INTRODUCTION
This publication provides information about the Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) research, demonstration, training, and
fellowship awards during the period October 1976 - March 1977. It
is a companion publication to State and Local Grant Awards which
lists awards to State and Local agencies.
The data is organized into two sections:
Section One - Geographic listing by State and program.
Section Two - Grant Number Index and brief project
descriptions arranged in ascending
order of the Grant Identification
Number.
Project descriptions were, for the most part, prepared by the
grantees and are provided only for those grants administered by the
EPA Headquarters office. The inclusion of this information has proven
to be very useful from a management aspect as well as in meeting and
fulfilling requirements for providing information to the public.
The Grant Number Index is provided as an aid for cross-referencing
information between the two sections. Locating a grant number in this
index, the reader will find the name of the applicant and the State
location. By referring to that State's listing(s) in Section One,
information on that particular grant will be found.
This material was prepared by Lynn Szedon with the assistance
of Sandra Artis and Donna Whitaker. Computer programming assistance
was provided by Donald L. Thie. We have made what we feel are a few
improvements to this publication. The title, formerly the Awards
Register, Volume I, has been changed, as well as the cover design.
Other changes are under consideration for future issues as we are
continually seeking to be as responsive as possible to the needs of
our users. Any comments or criticisms should be directed to
Lynn Szedon, Grants Operations Branch (PM-216), Grants Administration
Division, on (202) 755-3370.

OTHER GRANT-RELATED INFORMATION
A brief summary of a grant project is available on the majority
of research and demonstration grants.
These summaries are available for projects that have received
Federal funding. In rare instances, a grant application may contain
privileged information and is so designated. For these, only the
award data, such as grant number, applicant name, organization,
location, grant title, amount awarded, and award date is available.
Other information may be available depending on the particular
circumstances.
The Smithsonian Science Information Exchange (SSIE), Room 300,
1730 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, receives a copy of the
summary of a grant and makes it available to the public on a fee
basis. The cost of a print-out, if the Agency is identified and the
grant or contract number is provided, costs $2.00 per grant number
with a $10.00 minimum fee. A search on a subject (topic) is $60.00
per search service for 1 to 50 titles, and an additional charge of
25C per title. A search on the investigator's name can also be
performed. All inquiries and requests for this service should be
addressed to SSIE or phone (202) 381-4211.

EPA REPORTS BIBLIOGRAPHY QUARTERLY SUPPLEMENT
(sponsored by Library Systems Branch)
The EPA Cumulative Bibliography 1970-1976 published in December
(order number PB265920, price code E^9) contains a bibliographic
citation with abstracts for reports generated by EPA and its prede-
cessor agencies and entered into the NTIS collection through 1976.
Access points to this information are by Report Title; Subject
(keyword); Corporate or Personal Author; Contract Number; and
Accession/Report Number.
Beginning in March 1977, quarterly update supplements will be published
listing and indexing EPA technical reports and journal articles entered
into the NTIS collection during the preceding quarter. An additional
index titled "Sponsoring EPA Office" is included as well. The fourth
quarterly issue will cumulate and become the annual index for the
year.
To order documents or subscriptions, contact the National Technical
Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161.
Do not order from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If what
you have ordered is in stock on hand, you should receive your order
within two weeks after it arrives at NTIS. If what you have ordered
must be reproduced from a microform, or if all the paper copies have
been sold and reprints are in process, you should receive your order
within four to six weeks. Infrequently, orders may be further delayed
by a contractor's inability to deliver to NTIS. You will be notified
if such a delay is expected.
This EPA Reports Bibliography Quarterly Supplement series is available
on annual subscription from NTIS at a cost of $45.00 for North
American Continent users (single copies, when available, are $12.50
each). For those outside the North American Continent, please write
NTIS for prices.

Reactions of possible importance in photochemical air pollution are being
investigated with a variety of techniques over a wide range of pressures
and concentrations in homogeneous and heterogeneous vapor,, liquid and
solid systems. Research includes selected aspects of the photochemistry,
spectroscopy, kinetics and mechanisms of photooxidation of common
atmospheric pollutants, including PAN, oxides of nitrogen, monocyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons, partially oxygenated hydrocarbons such as aldehydes
and ketones, alkylating agents including epoxides, hydroperoxides and
lactones, and polycyclic organic hydrocarbons. Long path (20-40 m) ir
and uv techniques are used to identify unstable intermediates and products
in the ppm range. Chemiluminescent reactions of ozone with olefins and
organic sulfides are being investigated to determine emission intensities
and the nature of the reaction processes. Applications of this phenome-
non to improved air pollution monitoring instrumentation are being studied.
The o_-nitrobenzaldehyde chemical actinometer originally developed on this
project has been field tested by federal and state agencies and continues
to be evaluated and improved.
Information derived from laboratory studies cited above is being applied
to the design and execution of cooperative smog chamber studies of
synthetic and real atmospheres. It is also being used to derive more
accurate hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon reactivity scales useful
in consideration of exhaust cont-rnl dpyin^R and fnel mndi f i rat 1 nn.s .
R800665
Air pollution, or more specifically, the suspended particulate matter or
aerosol, has dramatic effects on the optical properties of air. Visibility is
often degraded from tens or hundreds of kilometers down to a few kilometers by
the urban atmospheric aerosol. The properties of this aerosol in both urban
and rural areas is determined by the balance between sources, transport and
removal mechanisms for particles and the surrounding air. The molecular nature
and size of each individual particle; 1) is a function of source, sink and
transformation mechanisms, 2) determines in part the particle residence time and
transport distance in the atmosphere, 3) controls the particle response to changes
in temperature and/or relative humidity, 4) determines each particle contribution
to integral aerosol effect such as visibility reduction or human health impairment.
The proposed research will include analysis of existing and future data, field
experiments, laboratory experiments to verify existing techniques and the develop-
ment of new methods as needed to describe the physical and chemical nature of the
aerosol as related to sources, transport and effects. This type of description of
the aerosol and its effects is necessary for a rational attack on the visibility
problem even on such basic levels as assessing the degree of visibility reduction
due to man, and choosing the physical scale that must be considered in describing
the system.

It has been the belief of our Research Group that an understanding of the
smog precursors and its control can be most effectively achieved by the integrated
use of smog chamber data, photochemical modeling and aerometric measurements.
We have discovered that direct and simple application of current smog chamber
data to real atmospheric conditions is difficult at best. This is because 1^
oxidant yields in chambers are strongly dependent on wall characteristics,
nitrogen-aldehydes chemistry, chamber light intensities and experimental
temperatures and 2^) the dynamic processes of injection, dilution and mixing
in real atmospheres are not well represented by just irradiating morning urban
concentrations in a smog chamber. It is our hope that current and continued
refinements in our photochemical model will make it possible to better
quantify the most important regions of hydrocarbon NO -oxidant control strategy
diagrams. Some of the major improvements in the model will come from the results
of our proposed smog experiments which will isolate the influence of nitric
and nitrous acid, aldehyde, PAN, carbon monoxide, aromatics and less reactive
hydrocarbon materials on smog systems. Since most of this work will be done on
static smog chamber systems, continued effort will be made to simulate real
atmospheric smog conditions by using sophisticated patterns of continued
injection and dilution in the chamber. Simultaneously, static analog experiments
will be conducted with these very complex experiments. This information will then
be used to reconstruct modeling results so that the derived control strategy
relationships will have implicit atmospheric relevance.

Objectives of this project during the third budget period.
This program has designed and built an outdoor chamber facility for the investi-
gation of aerosol formation processes similar to those occurring in the ambient
atmosphere. During the second budget period, experimental methods and procedures
were developed or adapted for this project and an experimental program is now in
progress. The overall objectives of this budget period will be to investigate gas
to particle conversion processes. This will be accomplished by conducting chamber
experiments in three areas: sulfate aerosol formation in hydrocarbon-NOx systems,
SO2~NOX plume systems and systems containing metallic seed nuclei. During this
coining period, additional experiments will be conducted on this system. Aerosol
parameters to be obtained include condensation nuclei count, size distributions by
electric aerosol analyzer and filter samples for sulfate analysis by x-ray fluore-
scence and flash vaporization flame photometric detection.
The hydrocarbon-NOx-SC>2 system is an analog of aerosol formation in urban areas
with multiple sources of pollution, stationary and mobile. The second area of
research involves the SC>2-NOX system as an analog of the processes occurring in a
power plant plume. A series of experiments with various initial concentrations of
S02, NO, N02 and water vapor will be conducted.
The third major area of research will be generation of aerosols in the presence
of seed nuclei. Existing aerosols provide an alternate oxidation process for
conversion of S02 to sulfate. Metallic nuclei will be introduced into the chamber
and the size distribution will be determined, then SO2 will be introduced and
evolution of the aerosol will be measured.

