For over a century, Sudbury (Ontario, Canada) has been a major copper-nickel metal smelter centre. Emissions of acidifying compounds and metal particulates beginning in the 1880s damaged thousands of lakes and watersheds in the region. Emission controls introduced in the 1960s a…
Contact mechanics of rough surfaces and surface wear will be considered. Two types of failures are considered. The first involving rapidly growing failure and the second fatigue type surface failure as a result of repetitive application of load cycle. The first type of failure w…
Phytoremediation has been proposed as a low-cost, environmentally friendly alternative to clean highly contaminated sites. Phytoremediation using trees offer the advantage of metal immobilization (phytostabilization), high hydraulic pumping pressures, produce large plant biomass…
This study examined the effects of ethanol on the toxicities and metabolism of two aliphatic nitriles: acetonitrile and acrylonitrile (one unsaturated and one saturated aliphatic nitrile, respectively) in male Sprague-Dawley rats at four different time intervals. Toxicity signs …
Kerosene-based fuels have been used for many decades. Over 2 million military and civilian personnel each year are occupationally exposed to various jet fuel mixtures. Dermatitis is one of the major health concerns associated with these exposures. In the past, separate absorptio…
Exposure to arsenic (As)-contaminated drinking water affects tens of millions people worldwide. The health effects of As are well established yet the mechanisms and dose-response relationships of As toxicity are not fully understood. Inaccurate exposure assessment, limited sensi…
"This book provides a reference source on various techniques available for assessing contaminant bioavailability by presenting detailed chapters on fundamental principles governing contaminant bioavailability, indicators of bioavailability and potential implications of bioavaila…
