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
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
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
Passive sampling devices were deployed in air, water, and on brood mares at two horse farms, one in Pennsylvania and one in New York.
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
FSES and FEMA working together, using passive samplers to characterize firefighter chemical exposure
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.
FSES field teams conducted sampling from shore and with diver assistance to evaluate chemical concentrations in surface water and sediments at the former Pope and Talbot creosote site in St Helens OR
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