Devices to provide early warning of potential spills of impounded hazardous
materials will be developed and demonstrated. The technique to be used is
based upon the detection of stress waves (acoustic emissions) that are
generated by the interparticle movement of the earthen dike material as it
reacts to accomodate the applied stress imposed by the pressure of the
stored hazardous materials. The acoustic emissions are most intense
during change in stress loading but also continue during the periods of
relaxation (accomodation and particle rearrangement) that follow stress
application. The behavior (amplitude, frequency and attenuation, etc.)
of such stress waves has been correlated with stress level for many types
of soils used to construct earthen dams.
The project is divided into two consecutive phases, the first of which in-
cludes laboratory studies on soil samples and preliminary field testing on
actual earthen dikes. The second phase continues the laboratory work and
expands the field testing to a number of dikes over a long time period. The
product of this project will be a report and a portable, easy-to-use, early
warning device to identify prone-to-failure dikes, or sections thereof, and
thereby to warn of potential hazardous material spill situations.

The nuclear technique of proton scattering will be
developed into a broad range quantitative analysis method
for air particulate matter for all elements up to potassium.
Data acquisition and data evaluation times as short as 5
minutes are an objective. Proton scattering spectra and
cross sections have been determined using 16 MeV protons
from a Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. A computer program
is being developed to utilize it to quantitatively analyze
the elemental content of air particulate samples.

Purpose of study is to determine basis for stream standards for cyanide relating
to fishes and invertebrates. Further objectives are to determine effects of
temperature, oxygen levels, and other pollutants on fish sensitivity. Proposed
work for the final segment of the cyanide study will include: (a) completion
of temperature bioassay series to determine effects on sensitivity of two fish
species; (b) chronic tests on bluegills and brook trout to determine success
of spawning and growth; (c) acute and chronic bioassay of cyanide combined with
zinc, ammonia, and phenol; (d) determination of photodecomposition of ferro-
cyanide; (e) chronic bioassays will be done on two invertebrates. All work is
in flow-through type apparatus using laboratory water.

The Congress is the fifth in an international series that began in Burlington,
Vermont, in 1958 and has continued at Harrogate (England), Cortina (Italy), and
Evian (France). The Congress is interdisciplinary in nature and encompasses the
physical, chemical, biological, and medical aspects of radiation research. While
the focus is on fundamental research in these areas, emphasis is also placed on
research in radiotherapy, power generation, and the environment.

data for a practical lidar system which can be used for monitoring NO^ SO2 and 03 concen-
trations produced by stationary sources and present in ambient conditions. 2. Approach;
Experiments will be carried out to determine the most effective system parameters for
frequency doubling in conjunction with the simultaneous two-wavelength operation. Two
different approaches using single crystals will be examined. The techniques developed for
simultaneous two-wavelength operation for NO2 measurements will be extended to SO^ and 03.
3. Progress thus far in the second year has resulted in field measurements for NC^ using
the simultaneous mode of operation9 which clearly demonstrated its advantages in terms of
increased accuracy and elimination of errors due to temporal changes. The field tests
detected ambient NO^ concentrations at ranges of 5 kilometers. Using the frequency doubled
laser output, preliminary field tests for SO^ measurements were also carried out at ranges
of approximately 1 kilometer.

Objectives
The objectives of the proposed research are to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
UW Electrostatic Scrubber for controlling the emissions of fine oarticles from coal-
fired power plants.
Approach
The research approach includes constructing a 1,000 acfm pilot plant electrostatic
scrubber in a 40 ft. trailer. The pilot plant in the trailer will be transported
to coal-fired power plants where tests will be conducted concerning the efficiency
of collection the particulate air pollutants from the exhaust gases.
Current Progress^
Tests have been conducted on 140 and 1,000 acfm electrostatic scrubber pilot plants
using OOP aerosols. The system has shown very good collection efficiencies for
even the fine particles.

The overall goal of the program, of which this study is a part, is to assess the
effect of background ozone on urban ozone concentrations. In this study air quality
parameters will be monitored at or near the top of a skyscraper in New York City,
Urban air is trapped by the surface inversion which forms through the evening hours
and persists into early morning. The site will often be above this inversion layer
and the data collected will be indicative of the quality of the air which will mix
with the trapped air as the inversion is destroyed. Of special interest are the levels
of ozone and ozone precursors in this upper air. The effect of these on the urban
ozone levels will be assessed. Data collected at the site will include ozone, nitric
oxide, nitrogen dioxide, methane, total hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, condensation
nuclei, dewpoint and temperature. Concurrent studies will be providing data about the
surface air quality within the urban area as well as at background stations.

The project has two objectives. The first is to determine the suitability of the ash
fraction of reclaimed deinking sludge after destructive heat treatment (wet oxidation),
as a filler material in paper manufactured on a model paper machine at Western
Michigan Oniversity. When high grade printed papers are deinked in the process
of their preparation for recycle approximately 20 to 40% of the recycled paper
weight is accounted for by inert filler materials consisting of clay and titanium dioxide
These inert filler materials account for as much as 60 to 80% of the sludge resulting
from the treatment of deinking process effluents. Being impregnated with ink,
the filler materials are not suitable for direct reuse in paper making and conventional
incineration alters the chemical composition resulting in a product with extreme
abrassive properties. Laboratory studies indicate wet oxidation produces a material
satisfactory for reuse in paper making, therefore, offering an alternative to serious
land disposal problems for waste treatment sludge from this process.
Non-destructive heat treatment has been shown to be an effective means of sludge con-
ditioning to permit mechanical dewatering. The second objective of this project is to
examine in the laboratory the benefits of heat treatment on sludge de water ability of
hydrous sludges consisting principally of groundwood fines, those from chemically
coagulated effluents from biological treatment and those from chemical-physical treat-
ment of process water. All are charactistically extremely difficult to mechanically
dewater, a necessary process in several forms of ultimate disposal. It is likely that th
optimum form of conditioning may be a combination of chemical and heat treatment.
This will also be investigated in the laboratory.

The objective of the study is to evaluate long path laser monitoring of ambient
level air pollution. The lasers which have been considered are semi-conductor diode
and sequentially step tuned carbon dioxide types. Systems employing both types were
tested during the summer of 1974 in St. Louis in connection with the Regional Air
Pollution Study (RAPS). The diode laser system was tested in St. Louis during 1975
and will be tested again in 1976.
It is expected that the diode laser system will be used in St. Louis during 1976
for pollutant variability.
A step tuned laser system will be tested in Syracuse, New York and demonstrated
to various Environmental Protection Agency groups in the spring of 1977.

Preparation procedures of BSA-Kelevan have been perfected, and samples prepared
for use as antigen for rabbit immunization, A preparation high in content of
covalently linked Kelevan was used for production of a highly active antibody
toward fibrinogen-Kel.
The Kelevan active antibody preparation was used in biochemical studies of ATPase
inhibition and reactivation using fire ant head and dog brain homogenate fractions.
Preliminary results are very promising and show quite definitely that Kepone and
DCPD inhibition of ATPase activities is reversible.
The kinetics of the reactivation process will be determined, including the mole
capacity of the Ig fraction for Kepone and DCPD. Studies will be conducted to
determine the relative affinity of the Ig fraction for Kepone compared to the affinity
of purified ATPase for Kepone. The reactivation of Kepone inhibited ATPase
activities will be compared for different tissues from a single animal and for the
same tissue from different animals. Finally efforts will be initiated to covalently
attach antibody to a solid support system.

A wide variety of environmental chemicals including insecticides
have been shown to alter the activity of the microsomal enzyme aryl hy-
drocarbon hydroxylase. This effect of insecticides may influence the
carcinogenicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzo(a)pyrene)
Information is needed on the carcinogenicity of the widely used insecti-
cides, and the influence of exposure to these insecticides on the meta-
bolism and carcinogenic action of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This
study has the goal of determining whether exposure to low levels of the
organophosphate insecticide parathion is carcinogenic, and if there is a
significant interaction between this insecticide and the carcinogen
benzo(a)pyrene. The effect of dietary feeding of parathion on the meta-
bolism of benzo(a)pyrene will be measured in vitro with the view toward
determining whether an observed effect may be expected to influence the
carcinogenicity of benzo(a)pyrene. Our research has been extended to
investigate also the effects of other chemical prototype insecticides,
such as the organochlorine (e.g. toxaphene) and carbamate (e.g. car-
baryl) type compounds. Benzo(a)pyrene will be administered to female
Ha/ICR and A/HeJ strains of mice that are highly susceptible to stomach
and lung tumors respectively. The data obtained from these studies
might provide some basis for evaluating the potential hazards to public
health of combined exposure to insecticides and carcinogenic polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons in our environment.

