Chemical, biomedical and ecological studies of SRC-I materials from the Fort Lewis Pilot Plant: a status report (open access)

Chemical, biomedical and ecological studies of SRC-I materials from the Fort Lewis Pilot Plant: a status report

This document discusses studies performed with solvent refined coal (SRC) materials obtained from the Fort Lewis Pilot Plant during operation in the SRC-I mode. The development of analytical methodology is presented as well as results obtained from the application of these methods to light oil (LO), wash solvent (WS) and process solvent (PS). Results of cellular and animal studies with LO, WS and PS are included, along with a description of methods for the generation and characterization of LO and PS aerosols, and for exposing rats, mice and guinea pigs to these aerosols. The effects of SRC-I product on seed germination and plant growth which have also been studied are discussed. The SRC-I product, feed coal and the mineral residue have been analyzed for organic and inorganic constituents. The higher-boiling-point material, PS, exhibited significant mutagenic activity in the Ames assay; LO and WS were inactive. Process solvent also caused transformation of cultured Syrian hamster embryo cells. Additional chemical fractionation studies suggest that primary aromatic amines are major determinants of the observed mutagenic activity. Skin-painting studies with SRC-II naphtha, heavy distillate, shale oil and petroleum crude indicate a good correlation between the results of the cellular assays and skin carcinogenesis in …

Climate change and society: consequences of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (open access)

Climate change and society: consequences of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide

This book summarizes current knowledge of the causes of climatic change and presents a scenario of the future climate distribution that could prevail on a warmer Earth. It then focuses on the impacts of climatic change - in particular, a global warming accompanied by a shift in rainfall patterns - in such vital areas as food and fiber production, water resources, natural ecological systems, fisheries, health and disease, energy demand, and so forth. The authors discuss in detail the political, economic, social, and ethical implications of global environmental change. They also evaluate national and international strategies for mitigating the impacts of climatic change or possibly averting that change altogether.

Environmetrics of synfuels. I. Processing the automated PDP-11 data components for the UMD gasifier facility (open access)

Environmetrics of synfuels. I. Processing the automated PDP-11 data components for the UMD gasifier facility

This report summarizes the techniques and procedures used to handle automated data collected at the University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) campus coal gasification facility. This facility, which is partially funded by the Department of Energy, is being evaluated by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for its potential health and environmental effects. Automatic data collections and manually collected and sample results data are used for this assessment. A data management project at ORNL handles these and other UMD data for the Gasifiers in Industry Program (GIIP). Specifically, this report documents the procedures developed within the data management project for handling two categories of automated data: (1) process and (2) environmental. The examples included use actual data from the first one and a half years of gasifier operation.

Gravity and magnetic features and their relationship to the geothermal system in southwestern South Dakota (open access)

Gravity and magnetic features and their relationship to the geothermal system in southwestern South Dakota

An attempt is made to determine the sources that are responsible for producing geothermal anomalies observed within the southern Black Hills region. Lithologic and structural boundaries residing in the upper crust and their relationship to the geothermal system are discussed. A regional gravity survey was supplemented by a regional aeromagnetic survey.

Histopathologic, morphometric, and physiologic investigation of lungs of dogs exposed to uranium-ore dust (open access)

Histopathologic, morphometric, and physiologic investigation of lungs of dogs exposed to uranium-ore dust

The most consistent pulmonary-function change attributed to carnotite uranium-ore-dust exposure (at 15 mg/m/sup 3/, for 4 h/day, 5 days/week) is an increased slope of the single-breath N/sub 2/ washout curve, suggesting an uneven distribution of ventilation. This change was observed in dogs exposed for less than 1 year and continued through 4 years of exposure. Measurements of pulmonary resistance, after 27, 40 and 47 months exposure, showed slight age-related changes and increasing differences between control and exposed animals with duration of exposure. These two changes are suggestive of a bronchitic response, similar to the industrial bronchitis of mine workers. The most notable pulmonary lesions observed in dogs exposed for up to 4 years are: vesicular emphysema, peribronchiolitis and focal pneumoconiosis. Lesions of the major airways and upper respiratory tract, when present, were minimal in severity. Pulmonary vesicular emphysema was present in all but one of the examined dogs. The emphysema was dose-related, in that it was present only to a slight degree in dogs exposed for less than 3 years and, thereafter, increased in severity. Morphometric measurement data confirmed the value of the histopathologic grading system for the degree of emphysema. These data correlated best with the dynamic pulmonary compliance …
