The objectives were to test the null hypotheses that (1) citrate, maltolate, and fluoride do not significantly influence oral Al bioavailability, Cmax or Tmax at an Al dose relevant to drinking water exposure; and (2) Al citrate and maltolate are absorbed intact from the gastrointestinal tract. Male Fisher rats were given 1 ml of solution intra-gastrically containing 1 nCi 26Al (65 nmol total Al) as the Al3+ ion, or as complexes with 14C-citrate, 14C-maltolate or fluoride, during concurrent 27Al iv infusion. Blood was repeatedly collected for serum 26Al, total Al and 14 …

Development And Recycling Of Novel Arsenic Removal Technology, Morgan Jones
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
As of 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) changed the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for arsenic from 50 parts per billion (ppb), to 10ppb because of links to cancer. Current remediation technologies are expensive; therefore, this change will result in increased economic pressure on rural communities with high levels of arsenic in their drinking water. Lowering of the standard has spurred the development of a novel remediation technology that has shown the ability to reduce arsenic in drinking water at the source, with the added benefit of low-cost disposal of a stable and benign waste product in ordinary landfills. …

Reports
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has conducted an environmental monitoring program in the Elizabeth River, Virginia for several years. The overall aim of this monitoring program has been to develop an assessment of the rivers “health” and to develop methods that would allow DEQ to track the state of the watershed through implementation of a long-term monitoring program for water, sediment and biota. This report summarizes the results from an investigation of mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) liver pathology and sediment chemical analyses.
