The ECOTOX Knowledgebase (http://cfpub.epa.gov/ecotox/) is a nationally and internationally recognized source of curated single-chemical toxicity data for aquatic life, terrestrial plants, and wildlife. This publicly available database currently includes data on more than 11,000 ...

As part of the SETAC Workshop on Metals Bioavailability, December, 2017 the history of the development of metal bioavailability concepts was reviewed. This presentation gives an overview of metal bioavailability developments for aquatic organisms, development of models and applic...

Presentation to be given at the 2018 Nutrients Permitting Workshop, Columbus, OH. Presentation Outline: U.S. EPA, ORD Overview Research Plans &ndash; Safe and Sustainable Water Examples: Green Infrastructure Performance Monitoring LCA of Nutrient Control Technologies Nutrient Con...

Presentation to be given at the Annual UNC Water Microbiology Meeting. Fecal Pollution is a Worldwide Problem. Fecal microbes are a common biological contaminant in surface waters worldwide. EPA Responsibilities are to protect and restore waters for recreational use, Clean Water ...

Abstract Anthropogenic chemicals have been proposed as potential markers of human fecal contamination in recreational water. However, to date, there are no published studies describing their relationships with illness risks. Using a cohort of swimmers at seven U.S. beaches, we e...

Freshwater mussels, one of the most imperiled groups of animals in the world, are generally underrepresented in toxicity databases used for the development of ambient water quality criteria and other environmental guidance values. Acute 96-h toxicity tests were conducted to evalu...

A methodology for developing remediation goals for sites with contaminated sediments is provided. The remediation goals are based upon the concentrations of chemicals in the sediment interstitial water measured using the passive sampling technique. The passive sampling technique ...

Evaluating the potential human health and/or ecological risks associated with exposures to complex chemical mixtures in the ambient environment is one of the central challenges of chemical safety assessment and environmental protection. There is a need for approaches that can he...

Because of the lack of data for the carcinogenicity and threshold toxicity of acenaphthene risk assessment values cannot be derived. The ambient water quality criterion of 0.2 mg/l is based on organoleptic data, which has no known relationship to potential human health effects. A...

Product Description:Pesticides are a broad category of current use chemicals that pose potential threats to aquatic organisms in and around the Great Lakes basin. In this study, we monitored for over 200 pesticides or their break down products in 16 major tributaries to the Great...

Hosted by the Contaminated Sediment Forum, this half-day course will introduce the RPM to the use of passive samplers to assess bioavailability and in ecological risk assessment. Passive sampling devices (PSD) are a technology with growing acceptance for measuring porewater conce...

The EPA National Rivers and Streams Assessment (NRSA), one of the National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NARS), provides information on the status and extent of biological condition in streams and rivers. Information from the NRSA helps EPA and partners meet the reporting requiremen...

There is significant concern regarding potential impairment of fish reproduction associated with exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Aromatase is a steroidogenic enzyme involved in the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Inhibition of aromatase can reduce levels ...

Passive sampling is becoming a frequently used measurement technique at Superfund sites with contaminated sediments. Passive sampling measures the concentrations of freely dissolved chemicals (Cfrees) in the sediment pore water. Cfree has been found to be a very practical means f...

The concepts of aggregate and source-specific exposures play an important role in chemical risk management. The concepts of aggregate and source-specific exposures play an important role in chemical risk management. Aggregate exposure to a chemical refers to combined exposures fr...
