during the exercise showed how important it was to identify the purpose of the assessment and its users, that appropriate, consistent data are lacking for large-scale assessments, and that it remains a challenge to communicate succinctly the results of such an assessment.

AN - 72779600; 12492163 AB - Recent studies of the size and composition of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) have demonstrated the usefulness of separating atmospheric PM into its fine and coarse components. The need to measure the mass and composition of fine and coarse PM separately has been emphasized by research in exposure, epidemiology, and toxicology of atmospheric PM. This paper provides a background on the size distribution and properties of PM relevant to the differences between fine and coarse particles. Various decisions that must be made when deciding how to separate, collect, and measure PM are discussed. Techniques for monitoring fine and coarse particles, including the US Federal Reference Method for PM2.5 and several techniques for PM10-2.5, are presented. Problems encountered in collecting semivolatile PM and in weighing atmospheric PM collected on a filter are described. Continuous monitoring methods for PM mass and for PM components (carbon, nitrate, and sulfate) are described and brief descriptions are given of analytical techniques for the chemical characterization of collected PM. This information should be especially useful for environmental workers familiar with monitoring methods for total suspended particles or PM10 but who will need to measure PM2, and PM10-2.5 in the future.

AN - 72775766; 12489736 AB - In this paper, we present two years of seasonal nitric oxide (NO), ammonia (NH3), and nitrous oxide (N2O) trace gas fluxes measured in a recovering riparian zone with cattle excluded and adjacent riparian zone grazed by cattle. In the recovering riparian zone, average NO, NH3, and N2O fluxes were 5.8, 2.0, and 76.7 ng N m(-2) S(-1) (1.83, 0.63, and 24.19 kg N ha(-1) y(-1)), respectively. Fluxes in the grazed riparian zone were larger, especially for NO and NH3, measuring 9.1, 4.3, and 77.6 ng N m(-2) S(-1) (2.87, 1.35, and 24.50 kg N ha(-1) y(-1)) for NO, NH3, and N2O, respectively. On average, N2O accounted for greater than 85% of total trace gas flux in both the recovering and grazed riparian zones, though N2O fluxes were highly variable temporally. In the recovering riparian zone, variability in seasonal average fluxes was explained by variability in soil nitrogen (N) concentrations. Nitric oxide flux was positively correlated with soil ammonium (NH4+) concentration, while N2O flux was positively correlated with soil nitrate (NO3-) concentration. Ammonia flux was positively correlated with the ratio of NH4+ to NO3-. In the grazed riparian zone, average NH3 and N2O fluxes were not correlated with soil temperature, N concentrations, or moisture. This was likely due to high variability in soil microsite conditions related to cattle effects such as compaction and N input. Nitric oxide flux in the grazed riparian zone was positively correlated with soil temperature and NO3- concentration. Restoration appeared to significantly affect NO flux, which increased approximately 600% during the first year following restoration and decreased during the second year to levels encountered at the onset of restoration. By comparing the ratio of total trace gas flux to soil N concentration, we show that the restored riparian zone is likely more efficient than the grazed riparian zone at diverting upper-soil N from the receiving stream to the atmosphere. This is likely due to the recovery of microbiological communities following changes in soil physical characteristics.

Four partitioning tracer tests were conducted, two using an inverted, double five-spot pumping pattern, and two using vertical circulation wells. Two of the four tests were conducted prior to remedial activities, and two were conducted after. Each test was conducted as a "blind test" where researchers conducting the partitioning tracer tests had no knowledge of the volume, method of release, nor resulting spatial distribution of DNAPL. Multiple partitioning tracers were used in each test, and the DNAPL volume estimates varied significantly within each test based on the different partitioning tracers. The tracers with large partitioning coefficients generally predicted a smaller volume of PCE than that expected based on the actual release volume. However, these predictions were made for low DNAPL saturations (average saturation was approximately 0.003), under conditions near the limits of the method's application. Furthermore, there were several factors that may have hindered prediction accuracy, including tracer degradation and remedial fluid interference.

AN - 21279082; 11702302 AB - Risk assessment formulas are often distinguished from dose-response models by being rough but necessary. The evaluation of these rough formulas is described here, using the example of mixture risk assessment. Two conditions make the dose-response part of mixture risk assessment difficult, lack of data on mixture dose-response relationships, and the need to address risk from combinations of chemicals because of public demands and statutory requirements. Consequently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed methods for carrying out quantitative dose-response assessment for chemical mixtures that require information only on the toxicity of single chemicals and of chemical pair interactions. These formulas are based on plausible ideas and default parameters but minimal supporting data on whole mixtures. Because of this lack of mixture data, the usual evaluation of accuracy (predicted vs. observed) cannot be performed. Two approaches to the evaluation of such formulas are to consider fundamental biological concepts that support the quantitative formulas (e.g., toxicologic similarity) and to determine how well the proposed method performs under simplifying constraints (e.g., as the toxicologic interactions disappear). These ideas are illustrated using dose addition and two weight-of-evidence formulas for incorporating toxicologic interactions.

It was then irradiated by low-pressure (monochromatic) and medium-pressure (polychromatic) UV lamps to investigate the effects of UV irradiation on the extracted organic matter (EOM). When the EOM, collected by solid phase extraction cartridges, was analyzed by conventional UV spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC), no significant changes in the EOM were revealed for various UV doses. Positive and negative electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of the EOM produced mass spectra that vary significantly with UV dose. The UV dosage conditions also appear to affect the reactivity of the EOM to subsequent chlorination. The magnitude of the spectral changes is generally greater for medium-pressure lamps than for low pressure and increases with UV exposure. Based on the observed MS peaks, the changes may be due to the presence of lignin, resulting perhaps from photooxidation and/or photorearrangement of macromolecules in the sample. When chlorination is used for secondary disinfection, these results suggest that it may be important to consider the effects of UV irradiation on the organic matter in the water before applying UV disinfection technology to a particular source water.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Enhanced Contact of Cosolvent and DNAPL in Porous Media by Concurrent Injection of Cosolvent and Air AN - 19936224; 5652993 AB - Dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contamination is a major environmental problem. Cosolvent flooding is proposed as a remedial alternative to water flooding. The efficacy of cosolvent flooding is a function of the degree of contact between the injected remedial fluid and the resident DNAPL. Poor contact may result from remedial fluids traveling in preferential flow paths which bypass trapped DNAPL. Thus, the motivation for this study was to use the preferential flow of air in porous media to enhance contact between the injected cosolvent and resident DNAPL. The study evaluated concurrent injection of cosolvent and air to improve the spatial extent of DNAPL removal in porous media. A 70% ethanol/30% water (v/v) cosolvent was injected simultaneously with air into a micromodel containing residual tetrachloroethylene (PCE). Double drainage displacement was observed as a dominant DNAPL removal mechanism in the initial period of the cosolvent-air flooding (i.e., gas displaced PCE that displaced water). The residual PCE residing in the preferential paths traversed by air was readily displaced. In addition to this initial PCE mobilization, air flowing through the preferential flow paths displaced cosolvent from these paths into other flow paths and facilitated dissolution of PCE.

Trenbolone acetate is an anabolic steroid used to promote growth in beef cattle. It is hydrolyzed to the active compound, 17 beta -trenbolone (TB), which is also one of the metabolites excreted by cattle. Reproductive alterations have been reported in fish living in waters receiving cattle feedlot effluent, and in vitro androgenic activity displayed by feedlot effluent samples has been related to these effects. In the current study, the androgenic potency of TB was examined both in vitro and in short-term in vivo assays. TB was a high affinity ligand for the androgen receptor (AR), with an IC sub(50) of about 4 nM in rat ventral prostate cytosol and about 33 nM in cells transfected with the human AR when competed with 1 nM [3H]R1881. TB induced AR- dependent gene expression in MDA-kb2 cells with a potency equal to or greater than dihydrotestosterone. In immunocytochemistry experiments with the human AR, concentrations as low as 1 pM significantly induced androgen-dependent translocation of the AR into the cell nucleus. TB also displayed antiglucocorticoid activity in vitro, inhibiting dexamethasone-induced transcriptional activity, and reduced adrenal gland size in vivo. In the Hershberger assay (in vivo), TB was as potent as testosterone propionate in tissues that lack 5 alpha -reductase but less effective at increasing weight of tissues with this enzyme. Such tissue specificity was anticipated because other C-19 norsteroidal androgens display a similar profile in this assay. Subcutaneous TB treatment was about 50- to 100-fold more effective in stimulating growth of androgen-dependent tissues than was oral treatment. In our in utero screening assay, maternal TB administration increased AGD and attenuated the display of nipples in female offspring in a dose-related manner, similar to the published effects of testosterone propionate. Previous studies have documented that these types of malformations in newborn and infant rats are not only permanent effects but are also highly correlated with serious reproductive malformations as adults. In summary, TB is a potent environmental androgen both in vitro and in vivo and, in contrast to other reports, can induce developmental abnormalities in the fetus.

We have shown previously that monomethylarsonous acid (MMA super(III)) and dimethylarsinous acid (DMA super(III)) are genotoxic and can damage supercoiled phi X174 DNA and the DNA in peripheral human lymphocytes in culture. These trivalent arsenicals are biomethylated forms of inorganic arsenic and have been detected in the urine of subjects exposed to arsenite and arsenate. We show here by molecular, chemical, and physical methods that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are intermediates in the DNA-damaging activities of MMA super(III) and DMA super(III). Using the phi X174 DNA nicking assay we found that the ROS inhibitors Tiron, melatonin, and the vitamin E analogue Trolox inhibited the DNA-nicking activities of both MMA super(III) and DMA super(III) at low micromolar concentrations. The spin trap agent 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) also was effective at preventing the DNA nicking induced by MMA super(III) and DMA super(III). ESR spectroscopy studies using DMPO identified a radical as a ROS intermediate in the DNA incubations with DMA super(III). This radical adduct was assigned to the DMPO-hydroxyl free radical adduct on the basis of comparison of the observed hyperfine splitting constants and line widths with those reported in the literature. The formation of the DMPO-hydroxyl free radical adduct was dependent on time and the presence of DMA super(III) and was completely inhibited by Tiron and Trolox and partially inhibited by DMSO. Using electrospray mass spectrometry, micromolar concentrations of DMA super(V) were detected in the DNA incubation mixtures with DMA super(III). These data are consistent with the conclusions that the DNA-damaging activity of DMA super(III) is an indirect genotoxic effect mediated by ROS-formed concomitantly with the oxidation of DMA super(III) to DMA super(V).

The population exposure is calculated for a reference year by sex and lyfestyle, with respect to smokers and non smokers. Potential health risk is therefore quantified by means of mathematical models and the relative significance of the different sources is described. The results of the analysis are useful for the identification of appropriate risk reduction strategies to minimize exposure, in particular when resulting from lifestyle and personal activities.

Sea-salt derived Na super(+) dominated the samples having an average concentration of 2.4 mu g m super(-3). Extensive anthropogenic influences are evident with average non-sea-salt sulfate (nssSO sub(4) super(2-)) and nitrate (NO sub(3) super(-)) concentration values of 2.1 mu g m super(-3) and 1.3 mu g m super(-3) respectively. High levels of these species are linked to air mass transport from Europe: observed as short-term (2-3 days) pollution peaks. The pollution peaks overlie a summertime maximum in background levels. From comparison with Southern Hemisphere data, it is estimated that 80% of the observed nssSO sub(4) super(2-) originated from anthropogenic sources. Regression analysis shows a high degree of linearity between the NO sub(3) super(-) and CN concentration, which is stronger than found with between NssSO sub(4) super(2-) and CN concentration. This is considered paradoxical as in the maritime atmosphere NO sub(3) super(-) has primarily been found in supermicron size range linked to sea-salt, while nssSO sub(4) super(2-) and CN are primarily considered to be submicron aerosol. The CN:NO sub(3) super(-) linearity is considered to arise from NO sub(3) super(-) formation and transport processes over ocean regions.

Mercury is considered a significant environmental problem due to its ability to bioaccumulate in the aquatic food chain, where it may eventually affect human health. It is released into the atmosphere by natural, as well as anthropogenic, sources. Some of the anthropogenic sources include coal-fired utility plants and industrial processes. In Ohio, we have taken a proactive approach to identify some of the sources that emit mercury into the atmosphere. Routine emission testing in mid-1999 showed that metal scrap melting facilities could be fairly large sources of mercury emissions. Following this finding, Ohio EPA sent out a survey to all facilities that melt, or otherwise process, scrap metal to determine the possible extent of mercury emissions from these facilities. After analyzing the results of the survey, Ohio EPA has required certain facilities to conduct tests for mercury emissions. This paper outlines the methodology implemented to identify these possible sources of mercury emissions in Ohio.

A well developed literature of nutrient export coefficients by land-cover class was used to model the risk of equaling or exceeding specified levels of nutrient export. The model was applied to about 1000 comparatively small watersheds mapped for the state of Maryland for environmental analysis and planning. Risk estimates generally increased from west to east, but numerous areas of high variability were evident. Risk of exceeding specified levels of nitrogen and phosphorus export were nonlinearly related to the amount of forest in the watershed. Risk increased more dramatically for phosphorus and nitrogen when forest dropped below between 90 and 95%, respectively. Bifurcations in this nonlinear relationship were the result of the relative abundance of agriculture and urban land in the watershed. The nonlinear relationship between percentage forest and risk increased more dramatically for phosphorus and less dramatically for nitrogen when urban was relatively more abundant than agriculture. Regional-scale variation in risk is discussed in terms of its relevance to environmental management.

The passive samplers were constructed of low-density polyethylene membrane bags containing 2,2,4-trimethylpentane solvent (TRIMPS). Both uptake and release experiments were run in triplicate. Each experiment involved four treatments, including a control and three fivefold dilutions of a pesticide mixture that included the usual range of these pesticides as measured in the riverine environment of cotton-growing regions of Australia. The results indicated that for nonpolar pesticides with a log K sub(OW) > 3.5, uptake was linear over the 42-d exposure time and was independent of the treatment concentration. The half-lives for release of these pesticides from the TRIMPS varied from 26 to 130 d in clean water. The relatively polar pesticides with a log K sub(OW) < 3.5 had lower uptake rates into the TRIMPS because of their affinity for water. Release of trimethylpentane from the TRIMPS placed in 0.85-mm mesh nylon bags in river water was used as an indicator for chemical diffusion across the aqueous boundary to examine the effect of environmental factors. Most variability in solvent release in the field-deployed TRIMPS across all sites was explained by time of deployment and was not significantly influenced by river flow or water temperature. This suggests that river flow and water temperature may not be important in influencing uptake rates of pesticides into TRIMPS when employed in the field.

Duplicate sets of dry deposition sampling instruments were installed adjacent to existing instruments and have been operated for various periods at 11 collocated field sites. All sampling and operations were performed using standard CASTNet procedures. The current study documents the biascorrected precision of CASTNet data based on collocated measurements made at paired sampling sites representative of sites across the network. These precision estimates include the variability for all operations from sampling to data storage in the archive. Precision estimates are provided for hourly, instrumental ozone (O sub(3)) concentration and meteorological measurements, hourly model estimates of deposition velocity (V sub(d)) from collocated measurements of model inputs, hourly O sub(3) deposition estimates, weekly filter pack determinations of selected atmospheric chemical species, and weekly estimates of V sub(d) and deposition for each monitored filter pack chemical species and O sub(3). Estimates of variability of weekly pollutant concentrations, expressed as coefficients of variation, depend on chemical species: NO super(-) sub(3) similar to 8.1%; HNO sub(3) similar to 6.4%; SO sub(2) similar to 4.3%; NH super(+) sub(4) similar to 3.7%; SO super(2) sub(4) super(-) similar to 2.3%; and O sub(3) similar to 1.3%. Precision of estimates of weekly V sub(d) from collocated measurements of model inputs also depends on the chemical species: aerosols similar to 2.8%; HNO sub(3) similar to 2.6%; SO sub(2) similar to 3.0%; and O sub(3) similar to 2.0%. Corresponding precision of weekly deposition estimates are: NO super(-) sub(3) similar to 8.6%; HNO super(-) sub(3) similar to 5.2%; SO sub(2) similar to 5.6%; NH super(+) sub(4) similar to 3.9%; SO super(2) sub(4) super(-) similar to 3.5%; and O sub(3) similar to 3.3%. Precision of weekly concentration, V sub(d) estimates, and deposition estimates are comparable in magnitude and slightly smaller than the corresponding hourly values. Annual precision estimates, although uncertain due to their small sample size in the current study, are consistent with the corresponding weekly values.

AN - 72700093; 12438010 AB - Recent advances in genetic toxicity (mutagenicity) testing methods and in approaches to performing risk assessment are prompting a renewed effort to harmonize genotoxicity risk assessment across the world. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) first published Guidelines for Mutagenicity Risk Assessment in 1986 that focused mainly on transmissible germ cell genetic risk. Somatic cell genetic risk has also been a risk consideration, usually in support of carcinogenicity assessments. EPA and other international regulatory bodies have published mutagenicity testing requirements for agents (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, etc.) to generate data for use in genotoxicity risk assessments. The scheme that follows provides a proposed harmonization approach in which genotoxicity assessments are fully developed within the risk assessment paradigm used by EPA, and sets out a process that integrates newer thinking in testing battery design with the risk assessment process. A classification strategy for agents based on inherent genotoxicity, dose-responses observed in the data, and an exposure analysis is proposed. The classification leads to an initial level of concern for genotoxic risk to humans. A total risk characterization is performed using all relevant toxicity data and a comprehensive exposure evaluation in association with the genotoxicity data. The result of this characterization is ultimately used to generate a final level of concern for genotoxic risk to humans. The final level of concern and characterized genotoxicity risk assessment are communicated to decision makers for possible regulatory action(s) and to the public.

AN - 72693291; 12438007 AB - Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is the most thoroughly studied polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Many mechanisms have been suggested to explain its carcinogenic activity, yet many questions still remain. K-region dihydrodiols of PAHs are metabolic intermediates depending on the specific cytochrome P450 and had been thought to be detoxification products. However, K-region dihydrodiols of several PAHs have recently been shown to morphologically transform mouse embryo C3H10T1/2CL8 cells (C3H10T1/2 cells). Because K-region dihydrodiols are not metabolically formed from PAHs by C3H10T1/2 cells, these cells provide a useful tool to independently study the mechanisms of action of PAHs and their K-region dihydrodiols. Here, we compare the morphological cell transforming, DNA damaging, and DNA adducting activities of the K-region dihydrodiol of B[a]P, trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol with B[a]P. Both trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol and B[a]P morphologically transformed C3H10T1/2 cells by producing both Types II and III transformed foci. The morphological cell transforming and cytotoxicity dose response curves for trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol and B[a]P were indistinguishable. Since morphological cell transformation is strongly associated with mutation and/or larger scale DNA damage in C3H10T1/2 cells, the identification of DNA damage induced in these cells by trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol was sought. Both trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol and B[a]P exhibited significant DNA damaging activity without significant concurrent cytotoxicity using the comet assay, but with different dose responses and comet tail distributions. DNA adduct patterns from C3H10T1/2 cells were examined after trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol or B[a]P treatment using 32P-postlabeling techniques and improved TLC elution systems designed to separate polar DNA adducts. While B[a]P treatment produced one major DNA adduct identified as anti-trans-B[a]P-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide-deoxyguanosine, no stable covalent DNA adducts were detected in the DNA of trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol-treated cells. In summary, this study provides evidence for the DNA damaging and morphological cell transforming activities of the K-region dihydrodiol of B[a]P, in the absence of covalent stable DNA adducts. While trans-B[a]P-4,5-diol and B[a]P both induce morphological cell transformation, their activities as DNA damaging agents differ, both qualitatively and quantitatively. In concert with the morphological cell transformation activities of other K-region dihydrodiols of PAHs, these data suggest a new mechanism/pathway for the morphological cell transforming activities of B[a]P and its metabolites.

AN - 72782407; 12487318 AB - We examined the use of room-temperature hydrochloric acid (1-6 M) and salt solutions of magnesium chloride, sodium carbonate, and sodium sulfide for the removal of arsenic from synthetic iron monosulfides and contaminated sediments containing acid-volatile sulfides (AVS). Results indicate that acid-soluble arsenic reacts with H2S released from AVS phases and precipitates at low pH as disordered orpiment or alacranite. Arsenic sulfide precipitation is consistent with geochemical modeling in that conditions during acid extraction are predicted to be oversaturated with respect to orpiment, realgar, or both. Binding of arsenic with sulfide at low pH is sufficiently strong that 6 M HCl will not keep spiked arsenic in the dissolved fraction. Over a wide range of AVS concentrations and molar [As]/[AVS] ratios, acid extraction of arsenic from sulfide-bearing sediments will give biased results that overestimate the stability or underestimate the bioavailability of sediment-bound arsenic. Alkaline solutions of sodium sulfide and sodium carbonate are efficient in removing arsenic from arsenic sulfides and mixed iron-arsenic sulfides because of the high solubility of arsenic at alkaline pH, the formation of stable arsenic complexes with sulfide or carbonate, or both.

Ambient air samples were collected once every 12 days at a single sampling site in Concord, CA, from June to November 2000, using a modified high-volume air-sampling device equipped with glass fiber filters and polyurethane foam. Concentrations of total PAHs and PCBs ranged from 5.7 to 56 and 0.17 to 0.32 ng/m super(3), respectively. PAHs and PCBs in the ambient air were predominantly in the vapor phase (83-99%). Gaseous fluxes of PAHs in the estuary showed high seasonal variation, ranging from 110 ng times m super(-2) times day super(-1) efflux in August to 1050 ng times m super(-2) times day super(-1) influx in November. Gaseous PCBs showed consistent net volatilization (2.2-24 ng times m super(-2) times day super(-1)) for this period. Particle settling contributed estimated net deposition fluxes of 45-960 ng times m super(-2) times day super(-1) for PAHs and 0.39-2.1 ng times m super(-2) times day super(-1) for PCBs. Combining these fluxes, PAHs were either deposited to or lost from the estuary via the atmosphere, depending on the month. In contrast, there consistently was net emission of PCBs from the estuary to the atmosphere.

AN - 72644978; 12409243 AB - Hydrophobic dyes have been used to visually distinguish dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contaminants from background aqueous phases and soils. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dyed DNAPL, 0.5 g Oil-Red-O/l of PCE, on the physical properties of remedial solutions: water, co-solvents (50, 70, and 90% (v/v) ethanol), and surfactants (4% (w) sodium dihexyl sulfosuccinate). This study compared the densities, viscosities, and interfacial tensions (IFTs) of the remedial solutions in contact with both dyed and undyed PCE. The presence of the dye in PCE substantially alters the IFTs of water and ethanol solutions, while there is no apparent difference in IFTs of surfactant solutions. The remedial solutions saturated with PCE showed higher viscosities and densities than pure remedial solutions. Solutions with high ethanol content exhibited the largest increases in liquid density. Because physical properties affect the flow of the remedial solutions in porous media, experiments using dyed DNAPLs should assess the influence of dyes on fluid and interfacial properties prior to remediation process analysis.

The mass of suspended particles retained on the surfaces of microalgae growing on submerged substrates and the algal biomass were determined by comparing the scandium content of suspended material with that in algal communities. Scandium, a predominantly soil-associated trace element, has been used as a 'tracer' for the inorganic component of suspended particles, because this element is geologically ubiquitous in soils, and it is recognized that it cannot cross natural membranes of plants and other organisms. The algal biomass determined using the scandium content was compared with biomass values calculated using phytopigments as estimates of periphyton biomass. The results indicate that the suspended particle mass adhering to the external periphyton surface may accounted for up to 55% of the total mass collected on submerged artificial substrates.

AN - 72881933; 12696655 AB - The effect of ambient air pollutants, pollens, and mold spores on respiratory health was studied in an area with low concentrations of chemical pollutants and abundant aeroallergens. A panel of 40 asthmatic subjects living near East Moline, Illinois, recorded peak expiratory flow rates (PEFRs), respiratory symptoms, frequency of asthma attacks, and asthma medication use between April and October 1994. Daily outdoor concentrations of pollutants and aeroallergens were measured, and indoor levels of bioaerosols were measured on several occasions in each participant's home. Ozone was associated with increased morning and evening symptom scores and decreased evening PEFR, and these associations remained significant with adjustment for weather and aeroallergens. The association between ozone and asthma medication use was increased in magnitude and significance with adjustment for weather and aeroallergens; however, the association between ozone and morning PEFR became nonsignificant with weather and aeroallergen adjustment. Significant associations were also found between pollen concentration and decreased evening PEFR, as well as between increased morning and evening symptom scores and asthma medication use. In addition, associations were noted between total spore concentration and increased morning PEFR and decreased morning and evening symptom scores. The inverse associations found with mold spore concentrations were not consistent with the results of other studies; however, the associations between ozone and pollen concentration were consistent with previous studies. When results were stratified by a number of independent risk factors, no differences were noted relative to allergic status or presence of dampness or flooding in the home; however, the associations with outdoor ozone and pollens were seen mainly among participants with low levels of exposure to indoor bioaerosols (< 1,800 spores/m3) or with no environmental tobacco smoke exposure.

