Investigation of anion-exchange and immunoaffinity particle-loaded membranes for the isolation of charged organic analytes from water Investigation of anion-exchange and immunoaffinity particle-loaded membranes for the isolation of charged organic analytes from water

Anion-exchange and immunoaffinity particle loaded membranes (PLMs) were investigated as a mechanism for the isolation of charged organic analytes from water. Kinetic properties determined theoretically included dynamic capacity, pressure drop (ΔP), residence and diffusion times (Tr, Td), and total membrane porosity (εT). These properties were confirmed through experimental evaluation...

Relation of usage to the occurrence of cotton and rice herbicides in three streams of the Mississippi delta Relation of usage to the occurrence of cotton and rice herbicides in three streams of the Mississippi delta

During the 1995 growing season water samples were collected from three streams in the Mississippi delta and were analyzed for selected cotton and rice herbicides and metabolites. The purpose of the study was to relate the use of these herbicides to their occurrence in streams of the delta, to describe how the geochemistry of these herbicides affects their occurrence, and to report the...

Source and transport of desethylatrazine and desisopropylatrazine to groundwater of the midwestern United States Source and transport of desethylatrazine and desisopropylatrazine to groundwater of the midwestern United States

Based on usage of the parent compounds and studies of their dissipation in corn fields, atrazine (6-chloro-N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine)), cyanazine (2-[[4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino]-2-methylpropionitrile), and simazine (6-chloro-N,N'diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) are thought to be the important contributors of desethylatrazine (6-chloro...

Degradation of chloroacetanilide herbicides: The prevalence of sulfonic and oxanilic acid metabolites in Iowa groundwaters and surface waters Degradation of chloroacetanilide herbicides: The prevalence of sulfonic and oxanilic acid metabolites in Iowa groundwaters and surface waters

Water samples were collected from 88 municipal wells throughout Iowa during the summer and were collected monthly at 12 stream sites in eastern Iowa from March to December 1996 to study the occurrence of the sulfonic and oxanilic metabolites of acetochlor, alachlor, and metolachlor. The sulfonic and oxanilic metabolites were present in almost 75% of the groundwater samples and were...

Herbicides in ground water of the Midwest: A regional study of shallow aquifers, 1991-94 Herbicides in ground water of the Midwest: A regional study of shallow aquifers, 1991-94

The intensive herbicide use associated with the 'Corn Belt' marks the Midwestern United States as a region where herbicide contamination of ground water could be a problem. To better understand the regional occurrence of herbicides in shallow aquifers of the Midwest, a sampling network of 303 wells across 12 States was developed. The results documented relatively widespread, low-level

Atrazine in Source Water Intended for Artificial Ground-Water Recharge, South-Central Kansas Atrazine in Source Water Intended for Artificial Ground-Water Recharge, South-Central Kansas

Atrazine, an herbicide commonly applied to row crops, is of concern because of potential effects on water quality. This fact sheet describes atrazine in water from the Little Arkansas River in south-central Kansas. The river is being evaluated as a source of artificial recharge into the Equus Beds aquifer, which provides water for the city of Wichita.

Water-quality assessment of the Ozark Plateaus study unit, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma- fish communities in streams of the Ozark Plateaus and their relations to selected environmental factors Water-quality assessment of the Ozark Plateaus study unit, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma- fish communities in streams of the Ozark Plateaus and their relations to selected environmental factors

Fish communities from 22 reaches at 18 stations in the Ozark Plateaus were sampled in 1993, 1994, and 1995. The 18 stations were chosen to represent selected combinations of major environmental factors (geology/physiographic area, land use, and basin size). Additional physical, chemical, and biological factors also were measured for each of the 22 reaches and the influence of these...