The primary objective of this project is to measure the emission of sulfuric acid
aerosol from a population of catalyst vehicles as they accumulate mileage in normal use.
At approximately 5,000 mile intervals, each vehicle undergoes a comprehensive emissions
test consisting of the following sequence: (1) a 1975 Federal emissions test (FTP),
(2) a one-hour 50 mph steady cruise, and (3) a series of five tests following a "sulfate
driving cycle" developed by the EPA. In addition to measuring carbon monoxide, hydro-
carbons, nitrogen oxides and S02, a dilution tunnel with iso-kinetic sample probes are
used to collect filter samples for sulfuric acid and total particulate mass measure-
ments from each test segment. Analysis of particulate sulfate mass is by the barium
chloranilate (BCA) method, and X-ray fluroescence for mass emission rates of ten
selected elements: lead, sulfur, phosphorous, platinum, calcium, silicone, copper,
aluminum, zinc and iron. Fuel economy is measured by carbon balance technique, and
between test intervals by an in-line totalizing fuel meter installed on each vehicle.
Tank fuel is collected at each test and analyzed for trace components, especially sulfur
content. Prior to each test, each vehicle is diagnostically examined for tune-up
condition. Over 130 completed test sequences on 50 cars have been completed in this
second year of a three-year project. Under a modification to the scope of work, real-
time analyses of emissions before and after the catalyst are being added to the original
test procedure. These data will permit a more detailed analysis of catalyst and engine
performance and their interplay as it affects overall emissions.
The proposed third year effort will include (1) continuance of testing on existing
fleet, (2) addition of real-time data acquisition to measure converter performance, and
(3) expansion of fleet to include 1977 model year vehicles and increase to fleet size.

The objective of this research and development program is to optimize the presently
investigated cellulose pretreatment and acid hydrolysis techniques and to develop
the data necessary for design and scale up of the most promising system for a 1-ton
cellulose day pilot plant for the utilization of the cellulose values from solid
wastes by conversion to glucose. A two phase study is proposed to attain this ob-
jective. Phase I involves the experimental optimization of pretreatment and acid
hydrolysis technology and the development of data which will identify the most pro-
mising system for design and scale up to the pilot plant size on a cost effective
basis. All process steps will be studied with particular attention to improving upon
and rationalizing current procedures for glucose product recovery. Glucose sample
products will be submitted to the contracting agency for study and evaluation.
In Phase II the data necessary for design and scale up of the waste cellulose conversio
process under study will be developed so that a complete engineering and economic
study of the proposed 1-ton cellulose/day pilot plant for utilizaton of the cellulose
values of various solid waste feedstocks by conversion to glucose. The waste cellulose
feedstocks will be selected from agricultural, industrial, and municipal sources. The
design study will include estimates of process investment and operating costs as well
as a technical and economic comparison of the process with other methods of glucose
production. Recommendation will be made for further actions to best implement the

fate of hazardous materials in the near-shore and near-bottom aquatic and
sedimentary environments. Three subprojects on numerical modeling have been
initiated. These are concerned with the Cleveland Harbor, the Western Basin
of Lake Erie, and a simplified two-dimensional model of stratified flow. Field
observations have been made in Cleveland Harbor and the Western Basin. Labora-
tory and field studies have also been initiated to study sediment-water ex-
change processes. The emphasis is on understanding qualitatively and quanti-
tatively the relative contributions to transfer from the sediments of resuspension
and deposition, molecular diffusjien^biological reworking of sediments and

(1) Research objectives are to develop the theory of the sampling strategy optimiza-
tion procedure described below and to apply the approach to trend detection and
eutrophication studies of Lake Michigan.
(2) This approach exploits the power of the Kalman Filter, an estimation procedure
used widely in aerospace control systems. The filter combines both measure-
•ment and model information to estimate a variable of interest. If the variances
of measurements and model parameters are known, then the variance of the
Kalman estimate can be computed before measurements are actually taken. This
project has considered the minimization of measurement cost subject to con-
straints on the estimate variance.
(3) An algorithm has been developed to solve this minimization problem. It solves a
sequence of linearized problemss each by the methods of linear programming.
The problem of estimating long-term trends in Lake Michigan pollutants is con-
sidered in detail. Lakewide average spring concentrations of chloride and total
phosphorus are the variables to be estimated. Models have been hypothesized
and parameter accuracy assessed. Lakewide average measurements and annual
tributary load measurements are both optimized. Plans include application of the
algorithm to this system and to a second problem involving assessment of the
eutrophic state of the lake via seasonal sampling.

The method of digital photo electron autocorrelation technique in Laser Poppler S
Spectroscopy (IDS) is applied in determining essentially the size of particulates in
aerosols and hydrosls in the laboratory. The application of the technique in the
characterisation of the scattered and transmitted light will be investigated. The
results will be compared with the relatively unexplored but reliable conventional
scattering measurements based on Specific turbidity and Turbididity spectrum. The
validity of the results will be further tested by Electron microscopic measurements.
The developement of the above methods and their relative merits with respects to
other rountine methods in their application to the in-situ monitoring of particulates
in stationary source emission will be studied and critically discussed. The results
obtained by the proposed research are expected to indicate greater accuracy, speed and
ease of measurement, which makes the technique employed potentially important in the
field of pollution monitoring, especially in the determination of particulate size
in smoke plumes.

minute electrolytic unit was constructed and placed in a manufacturing plant and
eight batches (about 3000 gal each) of the plant oily wastewater were processed
through the unit. The oil content of the processed water generally was below
50 ppm and in several cases below 10 ppm. The second year of the program will

Arsenic and selenium, as set in 1962 by the United States Public Health Service,
are permitted to exist in water supplies at concentrations less than or equal to
0.05 mg/1 and 0.01 mg/1, respectively. Water containing concentrations greater than
these amounts present grounds for rejection, The objectives of this project is to
determine human body burdens of arsenic and selenium after consumption of water from
local water supplies containing these elements at concentrations greater than or
equal to the above levels. Results of these determinations will be correlated with
specific disease indices as determined by questionnaire.
The approach taken will be to establish control and experimental groups for
varying intakes of the two elements. The control group will consist of those
individuals consuming water containing arsenic and selenium below or equal to the
drinking water standard with the experimental group consisting of those individuals
consuming water at concentrations higher than prescribed. Hair, urine, and blood
will be analyzed for the two elements on both study groups. Also food and autopsy
samples from the study areas will be analyzed. Results obtained from the above
analyses will be correlated with data obtained from a history of various diseases
as determined by the questionnaire and from vital statistics data of each area.

The atmospheric fates of many of the halogenated and nonhalogenated pollutants
proposed here for investigative study are poorly understood. Significant quantities of
these chemicals are emitted into the atmosphere, and the sources of these chemicals are
primarily anthropogenic. The possibility of stratospheric ozone destruction by stable
halocarbons and the toxicity and carcinogenicity of many other halocarbons make con-
tinued research urgent. The amount of these chemical pollutants in the atmosphere is
rapidly increasing and is a cause for concern. Halocarbons have also been used as
tracers that provide an opportunity to understand pollutant transport from urban cen-
ters. More recently, reacting halocarbons have provided important information on the
chemistry of the natural troposphere.
The overall objective of our three-year research effort has been to determine the
distribution, sources, and sinks of important halogenated and nonhalogenated pollutants
that have an effect on the stratospheric ozone. During the first two years of research
we have developed the urban-nonurban relationships of halocarbon pollutants based on a
number of field studies on the west coast. Extensive southern hemispheric data has also
been collected. In the third year our emphasis will be on collecting additional data
from a number of both clean and contaminated sites. The entire data base collected to
date will be analyzed and a comprehensive final report will be prepared. The growth
patterns of atmospheric halocarbons will be quantitatively determined. Global emissions
data for halocarbons will be used to determine halocarbon atmospheric lifetimes. Methyl
chloroform data will be analyzed to determine hydroxyl radical concentrations in the
troposphere.

Three pilot infiltration-percolation basins of about 1/6 acre
each have been constructed with underdrains at a depth of 2\ feet in
silty loam soil. The normal ground water depth is about 4 feet.
Stabilization pond effluent is applied at weekly intervals in quan-
tities equivalent to a depth of 18 or 24 inches. Samples collected
from the influent and effluent drain of each basin are analysed for
BODr, suspended solids; ammonia, nitrate and kjeldahl nitrogen; ortho
and total phosphorus, specific conductance and fecal coliforms.
Infiltration rates are determined using automatic float recorders in
each basin. Groundwater levels and quality are also monitored for the
area. Specific project objectives are:
1. Demonstrate the use of infiltration-percolation land
disposal as a means of up-grading existing secondary
treatment to meet new effluent standards...
2. Determine acceptable loading rates for both a scarified
and undisturbed soil for climatic conditions similar to
those at Brookings, South Dakota.