AN - 72828152; 12540097 AB - Large-scale virus studies of groundwater systems require practical and sensitive procedures for both sample processing and viral assay. Filter adsorption-elution procedures have traditionally been used to process large-volume water samples for viruses. In this study, five filter elution procedures using cartridge filters were evaluated for their effectiveness in processing samples. Of the five procedures tested, the third method, which incorporated two separate beef extract elutions (one being an overnight filter immersion in beef extract), recovered 95% of seeded poliovirus compared with recoveries of 36 to 70% for the other methods. For viral enumeration, an expanded roller bottle quantal assay was evaluated using seeded poliovirus. This cytopathic-based method was considerably more sensitive than the standard plaque assay method. The roller bottle system was more economical than the plaque assay for the evaluation of comparable samples. Using roller bottles required less time and manipulation than the plaque procedure and greatly facilitated the examination of large numbers of samples. The combination of the improved filter elution procedure and the roller bottle assay for viral analysis makes large-scale virus studies of groundwater systems practical. This procedure was subsequently field tested during a groundwater study in which large-volume samples (exceeding 800 L) were processed through the filters.

AN - 72756660; 12477196 AB - One acetamide and 5 acetanilide herbicides are currently registered for use in the United States. Over the past several years, ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) and oxanilic acid (OA) degradation products of these acetanilide/acetamide herbicides have been found in U.S. ground waters and surface waters. Alachlor ESA and other acetanilide degradation products are listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 1998 Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List. Consequently, EPA is interested in obtaining national occurrence data for these contaminants in drinking water. EPA currently does not have a method for determining these acetanilide degradation products in drinking water; therefore, a research method is being developed using liquid chromatography/negative ion electrospray/mass spectrometry with solid-phase extraction (SPE). A novel chromatographic separation of the acetochlor/alachlor ESA and OA structural isomers was developed which uses an ammonium acetate-methanol gradient combined with heating the analytical column to 70 degrees C. Twelve acetanilide degradates were extracted by SPE from 100 mL water samples using carbon cartridges with mean recoveries >90% and relative standard deviations < or =16%.

AN - 72689359; 12433160 AB - This paper presents measurements of dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) concentrations in Lake Michigan and the application of a mechanistic approach to estimate deposition and emission fluxes of gaseous mercury (Hg2+ and Hg0) to and from Lake Michigan. Measurements of DGM concentrations made during May and July, 1994 and January, 1995 indicate that Lake Michigan was supersaturated with DGM suggesting that transfer of Hg0 occurs from the water to the atmosphere. Over-water concentrations of gaseous Hg2+ were estimated from total gaseous Hg (TGM) concentrations measured at five sites in the basin and used to model dry deposition fluxes of Hg2+. The modeling approach combines estimates of dry deposited Hg2+ with known photochemical and biotic reduction rates to form Hg0, which is available for re-emission. The model accounts for temporal and spatial variations in the deposition velocity of gaseous Hg2+ and the transfer velocity of Hg0 using high temporal and spatial resolution meteorological data. The modeled DGM concentrations agree well with the observed DGM concentrations in Lake Michigan. The modeled dry deposition fluxes of Hg2+ (286-797 kg yr(-1)) are very similar to the emission fluxes of Hg0 (320-959 kg yr(-1)), depending on the gaseous Hg2+ concentration used in the model.

Evaluation. AN - 72686179; 12433169 AB - The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system has been adapted to simulate the regional fate and transport of atrazine. Model modifications and simulations spanning April to mid-July 1995 are described in a previous paper. CMAQ results for atrazine concentrations in air and rainfall are evaluated against field observations taken along the Mississippi River and the shores of Lake Michigan in 1995. CMAQ results agree within 10% of published annual wet deposition load estimates for Lake Michigan and predicted annual dry deposition lies within published error bounds. Comparisons of weekly observed and predicted air and rainfall concentrations along the Mississippi River yield order-of-magnitude differences. Precipitation weighting of concentrations in rainfall good agreement for seasonal time frames. Weekly ambient gas form concentrations tend to be overpredicted by the CMAQ and semivolatile particulate fractons are underpredicted. Uncertainty in CMAQ predictions of air and rainfall concentrations for atrazine appear to derive primarily from uncertainty in emissions estimates, simulated precipitation, and spatial scale.

AN - 72651751; 12415492 AB - This pilot study enrolled 20 children between the ages of 11 and 17 months in Imperial County, California to assess children's pesticide exposure and residential proximity to agricultural fields. We compared parental self-report of residential proximity to agricultural fields to measurements using global positioning system/geographical information system (GPS/GIS) technology, and we assessed the relationship between residential proximity to agricultural fields and a biomarker of organophosphate (OP) pesticide exposure. Questionnaires were administered twice, 4 weeks apart, to determine self-reported residential proximity to agricultural fields. Urine samples were collected at each contact to measure OP metabolites. Actual residential proximity to the closest agricultural field and number of fields was within 1 mile to the west were measured using GPS/GIS. Self-report of living proximity to agricultural fields agreed with GPS/GIS measurement 75% of the time during the initial interview, compared to 66% agreement during the second interview. Presence of urinary metabolites suggests that OP exposure was ubiquitous: creatinine-adjusted total urinary dimethyl values ranged from 1.60 to 516.00 microg/g creatinine, and total diethyl ranged from 2.70 to 134.84 microg/g creatinine. No association was found between urinary OP metabolites and residential to field proximity. These results suggest that initial self-report of living proximity to agricultural fields may be more accurate than follow-up self-report. Limitations in this pilot study prevent determination of whether self-report is an accurate measure of proximity.

Results from this laboratory have shown that the coarse inhalable particle fraction (PM(2.5-10)) is responsible for most of the PM effects on human airway macrophages (AM), including induction of cytokine production. Endotoxins associated with these particles account for a large part of their potency, as activity of PM can be inhibited by polymixin B and an activating moiety bound by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP). The hypothesis behind the present study was that not only particle-bound LPS, but also Gram-negative (Gram-) and Gram-positive (Gram+) bacteria are responsible for PM-induced stimulation of AM, and therefore that PM are likely to activate receptors involved in recognition of microbes. Low level contamination of model pollution particles with environmental Staphyloccocus, Streptococcus, and Pseudomonas species was found to confer cytokine-inducing activity on inactive particles. Only one Gram- bacterium was sufficient for significant stimulatation of 100 AM, whereas at least three times more Gram+ bacteria were required for a similar level of response. Cytokine responses induced by PM as well as Gram+ and Gram- bacteria were inhibited by anti-CD14 antibody and required the presence of LBP-containing serum. The involvement of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and 4 in recognition of PM(2.5-10) was investigated in transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing CD14 and TLR2 or TLR4. TLR4 was found to be involved in PM(2.5-10) and Pseudomonas-induced activation, whereas TLR2 activation was induced by both Gram+ and Gram- bacteria and by PM. The synthetic lipid A analog E5531 fully inhibited the response to purified LPS and partially inhibited the response to PM and Pseudomonas. In contrast, E5531 had no effect on the response to Staphylococcus. Taken together, these results implicate microbial components as important players in AM-dependent inflammatory responses to PM.

AN - 72196882; 12389916 AB - During the past 20 years, the role of sediment toxicity tests has expanded from testing of primarily dredged material to risk assessment, decontamination technologies, large-scale regional sediment-quality assessments, and toxicity identification evaluations. Sediment toxicity tests are needed that can provide reliable data using less sediment and smaller test chambers, thus utilizing resources more efficiently. We compared survival results from 10-d standard marine amphipod tests at 20 degrees C using 200 ml of sediment to reduced-volume tests containing 20 or 50 ml of sediment and found no significant differences. Similar survival also was observed in tests conducted for 7-d at 23 degrees C versus the standard 10-d exposure at 20 degrees C. However, amphipod sensitivity was significantly less in reduced-volume tests conducted for only 4- or 7-d at 20 degrees C. The 10-d sediment toxicity tests using 50 ml of sediment provided comparable results to the standard protocol, whereas time for sampling, preparing, and sieving sediments for a test was substantially reduced.

A novel use of Mhc population surveys involves mapping allelic substitutions onto the inferred structural molecular model to show functional differentiation related to local selective pressures. In the estuarine fish Fundulus heteroclitus, populations experiencing strong differences in antigenic challenges show significant differences in amino acid substitution patterns that are reflected as variation in the structural location of changes between populations. Fish from a population genetically adapted to severe chemical pollution also show novel patterns of DNA substitution at a highly variable Mhc class II B locus including strong signals of positive selection at inferred antigen-binding sites and population-specific signatures of amino acid substitution. Heavily parasitized fish from an extreme PCB-contaminated (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund) site show enhanced population-specific substitutions in the alpha -helix portion of the inferred antigen-binding region. In contrast, fish from an unpolluted site show a significantly different pattern focused on the first strand of the B-pleated sheet. Whether Mhc population profile differences represent the direct effects of chemical toxicants or indirect parasite-mediated selection, the result is a composite habitat-specific signature of strong selection and evolution affecting the genetic repetoire of the major histocompatibility complex.

Synthetic oligonucleotides designed for the fathead minnow vitellogenin gene transcription product were used in a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) protocol. This sensitive and rapid strategy detected vitellogenin gene transcription in livers of male fathead minnows exposed to concentrations as low as 2 ng/L of the endocrine-disrupting compound 17 alpha -ethynylestradiol for 24 h. Surprisingly, vitellogenin transcription products also were detected in gill tissue and in 48-h-old posthatch fathead minnow larvae. Relative levels of vitellogenin gene induction among individuals were quantified in a single-step reaction (PCR multiplex) with 18S rRNA universal primers and Competimers super(R) concurrently with fathead minnow vitellogenin oligonucleotides. This quantitative approach will markedly enhance detection of the first cellular event of estrogenic exposure to aquatic ecosystems in both field and laboratory systems. Use of the model provides sensitivity of detection at a concentration below those that cause mortality or visible signs of stress in fish or other aquatic organisms. The model may also provide an in vivo screening method for estrogenlike endocrine-disrupting compounds.

Ecological rather than political areal units are used for aggregating data because human welfare ultimately relies on the natural resources and life support systems provided by healthy ecosystems. Although, no scientific consensus on defining and measuring "ecological integrity" and "human welfare" exists, partial metrics for each were taken from the literature. A geographic information system (GIS) was created to explore statistical relationships between selected measures of ecological and human condition aggregated up to the watershed scale. Rank correlation results at the watershed scale generally corresponded with other findings in the literature reporting negative interactions between society and nature at other spatial scales. The spatial analysis suggested that higher levels of well-being in Ohio, USA, (i.e. in terms of educational attainment, employment, income, and lack of poverty) were near metropolitan areas with connections to larger scale economies rather than isolated economies based on local natural resources (i.e. open rather than closed systems). The same locational arrangement was also found for several "sustainable watersheds" identified in the landscape (i.e. those with higher levels of both human and terrestrial and aquatic ecological conditions). In other words, sustaining high levels of ecological condition and human welfare in watersheds appeared dependent on linkages with external areas and their continued "sustainability" as well. Theoretically, relations between society and nature within one place and between different places may range from mutualistic to competitive interactions, but the former, along with cooperative and commensal relations, are preferred if sustainable development is desired.

Our analysis takes as its point of departure a simple utility-maximising model that suggests many possible determinants of deforestation in an economic environment characterised by missing or thin markets. Hypotheses from the model are tested on a data set that combines a time series of satellite imagery with data collected from a survey of farm households whose agricultural plots were geo-referenced using a global positioning system (GPS). We implement a survival analysis to identify the effect of household level explanatory variables on the probability of deforestation. This approach allows us to introduce a measure of the time until clearance as a covariate, thereby affording a control for the effect of potentially important explanatory variables that vary through time but are not directly observable. In addition to identifying several variables relevant for policy analysis, including household demographics, proximity to roads, and government provision of agricultural support, model results suggest that the deforestation process is characterised by non-linear duration dependence, with the probability of forest clearance first decreasing and then increasing with the passage of time.

The concentration of coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is a primary factor affecting the absorption of incident sunlight in coastal and estuarine waters. In estuaries, CDOM concentrations vary due to changes in salinity gradients, inflows of industrial and domestic effluents, and the production of new dissolved organic matter from marine biologic activity. CDOM absorption data have been collected from a variety of waters. However, there are a limited number of measurements along the US east coast and a general lack of data from New England waters. This study characterized the temporal and spatial variability of CDOM absorption over an annual cycle in Narragansett Bay and Block Island Sound (Rhode Island). Results suggested that, in Narragansett Bay, the magnitude of CDOM absorption is related to the seasonal variability of freshwater input from surrounding watersheds and new CDOM production from in situ biologic activity. The data show that the average CDOM absorption coefficient at 412 nm was 0.45 m super(-1) and the average spectral slope was 0.020 nm super(-1). Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Although occupational exposures to high levels of zinc-fume have been associated with metal-fume fever accompanied by pulmonary inflammation and injury, the effects of PM-associated zinc are unclear. We hypothesized that an oil combustion emission PM (EPM) containing bioavailable zinc would induce pulmonary injury and systemic hematological changes attributable to the leachable zinc following acute as well as longer-term exposures in a rat strain-specific manner. In order to initially characterize the pulmonary response to EPM, male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were intratracheally (IT) instilled with 0.0, 0.8, 3.3, or 8.3 mg/kg EPM in saline. To further determine if the pulmonary injury was associated with the EPM leachable zinc, subsequent studies included IT instillation of SD rats with either saline, whole EPM suspension, the saline leachable fraction of EPM, the particulate fraction of EPM (all at 8.3 mg/kg, soluble Zn = 14.5 mu g/mg EPM), or ZnSO sub(4) (0.0, 33.0, or 66.0 mu g/kg Zn). Finally, to ascertain the cumulative impact of inhaled EPM in the causation of acute pulmonary and systemic effects as well as long-term fibrotic responses, we exposed three rat strains of differential susceptibility to PM. Male SD, normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), and spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats (90 days old) were exposed nose- only to either filtered air or EPM: 2, 5, or 10 mg/m super(3) (6 h/day x 4 days/week x 1 week); or 10 mg/m super(3) (6 h/day x 1 day/week for 1, 4, or 16 weeks) and assessed at 2 days postexposure. IT exposures to whole EPM suspensions were associated with a dose-dependent increase in protein/albumin permeability and neutrophilic inflammation. Pulmonary protein/albumin leakage and neutrophilic inflammation caused by the leachable fraction of EPM and ZnSO sub(4) were comparable to the effect of whole suspension. However, protein/albumin leakage was not associated with the particulate fraction, although significant neutrophilic inflammation did occur following instillation. With EPM nose-only inhalation, acute exposures (10 mg/m super(3) only) for 4 days resulted in small increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein and n-acetyl glucosaminidase activities (~50% above control). Surprisingly, unlike IT exposures, no neutrophilic influx was detectable in BALF from any of the inhalation groups. The only major effect of acute and long-term EPM inhalation was a dose- and time-dependent increase in alveolar macrophages (AM) regardless of the rat strain. Histological evidence also showed dose- and time-dependent accumulations of particle-loaded AM. Particles were also evident in interstitial spaces, and in the lung-associated lymph nodes following the inhalation exposures (SH > WKY = SD). There were strain-related differences in peripheral white blood cell counts and plasma fibrinogen with no major EPM inhalation effect. The present study demonstrated the critical differences in pulmonary responsiveness to EPM between IT and inhalation exposures, probably attributable to the dose of bioavailable zinc. EPM IT exposures, but not acute and long-term inhalation of up to 10 mg/m super(3), caused neutrophilic inflammation. Inhalation exposures may result in particle accumulation and macrophage recruitment with potential strain differences in EPM clearance.

Traditionally, these important species have been difficult to differentiate phenotypically; thus, rRNA lineage analyses have often been invoked. In this report, a newly developed approach is described to rapidly detect and distinguish fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates: PCR amplification of a Pseudomonas-specific 990-bp ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) fragment [Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 64 (1998) 2545.] coupled with multiple enzyme restriction fragment length polymorphism (MERFLP) analysis using a single digestion mixture of AluI, HinfI, RsaI, and Tru9I incubated at 37 degree C. The method distinguished 116 published sequences and 47 reference strains of authentic Pseudomonas representing 28 nomenspecies. A total of 55% (64 /116) of the sequences analyzed by MERFLP were grouped into distinct phylogenetic clusters including Pseudomonas putida, P. syringae, P. aeruginosa, P. stutzeri, and P. fluorescens. The utility of the MERFLPs was confirmed when 100% (33/33) of the above named control reference strains were correctly placed into their phylogenetic clusters. The environmental relevance of the MERFLP method was confirmed when 67% of 28 forest and agricultural soil-derived presumptive Pseudomonas environmental clones and isolates were placed into the five major pseudomonad clusters, one clone fell into the P. agarici cluster, and five clones clustered near related pseudomonads. These data demonstrated that the PCR-MERFLP protocol provides an efficient and powerful tool for distinguishing isolates and rDNA gene libraries of environmental Pseudomonas species.

Event wet-only precipitation, total particulate, and vapor phase samples were collected for Hg, and trace element determinations from five sites around Lake Michigan from July 1994 through October 1995 as part of the Lake Michigan Mass Balance Study (LMMBS). In addition, intensive over-water measurements were conducted aboard the EPA research vessel Lake Guardian during the summer of 1994 and the winter of 1995 as part of the Atmospheric Exchange Over Lakes and Oceans Study. Atmospheric Hg concentrations were found to be significantly higher in the Chicago/Gary urban area than surrounding sites: Hg in precipitation was a factor of 2 and particulate Hg was a factor of 6 times higher. Over-water measurements found elevated Hg concentrations 19 km off shore of Chicago/Gary suggesting an enhanced near field atmospheric deposition to Lake Michigan. Meteorological transport analyses also determined that local sources in the Chicago/Gary urban area significantly impacted all of the LMMBS sites indicating a broad impact to the entire Lake Michigan basin.

The model utilized mercury monitoring data collected during the Lake Michigan Mass Balance Study and the Atmospheric Exchange Over Lakes and Oceans Study together with high-resolution over-water meteorological data provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (July, 1994-October, 1995). Atmospheric deposition was determined to be the primary pathway for mercury input to Lake Michigan, contributing approximately 84% of the estimated 1403 kg total annual input (atmospheric deposition + tributary input). Wet (10.6 mu g m super(-2)) and dry deposition (9.7 mu g m super(-2)) contributed almost equally to the annual atmospheric Hg deposition of 20.3 mu g m super(-2) (1173 kg). Re-emission of dissolved gaseous Hg from the lake was also significant (7.8 mu g m super(-2)), reducing the net atmospheric deposition to 12.5 mu g m super(-2) (720 kg). A strong urban influence was observed in the over-water mercury deposition estimates in the southern portion of the lake. The Chicago/Gary urban area was estimated to contribute approximately 20% (127 kg) of the annual atmospheric mercury deposition to Lake Michigan. The magnitude of local anthropogenic mercury sources in the Chicago/Gary urban area suggests that emission reductions could significantly reduce atmospheric mercury deposition into Lake Michigan.

It is hypothesized that systemic alterations occur concurrent to pulmonary injury/inflammation, and contribute to cardiac events in compromised hosts. We explored this hypothesis using a rat model for human hypertension and cardiovascular disease (spontaneously hypertensive, SH), and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats. SH and WKY rats (12-13 wk old) were exposed either intratracheally (IT; 0.0, 1.0, or 5.0 mg/kg in saline) or nose-only (15 mg/m(3) x 6 h/d x 3 d/wk x 1, 2 or 4 wk) to combustion source residual oil fly ash (ROFA) with low metal content, and examined 1, 2 or 4 d later. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) albumin and neutrophils increased (SH approximately equal WKY) at d 1 following ROFA IT. With inhalation exposure, both strains experienced progressive histological lung damage and increases in BALF albumin and neutrophils during 1 to 4 wk (SH > WKY). Acute lung injury from ROFA IT was temporally associated with increases in plasma fibrinogen in both strains, but only the SH rats responded to the acute 1-wk ROFA inhalation. Longer term (2 or 4 wk) ROFA caused progressive lung injury (SH > WKY), but did not sustain the increase in fibrinogen. BALF glutathione increased in a temporal fashion similar to fibrinogen; however, only WKY rats demonstrated this response. There was a small but consistent decrease in blood lymphocytes and an increase in blood neutrophils in SH rats exposed to ROFA acutely. In conclusion, acute PM exposure can provoke an acute systemic thrombogenic response associated with pulmonary injury/inflammation and oxidative stress in cardiovascular compromised rats. This evidence is consistent with greater cardiovascular events during acute PM episodes in compromised humans. JF - Journal of toxicology and environmental health.

AN - 72190249; 12387419 AB - The impending EPA regulations on the control of mercury emissions from the flue stacks of coal-burning electric utilities has resulted in the development of numerous advanced mercury control technologies such as sorbent injection and in-situ mercury oxidation. Although these technologies can effectively remove mercury from a flue stack they share, along with many other technologies, the common shortcoming of intermedia pollution transfer i.e. the traffic of mercury from the air phase to the solid phase and the subsequent generation of residue for landfill. This work addresses the need for an integrated system of mercury removal and recovery from flue stack gases and from the environment. The research explored the capture of elemental mercury from the gas phase at ambient temperature on an electrically conductive porous sorbent. The mercury loaded sorbent was regenerated at the anode in an electrochemical cell and the oxidized mercury recovered at the cathode as solid elemental mercury. Activated carbon cloth was selected as the most suitable sorbent as it had the highest mercury adsorption capacity of the sorbents tested and was electrically conductive. Direct and indirect electro-oxidation were shown to remove 95% and 100%, respectively, of the elemental mercury from the carbon cloth. After regeneration the carbon cloth was reused without any loss in mercury adsorption capacity. More than 99% of the mercury stripped from the cloth during regeneration was recovered at the cathode.

AN - 72188174; 12387420 AB - Bifunctional aluminum is prepared by sulfating aluminum metal with sulfuric acid. The use of bifunctional aluminum to degrade methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in the presence of dioxygen has been examined using batch systems. Primary degradation products were tert-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl formate, acetone, and methyl acetate. The initial rate of MTBE degradation exhibited pseudo-first-order behavior, and the half-life of reaction was less than 6 h. XPS analysis indicates the formation of sulfate at the surface of bifunctional aluminum. The concentration of surface sulfate varies linearly with increasing strength of the sulfuric acid used during bifunctional aluminum preparation. The rate of MTBE degradation is a function of the concentration of the surface sulfate. MTBE degradation rates increased by a factor of 2 as surface sulfate concentrations increased from 233 to 641 micromol/m2. This relationship implies that sulfate at the surface of bifunctional aluminum acts as a reactive site.

AN - 72042730; 12204590 AB - Five natural, pharmaceutical, or xenobiotic chemicals [17beta-estradiol (E2), ethynylestradiol (EE2), diethystilbestrol (DES), methoxychlor (MXC), nonylphenol (NP)] were tested in two in vitro assays [yeast estrogen screen (YES), MCF-7 breast tumor cell proliferation (E-Screen)], and compared with previously reported results from two in vivo male sheepshead minnow vitellogenin (VTG) production studies. The purpose of this investigation was to determine how accurately the two in vitro assays predicted responses observed in live animals. EC50 values for all five chemicals were approximately one order of magnitude less sensitive in the YES assay than in the MCF-7 assay. Based on the EC50 values, DES was 1.1 (YES) to 2.5 (MCF-7) times more potent in these receptor binding assays than was E2, while EE2 was slightly less potent than E2 in the YES assay (0.7) and nearly twice as potent (1.9) as E2 in the MCF-7 assay. EE2 and DES were of approximately equal potency in the 13-day sheepshead minnow VTG production bioassay. Both MXC and NP were 10(7) times less potent than E2 in the YES assay, MXC was 10(5) times less estrogenic than E2 in the MCF-7 assay, while both were approximately 100 times less potent than E2 in the live animal bioassay. The in vitro tests were substantially less sensitive (at least 1000 times) than the sheepshead minnow VTG assay for estimating estrogenic potency of the two xenobiotic chemicals, which suggests that in vitro-based, large-scale screening programs could potentially result in many false negative evaluations.

