Particulate emissions of tire combustion

Abstract

grant program funded by NIH P30 ES005605, the High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Facility and the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research. Many thanks to the Stone research group for always providing support and promoting a collaborative scientific environment. Specifically, I am grateful to Thilina Jayarathne and Chathurika Rathnayake for help with sample collection and analysis. Finally I would like to thank my friends and family, especially my future wife Kelly, for all their love and support through my graduate research. At times graduate school was a little rough and I could not have completed this work alone.

Ecological and human health exposure risks to heavy metals in Oji River sediments: effect of abattoir and power station

“…Piles of residue of the burnt tires are usually on site at the abattoir. Given that tires contain heavy metals including those covered in this study, these residues from burnt tires are veritable sources of the heavy metals [6,22,32]. Therefore, elevated concentration of Zn, Cr, Cu and Cd around the abattoir at location B is most likely to be due to the waste tires used as fuel for burning off the hairy skin of cows at the abattoir.…”

MicroLESA: Integrating Autofluorescence Microscopy, In Situ Micro-Digestions, and Liquid Extraction Surface Analysis for High Spatial Resolution Targeted Proteomic Studies

“…[10][11][12][13] Both of these approaches require high charge states (typically >3) for efficient peptide or protein fragmentation. 14,15 MALDI primarily produces protein ions with low charge states, usually + 1 or +2, limiting the ability to efficiently fragment and identify proteins directly from tissue. 16 To overcome this challenge, tandem may be completed using electrospray ionization (ESI) using traditional bottom-up and top-down mass spectrometry workflows.…”
