Citation:
Vallero, D A., L Stockburger, J. L. Farnsworth, AND J. J. Peirce. TRANSPORT AND TRANSFORMATION OF A SEMI-VOLATILE FUNGICIDE FROM SOIL TO THE ATMOSPHERE: CHAMBER DESIGN AND FABRICATION. Presented at Region/Office of Research and Development Poster Session, Chicago, IL, October 31-November 1, 2000.
Impact/Purpose:
1) Develop methods of ecological exposure (e.g. rapid , sensitive analytical screening methods for a select list of antibiotics widely used in agriculture primarily in CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations).
2) Do Measurements & Provide data for multicompartment models of fate and transport.
3) Study biomagnification of specific chemicals and toxic metals.
4) Study specific pharmaceuticals:
*Determine the routes of entry and the impact of environmental factors such as rainfall on the movement and survivorability of selected antimicrobials in the environment.
*Determine if the entry of agriculture based antibiotics into the environment contributes to resistance in bacterial populations.
*Determine the contribution from municipal waste water treatment plants to antibiotic loading in the environment.
5) Develop methods for the analysis of alkylphenol ethoxylates and derivatives.
