Artificial Turf Air Sampling Project 2025 at Oregon State University - Kelly O'Malley ; Alison Clark

Utilizing passive samplers to monitor the chemicals released into the air by Artificial Turf.

Chemical Movement

Of all environmental chemical transport processes, diffusion is the only continuously active process, and currently has been used as a baseline for total flux. However, contaminants can also move through the environment via wave pumping, tidal pumping, or

Wildfire Indoor/Outdoor Air Quality

The Food Safety and Environmental Stewardship Laboratory is very interested in understanding the effect of wildfires on air quality. We have begun collecting samples before, during and after wildfires in the Pacific Northwest using community-engaged resea

Pesticide exposures to Agricultural Workers

FSES and colleagues at Wake Forest are using the lapel version of the silicone passive sampler to define exposures to Ag workers in North Carolina

Defining Equine Exposures in PA and NY Using Passive Samplers

Passive sampling devices were deployed in air, water, and on brood mares at two horse farms, one in Pennsylvania and one in New York.

Tracking chemical exposures with location and lung function

Using wristband samplers, smart phones and a hand held spirometer, an active study in Eugene Oregon is looking at lung function in asthmatics and chemical exposures associated with location

Chemical Exposures of First Responders

FSES and FEMA working together, using passive samplers to characterize firefighter chemical exposure

Hurricane Harvey Chemical Exposures

FSES researchers were boots-on-the-ground within two weeks of hurricane Harvey's devestation of the Gulf coast. With local collaborators FSES distributed wristbands to residents to characterize their exposures during clean-up efforts.

Feline Hyperthyroidism

Using the same material as is used in the wristbands, FSES developed Feline Passive Samplers, simple small samplers that can be worn by cats (or dogs) that will allow determinations of flame retardant exposures

Silicone Wristband Personal Monitoring Device

If silicone can be used as a passive sampler in aqueous deployments, could it be used to sample the atmosphere?