A comprehensive study is being conducted to characterize the occurrence of
sulfur in aerosol particles at sampling stations in locations between the mid-
continent and eastern seaboard of continental U.S.A. Additional remote stations
in marine and continental areas are also being operated to provide important '
background information. Emphasis is being placed on the concentrations of sulfur
in relation to other elements present in the aerosol and on the time variability
of these concentrations with a time resolution of 2 hours. Sampling is being
carried out continuously at heights from ground level to 30 meters by a unique
time sequence filter sampler which has been developed at Florida State University.
Additional samples are planned to be taken during intensive periods during the
year by cascade impactors at about five of the filter sampling sites, using cascade
impactors for determination of the particle size distribution of sulfur and related
elements. Elemental analysis is performed using proton induced X-ray emission,
a highly sensitive technique permitting both the extremely short 2-hour time resolu'
tion on a continuous basis for filter samples as well as the size resolution of
particles as small as 0.25 pm diameter by cascade impactors. By means of the
combination of sampling techniques, the impact of fossil fuel combustion and other
anthropogenic sources of sulfur on the natural characteristics of the atmosphere
may be precisely determined.

its subsequent biotransformations.
(2) Study uptake by plants and behavior in soils of inorganic divalent
mercury.
(3) Study effects of stack emissions upon primary aspects of photosynthesis
and photosynthetically-linked nitrogen fixation.
Current Progress;
A closed system has been developed whereby plants can be exposed to
regulated low concentrations of radioactively labeled mercury vapor.
Wheat, corn, and sunflower plants have been shown to absorb and retain
metallic mercury vapor at these low concentrations.
Leaves have the greatest affinity for mercury. For the period of
exposure (5 hours), and the concentrations examined (0.9 to 5.3 yg m~3)f
leaf uptake was linearly related to concentration. In light, mercury
uptake per unit of vapor concentration was less in corn than wheat and
sunflower, which were similar. All species displayed a marked reduction
in uptake in darkness. The absorbed mercury had a low mobility within
plants.

During the first year of this grant, we have studied in a preliminary way three
compounds from the original group in both rats and monkeys The objective., of the
second year will be: 1) to complete a 90 day study of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene in
h u monL^s with special emphasis on the effects of this compound on enzyme indue-
tion and metabolism; 2) more detailed studies of the other compounds included in our
quarterly reports. These data should be of assistance in defining certain important
metabolic parameters of these compounds.

The objectives of this work are to continue a study of the
occurrence and toxicity of various contaminants and groups of contaminants
found in renovated wastewaters. The study will involve the use of
mammalian cells (platelets and neutrophils) to study the toxicity of
concentrates and various fractions of the concentrates when added to
cell cultures in vitro. The testing of cytotoxicity of the concentrates
will serve as primary toxicity screens, furthermore by separating the
concentrate into various chemical classes such as polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc., the various chemical groups
can be tested as groups for toxicity. Thus the cytotoxicity tests will
serve as indicators of the most important chemical groups and compounds.
The work will consist of the use of various techniques to concentrate
contaminants in renovated wastewater. These concentrates will then be
tested for toxicity to the cell cultures (both in terms of functional
effects and effects on energy metabolism)« The concentrates will be
further fractionated and tested again for toxicity. The cells to be
used will be obtained from both animals and human volunteers.

This project will seek to Identify, organize and interpret technical and
commercial literature resources on oil/water separation. Separations are to be
classified on.two bases: the physical characteristics of an oil/water mixture
(solution) and the concept(s) of the separation device or process. Systems will
be referred to a two-dimensional matrix, allowing multiple entry, with physical
properties and separation concepts as indices. Annotation will attempt to assemble
detailed information on design considerations and operating characteristics of
separation devices and nrn~-ases.

1. Objectives. To ascertain the biological and chemical responses of a tropical
coral reef/estuary ecosystem to the termination of sewage stress. To what
extent and at what rate does the ecosystem return to pre-stress conditions?
2. Approach. Field monitoring arid field and laboratory experiments are being
performed.
We have 1+ years of time-series pre-cliversion baseline data, and we anticipate
collecting 1+ years of post diversion recovery data. We will then be able to
document the recovery characteristics of the ecosystem and derive predictive
ability therefrom. We have published several papers andhave prepared two
annual reports to date.

The objectives of this study are (1) to determine the quantity of enterovirus which
must be ingested with drinking water to produce an infection, the "Oral Infectious
Dose" (DID), and (2) to determine how many OID's must be ingested with drinking
water to produce disease, the "Oral Pathogenic Dose" (OPD). Swine have been chosen
as the best available representatives of man for "such a study; they and their homo-
logous enteroviruses comprise-our model system. Early-weaned pigs (3-4 weeks old,
15-20. Ib.) are tested to determine that they are neither infected nor immune to the
virus with which they are challenged. They are housed in individual isolators and
challenged with measured doses of virus in drinking water. Starting with one tissue
culture dose (plaque-forming unit) per animal, challenge doses are being increased
with each successive cycle of experimental animals until the OID and the OPD have
been reached. The OID seems significantly to exceed one plaque-forming unit; path-
ogenesis has yet to occur. Once experiments with one virus serotype have been com-
pleted, a second challenge.virus will be used in a second series to confirm the initial
findings.

The objective of the proposed work is the development of a manage-
ment strategy for dealing with variations in internal process control
losses which involves (a) the characterization of raw waste variability
from selected sources at a number of mills, (b) the selection of suit-
able process loss detection instrumentation, (c) assembly of computa-
tional programs and computer hardware for conduct of a field demonstration
of the application of this management strategy and (d) installation of
the equipment and conduct of the field demonstration as a means of
assessing the effectiveness of the management strategy.
The proposed project is of interest to those in the pulp and paper
industry attempting to manage intermittent process control losses
through a system of alternatives such as collection with return to
process or tailored discharge to a treatment plant.

Catalytic hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) reactions for
the removal of organic sulfur and nitrogen compounds from liquid fuels are becoming
increasingly important as strict sulfur and nitrogen oxide emission standards are set,
and "dirtier" oils derived from shale and coal attain wider use.
A quantitative description of the interferences between these two reactions, which
have only recently begun to be studied, is necessary for optimal design of commercial
processing units. To date, we have studied thiophene, pyridine and quinoline as
representative sulfur and nitrogen compounds in a continuous-flow microreactor to
model basic interactions. Pyridine inhibits thiophene HDS under all experimental
conditions used. Sulfur compounds exhibit a dual effect on the HDN of pyridine; a
reaction rate inhibition gives way to an enhancement at more severe reaction con-
ditions. Theoretical considerations have been presented to account for each of these
effects. Reactions of more complex compounds and their interactive reaction kinetics
are currently under investigation.

Overall, goals of this program have been to demonstrate the feasibility of using
coherent anti-Stokes Roman spectroscopy to identify pollutiants in dilute (micromolar)
aqueous solutions and to automate its use in conjunction with a liquid chromatograpg.
At the present time, efforts are divided almost equally among three aspects:
automation, chromatogrpahy and spectroscopy. With regard to automatL on, construction
of the hardware for interfacing is preceding well and is expected to be. finished
early in 1978. Then, writing and debugging of software will be started. Because
programming will be done in real-time BASIC, for which many of the assembly-language
service routines are already available, it should be possible to develop and test
modules of the overall operating program relatively easily. The other major aspects ,
the chromatography and the spectroscopy will concentrate upon one or two typical
polychalorinated bipheny is for use as test solutes. If time remains, a typic&l
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon, nitrosamine, and carbamate, will be included.

The basic objectives of the proposed study are: (L) to determine the minimum
human oral infective dose of Sabin. type 1 poliovirus strain in infants, (2) define
the age specific rate of acquisition of antibodies to a number of important entero-
viruses in young children with similar socioeconomic backgrounds who have different
drinking water sources, (3) determine by serologic testing the incidence of entero-
virus infections in children who participate in swimming classes at urban beaches
and pools and compare to a control group engaged in non-swimming team sports, and
(4) determine the frequency of recent exposure to recreational waters by children
seeking medical attention with confirmed enteroviral illness and compare to a control
group being seen for non-infectious problems. Data obtained from this study will
indicate whether: (1) infants can be experimentally infected with very low oral
doses of enterovirus, (2) children with similar socioeconomic backgrounds who are
exposed to different types of drinking and recreational water sources acquire
enterovirus infections at different rates, (3) children who swim frequently at beaches
or pools acquire more infections than children who participate in non-swimining teari
;;:> rets. an-i (4) children with enteroviral illnesses hava recently had greater
frequency of swimming than children who did :.iot aequira enteroviral illness during

A number of metallic ions - chromium, copper, cobalt, mercury,
molybdenum, nickel etc., interfere in the determination of total arsenic
by the silver diethyldithiocarbamate (Standard Methods, 1971). Usual.y
these ions are present in low concentration in natural waters and pose no
problem, but in the industrial waste discharges, the concentration of the
these ions is intollerable for the accurate evaluationof arsenic.
The proposed research will study the range of ionic interfering and
will develop a method for quantitative separation of arsenic from such
ions. Two approaches will be tried for eventual selection of one.
I. The arsenic will be reduced to arsenic (III) , trichloride by
cuprous chloride in the hydrochloric acid solution. The arsenic (III)
trichloride will be separated by distillation and arsenic determined in
the distillate by SDDC (Standard Methods, 1971).
II. Arsenic will be oxidized by nitric-acid and potassium bromide and
the excess oxidant destroyed by evaporation to dryness. The residue will
be dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid. Arsenic will be separated by
eluting this solution through a column of cation exchange resin in the
hydrogen form. The arsenic will be determined in the purged liquid by
the SDDC method (Standard Methods, 1971).