AN - 72845211; 12568466 AB - Red glands of Mercenaria mercenaria comprise brown cells that accumulate, detoxify, and excrete copper. Brown cell involvement in metal detoxification is due in part to endogenous glutathione (GSH) and metallothionein (MT). The intent of this study was to test the hypotheses that brown cell GSH functions in protection against Cu2+ toxicity, that brown cell GSH provides the initial defense against Cu2+ prior to brown cell MT induction, and that MT variants (MTI, MTII), if present are unequal in response to Cu2+. Brown cells were analyzed for GSH and MT after 0.25, 1, 2, 3, and 4 days of treatment of Mercenaria with 0.01 and 0.05 ppm Cu2+. Glutathione initiated the brown cell acute response (within the first day of treatment) to both the 0.01 and 0.05 ppm Cu2+ treatments. Metallothionein in brown cells increased to Day 4 during treatment with 0.01 ppm Cu2+, whereas MT concentration was greatest at Day 2 after which it decreased to Day 4 with treatment of 0.05 ppm Cu2+. The change in MTII relative to its control was greater than that of MTI in the brown cell acute response to 0.01 ppm Cu2+ and also for Days 0.25 to 2 in response to the 0.05 ppm Cu2+ treatment. At Days 3 and 4 with the 0.05 ppm Cu2+ the change in MTI/MTII ratio was due to a greater change in MTI than MTII relative to their respective controls. The variants of brown cell MT appear to respond differently to Cu2+ depending on the Cu2+ treatment concentration.

AN - 72730147; 12460755 AB - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began a "reassessment" of the risks posed by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin) and related chemicals in 1991 and issued an interim report in 1994. In 1995, the Science Advisory Board (SAB) reviewed this document and requested revisions. After considerable additional work, EPA issued its final draft report in September 2000. A new EPA SAB reviewed this draft and issued its recommendations in June 2001. This group of scientists offered suggestions to EPA on the following topics, which are discussed in some detail in this article: classification as a "known" human carcinogen, how to estimate the carcinogenic potency, the possible significance of the noncancer hazard, the proper dose metric for cancer and noncancer effects, the uncertainties inherent in the toxicity equivalency factor approach, use of the margin of exposure approach, adequacy of the exposure assessment, body burden calculations, risks to breast feeding children, nonmonotonic responses (U- or J-shaped dose-response curves, or hormetic effect), the possible significance of naturally occurring dioxin-like chemicals, and risks to special populations.

Development and implementation. AN - 72179035; 12380080 AB - The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system is adapted to simulate the regional transport and fate of atrazine, one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States. Model chemistry and deposition are modified, and a gas-to-particle partitioning algorithm is added to accommodate semivolatile behavior. The partitioning algorithm depends on humidity, temperature, and particulate matter concentration and composition. Results indicate that gaseous atrazine will usually dominate warm season atmospheric concentrations, but particulate form can surpass gas forms when atmospheric humidity is high (> 70%) and less-acidic (pH > 2.5) aqueous aerosol component is present. Implementation of the modified CMAQ for atrazine is illustrated, and, within the limits of our current understanding, preliminary transport and fate patterns appear to be reasonable. This research represents one of the first attempts to include a gas-to-particulate matter partitioning mechanism in an Eulerian grid-model.

AN - 60638919; 200308566 AB - A third generation of environmental policy making & risk management will increasingly impose environmental measures, which may give rise to analyzing countervailing risks. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of all risks associated with the decision alternatives will aid decisionmakers in prioritizing alternatives that effectively reduce both target & countervailing risks. Starting with the metaphor of the ripples caused by a stone that is thrown into a pond, we identify 10 types of ripples that symbolize, in our case, risks that deserve closer examination: direct, upstream, downstream, accidental risks, occupational risks, risks due to offsetting behavior, change in disposable income, macroeconomic changes, depletion of natural resources, & risks to the manmade environment. Tools to analyze these risks were developed independently & recently have been applied to overlapping fields of application. This suggests that either the tools should be linked in a unified framework for comparative analysis or the appropriate field of application for single tools should be better understood. The goals of this article are to create a better foundation for understanding the nature & coverage of available tools & to identify the remaining gaps. None of the tools is designed to deal with all 10 types of risk. Provided data suggest that, of the 10 types of identified risks, those associated with changes in disposable income may be particularly significant when decision alternatives differ with respect to their effects on disposable income. Finally, the present analysis was limited to analytical questions & did not capture the important role of the decision-making process itself. 2 Tables, 4 Figures, 125 References.

The U.S. Geological Survey has noted that increased groundwater use mining is a significant issue in almost every state. The development of groundwater has led to declining water levels and artesian head in a number of states. In several areas groundwater levels have declined 91 m (300 feet) or more in the past 10 years. Five case histories were selected where groundwater mining has had a major impact: Denver Colorado, Tucson Arizona, Chicago Illinois, Central Valley of California, and Las Vegas Nevada. In these areas groundwater mining has caused serious environmental and other problems as follows: 1. Stream flow depletion, 2. Land subsidence, 3. Saltwater intrusion, 4. Increased cost to deepen wells, 5. Increased costs to pump groundwater, 6. Decrease in well yield, 7. Drying up of shallow wells and springs, 8. Degradation of water quality.

AN - 52001482; 2003-029119 AB - The hydrogeology of the Leadville Mining District is complex and presents a serious challenge when the goal is to describe what and what may not be "mine pool water" in the presence of shallow and deep ground water and seasonal recharge. This catchment is at an altitude of more than 3,000-4300 m asl and thus contains a significant portion of snow and ice that, until this summer, was essentially perennial. A CERCLA investigation involves California Gulch, an essentially perennial surface stream, that prior to construction of the Leadville Mine Drainage Tunnel (LMDT) also involved ground water that was part of the mine pool. Mine Pool Water currently discharges through the LMDT to a treatment plant operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, but unfortunately the state of repair of this tunnel is questionable at best. Data from the mine pool from the past decade show ominous rising ground-water levels and suggest that the efficiency of the drainage tunnel is declining. Unfortunately the rising ground water levels are not accompanied by a great amount of data and although it seems that mine pool waters may actually be rising, it is not clear why, since snow pack (and recharge?) has been declining for years. Using tracing and tritium data it appears that the LMDT waters are being mixed with surface waters, however, even though the largest amount of snow melt occurs in the spring, hydrographs seem to peak in September. Stable isotope data suggest that for the entire summer, frozen precipitation is the source of the recharge--possibly explained by the nature of recharge from the high altitude catchment area. Isotopic data collected at different times of the year show shifts in fractionation that sometimes suggest rapid recharge of mine workings in the "vadose zone", significant components of high-altitude surface water, and possibly transfer of other water from a catchment area that discharges through the adjacent Yak Drainage Tunnel. Possible methods of measuring the relative contributions of these waters may seem laborious but this may have to be done to even partially understand what is what.

This paper focuses on the placement of CCW in or on land from which minerals have been or are being extracted (i.e., backfilled into mined areas), a practice also known as minefilling. Mine placement of CCW may occur in surface or underground coal mines or in sand and gravel pits or other types of mines. The use of CCW for minefilling is a recent but rapidly growing practice. Commercial electric power producers (e.g., electric utilities) are currently the only known generators of CCW that is minefilled. Minefilling may be practiced either for disposal purposes as an alternative to disposal in a landfill or surface impoundment, or can be practiced in ways that take advantage of certain beneficial properties of the waste (e.g., controlled placement of alkaline coal ash in the acidic environment of an abandoned coal mine to assist in neutralizing acid mine drainage). EPA is engaged in information collection to fill information needs on minefill practices and controls. EPA's goals are to ensure that minefilling is practiced in an environmentally protective manner, and to identify best management practices for minefilling. The mines in which CCW is placed may have direct hydraulic connection with underground sources of drinking water and with surface waters. As explained in the May 2000 Regulatory Determination on CCW, EPA's primary concerns involve direct placement in ground water, acid leaching potential, and adequate monitoring. The Regulatory Determination also acknowledged EPA's lack of information on practices and controls for minefilling. This paper will present EPA's concerns and perspectives on CCW minefill issues, including the status of EPA's information gathering activities regarding minefill management practices and controls. -- Disclaimer: This paper presents the opinion of the author and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Agency.

The Amendments also specify that delineations should be completed with existing data. Ohio EPA wanted to select a delineation method that was technically defensible, but also attainable given the time and resource constraints (Ohio has >6,000 public water systems). The most commonly used delineation programs, WHPA and MODFLOW, were impractical since WHPA is not capable of simulating many of Ohio's more complex aquifers and the information necessary to develop an appropriate MODFLOW model is unavailable for most of the state. Ohio EPA decided that analytic element modeling, specifically GFLOW, was the best delineation option. GFLOW has an easy to use Graphical User Interface, GIS compatibility, and the ability to model the inhomogeneities common in Ohio's complex buried valley aquifers. In addition, the lack of a model grid eliminates much of the guesswork of determining appropriate model size, and makes expanding the modeled area much simpler. Many Ohio EPA staff, however, were skeptical about analytic element models and did not believe GFLOW could provide an accurate delineation. To evaluate GFLOW's effectiveness, Ohio EPA compared delineations completed by consultants using other delineation methods with models Ohio EPA staff created using GFLOW. In many cases the GFLOW models were created for the same public water system by multiple staff to determine the potential variability of modeling results. The results of the analysis changed many opinions, as the GFLOW-modeled protection areas often closely resembled the delineations completed using other methods. In one case, the GFLOW model was considered to produce a more appropriate protection area, since the model grid for the MODFLOW model was too small and did not encompass the entire GFLOW-derived protection area. Ohio EPA has utilized GFLOW to successfully delineate protection areas for hundreds of public water systems and will continue to use GFLOW for future modeling in Ohio.

Drinking water contaminated with As has been associated with a myriad of cancer and non-cancer diseases. In the US, the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Amendments put EPA on a schedule to regulate As. During this period, EPA had two National Research Council (NRC) panels to review the health effects of As. The initial one focused on bladder cancer and calculated a 1% Effective Dose (ED01) of about 400 mu g/L. Since this was only 8-fold higher than the Interim Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 50 mu g/L, the NRC recommended a downward revision as soon as feasible. On 1/22/01, EPA promulgated a MCL of 10 mu g/L. During its review of this standard, EPA had a second NRC panel review the health data base. They stated that As was possibly more toxic than originally thought as the trivalent methylated metabolites were more toxic than arsenite and could react directly with DNA. NRC recommended a linear extrapolation from the ED01. EPA considered the health data along with costs/benefits, analytical and treatment techniques for As and on 10/31/01 announced that there would be no delay in the implementation of the As MCL of 10 mu g/L.

Most of the United States can generally depend on high quality water resources, however this quality may be threatened by future stressors including climate change and increased land-use impacts. Storm runoff from rapidly expanding metropolitan areas can lead to increases in non-point source pollution, erosion and sedimentation, and declining ground-water levels. These changes in geologic and hydrologic processes have been demonstrated to degrade aquatic ecosystems and are likely to increase the risk of waterborne disease. Potential health impacts include acute illnesses from exposure to microbial pollutants and chronic diseases, such as cancer, from exposure to arsenic, disinfection byproducts and synthetic chemicals. Climate change could compound these problems by altering precipitation distribution and intensity. Minimizing these impacts through sound land-use planning requires understanding the relevant geologic and hydrologic processes, which vary with time and physical setting. Geoscientists have an important opportunity to help protect public health and ecosystem integrity by contributing to the design of communities that provide the amenities desired by the public while maintaining the quality of our water resources.

We are examining the utility of dinoflagellate cysts (or hypnozygots produced by dinoflagellates, which can be preserved in sediments) as high-resolution indicators of environmental conditions in estuaries. We measured chemical contamination and analyzed dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in surface sediments collected from three neighboring embayments of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. Characteristics of cyst assemblages reflect variations in salinity and nutrient status of embayment waters, as well as sediment chemistry. We found a significant negative relationship between dinoflagellate cyst diversity and sediment concentrations of copper and organic carbon. Sedimentary cyst concentrations, serving as a proxy of dinoflagellate production, were lowest in the heavily polluted sites of New Bedford Harbor. Principal component analysis, based on proportions of cyst taxa, indicates that cyst assemblages gradually change when moving away from sources of nutrient pollution, and sewage outfalls in particular. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages demonstrate that cysts do reflect environmental conditions such as levels of pollution, nutrients and salinity in estuarine systems, and thus can be sensitive indicators of those conditions.

New Bedford Harbor was permanently settled by Europeans around 1676. The primary activity in the watershed was subsistence farming, until the mid eighteenth century when the small estuary began to grow into what would become the world's largest whaling port. With the subsequent decline of the whaling industry came textile mills and, later, factories producing electrical capacitors and releasing PCBs into the city's Harbor. Although the Harbor was placed on the EPA's National Priority List for cleanup (i.e., a Superfund site) because of high concentration of PCBs in its sediments, it is also highly contaminated with metals and other organic chemicals. Population growth paralleled industrial growth and introduced high levels of nutrients in waters, as well. Our indicators of paleo-primary production (pigments, biogenic silica, diatoms and cysts of autotrophic dinoflagellates) show four major changes in the aquatic ecosystem. Early forest clearance increased nutrient loading to the estuary temporarily stimulating production. A second pulse in production was stimulated by introduction of nutrients with discharge of urban sewage. Later declines in "production" are probably due to improvements in municipal sewage disposal practices, but impacts of the introduction of toxic substances from local industries cannot be discounted. Over this time our diatom record suggests that the base of production also shifted from one that was benthic-dominated to one that was pelagic-dominated. A final increase in production is reflected solely by increased pigment flux in our last years of record, but preceded by a dinoflagellate bloom. We assume this is due to a major shift in the phytoplankton community to one presently dominated by nanoplankton.

Thus, coalbed sequestration is a promising candidate for early commercialization; both reservoir simulations and identification of the most-needed laboratory and field research measurements are needed now. In the implementation of new technologies for underground injection of fluids, field-scale reservoir simulators traditionally are used in the design of pilot and demonstration projects. However, they also may be used to perform sensitivity studies and to help identify those chemical, geophysical, flow, and other measurements that are most-needed for optimization of the new technology. We have performed parametric studies of the effects of various (uncontrollable) coal-seam properties and (controllable) engineering parameters on carbon dioxide sequestration. These properties include porosity, permeability, cleat spacing, pod size, sorption isotherm, sorption rate, and reservoir pressure, water saturation, and gas composition. Engineering parameters explored include various combinations of vertical and horizontal wells, and well lengths and orientations. These results may contribute not only to site selection and design of operating conditions, but to choice and interpretation of both field measurements (such as well-test measurements of permeability) and laboratory measurements (such as the effects of confining pressure on sorption isotherms, flow through cleats, and coal swelling). The results may also help to guide the development of advanced simulators that include such features as explicit cleats (instead of dual porosity) or advanced gridding methods.

This lack of information is especially critical along the Platte River in central Nebraska where riparian grasslands support a multitude of migratory birds, and where flow re-regulation to enhance habitat for endangered species is being considered. Ecologists use a host of techniques to quantify how environmental gradients, like surface and ground water levels, are linked to plant species. Nearly all these techniques, however, produce results that represent gradients in general terms such as low to high elevation, xeric to mesic, and low to high concentration. While ecologists understand the implications of these imprecise scales, managers responsible for making decisions affecting one or more of these gradients need information that is more precise. For our study, we preserved the scale and units of a water-level gradient ranging from below the surface to above the surface by using non-linear equations to fit plant species response curves to this dominant gradient. Non-linear equations are more useful than linear equations, like polynomials, because their coefficients can be interpreted with a biological meaning such as population peak, optimum gradient position, and ecological amplitude. Plant response to this water-level gradient was fit to 65 species. From among eight water-level statistics evaluated, the peak 10-day running-mean water level for the growing season produced the best plant-response fit, suggesting that several consecutive days of high water levels are more influential than low water levels or the frequency of high water levels. Land management practices affected 21 species by changing their frequency of occurrence and/or their position along the water-level gradient. Most species have an ecological amplitude from 35-80 cm along the water-level gradient, but a few have amplitudes as narrow as 20 cm. For these species with narrow amplitudes, a small permanent change in the 10-day high water level might completely displace their topographic location, possibly causing their aerial extent to expand or contract depending upon the available topography.

PCB-containing electrical equipment may be found in mines throughout the world because both electrical systems and mining methods follow the same general patterns. The abandonment of this equipment in underground mines is likely to present worldwide ground water contamination in mining districts. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of man-made structurally-related chemicals manufactured in the United States between 1929 and 1977 when manufacture was voluntarily discontinued. In 1978, their manufacture was prohibited, and their use and disposal closely regulated, by the PCB regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Act that regulates industrial chemicals in use, including the disposal of PCBs. PCBs have become a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that have been detected in air, water, soils, and biosystems worldwide where they present a threat to human health and the environment. Despite the fact that manufacture has been prohibited in the United States of America and many other countries, PCBs are still used in electrical equipment. Certain continuing uses have been authorized under the PCB regulations. The major use of PCBs authorized by the regulations as dielectric fluids (or contaminants in dielectric fluids) in transformers and capacitors. Because the mining industry has been an extensive user of PCB-containing electrical equipment, some of this equipment has been abandoned underground. Furthermore, PCB-containing electrical equipment remains in underground use today. Abandoned equipment can become irretrievable, and released PCBs create a threat to ground and surface waters.

Understanding oxygen exclusion patterns in vadose zone environments is important in designing an ABV process for bioremediation of soil contaminated with chlorinated solvents. In particular, the establishment of an anaerobic zone of influence by nitrogen injection in the vadose zone is investigated. Oxygen exclusion experiments are performed in a pilot scale flow cell (2X1.1X0.1 m) using different venting flows and two different outflow boundary conditions (open and partially covered). Injection gas velocities are varied from 0.25X10 (super -3) to 1.0X10 (super -3) cm/s and are correlated with the ABV radius of influence. Numerical simulations are used to predict the collected experimental data. In general, reasonable agreement is found between observed and predicted oxygen concentrations. Use of impervious covers can significantly reduce the volume of forcing gas used, where an increase in oxygen exclusion efficiency is consistent with a decrease in the outflow area above the injection well.

Heavy metals, common pollutants in natural waters and stormwater, are known to associate with particles, affecting the metals' transport and fate. The outfalls were instrumented with automatic samplers which collected flow-weighted samples for at least 4 storms. Samples were sequentially filtered through 5 mu m and 0.45 mu m filters and a 10K nominal molecular weight pore size ultrafilter (approx. 0.01 mu m). The ultrafiltrate was operationally defined as dissolved. Filtrates and unfiltered aliquots were analyzed for metals, including Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn, and total organic carbon (TOC). Cd and Ni were not detected. Unfiltered Pb and Cr concentrations ranged from 5-40 mu g/L. Unfiltered Cu and Zn concentrations ranged from 3-65 mu g/L and 5-322 mu g/L respectively. Pb and Cr were not detectable after 5 mu m filtration. Cu and Zn partitioning varied widely. In some samples they were almost entirely dissolved (up to 90%). When particulate Cu or Zn was present it was mostly >5 mu m in size, as indicated by reductions in concentrations up to 75% after 5 mu m filtration. Smaller amounts of Cu and Zn (up to 20%) were present as colloids (0.010-05 mu m), contrary to expectations that colloids would carry most of these metals. Thirty to 90% of Al, Fe, and Si was >5 mu m in size. Smaller fractions (up to 20%) were colloidal. The Fe, Al, and Si are most likely from mineral phases such as Fe oxides, silica, and clays, and are probably associated with the particulate fractions of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cr. Organic carbon (4- >100 mg/L) was mostly dissolved (40-90%) and in 0.01-0.45 mu m sized colloids (up to 40%). There was no correlation between colloidal Cu and Zn and colloidal organic carbon. Up to 30% of TOC was >5 mu m, part of which may be coatings on Fe-, Al-, and Si-bearing particles. The results provide needed data on the characteristics of runoff, which impacts receiving waters such as streams and estuaries. Stormwater treatment strategies that rely on settling can achieve partial Cu and Zn removal by settling particles greater than 5 mu m in size, but dissolved fractions can continue to move through the environment.

In some cases, this phenomenon occurs because the molecules are too large physically to pass through biological membranes, at least by passive transport. The size of the smallest circle through which a molecule can pass is called its minimum effective cross-sectional diameter. Until now, no method has been generally available for determining this parameter. Here, we present such a method, based on vector analysis, that produces results in seconds or minutes, even for relatively large molecules, on a desktop computer. The only input required is the Cartesian coordinates and van der Waals radii of the constituent atoms. The gas-phase, energy-minimized structure is used as an approximation, because to our knowledge, no practical means of experimentally measuring an effective diameter in solution is currently available.

The widespread use of MTBE has resulted in its frequent detection in samples of shallow groundwater from urban areas. Limited contamination of drinking water has also occurred, which is problematic because MTBE is considered a possible human carcinogen by the U.S. EPA and has a disagreeable taste and odor, even at extremely low concentrations. MTBE can be released into the environment from leaking underground fuel tanks (LUFTs). In 1995/96, 1828 wells from 236 LUFT sites located in 24 counties within California were analyzed; MTBE was detected in 78% of these sites. Maximum concentrations ranged from several mu g/L to approx. 100 mu g/L, indicating a wide range in magnitude of potential MTBE impact at gasoline release sites. In California, among 2297 active public water supply wells, MTBE was detected in 0.35%. MTBE contamination may be a progressive problem due to its apparent recalcitrance and mobility.

Bimetallic Cu/Al was prepared by a simple two-step synthetic method where Cu was deposited onto the Al surface. The presence of Cu on Al significantly enhanced rates of degradation of halogenated methanes and reduced toxic halogenated intermediates. The stability of Cu/Al was preliminarily studied by a multi-spiking batch experiment where complete degradation of carbon tetrachloride was achieved for seven times although the Cu/Al aging was found. Roles of Cu may involve protecting Al against an undesirable oxidation with water, enhancing reaction rates through the galvanic corrosion, and increasing the selectivity to a benign compound (i.e., methane). Kinetic analyses indicated that the activity of bimetallic Cu/Al was comparable to that of iron-based bimetals (e.g., palladized iron) and zero-valent metals. Bimetallic Cu/Al could be a promising reactive reagent for remediation of halogenated solvents-contaminated groundwater associated with high pH problems.

Parameters of these models (removal rate constants (k) and background concentrations (C*)) demonstrate apparent dependence on inlet concentration and hydraulic loading rate which is not alleviated by including dispersion to address non-ideal flow. The phenomenon can be understood as resulting from an interdependence between k and local flow velocity, due to the functional dependence of each on drag-inducing surfaces (and attached biofilms) associated with submerged vegetation and litter. This paper presents a simple method, based on theoretical considerations, for determining C* using inlet-outlet data, independent of the degree of mixing or the nature of the removal processes. This paper also expands upon the hypothetical multi-channel example to suggest a modeling approach in which a wetland is treated conceptually as an ensemble of parallel, non-interacting stream tubes in plug-flow, characterized by a continuous distribution of Damkoehler numbers. The Damkoehler number distribution (DND) can be estimated from the residence time distribution (RTD) under the assumption of uniform flow path length. For such a wetland, under steady state conditions and with constant inlet concentration, the fraction of a removable pollutant remaining as a function of normalized distance from inlet to outlet is given by the Laplace transform of the DND. Similarly, the DND can be derived from the inverse Laplace transform of the normalized concentration versus normalized distance curve. Given both an RTD and a DND, it is possible to investigate the relationship between k and residence time, and the mechanistic nature of the removal process. Employing these concepts makes it possible to generate an expression for normalized concentration as a function of fractional distance that is unaffected by changes in inlet concentration, and inherently takes into account changes in hydraulic loading rate.

The accounting and aggregating of these morbidity and mortality outcomes is key to support decision making and can be accomplished by different methods that we call human health metrics. This article attempts to answer two questions: Does it matter which metric is chosen? and What are the relevant characteristics of these metrics in environmental applications? Three metrics (quality adjusted life years (QALYs), disability adjusted life years (DALYs), and willingness to pay (WTP)) have been applied to the same diverse set of health effects due to environmental impacts. In this example, the choice of metric mattered for the ranking of these environmental impacts and it was found for this example that WTP was dominated by mortality outcomes. Further, QALYs and DALYs are sensitive to mild illnesses that affect large numbers of people and the severity of these mild illnesses are difficult to assess. Eight guiding questions are provided in order to help select human health metrics for environmental decision-support tools. Since health metrics tend to follow the paradigm of utility maximization, these metrics may be supplemented with a semi-quantitative discussion of distributional and ethical aspects. Finally, the magnitude of age-dependent disutility due to mortality for both monetary and nonmonetary metrics may bear the largest practical relevance for future research.

Current default risk assessments for chemical mixtures assume additivity of carcinogenic effects, but this may not represent the actual biological response. A rodent model of hereditary renal cancer (Eker rat) was used to evaluate the carcinogenicity of mixtures of water disinfection by- products (DBPs). Male and female Eker rats were treated with individual DBPs or a mixture of DBPs for 4 or 10 months. Potassium bromate, 3-chloro-4- (dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone, chloroform, and bromodichloromethane were administered in drinking water at low concentrations of 0.02, 0.005, 0.4, and 0.07 g/l, respectively, and high concentrations of 0.4, 0.07, 1.8, and 0.7 g/l, respectively. Low and high dose mixture solutions comprised all four chemicals at either the low or the high concentrations, respectively. Body weights, water consumption, and chemical concentrations in the water were measured monthly. All tissues were examined macroscopically for masses and all masses were diagnosed microscopically. Total renal lesions (adenomas and carcinomas) were quantitated microscopically in male and female rats treated for 4 or 10 months. A dose response for renal tumors was present in most treatment groups after 4 or 10 months of treatment. Treatment with the mixture produced on average no more renal, splenic, or uterine tumors than the individual compound with the greatest effect. This study suggests that the default assumption of additivity may overestimate the carcinogenic effect of chemical mixtures in drinking water.

