Organic Toxic Substances Monitoring In Virginia, Robert Emile. Croonenberghs Jan 1983

Organic Toxic Substances Monitoring In Virginia, Robert Emile. Croonenberghs

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

This project attempts to identify toxic organic substances used in Virginia, which cannot be detected by conventional analytical procedures. A list from the Virginia Bureau of Toxic Substances Information which contained substances reported as used in manufacture or produced in Virginia was cross-referenced with the Master File of toxic substances compiled pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act. Organic chemicals appearing on both lists were thus identified as toxic substances used in Virginia, and were the subjects of this research. Due to the reporting requirements of the Virginia Toxic Substances Information Act, the 113 "compounds" do not include substances used …

Accumulation Of Toxic Organic Pollutants In The Blue Crab Callinectes Sapidus (Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Gas Chromatography, Polychlorinated Biphenyls, Virginia), Robert C. Hale Jan 1983

Accumulation Of Toxic Organic Pollutants In The Blue Crab Callinectes Sapidus (Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Gas Chromatography, Polychlorinated Biphenyls, Virginia), Robert C. Hale

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Levels of toxic organic pollutants (TOP) were examined in the blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, of Virginia waters. Alkyl substituted polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (ASPAH), thought derived from weathered petroleum, were the most common organic pollutants present. Unsubstituted aromatics, heterosubstituted aromatics, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), and DDT metabolites were also detected by the analytical procedure employed. Highest levels of ASPAH were found in crabs from the heavily industrialized Hampton Roads area of the James River. Lower concentrations were detected in crabs from the Pocomoke Sound, the upper James and the Rappahannock River sampling sites. PCB levels were elevated in samples taken from both …