Supersaturation of air in natural waters either by hydroelectric
plants or thermal effluents is becoming an increasing environmental
problem and has already accounted for large mortalities of anandromous
fish in the northwestern United States. Increasing development of
hydroelectric and/or nuclear plants as a result of increased energy
needs can be expected to increase this problem, definition of which
requires less specialized, easily available analytical techniques.
The methods currently available for measuring and/or monitoring
total dissolved gas pressure in liquids, while accurate and reliable,
are expensive, require specialists for operation, and are not suitable
for continuous unattended monitoring.
The objective of the project is the design and development of
simple, inexpensive instrumentation using the existing principle of
a diffusion membrane and electronic pressure transducer to measure
and record total dissolved gas pressures. Alternatives for membrane
materials, configurations and mechanical interfaces and signal analysis
will be explored, constructed and field tested.

The objective of this project is to apply ion exchange to the determination of trace
metal ions at submicromolar concentration levels. Two methods are being investigated.
(1) Trace ions in a sample donor solution are concentrated by loading upon a pellicu-
lar ion exchanger, and these areeluted or stripped into an acceptor solution at an
enhanced concentration level so that they can be more easily measured. In studies
with Cu(II), enhancements over 100-fold have been obtained that are in accord with
the theoretical Donnen enhancement. (2) In another phase of this project, the
kinetic and equilibrium properties of the copper ion-selective electrode are being
investigated in the submicromolar concentration region. When they have become
elucidated and measurable, these properties may serve to characterize the electrode,
or they may have analytical usefulness.
Keywords: Ion exchange, trace metal ions, copper ion, ion-selective electrode,
speculation.

I propose to study the effect environmental contaiminants--particularly at subclinical
doses—will have on cell-mediated immunity and to explore possible mechanisms of
alteration by observing characteristics of macrophages and lymphocytes. Several
different cell-mediated tests will be utilized and subclinical doses of the
contaminants will be administered. Lead will be examined initially, but the effect
of other heavy metals and insecticides will be maeasured should lead alter the
immune response in mice.
Lead acetate will be administered in the drinking water of mice for prolonged periods
so there will be a gradual accumulation simulating natural conditions. Kidneys
will be analyzed for content of lead to determine actual concentration and histopathology
will determine alterations that may occur from exposure. We will endeavor or indirect
sensitization of mice with Bacillus CalTnette-"-Guerin (BCG); possible decrease of
phagocytosis of macrophages via measurement using opsonized sheep red blood cells
(SRBC); possible suppression of T lymphocyte activity by injecting footpads and
measuring CMI; possible suppression of T cell helper function in humoral antibody
response and measure the effect of macrophage helper function.
If low Iwvels of environmental contaminants render the hos tmore susceptible to cell-
meidated immunity, then permissible levels of these compounds for humans should be
re-examined.

The objectives are:
1. Conduct a comparative survey of organic residues of drinking water using both
bacterial and tissue culture systems for in vitro detection of active mutageus and
carcinogens.
2. Analyze pathways of metabolite activation for mutagenesis/carcino-
genesis using the 2 in vitro detector systems.
3. Study the modes of action of certain carcinogens and carcinogen metabolites
in bacterial DNA metabolism and in the mechanism for transformation of tissue culture
cells.
lj. To analyze samples of processed drinking water for mammalian cell toxicity and
bacterial mutagenicity.
Bacterial assay system is the Ames tester set of Salmonella typhimurium, using
rat microsomal preparations. Mammalian cell studies employ 3T3 and 101% cells in
analyses of toxicity, unscheduled DNA synthesis, and the effect of test mixtures and
compounds as carcinogens or co-carcinogens as measured by transformation. A set of 5
previously identified organic constituents of drinking water are being examined for
metabolic activation. The compounds are being tested as toxic substances per se, as
precursors capable of metabolic activation to more toxic, mutagenic, or carcinogenic
metabolites, and as inducers of hepatic metabolism.
Samples tested are drinking water, reverse osmosis concentrates, organic solvent
extracts of such concentrates, and concentrates of drinking water obtained by experi-
mental processing methods.

The objective of this study is to critically evaluate the tentative Standard
Methods procedures for concentrating and detecting enteric viruses in large
volumes of drinking water and other finished waters. The evaluation of the
procedures is being done with a total of nine different viruses representing
the four major enteric virus groups. These viruses are: poliovirus type 1,
coxsackieviruses A9 and B3, echovirus 7, bovine enterovirus type 1, reovirus
type 3, adenovirus type 1, simian virus 11 and Minute Virus of Mice. In a
later phase of the evaluation, mixtures of naturally occurring enteric
viruses obtained from wastewater will also be utilized. The four different
types of microporous filters that are currently recommended as virus adsorbents
are being simultaneously evaluated using 100 gallon volumes of tapwater
experimentally contaminated with low levels of the test viruses. All
aspects of the tentative Standard Methods procedure are being investigated,
including primary virus adsorption, primary virus elution and reconcentration.
If the presently recommended tentative Standard Methods procedures for
concentrating and detecting enteric viruses in finished waters are found to
be incapable of efficiently recovering certain enteric viruses, then modifi-
cations of the methodology will be investigated and evaluated.

The objectives of this project are to (a) measure denitrification in a field soil
directly from the fluxes of N2 and N20 at the soil surface, (b) compare denitrifica-
tion obtained from N2 and N20 gas fluxes with denitrification obtained by difference,
and (c) measure the amount of denitrification from an applied inorganic fertilizer
source as affected by an actively growing crop or manure amendment, water content,
and temperature of a field soil. Denitrification will be determined directly from
field-measured gas concentration gradients and diffusion coefficients of N2 and N20
gases evolved from nitrate fertilizer labeled with 15N. Soil, grass, and leachate
samples will be analyzed to determine the amount of N immobilization in soil, plant
uptake, and leaching loss in order to calculate denitrification by difference. The
results of this research will be used to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of
using a direct determination of denitrification and will give results on the amount
and dynamics of denitrification under field conditions.

The proposed research will investigate the effects of 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,3,7,8-
tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, and hexachlorobenzene in the adult male albino rat.
Potential antifertility effects, and the reversibility of these effects, will be
determined by twelve week feeding studies with subsequent mating and by daily oral
intubation with serial mating. The mutagenic potential will be assessed by the classi-
cal rat dominant lethal assay. To determine the mode of action of these agents, the
integrity of the pltuitary-gonadal endocrine system will be assessed by monitoring LH,
FSH, and testosterone levels at weekly intervals during chronic oral administration.
In addition, the ability of these agents to penetrate the blood-testicular barrier (BTB)
will be assessed by rete testis cannulation and efferent duct ligation experiments.
The mechanism of penetration will be determined in vitro (i.e. active or passive). If
these agents traverse the BTB, their effects on DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in the
developing spermatogenic cells will be determined. These data will provide a basis for
the establishment of a safe intake level using reproductive performance as a sensitive
index of safety.

tinuous and intermittent exposures) and both visible and subtle effects on some
important crop and tree species; b) To develop and describe the range of visible
symptoms induced on different plants by the acid aerosol; c) To determine the
environmental conditions under which maximum injury is observed and d) To develop
a catalog of plants sensitive, intermediate and resistant to HjSOr aerosol based
on comparative response.
(2) Plants will be raised under greenhouse conditions and at different stages of growth,
will be exposed to different concentrations x durations of H^SO, aerosol in special
tubular, all-glass exposure chambers. The system will alow simultaneous exposure
of one branch of a plant to the aerosol in an exposure tube and the opposite branch
of the same plant to water vapor in another exposure tube (check). H-SO. aerosol
will be generated through a positive air pressure system mixing water-saturated
filtered air with SO .
Parameters such as temperature and re'.dtive humidity will be controlled and monitore
continuously. Acid aerosol concentration will be measured about every 15 minutes
using an ultrasonic transducer - Coulometry System through Gran's plots. Data will
be acquired through a computerized acquisition system and will be analyzed with a
CYBER-74 computer. All facilities except the tubular glass exposure chamber are
available at this time at the University of Minnesota.

aerosol sensitive plant species, to simultaneous exposure to threshold dosages of
H SO, aerosol and varying concentrations of NH . Environmental conditions used
win 1 be congenial for acid aerosol injury.