Over the last two decades, the general applicability of this assumption, referred to as Haber's Law, has begun to be questioned. This study examined the interaction of exposure concentration and duration on embryonic development during a portion of organogenesis. Embryos were exposed in whole embryo culture to various temperature-duration combinations and evaluated for alterations in development 24 h later. The specific purpose of the study was to assess whether the developmental responses followed Haber's Law, or whether an additional component of exposure was needed to model the relationship. The current study demonstrated that the response of the developing embryo to hyperthermia, with rare exception, was dependent on an additional component of exposure beyond the cumulative exposure. For the vast majority of the parameters measured in this study, the probability of an effect was greater at higher temperatures for short durations than at lower temperatures for long durations, given the same cumulative exposure. Thus, Haber's Law did not adequately describe the results of our study.

Androgen concentration and androgen receptor levels vary in male reproductive target tissues during development. Exposure to environmental androgen antagonists during critical windows of fetal and postnatal development can inhibit male sexual development by blocking transcription of androgen-dependent genes. As the sensitivity to androgen antagonists under conditions of varying androgen concentrations and varying androgen receptor levels is unknown, we used a luciferase reporter assay to investigate the transcriptional effects of a known androgen antagonist (the vinclozolin metabolite M2) at different androgen concentrations and different androgen receptor levels. The ability of M2 to inhibit transcription was greater at lower concentrations of androgen (5 alpha -dihydrotestosterone) and androgen receptor. The data were modeled to determine the dose-response surface of M2 and androgen receptor concentrations at different 5 alpha -dihydrotestosterone levels and the relationship of the 3 components to the response. The model and hypothesis testing results suggest that, at 0.01 and 0.1 nM 5 alpha - dihydrotestosterone concentrations within the expected in vivo range of free androgen levels during development, the response-surface shapes were similar and the interaction of the androgen receptor and M2 concentrations to the response were similarly antagonistic. Thus, two components of the developmental stage, androgen and androgen receptor concentrations, are critical for sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of an androgen antagonist.

Residual oil fly ash (ROFA) is a metallic by-product of the combustion of fossil fuel oil, which has been shown to induce a variety of proinflammatory responses in lung cells. We have examined signaling pathways activated in response to ROFA exposure and recently reported that ROFA treatment activates multiple mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases in the rat lung. In the present study we extended our investigations on the mechanism of toxicity of ROFA to include transcription factors whose activities are regulated by MAP kinases as well as possible effectors of transcriptional changes that mediate the effects of ROFA. We applied immunohistochemical methods to detect ROFA-induced activation of nuclear factor- Kappa B (NF Kappa B), activating transcription factor-2 (ATF-2), c-Jun, and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in intact lung tissue and confirmed and characterized their functional activation using DNA binding assays. We performed these studies using a perfused rabbit lung model that is devoid of blood elements in order to distinguish between intrinsic lung cell effects and effects that are secondary to inflammatory cell influx. We report here that exposure to ROFA results in a rapid activation of all of the transcription factors studied by exerting direct effects on lung cells. These findings validate the use of immunohistochemistry to detect transcription factor activation in vivo and demonstrate the utility of studying signaling changes in response to environmental exposures.

Four sediments, types included , a beach sand, two fine-grained muds, but from different locations, and a 50:50 mixture of one of the mud sediments and beach sand. Our hypothesis was that the pattern of colonization would differ among sediment types based on empirical field data and theory but the differences would be expressed most strongly at sediment type extremes (e.g., mud versus sand). A total of 49 taxa colonized the four sediments. Unidentified Actiniaria (sea anemones) numerically dominated densities among all four sediments with densities ranging between 46.5 to 60.5 per microcosm (20 cm side super(-1)). Average taxa richness per microcosm (N: 10 replicates per sediment treatment) ranged from 10.4 in one of the mud treatments to 14.9 taxa in the sand. These were the only significant differences among sediment types (P less than or equal to 0.05) in taxa richness and we detected no significant effects of sediment type on animal densities. Differences in community metrics, although statistically significant, were generally of a relatively small magnitude. Five of 10 microcosms per treatment were randomly selected to test for effects of sediment depth (e.g., top, mid, and bottom). In vertically sectioned microcosms, average taxa richness in sand treatments was significantly greater than those of the other three sediments. A non-parametric multivariate analysis (Primer) revealed that community structure in the vertically sectioned microcosms differed significantly between sand and one of the mud treatments. Mean taxa richness of top sections differed significantly from mid and bottom sections. We detected significantly higher animal densities and taxa richness (p less than or equal to 0.05) in vertically sectioned versus non-sectioned microcosms. However, these differences were unexplained based on experimental protocols.

Samples consisted of whole-fish analyses of both small (120 mm) fish at each site, when both were present. Overall, Hg levels ( mu g/g) in small fish (X = 0.031; standard deviation [SD] = 0.029), large piscivores (X = 0.284; SD = 0.175), and large invertivores (X = 0.055; SD = 0.047) were found within fairly narrow ranges; always above detection (0.0025 mu g/g) and almost always below 0.4 mu g/g. Given the great ecoregion diversity across Oregon, the narrow range in fish tissue Hg levels suggests that atmospheric transport is an important vehicle for Hg distribution. In small fish, Hg levels were almost always low and showed little meaningful difference among fish taxa. In large fish, Hg levels were significantly related to fish length. Piscivores (pikeminnow and bass) had significantly higher Hg levels, and the slope of their Hg level/length relationship was much steeper than for invertivores. Salmonids, the most commonly occurring fish taxon in Oregon, exceeded 0.1 mu g Hg/g (deemed protective for fish-eating mammals) in an inferred 15% of stream lengths where they occurred. Pikeminnows and bass were found at fewer sites, but they exceeded 0.1 mu g Hg/g in an inferred 96 and 70%, respectively, of stream lengths where they occurred.

Methods included pixel-wise Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Multiband Image Difference (MID) techniques. The NDVI method utilized non-normalized (raw) imagery data, while the MID method required normalized imagery. Image normalization techniques included both automatic scattergram-controlled regression (ASCR) and localized relative radiometric normalization (LRRN) techniques. Change/no-change thresholds for each method were optimized using calibration curves developed from reference data and a series of method-specific binary change masks. Cover class-specific thresholds were derived for each of the four methods using a previously developed NRB-LC classification (1998-1999) to support data stratification. An independent set of accuracy assessment points was selected using a disproportionate stratified sampling strategy to support the development of error matrices. Area-weighted conditional probability accuracy statistics were calculated based on the areal extent of change and no change for each cover class. All methods tested exhibited acceptable accuracies, ranging between 80% and 91%. However, change omission errors for woody cover types were unacceptably high, with values ranging between 60% and 79%. Overall commission errors in the change category were also high (42-51%) and strongly affected by the agriculture class. There were no significant differences in the Kappa coefficient between the NDVI, MID ASCR, and LRRN normalization methods. The MID non-normalized method was inferior to both the NDVI and MID ASCR methods. Stratification by major LC type had no effect on overall accuracies, regardless of method.

The adsorbent was a combination of graphitic carbon and a Carboxen-type carbon molecular sieve. The method detection limits (MDLs) for 1 1 samples were typically 0.5 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) and lower except for bromomethane and chloromethane, both of which exhibited breakthrough. Thirty-day sample storage on the sorbents resulted in less than a 20% change for most compounds, and water management was required for humid samples to avoid major anomalous decreases in response during analyses. The adsorbent-based system, a system using canister-based monitoring, and a semi-continuous automated GC/MS (autoGC) monitoring system with a Tenax GR/Carbotrap B/Carbosieve S-III adsorbent preconcentrator were compared using spiked ozone concentrations as a variable. In this comparison, the target compounds included a number of n-aldehydes as well as those listed in TO-14A. The effects of ozone on the TO-14A compounds were relatively minor with the exception of negative artifacts noted for styrene and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane. However, a small, systematic decrease in response was evident for a number of aromatic VOCs and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane when ozone was increased from 50 to 300 ppbv. Method averages for multiple runs under the same conditions were typically within plus or minus 0.25 ppbv of their mean for most compounds. For n-aldehydes, strong positive artifacts using the autoGC preconcentrator and strong negative artifacts for the canister-based and carbon sorbent approaches caused major disagreement among methods. These artifacts were mostly eliminated by using MnO sub(2) ozone scrubbers, although loss of the n-aldehydes for all methods occurred after a single sample collection of 1 h duration, apparently due to the interaction of the n-aldehydes and products of the O sub(3), MnO sub(2) reaction on the scrubber.

Indicators measured at 425 probability-based stations included water quality (temperature, salinity, clarity, and dissolved oxygen), contamination and toxicity of sediment, structure of benthic and fish communities, and gross external pathology of fishes. These data were used to quantify the condition of ecological resources in the entire province, as well as in three subgroups (small estuaries, large estuaries, and major tidal rivers). Also characterized was the condition of ecological resources for four major estuarine systems within the province (Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Bay, Hudson-Raritan system, and Long Island Sound) and three tidal rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed (Potomac, Rappahannock, and James). The data provide an unbiased baseline estimate of estuarine conditions in this province in the early 1990s. They should be useful in assessing long-term and broadscale questions such as global climate change, biodiversity, and environmental impacts.

Mine drainage sediments were collected from sites in the Anthracite Region of eastern Pennsylvania, representing acid to near neutral pH. Sediments occurring in acidic waters contained primarily schwertmannite and goethite while near neutral waters produced ferrihydrite. The minerals comprising the sediments occurring at each pH mode were spectrally separable. Spectral angle difference mapping was used to correlate sediment color with stream water pH (r super(2)=0.76). Band-center and band-depth analysis of spectral absorption features were also used to discriminate ferrihydrite and goethite and/or schwertmannite by analyzing the super(4)T sub(1) arrow left super(6)A sub(1) crystal field transition (900-1000 nm). The presence of these minerals accurately predicted stream water pH (r super(2)=0.87) and provided a qualitative estimate of dissolved SO sub(4) concentrations. Spectral analysis results were used to analyze airborne digital multispectral video (DMSV) imagery for several sites in the region. The high spatial resolution of the DMSV sensor allowed for precise mapping of the mine drainage sediments. The results from this study indicate that airborne and space-borne imaging spectrometers may be used to accurately classify streams impacted by acid vs. neutral-to-alkaline mine drainage after appropriate spectral libraries are developed.

It is estimated that the current worldwide demand for infrastructure investment is approximately three trillion dollars annually. A Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated that community water systems nationwide have an immediate need of $12.1 billion in infrastructure investment, primarily to protect against microbiological contamination. This paper presents equations that can be used to estimate the cost of system construction, expansion, and rehabilitation and repair for distribution system components. Equations have been developed for installation of new pipe, trenching, embedment, and the other unit operations that are required to replace or construct new distribution system components. Equations have also been developed to estimate the cost of cement mortar lining, sliplining, and corrosion control. These equations can be used in an additive manner to estimate the cost of all of the unit operations required for replacing or laying new distribution system piping, and for a limited set of rehabilitation and repair options.

AN - 72085495; 12227955 AB - Comprehensive and systematic approaches are needed to understand the molecular basis for the health effects of particulate matter (PM) reported in epidemiological studies. Due to the complex nature of the pollutant and the altered physiological conditions of predisposed populations, it has been difficult to establish a direct cause and effect relationship. A high-throughput technology such as gene expression profiling may be useful in identifying molecular networks implicated in the health effects of PM and its causative constituents. Differential gene expression profiles derived for rat lungs exposed to PM and its constituent metals using a custom rat cardiopulmonary cDNA array are presented here. This array consists of 84 cardiopulmonary-related genes representing various biological functions such as lung injury/inflammation, repair/remodeling, structural and matrix alterations, and vascular contractility, as well as six expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The cDNA array was hybridized with (32)P-labeled cDNA generated from rat lung RNA. Total lung RNA was isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats at 3 and 24 h following intratracheal instillation of either saline, residual oil fly ash (ROFA; 3.3 mg/kg), or its most toxic metallic constituents, nickel (NiSO(4); 3.3 mmol/kg) and vanadium (VSO(4); 5.7 mmol/kg). Metal concentrations reflected the levels present in one ROFA instillate. Densitometric scans of the array blots indicated ROFA- and metal-specific increased expression (1.5 to 3-fold) of stress response, inflammatory, and repair-related genes, and also genes involved in vascular contractility and thrombogenic activity. Expression of multiple cytokines in ROFA exposed rat lung compared to Ni and V suggest the role and importance of understanding constituent interactions in PM toxicity. Expression profiling using genomic approaches will aid in our understanding of toxicant-specific altered molecular pathways in lung injury and pathogenesis.

Used as a stiffening agent to keep the wick out of the molten wax, lead can be emitted as particulates to the air and then deposited on indoor surfaces. To define the problem, 100 sets of candles (two or more identical candles) were purchased locally. The criterion for purchase was that the candles must appear to contain a metal-cored wick or be covered by a metallic pigment. Of the candles purchased, 8% contained lead wicks. The wicks were 39-74% lead (the remainder was fabric or paper) and the lead cores (approx. 100% lead) had linear densities of 13-27 mg/cm. Candles were burned to completion in a closed chamber to capture the air emissions, and the candle residue was extracted to assess the lead mass balance. It was found that individual candles emitted lead to the air at average rates that ranged from 100 to 1700 mu g/h. Assuming realistic indoor conditions, these emission rates were modeled to project room air concentration, child exposure by inhalation, and indoor deposition. Results showed that burning single candles can easily raise the source room concentration above the ambient air lead concentration limit of 1.5 mu g/m super(3) set by EPA. Burning multiple candles can elevate it above OSHA permissible exposure limits of 50 mu g/m super(3). Although blood lead levels have dropped precipitously in the United States since lead was phased out of gasoline in 1986, nearly 900 000 children still had levels above 10 mu g/dl during NHANES III. Considering that candle sales in the US are estimated at $1-2 billion per year, and that children may spend as much as 88% of their time indoors, it is reasonable to suspect that some blood lead elevation in children arises from indoor micro-environments where lead-wick candles are burned.

AN - 72778100; 12481872 AB - The objective of this study was to provide baseline information on the effects of a golf course complex on water quality, colonized periphyton, and seagrass meadows in adjacent freshwater, near-coastal, and wetland areas. The chemical and biological impacts of the recreational facility, which uses reclaimed municipal wastewater for irrigation, were limited usually to near-field areas and decreased seaward during the 2-year study. Concentrations of chromium, copper, and organochlorine pesticides were below detection in surface water, whereas mercury, lead, arsenic, and atrazine commonly occurred at all locations. Only mercury and lead exceeded water quality criteria. Concentrations of nutrients and chlorophyll a were greater in fairway ponds and some adjacent coastal areas relative to reference locations and Florida estuaries. Periphyton ash free dry weight and pigment concentrations statistically differed but not between reference and non-reference coastal areas. Biomass of Thalassia testudinum (turtle grass) was approximately 43% less in a meadow located adjacent to the golf complex (P < 0.05). The results of the study suggest that the effects of coastal golf courses on water quality may be primarily localized and limited to peripheral near-coastal areas. However, this preliminary conclusion needs additional supporting data.

AN - 72731816; 12458909 AB - Evidence is presented to demonstrate that the rat is a sensitive rodent species for developmental immunotoxicity testing of chemicals. A battery of immune function assays was performed in adult rats, which were exposed perinatally (i.e., during gestational, lactational, and/or juvenile development) to three different classes of environmental chemicals. The chemicals employed were the following: the organotins di-n-octyltindichloride (DOTC) and tributyltin oxide (TBTO); the polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbon 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD); and the organochlorine pesticides methoxychlor (MXC) and heptachlor (HEP). Suppression of immune function was observed in adult rats exposed to each of these chemicals during immune system development. The duration of immune function suppression in the rats so exposed ranged from three weeks (i.e., DOTC and MXC) to 19 months (i.e., TCDD) after the last exposure to the chemical.

AN - 72621922; 12396686 AB - Early efforts directed toward the development of pesticide regulations addressed serious acute illnesses associated with pesticide mixing, loading, and application. As those pesticide exposures and illnesses came under control through official regulatory action, attention has turned toward problems associated with the impacts of pesticides on communities and schools. By contrast to the early successes in bringing major acute poisoning under control, the problems of pesticide impacts on communities and schools have been especially difficult to resolve through the regulatory process. This article discusses the dynamics of the new and emerging impacts of pesticides on communities and schools, with an emphasis upon California experiences.

AN - 72621862; 12396682 AB - In the majority of cases, respiratory exposure accounts for a small fraction of total body exposure to pesticides; however, higher volatility pesticides pose a greater risk for exposure, particularly in enclosed spaces and near application sites. In 2000, nearly 22 million pounds of active ingredients designated as toxic air contaminants (TACs) were applied as pesticides in California (combined agricultural and reportable non-agricultural uses; California Department of Pesticide Regulation, 2001a, Summary of Pesticide Use Report Data, 2000, Sacramento, CA: author). Agricultural workers and agricultural community residents are at particular risk for exposure to these compounds. The TAC program in California, and more recently the federal Clean Air Act amendments, have begun to address the exposures of these groups and have promulgated exposure guidelines that are, in general, much more stringent than the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) worker exposure guidelines. Choosing lower volatility pesticides, lower concentrations of active ingredients, and handling equipment designed to minimize exposure can often reduce worker respiratory exposures significantly. The use of personal protective equipment, which would be facilitated by the development of more ergonomic alternatives, is important in these higher respiratory exposure situations. Finally, in the case of community residents, measures taken to protect workers often translate to lower ambient air concentrations, but further study and development of buffer zones and application controls in a given area are necessary to assure community protection.

AN - 72614860; 12396687 AB - The California legislature enacted a law requiring the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to evaluate whether our risk assessment methodologies are adequately protective of infants and children. In addition both OEHHA and the California Air Resources Board must examine whether the Ambient Air Quality Standards set for criteria air pollutants and the health values developed for air toxics are adequately protective of infants and children. We have initiated a program to look at potential differences in response to toxicants between children and adults. We are evaluating this issue from the perspective of exposure differences as well as toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic differences between children and adults. Data on specific chemicals are rather limited. As a result, we will be pooling information to determine whether there are generic differences between children and adults that may be applicable to risk assessment in general or to risk assessment of specific classes of compounds. This paper discusses the rationale for approaching the issue of determining whether our risk assessment methods are adequate for infants and children and includes a discussion of some of the available information on both qualitative and quantitative differences in response to toxicants between children and adults or immature and mature laboratory animals. We provide examples of differences between children and adults in absorption, metabolism, and excretion of toxicants as well as qualitative differences in toxic response.

AN - 72191013; 12387334 AB - An approach to shortening the analysis time for practical fast gas chromatography (GC) by using Method Translator software, which can be downloaded free from the Internet, is presented. This software simplifies the process of optimizing temperature programming while changing column dimensions, carrier gas type, and flow. Basic chromatographic theory is employed in a practical manner for adjusting column dimensions for optimal performance. In addition, electronic pneumatic control and high oven ramp rates make it easier to achieve fast analysis times without reproducibility problems. This practical approach is demonstrated using Contract Laboratory Program pesticide analytes. The factors found to be most important in decreasing the analysis time without a loss of performance are utilization of GC columns having smaller diameters and substitution of hydrogen for helium as the carrier gas.

AN - 72176818; 12377000 AB - A recently published computational approach to the permanental polynomial scales very badly (approximately 2(n)) with problem size, relying as it does on examining the entire augmented adjacency matrix for nonzero products. The present study presents an entirely different algorithm that relies on symbolic computation of second partial derivatives. This approach has previously been applied to the matching polynomial but not the permanental polynomial. The differential-operator algorithm scales much better with problem size. For fullerene-type structures without perimeters, the two algorithms take about the same time to compute n = 32. On one n = 40 structure, the new algorithm was >45 times faster. Relative performance is even better for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structures, which have perimeters.

AN - 72167872; 12371175 AB - Describing contaminant spatial distribution is an integral component of risk assessment. Application of geostatistical techniques for this purpose has been demonstrated previously. These techniques may provide both an estimate of the concentration at a given unsampled location, as well as the probability that the concentration at that location will exceed a critical threshold concentration. This research is a comparative study between multiple indicator kriging and kriging with the cumulative distribution function of order statistics, with both local and global variograms. The aim was to determine which of the four methods is best able to delineate between "contaminated" and "clean" soil. The four methods were validated with a subset of data values that were not used in the prediction. Method performance was assessed by calculating the root mean square error (RMSE), analysis of variance, the proportion of sites misclassified by each method as either "clean" when they were actually "contaminated" or vice versa, and the expected loss for each misclassification type. The data used for the comparison were 807 topsoil Pb concentrations from the inner-Sydney suburbs of Glebe and Camperdown, Australia. While there was very little difference between the four methods, multiple indicator kriging was found to produce the most accurate predictions for delineating "clean" from "contaminated" soil.

AN - 72157026; 12374417 AB - The National Exposure Research Laboratory of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conducts research to measure exposure of individuals to chemical pollutants through the diet. In support of this research, methods are being evaluated for the determination of pesticides in dietary composite samples. In the present study, Soxhlet, blender, microwave-assisted, pressurized fluid, and supercritical fluid extraction methods were compared for the determination of incurred and added pesticides in 4 dietary composites, which varied in fat and water content. Incurred pesticides were chlorothalonil, chlorpyrifos, DDE, dicloran, dieldrin, endosulfan I, malathion, cis- and trans-permethrin, and trifluralin. Added pesticides were alpha- and gamma-chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, and fonofos. Concentrations of the individual pesticides were between 0.2 and 20 ng/g composite. All 5 methods tested could extract pesticides from dietary composites. Most incurred pesticides were recovered from the dietary composites within the range of 59-140% of expected values. Recoveries of added pesticides were between 60 and 130%. Microwave-assisted extraction led to significantly higher concentrations of 7 pesticides. Blender extraction yielded significantly higher concentrations of chlorothalonil and fonofos. Water content was a significant factor in the recovery of chlorothalonil, and fat content was a significant factor in the recovery of fonofos. In designing an exposure study, the selection of the extraction method would be determined by number of samples to be extracted, analyte stability, and cost.

AN - 72082153; 12226912 AB - In urban areas, elementary schools may be in close proximity to major roadways. Major roadways have been shown to be a significant source of particulate (PM10) air pollution. In several recent studies, particulate air pollution has been demonstrated to be an important factor associated with negative respiratory health effects, especially in minority children. In response to community concerns, during April 2000 the Office of Environmental Health and Safety of the Los Angeles Unified School District conducted an exposure assessment study in the East Los Angeles area, a region populated predominantly by ethnic minorities (predominantly Hispanic). The purpose of this study was to determine if children attending some of these schools are exposed to PM10 at sufficient levels to cause negative respiratory health effects. Results of this study show that students in close proximity to major roadways receive a dose of PM10 at levels approaching 10-15 micrograms per cubic meter, an exposure predicted to cause negative health effects.

III. Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of benomyl and carbendazim. AN - 72077527; 12220588 AB - The known aneuploidogens, benomyl and its metabolite, carbendazim (methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate (MBC)), were selected for the third in a series of ongoing projects with selected pesticides. Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity data submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency's (US EPA's) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) as part of the registration process are examined along with data from the open literature. Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity profiles are developed to provide a complete overview and to determine whether an association can be made between benomyl- and MBC-induced mouse liver tumors and aneuploidy. Since aneuploidogens are considered to indirectly affect DNA, the framework adopted by the Agency for evaluating any mode of action (MOA) for carcinogenesis is applied to the benomyl/MBC data. Both agents displayed consistent, positive results for aneuploidy induction but mostly negative results for gene mutations. Non-linear dose responses were seen both in vitro and in vivo for aneuploidy endpoints. No evidence was found suggesting that an alternative MOA other than aneuploidy may be operative. The data show that by 14 days of benomyl treatment, events associated with liver toxicity appear to set in motion the sequence of actions that leads to neoplasms. Genetic changes (as indicated by spindle impairment leading to missegregation of chromosomes, micronucleus induction and subsequent aneuploidy in bone marrow cells) can commence within 1-24h after dosing, well within the time frame for early key events. Critical steps associated with frank tumor formation in the mouse liver include hepatotoxicity, increased liver weights, cell proliferation, hypertrophy, and other steps involving hepatocellular alteration and eventual progression to neoplasms. The analysis, however, reveals weaknesses in the data base for both agents (i.e. no studies on mouse tubulin binding, no in vivo assays of aneuploidy on the target tissue (liver), and no clear data on cell proliferation relative to dose response and time dependency). The deficiencies in defining the MOA for benomyl/MBC introduce uncertainties into the analysis; consequently, benomyl/MBC induction of aneuploidy cannot be definitively linked to mouse liver carcinogenicity at this time.

