High-throughput analytical methods for persistent organic pollutants in high-lipid matrices.
(, 2014-09-05)Persistent organic pollutant (POP) trends and profiles reconstructed from environmental matrices, such as mammal tissues, have provided a wealth of information regarding contaminant behavior and environmental fate. These ... -
Development and application of high-throughput sample preparation methods for solid matrices.
(, 2014-09-05)This research presents the development and application of high-throughput sample preparation methods for the analysis of organic and inorganic contaminants from solid samples. The approach presented evaluates conventional ... -
Towards an understanding of pharmaceutical exposure and bioaccumulation in effluent-dependent systems.
(, 2014-09-05)Environmental risks of pharmaceuticals and other contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are not well understood due to relatively limited information on fate, transport, exposure, bioaccumulation and effects. The objective ... -
Qualitative and quantitative assessment of UCM in PM2.5 of Bakersfield, CA.
(, 2014-01-28)Fine particulate matter (PM ₂.₅ ) was collected in Bakersfield, CA during the CalNex 2010 field experiment and was analyzed for primary organics using a gas chromatograph – mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Substantial presence ... -
Fire disturbance effects on regional carbon cycling in a sub-humid woodland.
(, 2013-05-15)Fire disturbance affects many ecosystem processes, especially carbon (C) cycling. In addition, fire is routinely used as a management tool in wildland ecosystems. In this study, I measured the fire-affected C storage, ... -
Influence of pH and total dissolve solids on harmful algal blooms of Prymnesium parvum.
(, 2013-05-15)Harmful blooms of Prymnesium parvum in inland waters continue to expand, in part, due to anthropogenic influences and climate change. This thesis examines influences of pH and total dissolved solids (TDS) on P. parvum ... -
Using multiple parameters to compare effluent quality of eight wastewater treatment systems.
(, 2013-05-15)Wastewater effluent qualities from two study sites in central Texas were compared using whole effluent toxicity (WET) tests and chemical indicator parameters. Three of the effluents were collected from the City of Whitney ... -
Advancing an understanding of ecological risk assessment approaches for ionizable contaminants in aquatic systems.
(2010)Freshwater is increasingly becoming a finite resource in many regions of the world. Gaps between estimated water supply and demand continue to narrow and the prospects of acquiring additional sources of freshwater remain ...