1. Principal objective—to quantify the presence of nematodes in various treatment
units of a water treatment facility by providing answers to these specific
questions: (a) Where are the larvae, adults, and gravid nematodes located,
and what are their densities? (b) Are there correlations between densities
and a physical, chemical, or biological environmental factor which may
suggest a cause-effect relationship in the presence and growth of these
animals? Subordinate objective—to evaluate scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) as a means of quantifying the presence of free living nematodes in water.
2. Approach; The plan for this prlject can be divided into three divisions;
the first two are preparatory to the third. (a) The scientific validity of
our study will rest largely on the knowledge of what species of nematodes
are in the water supply. (b) It is very probable that the scanning electron
microscope (SEM) will be used for quantification of nematodes in water.
From preliminary observations this method seems to hold promise, but a
reliable protocol for the careful preparation of a sample is necessary.
(c) The heart of the study will consist of: (1) taking samples from
numerous locations throughout the Greenwood Water Treatment Facility,
(2) determining the nematode's stages of development and densities and
(3) evaluating the data to provide some understanding of the animal's
breeding characteristics. We also hope to determine if the population
size is dependent upon, or correlated with, an environmental parameter
such as a change in nutrients, pH, or mineral content of the water source
or the frequency of back-washing the sand filters.

This proposal described methods for increasing the sensitivity of on-line measure-
ments of the infrared spectra of species eluting from a gas chromatograph (GC-IR) and
a high performance liquid chromatograph (LC-IR) through the use of dual-beam Fourier
transform spectrometry. The optics for these systems have already been designed and
constructed and further improvements will be tested. In addition methods for solvent
elimination for LC-IR are proposed; the effluent from the chromatograph will be
sprayed into a vertical heated light-pipe and the sample will be deposited on the
walls of the light-pipe. The reflection-absorption spectrum of the deposited sample
will .then be measured.
The sensitivity of in-situ measurements of the infrared spectra of species
separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) will be improved through the application
of programmed multiple development to reduce the spot size. Finally an infrared
scanner for TLC plates will be developed.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies will be made to recognize and to quantitatively
characterize the several reaction pathways which result in the chemical transformation
and removal of SO2, NO, and NO2 in the polluted atmosphere. In one phase of the work
the seemingly important reactions of the alkyl peroxy and hydroperoxy radicals with
S02r NO, and NO2 are being investigated. Kinetic flash spectroscopy, steady state
photochemical systems, and studies in flow systems are employed to follow the kinetics
of the RO2 reactions The identification and kinetic characterization of the initial
reactive products of these reactions will be attempted using infrared, visible,
ultraviolet spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and more conventional chemical methods.
In other phases of this work we plan to study the reaction pathways which involve
the reactions of the electronically excited SO2 with atmospheric components and the
reactions of the HO-radical with SO2, NO, NC^, and other atmospheric pollutants of
special interest.
The mechanism and kinetic information obtained in the study will be applied
directly to the development of a more realistic computer simulation scheme for the
prediction of rates of SO2 and NOX removal reactions and the nature of the initial
"sulfate" and other unidentified and recognized products of the sunlight-irradiated,
NOX, S02, RH-polluted atmospheres.

The principal objective of this project is to conduct an extensive evaluation of
ultrafiltration for wastewater treatment at the San Leandro plant of the Dewey and
Almy Chemical Division of W. R. Grace. Treatment of this waste by ultrafiltration is an
application ofnovel technology to a serious wastewater problem, and provides an
economically feasible means of meeting effluent standards for hexane extractables and
other contaminants.
This test program will be supplemented by feasibility experiments on the treatment
of product waters from ultrafiltration by reverse osmosis and carbon adsorption.
The technical and economic feasibilities of full-scale treatment systems will be
assessed.
At the San Leandro plant, utlrafiltration tests will be conducted concurrently with
waste characterization tests of the in-feed, concentrate and permeate. A sampler will
be used to obtain daily composite effluent samples.
Operating paramenters to be routinely monitored include processing temperature and
pressure, the ultrafiltration unit circulation rate and pressure drop, and the
ultrafiltration permeate flow rate. The UF unit will be operated continuously for
twelve weeks.
In addition to the above, reverse osmosis and carbon adsorption tests will be conducted
on the permeate to assess technical and economic feasibilites for treatment of the
UF product water to meet the effluent limitations guidelines for the industry.

The purpose of this study is to obtain information concerning the mode of action,
excretion, and metabolism of the cyclodiene insecticides.
A mortality study employing mice was conducted with combinations of toxaphene (T)
and methyl parathion (P) to determine possible potential ion between these insecticides
One-half LD doses (T:P, 56:16 mg/kg) were employed as well as a 2:1 combination
(T:P, 32:16 mg/kg). Mortality occurred in only combinations containing P: .Vy.vev^r,
there was a lack of potentiation between these two insecticides.
Mice were dosed with combinations of 25 mg/kg 36C1-toxaphene (T), 3.2 mg/kg 14c_
chlordimeform (C), and 12.5 mg/kg methyl parathion (P), i.e., T, P, C, TP, TC, PC, TPC
There were no statistical differences among the various treatment combinations for
36Cl-excretton in the urine. There were differences for feces, but not definite
pattern was apparent. The other significant differences were between a single dose
and a second dose. Mean separations for these significant differences are in the
process of being performed.
A study is being conducted consisting of two parts: effects of toxaphene ingestion on
neo-natal development, as determined by certain behavioral criteria and the effects on
post-na,?^l maze learning in rats. Results for the maze learning experiments are still
progress". The following tests were used to assess neo-natal development: swimming,
grasp-hold reflex, righting reflex, and startle response. Treated pups showed a
suppression in the development of swimming ability on days 7-9; treated pups showed
a stronn*r grasp-hold reflex on days 15-20 when this response declined in the
control group. There was no significant difference in the development,, of startle
response, and the exposed pups developed the righting reflex two days later than
control pups.

aryl and aliphatic organophosphorus compounds and non-halogenated aryl and aliphatic
organophosphorus pesticides. Relate symptomatology, cholinesterase depression and
levels of intact pesticides in blood and urinary excretion of metabolites in persons

(2) Approach: The concentration of intact pesticide in blood and adipose tissue,
quantity of urinary metabolites excreted in 24-hour intervals and effect on cholines-
terase is measured in rats individually exposed to a dozen organophosphorus pesticides.
Human subjects occupationally exposed to the same compounds are monitored for the above
parameters in order to determine the validity of the animal model.

The environmental problems caused by the incorporation of heavy metals (e.g. cad-
mium, lead and mercury) into our ecosystem have been recognized for several years and
have recently received an increasing amount of attention. Presently, very little
detailed information is available, on the molecular scale, of the mechanisms of incor-
poration and action of these metals in biological systems. One of the major problems
in ascertaining the role of the metal in biological and toxicological effects has been
the lack of sufficient analytical methods to identify the metal and its molecular form.
Metals of primary importance to this study, because of the ease in which they can enter
the environment are: cadmium, tin, mercury, lead, and to a lesser extent selenium and
thallium. These metals are ideally suited for a multinuclear magnetic resonance study
involving direct observation of the metal nucleus by Fourier techniques because of
their respective receptiveness to an nmr experiment and because they are all spin 1/2
nuclei.
The primary objectives of the research are twofold. Firstly, to characterize in
detail the nmr parameters (chemical shifts, lower limits of sensitivity, spin coupling
constants, relaxation times (Tj and T2) and their respective mechanisms) of representa-
tive organometallic and coordination compounds of these metals in solution. This re-
search also entails investigations of these metals interacting with amino acids, hor-
mones and peptide fragments of various sizes. Secondly, based upon the results of the
investigations of the nmr parameters, studies have been initiated to follow the inter-
action of these metals in metalloproteins. This involves the direct observation of the
metal in a metalloprotein; and in selected examples (113Cd and 207Pb), experiments have
been designed to observe the metal in the protein while the protein is involved in a
catalytic role. Such experiments are yielding significant information toward a further
understanding of the structure-function role metals play in metalloproteins.

