The Battle Creek Health Study: A retrospective cohort study of the health effects of volatile organic chemicals with individual estimate of exposure based on time-modeling
… was found contaminated with a number of volatile organic chemicals. The author conducted a study of the potential health effects of the water contamination. The target was to study all current and former residents of 85 households with contaminated private wells. The final study size was …

Comparison of the extraction procedure toxicity test (EP) and the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) for the analysis of trace organic compounds in land applied municipal wastewater sludges
… (EPA) method utilized for analysis of trace organic chemicals and heavy metals leached from solid waste is the Extraction Procedure (EP) Toxicity Test. Because of various operational problems and limitations of the EP, the EPA has developed and plans to implement the Toxicity Characteristic …

Evaluating Competitive Sorption Mechanisms of Volatile Organic Chemical Mixtures in Soils and Sediments Using Polymers and Zeolites
Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) such as chlorinated compounds are among the most problematic groundwater contaminants. Prior research suggests that VOC mixtures compete for micropore sorption sites present in soils and sediments. It is hypothesized that the size and polarity of these micropores …

AVIAN FORAGING RESPONSE TO JACK PINE (PINUS BANKSIANA) VOLATILE CHEMICALS
… This interaction becomes complex when tree volatile chemical communication is added. Trees regularly release volatile organic chemicals (referred to as VOCs) as part of metabolism. The particular VOCs released by a tree can depend on several factors, including water availability, time of …

Phytoforensics on energetics: novel plant tissue measure approach and modeling
… and soil pore water concentration for non-volatile organic chemicals with root pathway only. The model included processes of diffusion exchange between root and soil, mass flow in xylem, metabolism and chemical equilibrium in soil and plant interior. The novel plant analysis method with sap …

Particle-chemical interactions and environmental chemodynamics of fine and ultrafine particles in a natural disaster scenario
… of fine and ultrafine particles with chemicals play a dominant role in determining the mobility and availability of pollutants in the environment. Fine particles in sediments can sequester chemicals from the water column, and release volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds to the …

Effects of Cucumber Mosaic Virus on Plant-Pollinator Relationships
… insects are complex and often mediated by volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Infection by viruses alter plant volatile signatures and consequently affect how insects interact with plants. In previous flight arena experiments in the Carr lab, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was shown to cause …

The evaluation and comparison of the extraction procedure toxicity test and the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure for the analysis of municipal wastewater sludges
… Both of these test methods analyze for trace organic chemicals and heavy metals. However, the TCLP is designed to analyze for volatile organic chemicals to a greater extent than the EP. Because of the added complexity and the current expense of the TCLP, the State is concerned that the TCLP …