AN - 72048532; 12206439 AB - This study evaluates a recent report indicating that androstenedione (4-androsten-3, 17-dione) contributes to the androgenicity of water downstream of a pulp and paper mill discharge on the Fenholloway River (FL, USA). Extraction and concentration of Fenholloway water with C18 solid-phase extraction columns followed by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography resulted in clearly defined fractions with in vitro androgenic activity in CV-1 cells that had been transiently cotransfected with human androgen receptor and reporter gene constructs. However, we were unable to detect androstenedione in the active fractions by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry analyses of deionized and Fenholloway River water samples that had been spiked with androstenedione, then extracted and fractionated, revealed that the androgen was found only in inactive fractions. We conclude that, although androstenedione was present at easily detectable concentrations in the river water (> 100 ng/L), this compound is not associated with androgenic activity of water from the site.

Rates of attenuation were extracted for plumes in California, Florida, North Carolina, New York, and New Jersey. The maximum rate of attenuation of the source was 0.75 per year. The rates of attenuation in the plumes varied from 0.56 to 4.3 per year. In all cases, the rate of attenuation of the plume exceeded the rate of attenuation of the source. As these plumes progress through their life cycle, they should recede back toward their source.

Basin and landscape scale indicators were tested in 1992 and 1993 to determine their ability to discriminate between the influences of grassland dominated and cropland dominated landscapes in the PPR. Paired plots were selected from each of the major regions of the PPR. Among the landscape scale indicators tested, those most capable of distinguishing between the two landscapes were: 1) frequency of drained wetland basins, 2) total length of drainage ditch per plot, 3) amount of exposed soil in the upland subject to erosion, 4) indices of change in area of wetland covered by water, and 5) number of breeding duck pairs. Basin scale indicators including soil phosphorus concentrations and invertebrate taxa richness showed some promise; however, plant species richness was the only statistically significant basin scale indicator distinguishing grassland dominated from cropland dominated landscapes. Although our study found a number of promising candidate indicators, one of our conclusions is that basin scale indicators present a number of implementation problems, including: skill level requirements, site access denials, and recession of site access by landowners. Alternatively, we suggest that the use of landscape indicators based on remote sensing can be an effective means of assessing wetland integrity.

Most probable number (MPN) estimates of alkane and aromatic hydrocarbon degraders showed divergence of the alkane and aromatic degrading populations during the first summer of the experiment. Alkane degraders increased in all plots by 1.5 orders of magnitude and aromatic degraders increased in oiled plots by 3.5 orders of magnitude. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis of biomass and community composition showed no essential differences among treatments. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of the sediment microbial community showed some differences in specific populations of organisms with respect to oiled and unoiled plots. Some organisms were only found in the oiled plots. Sediment toxicity measured against single celled algae showed that the oiled sediments were toxic into the second year of the study, but that nutrient addition relieved the toxicity more rapidly than natural attenuation of the oil.

The research was carried out along the shores of the St. Lawrence River at Ste. Croix, Quebec, Canada. The research determined the effectiveness of fertilizer addition in enhancing the biodegradation rates of residual oil. It further examined the rate at which the stressed ecosystem recovered with and without the addition of inorganic fertilizers and the role of nutrients in enhancing wetland restoration in the absence of healthy wetland plants. Chemical analysis of integrated sediment core samples to the depth of oil penetration within the experimental plots indicated that addition of inorganic nutrients did not enhance the disappearance of alkanes or PAHs. In surface samples, however, hydrocarbon disappearance rates were higher when the metabolic activity of wetland plants was suppressed by the removal of emergent plant growth. These results suggest that oxygen limitation plays a major role in preventing rapid biodegradation of hydrocarbons in anoxic wetland sediment.

These studies generally classify illnesses into two categories according to the subjectivity of the reported symptoms and utilize separate analyses on the incidence of total illness and the incidence of objective symptoms of gastroenteritis. Generally, non-swimmer illness rates are available from these studies as an indicator of the background illness rates, but are not always utilized in the model. Data from two prospective epidemiological studies conducted by the U.S. EPA and evidencing relationships between the incidence of swimming-associated GI and enterococcus or E. coli density in marine and fresh water, respectively, are used as examples. Initially, analysis of these data consisted of the linear regression of log sub(10) enterococcus density on the difference in illness rates between swimmers and non-swimmers. Subsequent published analysis of the marine study utilized logistic regression, but did not take background illness rates into account. Both analyses produced separate models for rates of 'highly credible' and total GI symptoms. The present analysis demonstrates the advantages of including the background rates and how such rates may be incorporated in a logistic regression.

However, mortality was not associated with increased viral load and antibody titers to the virus were not decreased at doses of TCDD <= 10 mu g/kg, suggesting that viral overgrowth, secondary to immunosuppression, was not the proximate cause of death. We tested the hypothesis that mitochondrial toxicity and dysfunction, similar to Reye's syndrome (RS) in humans, is responsible for increased mortality in dioxin- exposed, infected B6C3F1 female mice, based on similarities in the biochemical and immunological events that occur in RS and in TCDD-exposed animals. Endpoints were also included to test the hypothesis that increased pulmonary inflammation following dioxin exposure, in the absence of mitochondrial toxicity, was associated with increased mortality. Dose-related effects of TCDD alone, infection with influenza A alone, and combined TCDD exposure/influenza infection were evaluated. Mice were given a single ip injection of 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, or 1.0 mu g TCDD/kg, 7 days before infection by intranasal instillation of an estimated LD sub(10-20) of influenza A Hong Kong/8/68 (H3N2) and were terminated 1, 7, and 10 days after infection. Serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung tissue were collected for various measurements, including clinical chemistries, cell counts, cytokine analysis, and viral titers. Exposure to <= 1.0 mu g TCDD/kg did not increase mortality; virus titers were similar at all doses of TCDD and there was no dioxin-related effect on serum NH sub(3) or glucose concentrations, two prominent indicators of the altered mitochondrial oxidative metabolism typically observed in RS. A study was therefore conducted over a wider range of TCDD doses. A single injection of 0, 0.025, 0.5, or 10 mu g TCDD/kg preceded infection by 7 days; subgroups of noninfected control and highest dose group (10 mu g TCDD/kg) mice were also evaluated for biochemical and immunological endpoints on the equivalent of infection day 4 to provide baseline data. Five days after infection the same endpoints described above were evaluated. The 10 mu g TCDD/kg dose increased mortality, but once again did not increase virus titer; as in previous experiments, serum biochemistry endpoints did not support mitochondrial dysfunction. These results suggest that RS is an unlikely explanation for increased influenza mortality in TCDD-exposed mice. Rather, constituents in BALF implicate increased pulmonary inflammation as the mode of TCDD action.

The purpose of this study was to develop such a model with the greatest possible specificity for the le rat. The PBPK model consisted of 5 compartments: brain, fat, slowly perfused tissue, rapidly perfused viscera, and liver. Partition coefficients (blood, fat, muscle, brain, liver) were determined for le rats. The volumes of the brain, liver, and fat compartments were estimated for each rat, with tissue-specific regression equations developed from measurements made in le rats. Vapor uptake data from le rats were used for estimation of Vmaxc. As blood flow values for le rats were not available, values from Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Fischer-344 (F344) rats were used in separate simulations. The resulting values of Vmaxc were used to simulate tissue (blood, liver, brain, fat) TCE concentrations, which were measured during (5, 20, 60 min) and after (60 min of TCE followed by 60 min of air) flow-through inhalation exposures of le rats to 200, 2000, or 4000 ppm TCE. Simulation of the experimental data was improved by use of F-344 blood-flow values and the corresponding Vmaxc (8.68 mg/h/kg) compared to use of SD flows and the associated Vmaxc (7.34 mg/h/kg). Sensitivity analysis was used to determine those input parameters with the greatest influence on TCE tissue concentrations. Alveolar ventilation consistently (across exposure concentration, exposure duration, and target tissue) had the greatest impact on TCE tissue concentration. The PBPK model described here is being used to explore the relationship between measures of internal dose of TCE and neurotoxic outcome.

In this pilot study, gene expression changes in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) were compared to those in the uteri of adult rats to identify genes that were altered in both tissues following estradiol treatment. Ovariectomized rats were treated with either 17 beta -estradiol or vehicle control (corn oil) for 3 days. PBL and uterine RNAs were hybridized to arrays containing 1185 genes. One hundred and ninety three genes were expressed in common between the PBL and uterus. Eighteen were changed significantly in both tissues, 9 of which were treatment- but not tissue-specific (e.g., jun-D, phospholipase A2, thymidine kinase). These results demonstrate that many genes are coexpressed between PBL and uterus, and that some are coregulated by estradiol. Given the limited number of genes examined in this study and the estimated size of other mammalian genomes, we conclude that many more genes will also be coregulated and suggest that accessible tissues such as PBL can serve as surrogate tissues for observing gene expression changes in inaccessible target tissues.

Fish were collected at 18 fixed stations with a 61-m x 3.05-m beach seine once per month in July and August from 1988 to 1999. Stations were designated high or low quality depending on the total nitrogen concentration, number of low dissolved oxygen events, extent of human disturbance, abundance of macroalgae, and presence or absence of eelgrass Zostera marina. We used stepwise discriminant analysis on 13 candidate metrics based on fish community data to determine those most important in distinguishing between high and low habitat categories. We then used discriminant analysis and canonical discriminant analysis with the resulting significant metrics. The six metrics that were able to discriminate between sites were the number of estuarine spawner species, proportion of killifish, number of individuals, proportion of flounder, Shannon's diversity index, and proportion of benthic-associated species. Discriminant analysis with these metrics distinguished among sites with an overall error rate of 22%. Surprisingly, when an index was calculated from the metrics, sites designated as low quality based on environmental data had the highest scores whereas high-quality sites had low scores. Degraded sites in the upper estuary may have scored high due to the availability of shallow-water refuge from predation, abundant food, and warmer water with less current. Our results indicate that upper estuaries are important to juvenile fish and are worth protecting despite apparent human impacts. Further, an index of biotic integrity may not be useful in estuaries because of their characteristically harsh environmental conditions, which result in fish communities that are dominated by tolerant species that are habitat and feeding generalists.

Plants exposed to charcoal-filtered air or elevated O sub(3) throughout the study were compared to those exposed only during the vegetative or reproductive stages. Effects of pod development on O sub(3) sensitivity were also examined by removing flowers from a subset of plants. We found that plant developmental stage significantly altered O sub(3) sensitivity. Exposures during vegetative stages caused little foliar injury and had only a small impact on total growth and yield. In contrast, exposures during pod development had a much greater effect on foliar injury, growth and yield. Pod development significantly increased O sub(3) induced foliar injury and O sub(3) impacts on plant growth. We suggest that the greater O sub(3) sensitivity during pod filling and maturation is the consequence of reduced energy levels available for homeostatic repair processes.

Unfortunately, these estimates vary enough within and among salt marshes to require large numbers of replicates if the averages are to be statistically meaningful. Large numbers of replicates are rarely taken, however, because they involve too much labor. Here, we present data on a fast, non-destructive method for measuring aboveground biomass of Spartina alterniflora and Phragmites australis that uses only the average height of the five tallest shoots and the total density of shoots over 10 cm tall. Collecting the data takes only a few minutes per replicate, and calculated values for biomass compare favorably with destructive measurements on harvested samples.

The risk assessment method was compared to traditional methods of establishing air quality monitoring networks: identifying maximum concentration impacts or maximum total population. Results suggest that the health risk method best predicted the location of adverse, non-carcinogenic respiratory illnesses during the evaluation period. Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient, r sub(s), values obtained using the risk assessment method were statistically greater than the values obtained using the concentration and population methods. The concentration method was the least accurate predictor of adverse effects.

Sediments were collected as part of a Regional Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (R-EMAP) study to assess sediment quality in the AOC. The screening method was calibrated using a PAH surrogate standard consisting of eight PAHs commonly found in the St. Louis River system, at their approximate proportions. Estimated PAH concentrations were compared to GC/MS measured 'true' PAH concentrations to evaluate the overall predictive power of the screening method. Regression analysis of log transformed estimated versus true PAH concentration yielded an r super(2) of 0.72 (n = 86). In addition, the rates of false positive and false negative predictions associated with the screening method were determined relative to different sediment effects concentrations (SECs) for total PAHs. In general, the rate of false positive predictions was shown to increase as the SEC criteria value decreased, while false negative rates remained consistently low (below 7%). Methodological recommendations which led to a three-fold reduction in false negatives, and the improved prediction of both high and low PAH samples, are presented.

Methyl tert-butyl ether-contaminated synthetic water and field samples from contaminated sites were used for these studies. Using a TiO sub(2) slurry (0.1 g/L; Degussa P25) flowing down at a rate of up to 0.26 L/min over the inner surface of a glass tube surrounding a 1-kW medium pressure mercury lamp, more than 99% of MTBE in the synthetic samples, initially at 1 mg/L, was degraded within 90 min. The major degradation products from MTBE were tert-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl formate, and small amounts of acetone. However, the degradation of MTBE and its byproducts in contaminated groundwater samples was hindered significantly by dissolved metals such as Fe super(2+), chloride ions, and aromatic organic species. Integrating air stripping with gas-phase photocatalysis is an an effective alternative that would not be affected by the water chemistry. The reaction rates for MTBE degradation in the gas phase are orders of magnitude faster than in aqueous solution.

We identified reference and impaired sites using water chemistry and habitat criteria and evaluated a set of candidate macroinvertebrate metrics using a stepwise process. This process examined several metric characteristics, including ability of metrics to discriminate reference and impaired sites, relative scope of impairment, correlations with chemical and habitat indicators of stream disturbance, redundancy with other metrics, and within-year variability. Metrics that performed well were compared with metrics currently being used by three states in the region: Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Some of the metrics used by these states did not perform well when evaluated using regional data, while other metrics used by all three states in some form, specifically number of taxa, number of EPT taxa, and Hilsenhoff Biotic Index, performed well overall. Reasons for discrepancies between state and regional evaluations of metrics are explored. We also provide a set of metrics that, when used in combination, may provide a useful assessment of stream conditions in the MAHR.

These are high doses of CHP that cause marked cholinergic stimulation. It is important to understand if chronic exposure to CHP would evoke changes in thermoregulation that are comparable to the acute administration. Male rats of the Long-Evans strain were subjected to dietary treatment of 0, 1, or 5 mg/(kg day) CHP for 6 months. A limited amount of food was given per day to maintain body weight at 350 g. The constant body weight allowed for the regulation of a consistent dosage of CHP per kg body weight throughout the feeding period. Core temperature (T sub(a)) and motor activity (MA) were monitored by radio telemetric transmitters implanted in the abdominal cavity. After 5 months of treatment, T sub(c) and MA were monitored in undisturbed animals for 96 h. CHP at 5 mg/(kg day) led to a slight elevation in T sub(c) without affecting MA. The rats were then administered a challenge dose of CHP (30 mg/kg, p.o.) while T sub(c) and MA were monitored. Rats fed the 1 and 5 mg/kg CHP diets showed a significantly greater hypothermic response and reduction in MA following CHP challenge compared to controls. The restricted feeding schedule resulted in marked changes in the pattern of the circadian rhythm. Therefore, in another study, rats were treated ad libitum for 17 days with a CHP diet that resulted in a dosage of 7 mg CHP/(mg day). There was a significant increase in T sub(c) during the daytime but not during the night throughout most of the treatment period. Overall, chronic CHP was associated with a slight but significant elevation in T sub(c) and greater hypothermic response to a CHP challenge. This latter finding was unexpected and suggests that chronic exposure to CHP sensitizes the rat's thermoregulatory response to acute CHP exposure.

Emissions of particulate matter were measured for 23 different types of incense using a cyclone/filter method. Emission rates for PM sub(2.5) (particulate matter less than 2.5 mu m in aerodynamic diameter) ranged from 7 to 202 mg/h, and PM sub(2.5) emission factors ranged from 5 to 56 mg/g of incense burned. Emission rates were also determined using an electrical low pressure impactor (ELPI) and a small electrostatic precipitator (ESP), and emission rates were compared to those determined using the cyclone-filter method. Emission rates determined by the ELPI method were consistently lower than those determined by the cyclone/filter method, and a linear regression correlation was found between emission rates determined by the two methods. Emission rates determined by the ESP method were consistently higher than those determined by the cyclone/filter method, indicating that the ESP may be a more effective method for measuring semivolatile particle emissions. A linear regression correlation was also found between emission rates determined by the ESP and cyclone/filter methods. Particle size distributions were measured with the ELPI, and distributions were found to be similar for most types of incense that were tested. Size distributions by mass typically ranged from approximately 0.06 to 2.5 mu m in aerodynamic diameter, with peak values between 0.26 and 0.65 mu m. Results indicated that burning incense emits fine particulate matter in large quantities compared to other indoor sources. An indoor air quality model showed that indoor concentrations of PM sub(2.5) can far exceed the outdoor concentrations specified by the US EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), so incense smoke can pose a health risk to people due to inhalation exposure of particulate matter. Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and sulfur dioxide (SO sub(2)) were also measured for seven types of incense. Emission rates of the gaseous pollutants were sufficient to cause indoor concentrations, estimated using the indoor air quality model, to exceed the outdoor concentrations specified by the NAAQS under certain conditions. However, the incense samples that were tested would fill a room with thick smoke under these conditions.

Conventional monitoring networks and advanced observational capabilities permit the detection of changes in the environment at continental to global scales (e.g., hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico, aerosol plumes stretching across the ocean, global atmospheric enrichment of carbon dioxide). Much more knowledge is needed, however, to fully understand the societal consequences of environmental change and of actions taken to address them. This paper discusses the emerging role of assessment in developing effective U.S. policy responses to large-scale, complex environmental change while improving the scientific understanding of the problem. In the cases of global climate change and coastal hypoxia, the U.S. Congress passed legislation authorizing assessments recognizing that decision making must proceed in the face of scientific uncertainty. Evaluating the state of knowledge is usually the first step in an assessment in order to provide a picture of what is known and where there are knowledge gaps. Assessments should also provide the policy maker with an idea of the level of uncertainty, how long it may take to reduce the uncertainty, what information is most critical to resolve, and the consequences and benefits of the various management options. In this paper I draw upon several examples from national assessments, including those of climate change impacts on the U.S. and relationships between Mississippi River water and Gulf of Mexico water quality, to illustrate the strengths and difficulties of using science and assessment to inform the policy process.

AN - 72189597; 12383722 AB - This analysis was undertaken to reduce uncertainty in acute inhalation risk assessment for mild acute effects. Applying uncertainty factors (UFs) to the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) is the primary approach used in threshold-based risk assessments. When a NOAEL is unavailable, a UF of 10 is often applied to a lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL) to estimate the NOAEL. We evaluated the LOAEL-to-NOAEL relationship for mild acute inhalation toxicity for 215 data sets for 36 hazardous air pollutants. The LOAEL-to-NOAEL ratios were 2.0, 5.0, 6.3, and 10.0 for the 50th, 90th, 95th, and 99 th percentile, respectively. The 90% confidence interval for the 95th percentile was 5.0-7.5. Consequently, based on previous dose placement practice, the LOAEL-to-NOAEL UF of 6 would be protective for 95% of the responses, and a value of 10 would be protective of 99% of the responses. The ratio values were not associated with the size of the experimental group. There was little variability among species, particularly at the median. This analysis is reflective only of mild acute inhalation toxicity. For other exposure routes, exposure durations, or more severe toxicity, the distributions are likely to be different.

AN - 72080771; 12224742 AB - To quantify the health benefits of environmental policies, economists generally require estimates of the reduced probability of illness or death. For policies that reduce exposure to carcinogenic substances, these estimates traditionally have been obtained through the linear extrapolation of experimental dose-response data to low-exposure scenarios as described in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (1986). In response to evolving scientific knowledge, EPA proposed revisions to the guidelines in 1996. Under the proposed revisions, dose-response relationships would not be estimated for carcinogens thought to exhibit nonlinear modes of action. Such a change in cancer-risk assessment methods and outputs will likely have serious consequences for how benefit-cost analyses of policies aimed at reducing cancer risks are conducted. Any tendency for reduced quantification of effects in environmental risk assessments, such as those contemplated in the revisions to EPA's cancer-risk assessment guidelines, impedes the ability of economic analysts to respond to increasing calls for benefit-cost analysis. This article examines the implications for benefit-cost analysis of carcinogenic exposures of the proposed changes to the 1986 Guidelines and proposes an approach for bounding dose-response relationships when no biologically based models are available. In spite of the more limited quantitative information provided in a carcinogen risk assessment under the proposed revisions to the guidelines, we argue that reasonable bounds on dose-response relationships can be estimated for low-level exposures to nonlinear carcinogens. This approach yields estimates of reduced illness for use in a benefit-cost analysis while incorporating evidence of nonlinearities in the dose-response relationship. As an illustration, the bounding approach is applied to the case of chloroform exposure.

AN - 72023748; 12192899 AB - Many chlorine-containing pesticides, for example 2-chloro-s-triazines, are of great concern both environmentally and toxicologically. As a result, ascertaining or predicting the fate and transport of these compounds in soils and water is of current interest. Transformation pathways for 2-chloro-s-triazines in the environment include dealkylation, dechlorination (hydrolysis), and ring cleavage. This study explored the feasibility of using computational chemistry, specifically the hybrid density functional theory method, B3LYP, to predict hydrolysis trends of atrazine (2-chloro-N4-ethyl-N6-isopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) and related 2-chloro-s-triazines to the corresponding 2-hydroxy-s-triazines. Gas-phase energetics are described on the basis of calculations performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. Calculated free energies of hydrolysis (delta h G298) are nearly the same for simazine (2-chloro-N4,N6-diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine), atrazine, and propazine (2-chloro-N4,N6-di-isopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine), suggesting that hydrolysis is not significantly affected by the side-chain amine-nitrogen alkyl substituents. High-energy barriers also suggest that the reactions are not likely to be observed in the gas phase. Aqueous solvation effects were examined by means of self-consistent reaction field methods (SCRF). Molecular structures were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G* level using the Onsager model, and solvation energies were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level using the isodensity surface polarizable continuum model (IPCM). Although the extent of solvent stabilization was greater for cationic species than neutral ones, the full extent of solvation is underestimated, especially for the transition state structures. As a consequence, the calculated hydrolysis barrier for protonated atrazine is exaggerated compared with the experimentally determined one. Overall, the hydrolysis reactions follow a concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) pathway.

AN - 72022331; 12194418 AB - In response to the recent focus by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on bioassessment of lakes, a multimetric index was developed for New Jersey lakes and reservoirs using benthic macroinvertebrates. Benthic samples were collected from reference and impaired lakes with muck and intermediate sediments in central and northern New Jersey during summer 1997. We used a stepwise process to evaluate properties of candidate metrics and selected five for the Lake Macroinvertebrate Integrity Index (LMII): Hilsenhoff Biotic Index (HBI), percent chironomid individuals, percent collector-gatherer taxa, percent oligochaetes/leeches, and number of Diptera taxa. We scored metrics as the fraction of the best expected value (based on all sites) achieved at a site and summed them into the LMII. Evaluation of the LMII showed that it discriminated well between reference and impaired lakes and was strongly related to several potential stressors. Chemical and physical gradients distinguished between reference and impaired lakes, and the LMII summarized these gradients well. The LMII corresponded strongly with land use, but some lakes with more urban land use still achieved high scores. Based on a power analysis, the ability of the LMII to detect differences in condition was sensitive to the number of samples from each lake.

AN - 71970288; 12152769 AB - Influence of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) on the germination of seeds and growth of seedling plants were studied in laboratory experiments. Test plants were wild oats (Avena sativa), sweet corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Seed germination, shoot growth, and root growth of plants exposed to different concentrations of MTBE in a moist soil were examined. Seed germination and seedling growth in MTBE-contaminated soil were markedly reduced in all test plants. The median lethal concentration values for seed germination tests and the median effective concentration values for shoot or root growth were calculated. The values for lettuce, wild oats, wheat, and sweet corn were in the range of 18 to 91, 362 to 459, 432 to 751, and 672 to 964 mg MTBE/kg soil as dry weight, respectively. Lettuce was most sensitive to MTBE, followed (in order of decreasing sensitivity) by wild oats, wheat, and sweet corn. Because MTBE can be readily absorbed by plants due to its high solubility in water, plant growth was a more sensitive endpoint than seed germination. Shoot length was more reduced in MTBE-contaminated soil than was the root length, which indicated that MTBE might be transported within the plant from the roots to the shoots.