This study consisted of two separate but completely interrelated substudies:
1) macroecosystem study; and 2) microecosystem study.
Macroecosystem. The present study was designed to study the dynamics of a relatively
undisturbed marsh-estuarine ecosystem. There are two basic interrelated objectives of
this,study: 1) to establish baseline data on an undisturbed estuary to provide a
scientific basis for comparative studies on the effects of various stresses of pollutant
on other estuarine environments; and 2) to develop models of an estuarine ecosystem whic!
would predict the probable effects of environmental perturbation.
Microecosystem. The long range objectives of this study were twofold: 1) The prime
objective was to develop and test replicate experimental salt marsh units at the micro-
ecosystem level as diagnostic tools for the assessment of both long and short term
pollution effects on the Spartina alterniflora salt marsh community. 2) Since this
study was conducted in conjunction with the ecosystem analysis of North Inlet Estuary,
these simulated marshes will be utilized to test, as well as to provide some data
relevant to the general overall ecosystem model being constructed for the area.
Results of this integrated study add significantly to our understanding of the
marsh-estuarine ecosystem. Not only does this study provide better insight into the
functioning of estuarine processes in an undisturbed estuary, but also it provides a
basis for the development and validation of predictive models. These models are needed
in making decisions on environmental impact of man's activities in the estuarine
environment and in developing long term management programs of this vital natural area.

This is a continuation study that is (a) investigating the influence of particulates in
water on the viral disinfection process using chlorine dioxide as the disinfectant and
bentonite and alum as the particulates; (b) evaluating the disinfection capabilities of
chlorine dioxide using enteroviruses as the test viruses, along with reference bacteria
and bacteriophages for comparative purposes at different levels of chlorine dioxide,
temperatures, contact times, pH values, and concentrations of particulate matter; (c)
determining the effect of viral aggregation on survival of the test microbes during the
disinfection process through characterization of the virus inoculum by electron micro-
scopic assay of the viral units; and (d) evaluating the effect of the disinfectant on
enterovirus-associated animal cells which simulate naturally-found cell-associated
viruses excreted from the intestinal tract of man. In addition, other disinfectants
such as hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ion, and the chloramines will be used to
compare their relative viral disinfection efficiencies to that of chlorine dioxide
either singly, together, or in sequential addition to determine the effect of combina-
tions of chlorine and chlorine dioxide on the viral disinfection proces^ The use of
chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant in water supplies assumes greater imr . ...ace when
consideration is given to its reduced reactivity with precursor organics in water to
form chlorinated organic compounds which may be later identified as carcinogenic. As
chlorine dioxide becomes a more .used disinfectant because of its lessened capability to
form chlorinated organics, more information is required concerning its disinfecting
capability and factors that influence such ability. As part of the scope of the second
year, a supplementary study will be completed dealing with the chlorine disinfection of
Yersinia enterocolitica, a bacterium implicated in outbreaks of intestinal disease.

Objectives--(1) Conduct a field sampling program designed to statistically test
whether shading an^l/or agricultural herbicide factors are related to submerged
aquatic vascular plant die-offs in Chesapeake Bay. (2) Conduct microcosm bioassays
of herbicides under unstressed and stressed conditions. (3) Directly test for
adverse effects of runoiSf form on plants in large tanks.
Approach—Field data would be collected at a series of stations on tidal Rhode
River (on the western shore), tidal Choptank River (on the eastern shore) and
near the Poplar Islands (open bay) at a series of times in order to measure species
composition and populations of plants; shading factors in the water column, herbicides
gactors in bottom sediments, suspended sediments and surface water, and other habitat
factors. One species would also be intensively bioassayed in microcosms with atra-
zine and linuron to test for individual and synergentic effects under unstressed and
stressed (low light, high salinity, high temperature) conditions. Estuarine partition
coefficients would be approximated. Storm water runoff from a cornfield watershed
would be diverted into a large tank contaimjiSq plants and compared to acontrol tank.

The major objective of this study is to determine if prolonged exposure to high levels
of air pollutants in urban areas of California is associated with increased risk of
chronic diseases. This study objective arose out of the need to document in a scientif-
ic manner, the disease effects associated with air pollution in urban areas of Cali-
fornia. The high pollution areas will be defined by the ambient levels of S02, ozone,
particulate matter, and NO^.
The population group to be studied (Seventh-day Adventists) has inherent controlled
parameters as a result of its lifestyle. In this stydy a smog questionnaire is being
mailed to the study subjects. It includes questions designed to determine the prev-
alence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in the polluted areas of the
South Coast Air Basin and to estimate the prevalence of COPD in the rest of California,
as well as estimate the relative exposure to air pollutants based on differing life-
style habits.

This,work is intended to evaluate various factors influencing the effect of
environmental pollutants with particular emphasis on trace elements.
Special attention will be paid to differences in absorption, distribution and
retention in relation to age, to the estimation of critical organ in the
immature, to differences in toxicity due to age, to late effects caused by
infant exposure and to nutritional factors and deficiencies as influencing
trace element metabolfsm and effects.
Most of the experimental work is going to be performed on rats using
radioactive isotopes of trace elements for studying various metabolic parameters.
Stable trace elements are going to be used as additives to different diets to
evaluate the effect of chronic exposure and interaction of essential and toxic
trace elements. The experiments on humans are envisaged for a later staqe.
These investigations are expected to provide a better basis for evaluating
the effects of environmental pollutants in the young.

We propose to perform calculations, using a recently developed theory, to
estimate the effect of particle size and refractive index on the Raman scattering
cross sections for molecules comprising all or a constituent part of small particles.
These calculations will be coordinate with experimental work at the National Bureau
of Standards directed toward the analysis of molecular species contained in small
particles. The numerical studies will permit extension of the present technique for
qualitative analysis of particulates to a more quantitative basis, since to this
point no theory has been available which predicts the dependence of the total Raman
signal on particle size, shape, refractive index and orientation with respect to the
illumination and collection directions. Calculations' to elucidate these dependencies
may also lead to estimation of the distribution of the molecular species within the
particle (e.g. uniform distribution throughout the particle or concentration in a
surface layer). It will also provide information which could lead to improvements
in the design of the present instrumentation. Theoretical studies will be undertaken
to extend the present theory to nonspherical particles and to nonuniform light sources

The objectives of this work are to
(1) Determine optimal conditions for the extraction of metal and phosphates
from anaerobically digested chemically treated sewage sludge using
sulfuric acid as the extractant.
(2) To determine similar optimal conditions for aerobic sludges and mixed sludges
(3) To determine the benefits obtained by acid extraction when the residual
sludge is to be incinerated.
The approach is to obtain representative samples of sludge from sewage plants in which
phosphate removal is practiced, and by carrying out acid extractions with complete
and careful analysis of the products to develop sufficient data to allow reliable
estimates of process costs to be made.

Photochemical oxidation of nitric oxide followed by aqueous scrubbing of the
reaction products is considered an attractive near term control technique for coal
field utility and industrial boilers. The technical and economic limits of the

to the increasing reliance on coal and the inherent limitations of combustion
modification techniques for NO control.

The specific objectives include the determination of the product quantum yield
in both the far ultraviolet band of 1800-2000A and in the middle ultraviolet band
of 2000-3000A. These parameters will serve as a meaningful indication of the
oxidation efficiency of the mechanisms under various physical conditions. The
product quantum yield values can be easily translated into energy cost estimates.
A nested continuous stirred tank reactor system (CSTR) has been selected as
an optimal design for accurately determining product quantum yield. A simulated
stack effluent is irradiated in a commercial quartz 1 liter CSTR which is mounted
within a much larger CSTR.
Product analysis is done using a chemiluminescent NO analyzer (TECO Model
IDA) and a Pulse Fluorescent S0? Analyzer (TECO Model 40). The possible presence
of aerosol is indicated by a Condensation Nuclei Counter (Environment One). A
millipore filter will be used to collect any aerosol formed for subsequent
analysis. Nitrogen and sulfur balances will be attempted.

The detection and location of water levels, water pockets,
voids and various other discontinuities between different layers
of earth or rock is critical in insuring the performance and
safety of earth dams. Such underground anomalies are particu-
larly undersirable in the earth dams and dikes that contain
hazardous materials since these relatively small embankments
are generally not engineered or constructed in a rigorous and
professional manner.
Qae possible technique for detecting and monitoring such
faults or.d weak areas is the uce cf iracrcwaves. B>* hcssing ccsi
tinuous or pulsed microwaves at the dike and recording the re-
turn signal as it is reflected from the anomaly, the location,
type and depth of faults can be determined. A literature search
(technical, equipment, legal and safety) will be undertaken and
a number of laboratory experiments will be performed to assess
the practicality of using microwaves for the non-destructive
assessment of dike stability. Basic soil properties such as
dielectric constant, conductivity, attenuation, phase shift,
and velocity, will also be determined.
The final result of this project will be the detailed
specification for a inexpensive, mobile, microwave unit (with
faiown limitations) to determine underground water, irregularities,
and discontinuities in small earthen dikes.

