Engineering a Biofilm for the Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Estuarine Sediment
(2019)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that accumulate in soils and sediment due to their physicochemical properties. In these environmental matrices, PAHs are predominantly transformed ... -
Exploring the Effects of Air Filtration Interventions and Meteorological Conditions on Urinary Amino-PAHs as Exposure Biomarkers
(2020)A large number of air pollutants exist in a gaseous phase, some of which are considered highly carcinogenic compounds. Yet these compounds have not been as well studied as airborne particulate matter (e.g., PM10 or PM2.5). ... -
Interactions Between Environmental Factors and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Developing Fish: Molecular and Developmental Implications
(2010)Aquatic systems are impacted by a wide variety of natural and anthropogenic stressors. Laboratory studies often focus on impacts of a single stressor, ignoring how these stressors may interact. This dissertation focuses ... -
Investigation of the role of environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon endocrine disrupting chemicals in breast cancer
(2021)Cancers are a complex set of related diseases with wide ranging etiologies, and humans are exposed to a milieu of environmental exposures that may contribute to disease development. Breast cancer in particular is a complex ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-induced Teratogenesis in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(2011)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants formed from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and are found in the environment as complex mixtures. PAHs are developmentally toxic ...