AN - 71890108; 12105768 AB - We describe the development of a bird integrity index (BII) that uses bird assemblage information to assess human impacts on 13 stream reaches in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA. We used bird survey data to test 62 candidate metrics representing aspects of bird taxonomic richness, tolerance or intolerance to human disturbance, dietary preferences, foraging techniques, and nesting strategies that were affected positively or negatively by human activities. We evaluated the metric responsiveness by plotting each one against a measure of site disturbance that included aspects of land use/land cover, road density, riparian cover, and stream channel and substrate conditions. In addition, we eliminated imprecise and highly correlated (redundant) metrics, leaving 13 metrics for the final index. Individual metric scores ranged continuously from 0 to 10, and index scores were weighted to range from 0 to 100. Scores were calibrated using historical species information to set expectations for the number of species expected under minimally disturbed conditions. Site scores varied from 82 for the least disturbed stream reach to 8.5 for an urban site. We compared the bird integrity index site scores with the performance of other measures of biotic response developed during this study: a fish index of biointegrity (IBI) and two benthic macroinvertebrate metrics. The three assemblages agreed on the general level of disturbance; however, individual sites scored differently depending on specific indicator response to in-stream or riparian conditions. The bird integrity index appears to be a useful management and monitoring tool for assessing riparian integrity and communicating the results to the public. Used together with aquatic indicator response and watershed data, bird assemblage information contributes to a more complete picture of stream condition.

Symptoms of eutrophication include periods of hypoxia and anoxia in bottom waters, death of benthic-dwelling organisms during anoxia, long-term reductions in the depth distribution of macrophyte communities, changes in the species composition of macrophyte communities, and increases in reports of harmful algal blooms. In 1987 the Action Plan on the Aquatic Environment was adopted to combat nutrient pollution of the aquatic environment with the overall goal of reducing nitrogen loads by 50% and point source phosphorus loads by 80%. The Danish Aquatic Nationwide Monitoring Program was begun in 1988 in order to describe the status of point sources (industry, sewage treatment plants, stormwater outfalls, scattered dwellings, and fish farms), ground water, springs, agricultural watersheds, streams, lakes, atmospheric deposition, and the marine environment. Another important aspect of the program was to document the effects on the aquatic environment of the measures and investments taken for nutrient reduction as outlined in the Action Plan. The monitoring program should determine if reductions in nutrients are achieved by the measures taken and should help decision makers choose appropriate additional measures to fulfill the objectives. Coordination with international programs and commissions is an important component of the monitoring program to meet internationally agreed upon reductions in nutrient inputs. The future and direction of the Danish National Aquatic Monitoring and Assessment Program will be to a large extent shaped by both the Water Framework Directive and Habitat Directive adopted by the European Union.

Toxicity tests used in this assessment included 10-day sediment exposures with the amphipod Hyalella azteca, 31-day sediment exposures with the oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus, and the Microtox(Registered trademark) Solid-Phase Sediment Toxicity Test. A total of 30 sampling stations were selected in locations that had limited historic matching toxicity and chemistry data. Toxic effects on amphipod survival were observed in 60% of the samples from the assessment area. Results of a toxicity test with oligochaetes indicated that sediments from the assessment area were too toxic to be used in proposed bioaccumulation testing. Measurement of amphipod length after the 10-day exposures did not provide useful information beyond that provided by the survival endpoint. Seven of the 15 samples that were identified as toxic in the amphipod tests were not identified as toxic in the Microtox test, indicating that the 10-day H. azteca test was more sensitive than the Microtox test. Samples that were toxic tended to have the highest concentrations of metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The toxic samples often had an excess of simultaneously extracted metals (SEM) relative to acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and had multiple exceedances of probable effect concentrations (PECs). Metals may have contributed to the toxicity of samples that had both an excess molar concentration of SEM relative to AVS and elevated concentrations of metals in pore water. However, of the samples that had an excess of SEM relative to AVS, only 38% of these samples had elevated concentration of metals in pore water. The lack of correspondence between SEM-AVS and pore water metals indicates that there are variables in addition to AVS controlling the concentrations of metals in pore water. A mean PEC quotient of 3.4 (based on concentrations of metals, PAHs, and PCBs) was exceeded in 33% of the sediment samples and a mean quotient of 0.63 was exceeded in 70% of the thirty sediment samples from the assessment area. A 50% incidence of toxicity has been previously reported in a database for sediment tests with H. azteca at a mean quotient of 3.4 in 10-day exposures and at a mean quotient of 0.63 in 28-day exposures. Among the Indiana Harbor samples, most of the samples with a mean PEC quotient above 0.63 (i.e., 15 of 21; 71%) and above 3.4 (i.e., 10 of 10; 100%) were toxic to amphipods. Results of this study and previous studies demonstrate that sediments from this assessment area are among the most contaminated and toxic that have ever been reported.

The CRG approach is a statistical approach to meet site cleanup goals based on the arithmetic mean of the contaminant concentration distribution. The CRG approach involves computing a threshold value c (super *) (called the CRG value) from observed sample values in cases where the data distribution is log-normal and the UCL of the population mean calculated for the sample exceeds the Cleanup Goal (CUG). The cleanup would then consist of removing all soils from the site with observed concentrations higher than the CRG value c (super *) . At the METCOA site, the cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) concentrations passed the test of log-normality, and the UCL of the means exceeded their respective CUG values. The CRG values were then computed for observed Cd and Ni concentrations. In both cases, the CRG values turned out to be much higher than the respective observed maximum concentration. Based on these CRG values, it would appear that no cleanup would be needed at the METCOA site. A Monte Carlo simulation experiment was conducted by two of the authors of this article to investigate the performance of the CRG approach. The simulation experiments showed that the CRG approach had a rather high percentage of false negatives, i.e. it recommended no cleanup a large number of times when the simulation was performed for contaminated site conditions. The present article investigates the performance of the CRG approach for normal, uniform and exponential distributions, in addition to the log-normal distribution. The CRG approach gives reasonable results for all models considered in this article, except for the log-normal model, suggesting the inadequacy of the log-normal distribution for modeling skewed environmental data.

Spatial integrals or time derivatives of this function as well as time derivatives of spatial integrals will quantify characteristics such as the total volume of the plume, the total concentration of the contaminant in the plume, rates of change of the volume, and rates of change of concentration. The plume function usually cannot be derived in analytic form but instead must be estimated or approximated. The dual form of the kriging estimator, which is equivalent to the use of radial basis functions, provides a tool for modeling this function in analytic form. The extension of the kriging estimator, in its usual form or in its dual form, to space-time poses no problems since the estimator and the equations are essentially dimension free. The difficulty is an adequate choice of space-time variograms or covariances. The product-sum and integrated product-sum models provide an extensive array of valid models and also lead to a simple process for fitting the models by the use of marginal variograms. Examples are given and an application to air pollution data from the Milan District (Italy) illustrates the method. JF - Environmetrics AU - Myers, D E A2 - Nocerino, John A2 - Singh, A. K.

For many situations, predicting pesticide volatilization has been limited to simple situations that often neglect important environmental conditions such as changes in ambient temperature and/or the effect of micrometeorological conditions. Recent research has shown that changes in ambient temperature can strongly affect methyl bromide (MeBr) volatilization under field conditions. Little research has been conducted that couples atmospheric processes to the volatilization of pesticides from soils. A field study was conducted to measure the volatilization of methyl bromide from a 3.5 ha field. Four methods were used to obtain the volatilization rate as a function of time. A one-dimensional numerical model was developed and used to simulate the fate and transport of methyl bromide from the fumigated field. The numerical simulation simultaneously solves water, heat, and solute transport equations including chemical transport in the vapor phase. Three volatilization boundary conditions were used to assess their accuracy in predicting the volatilization rates. The first two boundary conditions follow stagnant boundary layer theory and use no atmospheric information. For these boundary conditions, one assumes isothermal conditions and the other assumes temperature-dependent conditions. The third boundary condition couples soil and atmospheric processes and was found to provide an accurate and credible simulation of the instantaneous volatilization rates compared to a stagnant boundary layer condition. For some information such as cumulative emissions, the simulations for each boundary condition provided similar results. This indicates that simplified methods may be appropriate for obtaining certain information.

Data from two monitored ground-water plumes were used to test the algorithm. The primary objective was to determine the degree to which sampling, laboratory analysis, and/or well construction resources could be pared without losing key statistical information concerning the plumes. Optimization of an LTM network requires an accurate assessment of both ground-water quality over time and trends or other changes in individual monitoring wells. Changes in interpolated concentration maps over time indicate whether ground-water quality has improved or declined. GTS separately identifies temporal and spatial redundancies. Temporal redundancy may be reduced by lengthening the time between sample collection. Spatial redundancy may be reduced by removing wells from the network which do not significantly impact assessment of ground-water quality. Part of the temporal algorithm in GTS involves computation of a composite temporal variogram to determine the least redundant overall sampling interval. Under this measure of autocorrelation between sampling events, the lag time at which the variogram reaches a sill is the sampling interval at which same-well measurements lack correlation and are therefore non-redundant. The spatial algorithm assumes that well locations are redundant if nearby wells offer nearly the same statistical information about the underlying plume. A well was considered redundant if its removal did not significantly change: (i) an interpolated map of the plume; (ii) the local kriging variances in that section of the plume; and (iii) the average global kriging variance. To identify well redundancy, local kriging weights were accumulated into global weights and used to gauge each well's relative contribution to the interpolated plume map. By temporarily removing that subset of wells with the lowest global kriging weights and re-mapping the plume, it was possible to determine how many wells could be removed without losing critical information. Test results from the Massachusetts Military Reserve (MMR) indicated that substantial savings in sampling, analysis and operational costs could be realized by utilizing GTS.

Point kriging uses an estimated variogram to compute the best linear unbiased estimates (BLUE) of contaminant concentration at an unsampled location. When the contaminant concentration data is heavily skewed, the data are typically log-transformed and kriging is performed on the transformed data. The results obtained from kriging the log-transformed data are then back-transformed. This back-transformation formula involves not only the estimated log-transformed values but also their kriging standard deviations (KSD). This method of kriging, referred to in the geostatistical literature as log-normal kriging, was initially used to characterize the East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC) Superfund site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The back-transformed values for the EFPC site produced estimates of mercury contamination that were orders of magnitude higher than the maximum observed mercury concentration at the site. The method of rank variogram modeling/rank kriging was developed by the authors to estimate mercury contamination at the EFPC site. We present the method of rank variogram modeling/rank kriging, illustrate it with an example, and briefly describe the kriging results obtained for the EFPC site. The log-normal probability model is routinely applied in statistical analysis of contaminant concentration data as well. The upper confidence limit (UCL) for log-normally distributed data is typically calculated by using the H-statistics based formula. The UCL of the mean at times turns out to be orders of magnitude higher than the maximum observed contaminant concentration. An example is presented to illustrate this unreasonable behavior of the H-UCL formula. JF - Environmetrics AU - Singh, Ashok K AU - Ananda, M M A A2 - Nocerino, John A2 - Singh, A. K.

Quantitative data on rangeland health indicators have also been useful to identify state-transition thresholds which are essential for effective ecosystem management. In more recent studies, we have been investigating the potential for using quantitative bioindicators of plant function to predict the potential long-term effects of catastrophic stressors. The case-study here is of coastal mangroves (Avicennia marina) smeared with oil from a marine oil-spill. Early understanding of the potential long-term effects should allow more informed decision-making on how best to preserve or remediate affected systems.

The suggested improvement utilizes the information found in replicated samples in order to obtain more precise estimates of the pollution. Simultaneously, the uncertainties of the pollution estimates are quantified. This is obtained by making pseudo samples by randomly permuting the counts of the species observed within a group of replicates. The pseudo samples are representative for the variation at the sampling site since the permutations are both species specific and restricted to replicates within the sampling site. The pollution is quantified by a modeling approach. Sediment samples are collected in an area surrounding a contamination source, e.g. an oil rig. The non-polluted samples are used to build a linear model of the natural variation in the survey area. The remaining samples are projected onto the calculated model. Then, the distance from the projection to the sample gives an estimate of the pollution in the current sample. The last part of the work is devoted to investigate the robustness of the suggested improvements to pollution quantification from benthic count data. This is done by means of perturbations, and it appears that the modifications give both reliable and robust results.

This article presents an indicator kriging-based approach to account for measurement errors in the modeling of uncertainty prevailing at unsampled locations. Probability field simulation is then used to assess the probability that the average pollutant concentration within remediation units exceeds a regulatory threshold, and probability maps are used to identify hazardous units that need to be remediated. This approach is applied to two types of dioxin data (composite and single spoon samples) with different measurement errors which were collected at the Piazza Road dioxin site, an EPA Superfund site located in Missouri. A validation study shows that the proportion of contaminated soil cores provides a reasonable probability threshold to identify hazardous remediation units. When a lower probability threshold is chosen, the total remediation costs are unreasonably high while false negatives are unacceptably frequent for a higher probability threshold. The choice of this threshold becomes critical as the sampling density decreases. JF - Environmetrics AU - Saito, Hirotaka AU - Goovaerts, Pierre A2 - Nocerino, John A2 - Singh, A. K.

U.S. EPA guidance documents recommend the use of H-statistics to compute the upper confidence limit (UCL) of the mean of a log-normal distribution. Recent work reported in the statistical literature has shown that the UCL calculated from the H-statistics can yield extremely high false positives. In the present article we compute the Bayesian highest posterior density (HPD) credible set of the log-normal mean. Simulated results using techniques of computational geometry are presented. Several experimental results on environmental data sets reveal that the UCL obtained by using the proposed Bayesian approach is more reasonable than those obtained by using other techniques.

Statistical procedures for such datasets must be sufficiently robust to deal with distributions that are strongly non-normal, containing both a large proportion of outliers and a skewed main body of data. In the field of water quality, skewness is commonly associated with large variation over short distances. Spatial analysis of such data generally requires either considerable effort at modeling or the use of robust procedures not strongly affected by skewness and local variability. Using a skewed dataset of 675 nitrate measurements in ground water, commonly used methods for defining a surface (least-squares regression and kriging) are compared to a more robust method (loess). Three choices are critical in defining a surface: (i) is the surface to be a central mean or median surface? (ii) is either a well-fitting transformation or a robust and scale-independent measure of center used? (iii) does local spatial autocorrelation assist in or detract from addressing objectives?

The spilled hydrocarbons pose environmental threats by contaminating the surrounding soil and the underlying ground water. Predicting the fate and transport of these chemicals is required for environmental risk assessment and for remedial measure design. The present paper discusses the formulation and application of the Oil Surface Flow Screening Model (OILSFSM) for predicting the surface flow of oil by taking into account infiltration and evaporation. Surface flow is simulated using a semi-analytical model based on the lubrication theory approximation of viscous flow. Infiltration is simulated using a version of the Green and Ampt infiltration model, which is modified to account for oil properties. Evaporation of volatile compounds is simulated using a compositional model that accounts for the changes in the fraction of each compound in the spilled oil. The coupling between surface flow, infiltration and evaporation is achieved by incorporating the infiltration and evaporation fluxes into the global continuity equation of the spilled oil. The model was verified against numerical models for infiltration and analytical models for surface flow. The verification study demonstrates the applicability of the model.

Runoff was significantly greater to replicate wetlands within tilled basins with or without vegetated buffer strips as compared to Conservation Reserve Program restoration controls with revegetated uplands (REST). However, mean water levels for native prairie reference sites were higher than for REST controls, because infiltration rates were lower for native prairie basins, which had no prior history of tillage. Nutrient dynamics changed more in response to changes in water level and vegetation structure than to increased nutrient inputs in watershed runoff. Dissolved oxygen increased between dry and wet years except in basins or zones with dense vegetation. As sediment redox dropped, water-column phosphate declined as phosphate likely co-precipitated with iron on the sediment surface within open-water or sparsely vegetated zones. In response, N:P ratios shifted from a region indicating N limitation to P limitation. REST sites, with dense vegetation and low DO, also maintained high DOC, which maintains phosphate in solution through chelation of iron and catalysis of photoreduction. Reference sites in native prairie and restored uplands diverged over the course of the wet-dry cycle, emphasizing the importance of considering climatic variation in planning restoration efforts.

However, the testing of antimicrobial efficacy on porous surfaces, such as those found in the indoor environment (i.e., gypsum board, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning duct-liner insulation, and wood products) can be more complicated and prone to incorrect conclusions regarding residual organisms and non-viable allergens. Research to control biological growth using three separate antimicrobial encapsulants on contaminated duct-liner insulation has been performed in both field and laboratory testing. The results indicate differences in antimicrobial efficacy for the period of testing.

To determine probable water locations around the DE for later use in the study of DE protonation, molecular dynamics simulations using the OPLS force field were carried out on diol epoxides surrounded by a 22 AA box of explicit water molecules. Results for 30 ps simulations indicate that 10-60% of the time, depending strongly on the conformation and type of the DE, there is a water molecule forming a hydrogen bond with the epoxide oxygen. The patterns seen in the frequency at which a DE binds a water molecule reflect patterns seen in the relationship between the type of PAH DE and amount of DNA adduct formation. Examination of the orientations and arrangements of the water and DEs during the simulations showed that the bound waters existed in several preferred configurations which are also dependent upon the PAH DE geometry.

PBDEs have been detected in human blood, adipose tissue, and breast milk, and developmental and long-term exposure to these contaminants may pose a human health risk, especially to children. Previously, we demonstrated that PCBs, which cause neurotoxic effects, including changes in learning and memory, stimulated the release of [ super(3)H]arachidonic acid ([ super(3)H]AA) by a cPLA sub(2)/iPLA sub(2)-dependent mechanism. PLA sub(2)(phospholipase A sub(2)) activity has been associated with learning and memory, and AA has been identified as a second messenger involved in synaptic plasticity. The objective of the present study was to test whether PBDE mixtures (DE-71 and DE-79), like other organohalogen mixtures, have a similar action on [ super(3)H]AA release in an in vitro neuronal culture model. Cerebellar granule cells at 7 days in culture were labeled with [ super(3)H]AA for 16-20 h and then exposed in vitro to PBDEs. DE-71, a mostly pentabromodiphenyl ether mixture, significantly stimulated [ super(3)H]AA release at concentrations as low as 10 mu g/ml, while DE-79, a mostly octabromodiphenyl ether mixture, did not stimulate [ super(3)H]AA release, even at 50 mu g/ml. The release of [ super(3)H]AA by DE-71 is time-dependent, and a significant increase was seen after only 5-10 min of exposure. The removal and chelation of calcium from the exposure buffer, using 0.3 mM EGTA, significantly attenuated the DE-71- stimulated [ super(3)H]AA release; however, only an 18% inhibition of the release was demonstrated for the calcium replete conditions at 30 mu g/ml DE-71. Methyl arachidonylfluorophosphonate (5 mu M), an inhibitor of cPLA sub(2)/iPLA sub(2), completely attenuated the DE-71-stimulated [ super(3)H]AA release. Further studies focused on comparing the effects of DE-71 with PCB mixtures such as Aroclors 1016 and 1254. Both PCB mixtures stimulated [ super(3)H]AA release in a concentration-dependent manner; however, the effect for PCBs was about two times greater than that of the PBDEs on a weight basis, but was comparable on a molar basis. These results indicate that PBDEs stimulated the release of [ super(3)H]AA by activating PLA sub(2), which is similar to the effect of other organohalogen mixtures.

The amount of food provided significantly (p<0.05) affected the density at which the cladocerans produced fewer neonates. Cladocerans maintained at 1000 ind l super(-1) produced significantly (p<0.05) fewer neonates than those at 100 or 200 ind l super(-1) when fed abundant food, while cladocerans fed limited food showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) reduction in fecundity at 500 ind l super(-1) compared to those at 100 or 200 ind l super(-1). There was a general trend towards decreased age at sexual maturity with increased cladoceran density, and a significant (p<0.05) decrease in the age at sexual maturity for cladocerans maintained at 3000 ind l super(-1) was observed in some experiments. Sexual reproduction, as indicated by the presence of resting eggs, was observed in animals maintained at 2000 and 3000 ind l super(-1) and fed limited food. This indicated that, for the range of densities and food concentrations tested, a combination of crowding and limited food was required to induce sexual reproduction. Increasing the food concentration while maintaining a constant cladoceran density lead to significantly (p<0.05) increased reproduction, and no significant (p<0.05) effect on the age at sexual maturity. This indicated that the effects observed in crowded animals were not the result of negative effects due to the increased food concentrations, but were an adaptive response to crowding.

Presumably, use of physical habitat models indicating habitat suitability or quality would be improved and enhanced by the extensive amount of research that has been conducted for these species. However, current knowledge of small mammal habitat associations is based mostly upon site specific empirical observation, not the quantitative data that are the foundation of habitat modeling. Small mammal data are affected by technique-related capture variability. Existing data do not demonstrate that fine spatial and temporal variability associated with technique substantially affects habitat models. Small mammal abundance also exhibits ecologically important high spatial and temporal variability. Microhabitat spatial variability is a poor predictor of trap use compared to larger spatial scale phenomena in mesic and xeric biomes. Habitat suitability has been modeled with accuracy ranging between 80 and 93% for 14 species. This accuracy is achieved by filtering out stochastic temporal variability that was not related to physical habitat indicators. Inclusion of stochastic temporal variability degrades model performance, especially in ecosystems where predictive vegetation and substrate variables are essentially constant. Development of indicator mathematical models can be facilitated when a species' ecology is carefully considered and where mathematics and biology are equally incorporated when conceiving and developing indicators.

We tested this assumption by developing three carbon budgets to examine the contribution of autotrophic components to the total ecosystem net primary production (TENPP) of Lower Laguna Madre, Texas. The first budget coupled average photosynthetic parameters with average daily irradiance to calculate daily production. The second budget used average photosynthetic parameters and hourly in situ irradiance to estimate productivity. The third budget integrated temperature-adjusted photosynthetic parameters (using Q sub(10) = 2) and hourly in situ irradiance to estimate productivity. For each budget TENPP was calculated by integrating production from each autotroph based on the producers' areal distribution within the entire Lower Laguna Madre. All budgets indicated that macroalgae account for 33-42% of TENPP and seagrasses consistently accounted for about 33-38%. The contribution by phytoplankton was consistently about 15-20%, and the contribution from the benthic microalgae varied between 8% and 36% of TENPP, although this may have been underestimated due to our exclusion of the within bed microphytobenthos component. The water column over the seagrass beds was net heterotrophic and consequently was a carbon sink consuming between 5% and 22% of TENPP. TENPP ranged between 5.41 x 10 super(10) and 2.53 x 10 super(11) g C yr super(-1), depending on which budget was used. The simplest, most idealized budget predicted the highest TENPP, while the more realistic budgets predicted lower values. Annual production rates estimated using the third budget for Halodule wrightii and Thalassia testudinum compare well with field data. Macroalgae and microalgae contribute 50-60% of TENPP, and seagrass may be more important as three-dimensional habitat (i.e., structure) than as a source of organic carbon to the water column in Lower Laguna Madre.

A recent survey conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that $138 billion will be needed to maintain and replace existing drinking water systems over the next 20 years. It is estimated that $77 billion of this expenditure will be dedicated to repairing and rehabilitating pipelines. Given the cost and disruption caused by replacing distribution system pipe using conventional open trench technology, utilities are beginning to increase the application of rehabilitation or trenchless replacement technologies to extend the life of existing pipes. This paper discusses the various types of technologies that can be used for rehabilitation and repair of drinking water distribution components. It also presents representative costs that can be used by utility managers to estimate order-of-magnitude budgetary costs for rehabilitation and replacement of distribution system components.

They are thermally unstable and decompose under commonly used injection port temperatures (200-250 degree C) during gas chromatography (GC) or GC/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. The major decomposition products are haloforms (such as bromoform), which result from the abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the solvent by thermally generated trihalomethyl radicals. A number of other products formed by radical reactions with the solvent and other radicals were also detected. The trihalonitromethanes also decompose in the hot GC/MS transfer line, and the mass spectra obtained are mixed spectra of the undecomposed parent compound and decomposition products. This can complicate the identification of these compounds by GC/MS. Trihalomethyl compounds that do not have a nitro group, such as tribromoacetonitrile, carbon tetrabromide, methyl tribromoacetate, and tribromoacetaldehyde, do not decompose or only slightly decompose in the GC injection port and GC/MS transfer line. The brominated trihalomethyl compounds studied also showed H/Br exchange by some of their fragment ions. This H/Br exchange also makes the identification of these compounds in drinking water more difficult. The extent of H/Br exchange was found to depend on the mass spectrometer ion source temperature, and it is proposed that the internal surface of the ion source is involved in this process.

