Transport models for the coastal pollution problems in the Great Lakes.
Abstract This paper utilizes a combination of physical limnological data and two types of transport models for predicting the fate and transport of material in Lake Ontario. In the first application a near-field model combined with a lake model is used to predict the waste plume characteristics...

Potential health effects associated with residential proximity to freeways and primary roads: review of scientific literature, 1999-2006.
Introduction During the 1970s and 1980s, environmental regulations substantially reduced emissions from industry and stationary sources. Automobiles and other road traffic (mobile sources) became the most prominent contributors to urban air pollution in many areas of the United States (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1994). Traffic emissions include...

Inhibitory effect of compounds from Zingiberaceae species on human platelet aggregation.
Introduction In a previous paper, we reported the ability of compounds from several Zingiberaceae species to displace [sup.3.H]PAF-specific binding from washed rabbit platelets (Jantan et al., 2004). The methanol extracts of these species showed strong antiplatelet aggregation activity in human whole blood in vitro. This paper reports...

Novel aromatic species containing group 14 atoms *.
Abstract: The dianions of tetraphenylsilole and tetraphenylgermole behave as aromatic species, as shown by the equalization of C-C bond lengths in these rings and by nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) calculations. Similarly, the dianions of 9-silafluorene and 9-germafluorene are aromatic. In the latter species, the heteroatom five-membered rings are more...

Gr-6. Aromatic rings and other types of electron delocalization.
Standard chemical structure diagrams imply a valence-bond interpretation, with two electrons localized in the general vicinity of a single bond, four electrons near a double bond, and six electrons near a triple bond. It is well known that the physical reality is not that simple, and that many molecules...

Dear EarthTalk: I just read an article that said air fresheners contain chemicals that can cause health problems when inhaled. Are scented candles any better?.
Dear EarthTalk: I just read an article that said air fresheners contain chemicals that can cause health problems when inhaled. Are scented candles any better? --Leanne Chacksfield, Cincinnati, OH Like most air fresheners, many scented candles contain and release phthalates, potentially harmful chemicals that have...