Arsenic, which is found in several different chemical forms and oxidation states, causes acute and chronic adverse health effects, including cancer. The metabolism of arsenic has an important role in its toxicity. The metabolism involves reduction to a trivalent state and oxidative methylation to a pentavalent state. The trivalent arsenicals, including those methylated, have more potent toxic properties than the pentavalent arsenicals. The exact mechanism of the action of arsenic is not known, but several hypotheses have been proposed. At a biochemical level, inorganic arsenic in the pentavalent state may replace phosphate in several reactions. In the trivalent state, inorganic and organic (methylated) arsenic may react with critical thiols in proteins and inhibit their activity. Regarding cancer, potential mechanisms include genotoxicity, altered DNA methylation, oxidative stress, altered cell proliferation, co-carcinogenesis, and tumor promotion. A better understanding of the mechanism(s) of action of arsenic will make a more confident determination of the risks associated with exposure to this chemical.

With ascorbic acid the rate of iron release from HLF by DMA(V) was intermediate (3.37 nM/min, P < 0.05) and by DMA(III) was much higher (16.3 nM/min, P < 0.001). No pBR322 plasmid DNA damage was observed from in vitro exposure to arsenate (iAs(V)), arsenite (iAs(III)), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA(V)), monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)) or DMA(V) alone. DNA damage was observed following DMA(III) exposure; coexposure to DMA(III) and HLF caused more DNA damage; considerably higher amounts of DNA damage was caused by coexposure of DMA(III), HLF and ascorbic acid. Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (an iron chelator), significantly inhibited DNA damage. Addition of catalase (which can increase Fe super(2+) concentrations) further increased the plasmid DNA damage. Iron-dependent DNA damage could be a mechanism of action of human arsenic carcinogenesis.

Pulses of small-sized Noctiluca cells during the diatoms blooms were indicative of this population growth. The delta super(15)N isotopic similarity of the red tide cells collected from spatially and temporally distant water masses suggests that the prey of Noctiluca were derived from a single nutrient source, most likely uplifted slope water. This study shows that the predominant underlying mechanism regulating population growth of Noctiluca along the southeast coast of Australia is the uplifting of nutrient-rich slope water. The uplifting events stimulate phytoplankton blooms which in turn stimulate Noctiluca blooms.

I. Dose-dependent induction of hindlimb malformations in the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens). AN - 71957274; 12144258 AB - A number of environmental stressors have been hypothesized as responsible for recent increases in limb malformations in several species of North American amphibians. The purpose of this study was to generate dose-response data suitable for assessing the potential role of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation in causing limb malformations in a species in which this phenomenon seemingly is particularly prevalent, the northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens). Frogs were exposed from early embryonic stages through complete metamorphosis to varying natural sunlight regimes, including unaltered (100%) sunlight, sunlight subjected to neutral density filtration to achieve relative intensities of 85%, 75%, 65%, 50%, and 25% of unaltered sunlight, and sunlight filtered with glass or acrylamide to attenuate, respectively, the UVB (290-320 nm) and UVB plus UVA (290-380 nm) portions of the spectrum. The experiments were conducted in a controlled setting, with continual monitoring of UVB, UVA, and visible light to support a robust exposure assessment. Full sunlight caused approximately 50% mortality of the frogs during early larval development; no significant treatment-related mortality occurred under any of the other exposure regimes, including 100% sunlight with glass or acrylamide filtration. There was a dose-dependent (p < 0.0001) induction of hindlimb malformations in the frogs, with the percentage of affected animals ranging from about 97% under unaltered sunlight to 0% in the 25% neutral density treatment. Malformations were comprised mostly of missing or truncated digits, and generally were bilateral as well as symmetrical. Filtration of sunlight with either glass or acrylamide both significantly reduced the incidence of malformed limbs. The estimated sunlight dose resulting in a 50% limb malformation rate (ED50) was 63.5%. The limb ED50 values based on measured sunlight intensities corresponded to average daily doses of 4.5 and 100 Wh x m(-2) for UVB and UVA, respectively. Exposure to sunlight also resulted in increased eye malformations in R. pipiens, however, the dose-response relationship for this endpoint was not monotonic. The results of this study, in conjunction with measured or predicted exposure data from natural settings, provide a basis for quantitative prediction of the risk of solar UV radiation to amphibians.

III. Prediction of impacts in selected northern midwestern wetlands. AN - 71955387; 12144260 AB - Solar ultraviolet radiation, especially UVB (280-320 nm), has been hypothesized to be at least partially responsible for adverse effects (e.g., declines and malformations) in amphibian species throughout the world. Evaluation of this hypothesis has been limited by the paucity of high-quality UV dose-response data and reliable estimates of typical UV doses that occur in amphibian habitats. In this preliminary risk assessment for effects of UV radiation on amphibians, dose-response relationships quantified in outdoor experiments were compared with UV exposure estimates for 26 wetlands in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. A comparison of wetland doses, derived from model prediction, historical data, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) characterization, with experimental effects levels for green (R. clamitans), northern leopard (R. pipiens), and mink (R. septentrionalis) frogs indicated that the risk of mortality and malformations due to UV exposure is low for the majority of wetlands evaluated. Wetland UV dose, averaged over the entire breeding season, exceeded effects doses for mortality for all three species in two of the 26 wetlands examined and for one species in an additional wetland. On the basis of evidence that shorter term doses caused mortality in amphibian larvae, 3-day doses were also evaluated. In three of the wetlands examined, 3-day doses in excess of 85% of full sunlight (the level that appeared to trigger effects in controlled experimentation) occurred at frequencies ranging 22-100% for all three species and at frequencies ranging from 15% to 58% for R. pipiens and R. septentrionalis in three additional wetlands. Risk of malformation in R. pipiens was apparent in five of the 26 wetlands evaluated. Overall, estimated UVB doses in 21 of the wetlands never exceeded experimental effects doses for mortality or malformations. These results suggest that most amphibians are not currently at significant risk for UVB effects in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin wetlands. However, continued reduction of ozone and other global climate change effects may increase UV doses in wetlands, suggesting that the risk of UV to amphibians should continue to be monitored and studied.

AN - 71950125; 12144283 AB - This work characterized emission factors of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs) from on-road sampling of three heavy duty diesel vehicles (HDDVs) under experimental conditions of city and highway driving; idling operation; high (>400 ppm) and low (<5 ppm) sulfur (S) fuels; and high mileage and rebuilt engine testing. Emission factors, homologue profiles, and isomer patterns were compared to determine whether the experimental conditions had an impact on PCDD/F emissions, or whether these conditions were uninfluential in determining a fleet-representative emission factor. For a single HDDV tested under conditions of a high mileage engine, a newly rebuilt engine, and the newly rebuilt engine with low S diesel fuel, emission factors were 0.023 (+/- 0.022), 0.008 (+/- 0.002), and 0.016 (+/- 0.013) ng toxic equivalency (TEQ)/km, respectively. These results may infer some limited condition-specific differences in PCDD/F emissions, but these differences do not appear to have a significant effect on the HDDV emission factor. An older HDDV with mechanical fuel controls resulted in a single test value of 0.164 ng TEQ/km, significantly higher than all other results. Observed differences in emission factors, homologue profiles, and TEQ-related isomer patterns from this on-vehicle sampling and others' tunnel sampling suggest limitations in our present characterization of fleet PCDD/F emissions.

II. In situ characterzation of exposure in amphibian habitats. AN - 71950104; 12144259 AB - Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation has been hypothesized as a potential cause of amphibian population declines and increased incidence of malformations. Realistic studies documenting UV irradiance or dose have rarely been conducted in wetlands used by amphibians. Our data indicates that 99% of UVB is attenuated in the top 5-20 cm of wetlands in our study region (northern Minnesota and Wisconsin). Furthermore, vegetation and other habitat features have substantial impacts on local UVB irradiance levels and dose. UVB attenuation in the water columns of our wetlands is controlled by the specific absorption of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and consequently, UVB attenuation is best predicted by simple laboratory absorbance measurements such as bulk water color (absorbance at 440 nm) or wavelength-specific absorbance coefficients. Seasonal data indicate thatthe UVB absorption by early and mid-season DOC is higher than that of late summer and fall DOC, suggesting increased protection from UVB during the potentially sensitive stages of amphibian development. In addition to dissolved components, our model indicates that suspended solids play a small role in UVB attenuation in our wetlands but apparently only at high concentrations. Models predicting UV attenuation in wetlands should be used cautiously and should consider temporal variability, given the volatility and dynamic nature of water column characteristics in wetlands. Organism behavior is a critical but poorly understood phenomenon that must be addressed for development of an accurate UV exposure risk model for amphibians.

AN - 71942028; 12139348 AB - Continuous monitors were employed for 18 months in an occupied townhouse to measure ultrafine, fine, and coarse particles; air change rates; wind speed and direction; temperature; and relative humidity (RH). A main objective was to document short-term and long-term variation in indoor air concentrations of size-resolved particles (0.01-20 microm) caused by (1) diumal and seasonal variation of outdoor air concentrations and meteorological variables, (2) indoor sources such as cooking and using candles, and (3) activities affecting air change rates such as opening windows and using fans. A second objective was to test and compare available instruments for their suitability in providing real-time estimates of particle levels and ancillary variables. Despite different measuring principles, the instruments employed in this study agreed reasonably well for particles less than 10 microm in diameter. The three instruments measuring fine and coarse particles (aerodynamic diameter between 0.3 and 20 microm) agreed to within 30% in their overall estimates of total volume. Two of these instruments employed optical scattering, and the third used an aerodynamic acceleration principle. However, several lines of evidence indicated that the instrument employing aerodynamic acceleration overestimated concentrations for particle diameters greater than 10 microm. A fourth instrument measuring ultrafine and accumulation-mode particles (0.01-1 microm) was operated with two different inlets providing somewhat different particle size ranges. The two inlets agreed in the ultrafine region ( 0.8 air changes per hour (hr(-1))], particle concentrations were either elevated (when no source was present) or depressed (when an indoor source was operating) by factors of up to 2 compared with low air change rates.

AN - 71941022; 12144275 AB - Short-term monitoring of individual particulate matter (PM) exposures on subjects and inside residences in health effect studies have been sparse due to the lack of adequate monitoring devices. The recent development of small and portable light scattering devices, including the Radiance nephelometer (neph) and the personal DataRAM (pDR) has made this monitoring possible. This paper evaluates the performance of both the passive pDR and neph (without any size fractionation inlet) against measurements from both Harvard impactors (HI2.5) and Harvard personal environmental monitors (HPEM2.5) for PM2.5 in indoor, outdoor, and personal settings. These measurements were taken at the residences and on the person of nonsmoking elderly subjects across the metropolitan Seattle area and represent a wide range of light scattering measurements directly related to exposures and health effects. At low PM levels, nephs provided finer resolution and more precise measurements (precision = 3-8% and uncertainty = 2.8 x 10(-7) m(-1) or <1 microg/m3) than the pDRs. The unbiased precision of pDRs above 10 microg/m3 is around 5% (with an unbiased uncertainty of 4.4 microg/m3). The 24-h average responses of the pDR and neph, as compared to 24-h integrated gravimetric measurements, are not affected by indoor sources of PM. When regressed against 24-h gravimetric measurements, nephs showed higher coefficients of determination (R2 = 0.81-0.93) than pDRs (R2 = 0.77-0.84). The default mass calibration on the pDRs generally overestimated indoor HI2.5 measurements by 56%. When carried by subjects, the pDR overestimated the HPEM2.5 measurements by approximately 27%. Collocated real-time indoor nephs and pDRs at diverse residential sites had varied coefficients of determination across homes (R2 = 0.75-0.96), and the difference between pDR and neph responses increased during cooking hours. This difference was larger during baking or frying episodes than during other cooking or cleaning activities. Relative humidity, ranging between 25% and 64% indoors in our study, was not a significant factor affecting the differences in neph or pDR response. In summary, for nonsmoking residences, the mass scattering efficiency (m2/g) of a stationary indoor neph on a 24-h basis does not vary by residence, including residences with and without cooking activities. This is also true forthe pDR. These same stationary indoor pDRs and nephs correlate well with each other, even on a 10-min basis, in the absence of indoor source activities. The fact that these activities comprised a relatively small percentage (cooking + cleaning = 2.3%) of the overall sampling time meant that the overall correlation between these two instruments for all time periods was good. However, when examining the cooking and cleaning periods separately, the correlation was not very good. Thus, during these short-term PM episodes, the 24-h average calibrations versus gravimetric mass should be used with caution. Both devices should be potentially useful in future exposure assessment and health effects studies.

AN - 71937226; 12137051 AB - The elemental composition of marine sediment provides useful information for the study of environmental processes including biogeochemical cycling and contaminant partitioning. It is common practice to acidify marine sediment samples to remove carbonate before measuring the concentrations of organic carbon (C). To date, however the effects of acidification on the concentrations of hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and oxygen (O) in marine sediments have not been explicitly addressed. Acidification may contaminate or alter the sediment samples and create experimental artifacts affecting the validity of resulting H/C, C/N and O/C ratios. The objective of this study was to quantify how various preparation techniques affect the measured concentrations of C, H, N, S and O in marine sediments. Effects of four different pretreatments: unacidified (whole), acidification by HCl vapor, acidification by direct addition of HCl, and combustion were evaluated using five marine sediments and a standard reference material. The magnitude of carbonate loss between the vapor and direct acidification treatments was evaluated using stable C isotope analysis. Carbonates were most effectively removed by direct addition of HCl; and our results agree with findings of other studies which found direct addition of HCl to be the most accurate method for measuring organic C. However, the acid treatments elevated the apparent concentration of H and O; and in a few cases concentrations of N and S were significantly affected by acidification. In general, combustion significantly reduced all elemental concentrations compared to the whole sample. Based on these results, we recommend analysis of the untreated whole sediment for determining N, H, O, and S.

AN - 71911934; 12122571 AB - Epidemiology data show that mortality rates for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients increase with an increase in concentration of ambient particulate matter (PM). This is not seen for normal subjects. Therefore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified COPD patients as a susceptible subpopulation to be considered in regulatory standards. In the present study, a computer model was used to calculate deposition fractions of PM within the lungs of COPD patients. The morphology of COPD lungs was characterized by two distinct components: obstruction of airways (chronic bronchitis component), and degeneration of alveolar structure (emphysema component). The chronic bronchitis component was modeled by reducing airway diameters using airway resistance measurements in vivo, and the emphysema component was modeled by increasing alveolar volumes. Calculated results were compared with experimental data obtained from COPD patients for controlled breathing trials (tidal volume of 500 ml, respiratory time of 1 s) with a particle size of 1 microm. The model successfully depicts PM deposition patterns and their dependence on the severity of disease. The findings indicate that airway obstructions are the main cause for increased deposition in the COPD lung.

AN - 71904397; 12109743 AB - A field validation study of two sediment-amphipod toxicity tests was conducted using sediment samples collected subtidally in the vicinity of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated Superfund site in Elliott Bay (WA, USA). Sediment samples were collected at 30 stations with a 0.1 m2 grab from which subsamples were taken for sediment toxicity testing and geochemical and macrofaunal analyses. Standard 10-d sediment-amphipod toxicity tests were conducted with Rhepoxynius abronius and Leptocheiros plumulosus. Sediments were analyzed for 33 PAHs, pentachlorophenol, polychlorinated biphenyls, acid-volatile sulfide, simultaneously extracted metals (Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni), total organic carbon, and grain size. Sediment temperature, oxygen-reduction potential, water depth, and interstitial water salinity were also measured. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, quantified as total PAH toxic units (TU(PAH)), were confirmed to be an important common causal agent of the changes in the two toxicity test (% survival R. abronius, % survival L. plumulosus) and five macrofaunal community (number of species, S; numerical abundance, A: total biomass, B: Swartz's dominance index, SDI; Brillouin's index, H) endpoints. Two other macrofaunal community metrics (the complement of Simpson's index, 1 - SI, and McIntosh's index, MI) were less sensitive to TU(PAH) than the two toxicity test endpoints. The sensitivities of R. abronius and L. plumulosus to TU(PAH) were statistically indistinguishable. Field validations were conducted by testing the association between or among each toxicity test endpoint, each of seven macrofaunal community metrics (S, A, B, SDI, H, 1 - SI, MI), and TU(PAH) by (1) Spearman's coefficient of rank correlation, (2) Kendall's coefficient of concordance, (3) G tests of independence, and (4) regression analysis. Some field validations based on multivariable tests of association (e.g., points 2 and 3) among toxicity test, field, and stressor endpoints produced false positive results. Both toxicity test endpoints were validated as indicators of changes in S, A, SDI, and H by all the methods tested. The resolution power of the relationships between the laboratory toxicity test and macrofaunal field endpoints was low (< or = three classes) but sufficient to discriminate ecologically important effects. We conclude that standard sediment-amphipod toxicity tests are ecologically relevant and that, under the proper conditions, their results can be used for lab-to-field extrapolation.

AN - 71902740; 12109755 AB - A population of the nonmigratory estuarine fish species Fundulus heteroclitus (mummichog) indigenous to a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated Superfund site (New Bedford Harbor, MA, USA) demonstrated an inherited tolerance to local, dioxinlike contaminants (DLCs). These findings suggest that DLCs have acted as selective agents, allowing the survival of only the most tolerant individuals, forming DLC-adapted populations. We hypothesized that DLC-tolerant mummichog populations would reside where local conditions are toxic to sensitive individuals, and that toxic environmental conditions could be predicted based on responses of sensitive early life stages to laboratory exposures of DLCs. As a measure of DLC tolerance, progeny of field-collected fish were tested in the laboratory with a dioxinlike PCB congener, 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126). Mummichog populations were collected from sites with sediment PCB concentrations predicted to range from nontoxic to toxic. Consistent with predictions, tolerant populations were indigenous to sites with elevated sediment PCB concentrations. Also, as predicted, DLC-tolerant populations were resident to sites far less contaminated than the Superfund site. These results suggest that exposures to persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic contaminants may produce evolutionary effects on a geographic scale larger than previously envisioned. This study presents an approach and describes a model system that may improve understanding of the scale of occurrence for these potentially irreversible ecological effects.

AN - 71901263; 12115775 AB - The purine analog 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (2-CdA) caused ocular and limb defects in the mouse and rabbit. The current study examined the teratogenic potential of this drug in the rat and compared the adverse developmental outcomes with the other species. Timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection of various doses of 2-CdA ranging from 5-60 mg/kg, at gestational day (GD) 9.5 and GD 14. 2-CdA concentrations in maternal serum and embryos were measured by HPLC and termed fetuses were prepared for teratological examination. Full-litter resorption was seen in dams receiving 50 mg/kg of 2-CdA at GD 9.5, whereas post-implantation loss was significantly increased and fetal weights significantly reduced at 40 mg/kg. Gross examination of the surviving fetuses revealed microphthalmia, a shortened body trunk and lumbar hernia, manifested by a soft mass protrusion at the lumbar region on one or both sides of the spine. Incidence of these defects increased in a dose-dependent fashion. Histological examination indicated that the hernia was associated with hypoplasia of the body wall, poorly developed skeletal muscle bundles surrounding the vertebral column in the lumbar region, and an absence of the lateral muscle groups that allowed protrusion of the abdominal viscera. The lumbar hernia was generally accompanied by spina bifida, deformed ribs and a wide spectrum of soft tissue-abnormalities that included kidney, genitourinary and heart defects. At GD 14, exposure to 2-CdA at 60 mg/kg produced oligodactyly in one of six litters. 2-CdA produced similar ocular defects in the rat and mouse, although the incidence was much lower in the former species. In contrast, the drug-induced lumbar hernia was only seen in the rat. These apparent disparities were not readily explained by species differences in pharmacokinetic parameters. the similarities between the teratological features of 2-CdA-induced lumbar hernia in the rat and the clinical description of lumbocostovertebral syndrome, however, may provide a key to unlock the etiology of this rare birth defect in humans.

AN - 71858033; 12087436 AB - A year-long investigation of air change rates in an occupied house was undertaken to establish the effects of temperature, wind velocity, use of exhaust fans, and window-opening behavior. Air change rates were calculated by periodically injecting a tracer gas (SF(6)) into the return air duct and measuring the concentration in 10 indoor locations sequentially every minute by a gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector. Temperatures were also measured outdoors and in the 10 indoor locations. Relative humidity (RH) was measured outdoors and in five indoor locations every 5 min. Wind speed and direction in the horizontal plane were measured using a portable meteorological station mounted on the rooftop. Use of the thermostat-controlled attic fan was recorded automatically. Indoor temperatures increased from 21 degrees C in winter to 27 degrees C in summer. Indoor RH increased from 20% to 70% in the same time period. Windows were open only a few percent of the time in winter but more than half the time in summer. About 4600 hour-long average air change rates were calculated from the measured tracer gas decay rates. The mean (SD) rate was 0.65 (0.56) h(-1). Tracer gas decay rates in different rooms were very similar, ranging only from 0.62 to 0.67 h(-1), suggesting that conditions were well mixed throughout the year. The strongest influence on air change rates was opening windows, which could increase the rate to as much as 2 h(-1) for extended periods, and up to 3 h(-1) for short periods of a few hours. The use of the attic fan also increased air change rates by amounts up to 1 h(-1). Use of the furnace fan had no effect on air change rates. Although a clear effect of indoor-outdoor temperature difference could be discerned, its magnitude was relatively small, with a very large temperature difference of 30 degrees C (54 degrees F) accounting for an increase in the air change rate of about 0.6 h(-1). Wind speed and direction were found to have very little influence on air change rates at this house.

AN - 71856582; 12087432 AB - Young children may be more likely than adults to be exposed to pesticides following a residential application as a result of hand- and object-to-mouth contacts in contaminated areas. However, relatively few studies have specifically evaluated mouthing behavior in children less than 5 years of age. Previously unpublished data collected by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) were analyzed to assess the mouthing behavior of 72 children (37 males/35 females). Total mouthing behavior data included the daily frequency of both mouth and tongue contacts with hands, other body parts, surfaces, natural objects, and toys. Eating events were excluded. Children ranged in age from 11 to 60 months. Observations for more than 1 day were available for 78% of the children. The total data set was disaggregated by gender into five age groups (10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60 months). Statistical analyses of the data were then undertaken to determine if significant differences existed among the age/gender subgroups in the sample. A mixed effects linear model was used to test the associations among age, gender, and mouthing frequencies. Subjects were treated as random and independent, and intrasubject variability was accounted for with an autocorrelation function. Results indicated that there was no association between mouthing frequency and gender. However, a clear relationship was observed between mouthing frequency and age. Using a tree analysis, two distinct groups could be identified: children 24 months of age. Children 24 months exhibited the lowest frequency of mouthing behavior with 42+/-4 events/h (n=44 subjects, 117 observations). These results suggest that children are less likely to place objects into their mouths as they age. These changes in mouthing behavior as a child ages should be accounted for when assessing aggregate exposure to pesticides in the residential environment.

AN - 71815399; 12062157 AB - Research was conducted to determine the kinetics of hepatic vitellogenin (VTG) mRNA regulation and plasma VTG accumulation and clearance in male sheepshead minnows (Cyprinodon variegatus) during and after cessation of exposure to either 17 beta-estradiol (E2) or para-nonylphenol (NP). Adult fish were continuously exposed to aqueous measured concentrations of 0.089 and 0.71 microg E2 per l, and 5.6 and 59.6 microg NP per l for 16 days using an intermittent flow-through dosing apparatus. Fish were sampled on days 8 and 16 of exposure followed by sampling at discrete intervals for up to 96 days post-exposure. At each interval five fish were randomly sampled from each concentration and hepatic VTG mRNA and serum VTG levels for individual fish determined by slot blot and direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. Exposure to E2 and NP resulted in a dose dependent increase in hepatic VTG mRNA and plasma VTG over the course of the 16-day exposure period. Mean plasma VTG levels at day 16 were >100 mg/ml for both high doses of E2 and NP, and >20 mg/ml for the low exposure treatments. Within 8 days post-exposure, hepatic VTG mRNA levels returned to baseline in both high and low E2 treatments but remained elevated 2-4 fold in the NP treatments. Due to a shortened sampling period, a clearance rate for plasma VTG in the 5.6 microg NP per l treatment could not determined. In the 0.089, 0.71 microg E2 per l, and 59.6 microg NP per l treatments, VTG levels began decreasing within 4 days after exposure cessation and exhibited an exponential rate of elimination from plasma. Clearance rates for 0.71 microg E2 per l and 59.6 microg NP per l were not significantly different (P=0.47), however, both demonstrated significantly higher rates of clearance (P<0.02) than observed in the 0.089 microg E2 per l treatment. Our results indicate that hepatic VTG mRNA rapidly diminishes after cessation of estrogenic exposure in sheepshead minnows, but plasma VTG clearance is concentration and time dependent and may be detected at measurable levels for months after initial exposure to an estrogenic compound.

AN - 71813799; 12062927 AB - Bromodichloromethane (BDCM) is a drinking water disinfectant by-product that has been implicated in liver, kidney and intestinal cancers in rodents and in intestinal tumors and low birth weight effects in humans. BDCM is also hepatotoxic and requires metabolic activation for both toxicity and carcinogenicity. We have recently reported that CYP1A2 may participate in that metabolism and we now report experiments to support that implication. Induction of CYP1A2 in male F344 rats without inducing CYP2E1 or CYP2B1/2, using TCDD, increased the hepatotoxicity of BDCM when compared to earlier work conducted under similar protocols. Inhibition of CYP1A2, with isosafrole, reduced the metabolism and toxicity of BDCM in the previously induced rats. In addition, specific activities and Western blots for these CYP isoenzymes were measured 24 h after exposure. Activity data show that only CYP1A2 was inhibited by isosafrole; isosafrole forms a complex with CYP1A2 that persists for more than 24 h. Western blot results generally agree with the activity data except that isosafrole induced the protein for all isoenzymes measured. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic model, developed previously, estimated that BDCM metabolism was complete about 7 h after gavage dosing. It is noteworthy that the reduction in CYP1A2 activity was still measurable despite the production of additional CYP1A2 protein during the period of approximately 18 h after BDCM metabolism was complete.

AN - 71813009; 12062932 AB - Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver microsomes were used to study the rate of ring-hydroxylation of phenol at 11 and 25 degrees C by directly measuring the production of two potentially toxic metabolites, hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CAT). An HPLC method with integrated ultraviolet and electrochemical detection was used for metabolite identification and quantification at low (pmol) formation rates found in fish. The Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics for the production of HQ and CAT over a range of phenol concentrations were determined at trout physiological pH. The apparent Km's for the production of HQ and CAT at 11 degrees C were 14+/-1 and 10+/-1 mM, respectively, with Vmax's of 552+/-71 and 161+/-15 pmol/min per mg protein. The kinetic parameters for HQ and CAT at 25 degrees C were 22+/-1 and 32+/-3 mM (Km) and 1752+/-175 and 940+/-73 pmol/min per mg protein (Vmax), respectively. The calculated increase in metabolic rate per 10 degrees C temperature rise (Q(10)) was 2.28 for HQ and 3.53 for CAT production. These experiments assess the potential for metabolic bioactivation in fish through direct quantification of putative reactive metabolites at the low, but toxicologically significant, chemical concentrations found in aquatic organisms. This work initiates a series of studies to compare activation pathway, rate, and capacity across fish species, providing a basis for development of biologically-based dose response models in diverse species.

AN - 71812304; 12062926 AB - Haber's rule as commonly interpreted in inhalation toxicology, can be stated as exposure concentration times duration equals a constant biological effect, or C x t=k. In other words, identical products of concentration and duration lead to the same effect. The goals of this paper are to develop a biological and pharmacokinetic modeling approach for chloroform, and to evaluate Haber's rule for different ages by taking into account the physiological changes due to growth and aging in rats. Three-dimensional dose-response surfaces for liver toxicity were generated for each age group of interest: adolescent, adult, and senescent rats. The three-dimensional surfaces were then characterized with a generalized description of Haber's rule for each age group. The simulations suggest that adolescent rats need higher exposure levels in order to achieve similar levels of liver damage compared to adults or senescent rats, if the comparison is made using the same exposure length. In summary, a pharmacokinetic modeling approach with a biological framework including the chemical's mode of action, was used to relate concentration, exposure duration and effect. Major advantages of this approach include: the potential ability to extrapolate to humans, the inclusion of aging in the simulations, and the ability to summarize the results using a generalized form of Haber's rule.

AN - 71811878; 12060579 AB - The mechanism of tissue injury after exposure to air pollution particles is not known. The biological effect has been postulated to be mediated via an oxidative stress catalyzed by metals present in particulate matter (PM). We utilized a transgenic (Tg) mouse model that overexpresses extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) to test the hypothesis that lung injury after exposure to PM results from an oxidative stress in the lower respiratory tract. Wild-type (Wt) and Tg mice were intratracheally instilled with either saline or 50 microg of residual oil fly ash (ROFA). Twenty-four hours later, specimens were obtained and included bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung for both homogenization and light histopathology. After ROFA exposure, EC-SOD Tg mice showed a significant reduction in BAL total cell counts (composed primarily of neutrophils) and BAL total protein compared with Wt. EC-SOD animals also demonstrated diminished concentrations of inflammatory mediators in BAL. There was no statistically significant difference in BAL lipid peroxidation; however, EC-SOD mice had lower concentrations of oxidized glutathione in the BAL. We conclude that enhanced EC-SOD expression decreased both lung inflammation and damage after exposure to ROFA. This supports a participation of oxidative stress in the inflammatory injury after PM exposure rather than reflecting a response to metals alone. JF - American journal of physiology.

AN - 71782240; 12045869 AB - Receiving water impacts of point source discharges to the Gulf of Mexico are seldom reported on indigenous flora. The objective of this research was to evaluate the ability of colonized periphyton to provide this information. Water quality and biomass and pigment concentrations of the periphyton were determined at 27 stations located above and below 8 wastewater discharges. Most physicochemical parameters and concentrations of pesticides and PCBs were either unchanged or below detection in the receiving waters, which contrasted occasional increases in concentrations of several trace metals and nutrients. The response of the periphyton was specific to the wastewater, colonization station, response parameter, and colonization period. Statistically significant differences in biomass and pigment content occurred for at least one colonization station located below each of the eight outfalls. This represented a total of 18 of the 21 stations located in wastewater-impacted areas. Phytostimulation was more common than inhibition. Ash-free dry weight increased, on average, by 181% (+/- 1 SD = 123%) and chlorophyll a increased by 356% (+/- 593%) in wastewater-impacted areas. The in situ phytostimulation paralleled the stimulatory trend observed in standardized NPDES whole effluent tests conducted with cultured microalgae for four of eight wastewaters. The use of colonized periphyton as an indicator of wastewater impact was not simple. Spatial variation in response needs consideration to ensure relevancy of the results if this assessment methodology is used for near-coastal wastewater hazard evaluations.

One such nonregulatory approach is pollution prevention policy, an alternative environmental protection strategy that shifts the focus from downstream mitigation strategies to upstream reduction strategies. This article uses the extant policy literature to analyze implementation of pollution prevention policy in CA & CO. The findings indicate that the extant environmental protection literature produces mixed results, when applied to the pollution prevention policy arena. Of the five variables tested, only three produced findings consistent with previous research, suggesting that nonregulatory policy arenas differ enough from regulatory policy arenas that they require different causal explanations. 31 References.

Emission factors, homologue profiles, and isomer patterns were compared to determine whether the experimental conditions had an impact on PCDD/F emissions, or whether these conditions were uninfluential in determining a fleet-representative emission factor. For a single HDDV tested under conditions of a high mileage engine, a newly rebuilt engine, and the newly rebuilt engine with low S diesel fuel, emission factors were 0.023 ( plus or minus 0.022), 0.008 ( plus or minus 0.002), and 0.016 ( plus or minus 0.013) ng toxic equivalency (TEQ)/km, respectively. These results may infer some limited condition-specific differences in PCDD/F emissions, but these differences do not appear to have a significant effect on the HDDV emission factor. An older HDDV with mechanical fuel controls resulted in a single test value of 0.164 ng TEQ/km, significantly higher than all other results. Observed differences in emission factors, homologue profiles, and TEQ-related isomer patterns from this on-vehicle sampling and others' tunnel sampling suggest limitations in our present characterization of fleet PCDD/F emissions.

The IRIS program develops EPA consensus scientific positions on potential human health effects from chronic exposure to chemicals. Currently, the IRIS database contains health assessments for the toxic effects of exposure to coke oven emissions, creosote, diesel emissions, and 15 individual PAH compounds. As a whole, these assessments do not consider issues related to the environmental occurrence of PAH compounds as complex mixtures. Risk assessment of PAH mixtures has been hindered by a lack of information on the composition and toxicity of specific mixtures, the components that contribute most to toxicity, and the interactions and differences in mode of action between components. The state-of-the-science has advanced considerably in the past decade and will play a key role in the development of the health assessment. Consideration of these issues led to an EPA-sponsored Workshop on Approaches to PAH Health Assessment in October 2001. The current practices of the EPA regarding the health assessment of PAH compounds and future directions of the agency are discussed in this article.

Increasingly, it is being used with success to remediate sites that contain higher molecular weight organic compounds. This case study describes the development of S/S formations and their application to remediate the American Creosote Superfund Site in Jackson, Tennessee. The U.S. EPA National Risk Management Research Laboratory conducted successful treatability tests of innovative solidification/stabilization (S/S) formulations to treat soils contaminated with dioxins, pentachlorophenol (PCP), and creosote from four wood preserving sites. Formulations developed during these studies were successful in reducing the mobility (leaching) of contaminants of concern by 95% to 99%. For one of these sites, the American Creosote Superfund site in Jackson, Tennessee, the U.S. EPA, in cooperation with the State of Tennessee, conducted a successful remediation of 45,000 cubic yards during 1998 and 1999. The costs to excavate, treat, replace, and cap soil contaminated with dioxin, PCP, and creosote averaged $64 per cubic yard (about $40 ton). Formulations, design, operations, performance specifications, and costs are presented in this paper.

The identical pattern of adducts was seen in vivo and in vitro. Cochromatography of synthetic resolved diastereomers of cis- and trans- N sub(2)-CPP-deoxyguanosine-3-phosphates with the in vivo adducts obtained from strain A/J mouse lung and in vitro adducts obtained from C3H10T1/2 cells allowed identification of the predominant DNA adduct as cis-(3R,4S)- N sub(2)-CPP-deoxyguanosine. The second most abundant adduct formed in vivo and in vitro was identified as trans-(3S,4S)-N sub(2)-CPP- deoxyguanosine.

Both mice and rats were exposed to 100 mg/kg of benz[a]anthracene (B[a]A), benzo[b]fluoranthene (B[b]F), benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), or chrysene (Chr) by gavage or by intraperitoneal injection (i.p.). Peripheral blood was removed by cardiac puncture 7 days after PAH administration. Blood samples were analyzed in parallel for sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency, the frequency of micronuclei in cytochalasin B-induced binucleate cells (MN sub(bn)), and DNA adduction using 32P-postlabeling. The i.p. route of exposure produced both the highest levels of cytogenetic damage and DNA adducts for each PAH. The mouse was more sensitive than the rat to PAH exposure as measured by SCE induction and the total amount of DNA adducts/mug DNA.

Soil light fraction (LF) organic matter is a reactive pool that decreases upon cultivation of forest soils, and recovers slowly after agricultural abandonment. Here we examine the hypothesis that rapid incorporation of N into the relatively young and reactive LF organic matter is an important mechanism for the retention of added inorganic N in forest soils. We determined the incorporation of super(15)N-ammonium and super(15)N-nitrate into the LF (<1.75 g cm super(-3)) and heavy fraction (HF) after 18 h, after removing KCl-extractable ammonium and nitrate. We also measured gross N transformations in forest soils with different agricultural land-use history and present-day vegetation at Harvard Forest, USA. The LF was a strong short-term sink for N, incorporating an average of 39% of added ammonium and 17% of added nitrate after an 18 h incubation. The HF was a small sink (<5%) for added N. Less than 15% of added super(15)N was recovered in the exchangeable pools after 18 h. Tracer recovery was only 40-60% of the super(15)N added, suggesting a rapid conversion into soluble organic compounds not measured in the KCl or metatungstate solution. The LF incorporated more super(15)N than the HF per unit of carbon, indicating that not simply the amount but the composition of organic matter controls its function as a site for N incorporation. Gross production was 1-8 mg ammonium-N kg super(-1) soil d super(-1) and <0.1-1 mg nitrate-N kg super(-1) soil d super(-1) and was unrelated to soil moisture. In contrast, low soil moisture was associated with strongly reduced gross microbial immobilization. The LF organic matter was the most important measured short-term sink for inorganic N, and may play a key role in the rapid immobilization of N in forest soils. Changes in the size and nature of the soil LF organic matter could have important implications for N dynamics in many soils.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified perc as a hazardous air pollutant because of its potential adverse impact on human health. Several occupational studies have indicated that chronic, airborne perc exposure adversely affects neurobehavioral functions in workers, particularly visual color discrimination and tasks dependent on rapid visual-information processing. A 1995 study by Altmann and colleagues extended these findings, indicating that environmental perc exposure at a mean level of 4,980 mu g/m super(3) (median=1,360 mu g/m super(3)) alters neurobehavioral functions in residents living near dry-cleaning facilities. Although the U.S. EPA has not yet set a reference concentration guideline level for environmental exposure to airborne perc, the New York State Department of Health set an air quality guideline of 100 mu g/m super(3). In the current residential study, we investigated the potential for perc exposure and neurologic effects, using a battery of visual-system function tests, among healthy members of six families living in two apartment buildings in New York City that contained dry-cleaning facilities on the ground floors. In addition, a day care investigation assessed the potential for perc exposure and effects among workers at a day care center located in the same one-story building as a dry-cleaning facility. Results from the residential study showed a mean exposure level of 778 mu g/m super(3) perc in indoor air for a mean of 5.8 years, and that perc levels in breath, blood, and urine were 1-2 orders of magnitude in excess of background values. Group-mean visual contrast sensitivity (VCS), a measure of the ability to detect visual patterns, was significantly reduced in the 17 exposed study participants relative to unexposed matched-control participants. The groups did not differ in visual acuity, suggesting that the VCS deficit was of neurologic origin. Healthy workers in the day care investigation were chronically exposed to airborne perc at a mean of 2,150 mu g/m super(3) for a mean of 4.0 years. Again, group-mean VCS, measured 6 weeks after exposure cessation, was significantly reduced in the nine exposed workers relative to matched controls, and the groups did not differ significantly in visual acuity. These results suggested that chronic, environmental exposure to airborne perc adversely affects neurobehavioral function in healthy individuals. Further research is needed to assess the susceptibility of the young and elderly to perc-induced effects, to determine whether persistent solvent-induced VCS deficits are a risk factor for the development of neurologic disease, and to identify the no observable adverse effect level for chronic, environmental, perc exposure in humans.

In the present study we sought to establish whether equimolar exposure to bromochloroacetic acid (BCA), a prevalent by-product in finished drinking water, is also capable of disrupting these endpoints, and if so to determine whether the novel biomarker of fertility (SP22) would be correlated with subfertility induced by testicular toxicity. A dose range finding study indicated that body weight was not affected by exposure to 14 daily doses of 72 mg/kg BCA while numerous male reproductive parameters were altered, including decreases in the number and progressive motility of cauda epididymal sperm. In addition, there was an increased incidence of delayed spermiation in the testes of males exposed to 72 mg/kg BCA. In the definitive study, exposures ranged from 8 to 72 mg/kg, the fertility of cauda epididymal sperm was evaluated by in utero insemination, and the two-dimensional profile of cauda sperm membrane proteins was evaluated quantitatively. The morphology of both caput and cauda epididymal sperm was altered by 72 mg/kg BCA. The fertility of cauda epididymal sperm, the percentages of progressively motile sperm and progressive tracks, and two sperm membrane proteins (SP22 and SP9) were decreased significantly by each BCA exposure. While the two sperm proteins and the two measures of progressive motility were each significantly correlated with fertility, only one of these measures (i.e., SP22) had an r value of greater than 0.5. When data for SP22 and fertility were fit to a nonlinear model, r super(2) was 0.84. Using this exposure paradigm, the no-observed-effect level for BCA is less than 8 mg/kg. Moreover, SP22 may be useful in predicting compromised fertility after exposure to by-products of drinking water disinfection.

Pregnant Long-Evans rats were fed A1254 at doses of 0, 1.0, or 6.0 mg/kg/day throughout gestation and nursing. The growth and behavior of their male and female offspring were assessed both during development and as adults, using a variety of behavioral tests that included a neurobehavioral screening battery (functional observational battery [FOB] and automated tests of locomotor activity), habituation of motor activity, acquisition of a visual discrimination, and performance of a visual signal-detection task. During the suckling period, A1254 at 6 mg/kg reduced survival and body weight gain of offspring of both sexes; however, locomotor activity was unaffected, and only small and transient changes in other measures were evident. In adulthood, perinatal exposure to A1254 did not affect habituation of locomotor activity, acquisition of the visual discrimination, or sustained attention. Rats performing the signal-detection task were challenged with cocaine (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 mg/kg) and haloperidol (0, 0.003, 0.010, 0.030 mg/kg) to probe the integrity of dopaminergic systems in the central nervous system (CNS). A1254 did not alter the impairment of attention caused by haloperidol. Cocaine reduced false alarms more in controls than in rats exposed to A1254, but the effect was not clearly related to the dose of A1254. Perinatal exposure to this commercial PCB mixture had very little effect on these tests of behavior during development and in adulthood.

It is needed to monitor the migration of a contaminated groundwater plume over time and to evaluate the extent of natural remediation that is occurring. It involves the placement of four types of monitoring wells: up-gradient, side-gradient, impacted source, and down-gradient wells. The monitoring of groundwater samples from these wells should provide information to evaluate if the objectives of the natural attenuation process are being met. The sampling analytical plan depends upon the type of contaminants involved. The frequency of sampling should be sufficient to detect in a timely manner any changes in plume contaminant degradation behavior. It should also be flexible enough to make changes, should there be a need. The monitoring program should be continued until the objectives of the natural attenuation process have been met, and possibly longer, if necessary, to ensure that health and environment threats are protected. If during the monitoring process the plume behavior is found to change for the worse (i.e., plume migration is faster or further than before), a contingency plan should be in place to protect the down-gradient receptors. The contingency plan usually requires an engineered remediation plan to reduce the negative impact of the plume on the down-gradient receptors.

However, anthropogenic emissions (e.g., incineration, fossil fuel combustion) emit and natural processes create particulate-phase mercury (Hg-(p)) and divalent reactive gas-phase mercury (RGM). RGM species (e.g., HgCl sub(2), HgBr sub(2)) are water-soluble and have much shorter residence times in the atmosphere than Hg super(0) due to their higher removal rates through wet and dry deposition mechanisms. Manual and automated annular denuder methodologies, to provide high-resolution (1-2 h) ambient RGM measurements, were developed and evaluated. Following collection of RGM onto KCI-coated quartz annular denuders, RGM was thermally decomposed and quantified as Hg super(0). Laboratory and field evaluations of the denuders found the RGM collection efficiency to be >94% and mean collocated precision to be <15%. Method detection limits for sampling durations ranging from 1 to 12 h were 6.2-0.5 pg m super(-3), respectively. As part of this research, the authors observed that methods to measure Hg(p) had a significant positive artifact when RGM coexists with Hg(p). This artifact was eliminated if a KCI-coated annular denuder preceded the filter. This new atmospheric mercury speciation methodology has dramatically enhanced our ability to investigate the mechanisms of transformation and deposition of mercury in the atmosphere.

These figures are termed "trigger values" because it is intended that, if they are exceeded, further investigations will be triggered. Toxicant guideline trigger values have been derived primarily according to risk assessment principles and recommendations for their use follow a hierarchical decision framework that is also risk-based. This paper discusses the approach and philosophy behind derivation of the revised guideline trigger values, which are estimates of the highest concentration of chemicals that are expected to have no adverse effect. It is intended that, wherever possible, the figures should be applied at specific sites according to a risk-based decision scheme, taking into account the interaction of natural water quality and other parameters with toxic chemicals at the specific site. Such site-specific assessment is therefore an integral part of these guidelines and the detailed decision scheme is intended to assist a catchment manager to arrive at a final guideline value appropriate to the location being studied. A range of approaches may be used to address these interactions depending on the specific issues at hand and the availability of data. The decision-tree framework described in this paper provides catchment managers with practical guidance on how to apply the trigger values to specific sites according to local environmental conditions and also helps to focus future research needs.

It is difficult to inactivate using free chlorine, but appears to be easily inactivated by ozone. Therefore, the US EPA has promulgated the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, which for the first time, addresses the control of C. parvum in drinking water. The use of Ct (concentration of disinfectant in mg/L times, time in minutes) values is being considered as one of the options for controlling this organism. This paper proposes a Ct equation, based on first order kinetics, to provide guidance to drinking water utilities for the application of ozone for controlling C. parvum oocysts in drinking water. The equation, which provides mean estimates of inactivation, was developed using standard statistical techniques and currently available field and bench scale data. In addition, the possibility of using a statistically conservative upper bound Ct value in order to insure an appropriate safety factor is explored.

This framework incorporates the principles of risk and recent advances in ecotoxicity modelling. As such, it is a significant advance on the previous ANZECC (1992) and other international water quality guidelines. Two different methods were used to derive the guidelines: a modification of the Canadian (CCME 1991) assessment factor method, and a new statistical distribution method called the Burr Type III method (Campbell et al. 2000) which was developed from the Aldenberg and Slob (1993) method. This paper provides the rules governing the framework, details of the collation and screening of the toxicity data and the methods used to derive the guidelines.

AN - 71888904; 12101032 AB - The neurotoxicant methylmercury (CH(3)Hg(+)) inhibits voltage-sensitive Na(+) and Ca(2+) currents in neuronal preparations following acute, in vitro, exposure. In the present study, effects on voltage-sensitive Na(+) (I(Na)) and Ca(2+) (I(Ca)) currents in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were examined following prolonged exposure to CH(3)Hg(+). When PC12 cells cultured in the presence of nerve growth factor (NGF) for 7 days ('primed') were replated in the presence of NGF and 30 nM CH(3)Hg(+), I(Ca), but not I(Na), amplitude was reduced (29%) significantly approximately 24 h later. Quantitative assessment of morphology indicated that this approximately 24 h exposure to CH(3)Hg(+) significantly reduced neurite length. The N-type voltage-sensitive Ca(2+) channel (VSCC) antagonist omega-conotoxin GVIA (500 pM) was without significant effect on current amplitude or morphology in this exposure protocol. When undifferentiated cells were cultured in the presence of NGF and 10 nM CH(3)Hg(+) for 6 days, I(Ca) and I(Na) amplitude were reduced by 36 and 52%, respectively. I(Ca) at the end of a 150 ms test pulse was also reduced by 40% in CH(3)Hg(+)-treated cells. Thus, both inactivating and non-inactivating I(Ca) were reduced equally. There was no change in [(3)H]saxitoxin or omega-[(125)I]conotoxin GVIA binding, nor were there any morphological alterations in cells treated with CH(3)Hg(+) for 6 days. Omega-conotoxin GVIA (500 pM, 6 days), reduced significantly I(Ca), but not I(Na), but was without effect on morphology. These results demonstrate that prolonged exposure to low concentrations of CH(3)Hg(+) reduces cationic currents in differentiating PC12 cells, but that current reduction is not always associated with morphological alteration.

Experiments with surrogate solutions of up to five VOCs in the presence and absence of a surfactant were performed to compare performance of the full-scale vibrating system with that previously observed at the laboratory-scale as well as the performance of the same full-scale system during a recent field demonstration project. The primary process variables studied were amplitude of vibration, temperature, liquid flow rate, and permeate pressure. Data were obtained with two types of silicone rubber membranes - a thick (254 mu m) fiberglass reinforced silicone membrane and a more typical pervaporation membrane consisting of a 10 mu m silicone layer on a microporous support. The full-scale vibrating system delivered mass transfer coefficients comparable to those observed at the laboratory-scale and, under certain conditions, were comparable to those obtained with spiral wound pervaporation modules.

To satisfy these requirements CASTNet was designed to assess and report on geographic patterns and long-term, temporal trends in ambient air pollution and acid deposition in order to gauge the effectiveness of current and future mandated emission reductions. This paper presents an analysis of the spatial patterns of deposition of sulfur and nitrogen pollutants for the period 1990-2000. Estimates of deposition are provided for two 4-yr periods: 1990-1993 and 1997-2000. These two periods were selected to contrast deposition before and after the large decrease in SO sub(2) emissions that occurred in 1995. Estimates of dry deposition were obtained from measurements at CASTNet sites combined with deposition velocities that were modeled using the multilayer model, a 20-layer model that simulates the various atmospheric processes that contribute to dry deposition. Estimates of wet deposition were obtained from measurements at sites operated by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program. The estimates of dry and wet deposition were combined to calculate total deposition of atmospheric sulfur (dry SO sub(2), dry and wet SO sub(4) super(2-)) and nitrogen (dry HNO sub(3), dry and wet NO sub(3) super(-), dry and wet NH sub(4) super(+)). An analysis of the deposition estimates showed a significant decline in sulfur deposition and no change in nitrogen deposition. The highest rates of sulfur deposition were observed in the Ohio River Valley and downwind states. This region also observed the largest decline in sulfur deposition. The highest rates of nitrogen deposition were observed in the Midwest from Illinois to southern New York State. Sulfur and nitrogen deposition fluxes were significantly higher in the eastern United States as compared to the western sites. Dry deposition contributed approximately 38% of total sulfur deposition and 30% of total nitrogen deposition in the eastern United States. Percentages are similar for the two 4-yr periods. Wet sulfate and dry SO sub(2) depositions were the largest contributors to sulfur deposition. Wet nitrate, wet ammonium, and dry HNO sub(3) depositions were the largest contributors to nitrogen deposition.