The intent of this investigative effort is to develop, through pilot plant test-
ing, a comprehensive approach to the management/treatment of septage that will
transform this material into one which is chemically, physically, and biologi-
cally safe for reintroduction into the natural environment.
Essentially two strategies exist for the proper management and treatment of
septage:
1. Utilization of municipal wastewater treatment facilities as a receiver
for this material and/or
2. Construction of facilities exclusively for the processing of septage. Integral
to the above will be further definition of the characteristics of untreated
septage as well as character transformations resulting from various types of
treatment. Investigations on pretreatment, dewatering, resultant aqueous and
solids bearing fraction treatment, combined fraction treatment, and combinations
of the above are to be undertaken.
The overall outcome of these efforts is designed to:
1. Define the applicability of utilizing equipment normally found at municipal
wastewater treatment facilities for the effective treatment of septage,
2. Optimize operational conditions for such equipment so that cost effective,
environmentally sound results may be consistently attained, and
3. Derive design and operational parameters for new management/treatment
processes.

The objective of the three year study is to assess in vitro mutagenic/carcinogenic
potential of organic substances.in renovated wastewaters and attempt to identify the
fractions/chemicals responsible for the action. . Wastewater renovation plants repre-
senting a wide variety of treatment methods - natural sand beds, physical-chemical,
and biological, are selected to enable correlation of the data on mutagenicity/
carcinogenicity to the treatment technology. The study will provide information on
health hazards from reclaimed wastewater for potable use and assist in setting
priorities for in-depth toxicological testing.
First year was devoted to assessment of the mutagenic/carcinogenic potential of
unconcentrated secondary effluent- and advanced wastewater treatment effluents
utilizing Salmonella and yeast mutagenesis assays. Secondary effluent, and lysimeter
samples collected from different depths of the sand beds at Lake George AWT Plant
showed no mutagenicity. Wastewaters spiked with known mutagens revealed that mutagens
can be detected in wastewaters without significant interference from the components of
wastewaters with the bioassay system and/or with the activity of mutagens. Secondary
and AWT effluent samples collected from Bay Park Water Reclaimation Plant exhibited
weak mutagenicity in Salmonella strain TA-1535.
In the second year, concentration of organics from secondary- and AWT effluents
and analysis of the concentrates for mutagenicity/carcinogenicity using in vitro
bioassay procedures shall be undertaken. Since no single concentration device can
be used to remove all organics of concern, a variety of concentration techniques -
polyurethane foam plugs, XAD-2, liquid-liquid extraction, and thermal extraction
for low-molecular weight volatile organics, shall be used. To determine if
mutagens/carcinogens are present in the form of conjugates, coticeittrates will be
tested after acid- and enzyme hydrolysis.

The purpose of this project. ±s the development and application of a membrane
electrode system capable of in situ measurement of dissolved ozone. There is a
pressing need for such a sensor system,. especially in view of recent interest in the
utilization of ozone as an alternative to chlorine in water and wastewater disinfection
aod treatment processes.
An inherent part of this study is the development of a process controlled ozonator
for water treatment applications in which the rate of ozone generation is controlled
by membrane electrode measurement. This system will be tested on a pilot plant scale
and in water supply and waste treatment plants.
Furthermore, the membrane electrode under investigation is inherently capable of
aeasurement of ozone in gaseous and nonaqueous media. The feasibility of these
particular applications will also be investigated.
Previous work by the principal investigator resulted in the development of steady
state and pulse voltammetric membrane electrodes for dissolved oxygen measurement,
Preliminary investigations on the development of an ozone membrane electrode
resulted in a prototype capable of detecting aqueous ozone in the part per billion
range, in tlie presence of oxygen. This electrode system has unique design character-
istics and membrane material different from the oxygen membrane electrode.
Further work .is needed for the (a) optimization of the electrode design and
testing different types of membranes, (b) development of compact, portable, circuitry
package for signal processing, (c) determine the electrode performance characteristics
in the field, and (d) develop and field-test the process controlled ozonator.

The primary objectives of this investigation are:
1. To establish the feasibility of upgrading existing primary sedimentation plants to
meet the secondary treatment requirements of PL 92-500 through the installation of
rotating biological contactors (RBC's) in the upper half of existing primary clari-
fiers and a false floor at mid-depth to form a lower secondary clarification zone.
2. To establish the degree of pretreatment and supplemental oxygen supply (if any)
necessary to successfully operate an RBC system in this mode.
3. To evaluate the effects of climatic, diurnal flow, and total daily load variations
on. process efficiency.
4. To establish design parameters and capital and operating costs for the application
of this upgrading technique to maximize the use of existing tankage and facilities
at other existing primary sedimentation plants.
Operation of Edgewater's converted primary clarifier test module (0.5 mgd+) over the
past 2 years has demonstrated to the Borough the potential of the RBC/false floor
concept to upgrade performance to secondary treatment levels. However, the existing
installation lacks certain control refinements which are necessary to determine limit-
ing conditions of the process as related to hydraulic and organic loadings .and diurnal
flow variations. It is the intent of this project to provide for the installation of
equipment to accurately monitor and control flow and to efficiently remove grit and
trash, to provide for the collection and analysis of flow proportional 24-hour compos-
ite samples, and to establish and carry out a systematic procedure for evaluating the
primary clarifier/RBC test system over a meaningful range of loading conditions and
for optimizing process results. The concept will be analyzed on a cost effective and
treatment efficiency basis, especially as to its applicability to similar primary
plants throughout the country. -

The research proposed for this study would utilize a
micrometeorological approach to obtain improved estimates of
the total amount and time course of the natural emissions of
hydrocarbons from the forest vegetation. Micrometeorological
measurements, including vertical profiles of various hydro-
carbons, will be made in a forested area near Durham, N. C.
at the Triangle Site for the International Biological Program
(IBP) Project. These measurements will enable us to calculate
the vertical flux of these hydrocarbons and thus their emission
rate from the forest vegetation. The proposed research will be
a cooperative effort involving personnel and instrumentation from
both the IBP project and the Gas Kinetics Photochemistry
Branch (GKPB) of the EPA Environmental Sciences Research
Laboratory.
The measurements will be made for selected sampling days
over a six month period beginning in July, 1976. They will
provide daily and ^seasonal time course estimates of the emission
of natural hydrocarbons which can be related to both the
physiological activity and water status of the forest vegetation
and general climatic conditions. They will give us a better
understanding of the importance of vegetation in the production
of photochemical smog.

This project is to write the second of two volumes on the toxicoloqy of pesti-
cides. The first of these volumes, published in 1975 by Williams and Wilkins, deals
with the general principles of toxicoloqy and with what mioht be called the epidemi-
ology of pesticides poisoning in man and animals. The second volume will deal with
groups of pesticides and with individual compounds within these groups. The two
volumes were planned from the beginning as separate parts of a single unified work.
This work may be viewed as an expansion of my Clinical Handbook on Economic Poisons.
Although the Handbook enjoyed extensive use in this country and abroad, it contained
almost nothing to orient the reader to general toxicology or to the overall picture
of pesticide toxicity and storage. Hopefully, that need has been filled by my book,
Toxicology of Pesticides, now published. It remains to present that part of subject
to which nearly all of the Handbook was devoted. Attention will still be given al-
most entirely to compounds that have been studied in man, mainly in connection with
occupational exposure or accidental or intentional poisoning, but surprisingly often
in connection with planned experiments or therapeutic uses. Special attention will
be given to clinically useful information including minimal dosages that have proved
dangerous and maximal dosages that were tolerated. No attempt will be made to cover
animal studies completely, but those that might contribute to an understanding of
poisoning or to its trs?tment will be reported.

Objective: To provide a tested and working prototype of a buoyed diffusion chamber
array for multi-depth environmental exposure of sewage in aquatic environ-
ments to be used to follow the rate of decay of fecal indicators and
pathogens of human origin.
Approach: Well-agitated Nuclepore membranes permit the free diffusion of solutes
through the pores while both retaining bacteria and viruses and minimizing
the Nernst layer, plugging and wall growth. The use of these membranes
la a submersible translucent chamber allows the total effect of in-situ
temperature, sunlight, inorganic and organic solutes to be observed on
the test indicators and pathogens.
The deployment of diffusion chambers at three depths allows the effect of
the conditions aear the surface, near the thermocliae and below the __
thermocline or photic zone to be observed simultaneously, as the buoyed
-array drifts with the sewage plume in the test area. A light-protected
closed loop of tubing with a minimal volume of constantly pumped liquid
between the cells and the surface buoy permits sampling at intervals of

This project would determine the feasibility of using hypolimnetic
aeration and nutrient inaetivation as a combined treatment to arrest
and mitigate the effects of eutrophication in a reservoir.
Lafayette Reservoir is a 126 acre* 4200 acre-foot reservoir in the
San Francisco Bay metropolitan area. The reservoir is currently used
for recreation and as a standby domestic water supply.
Aeration of the hypolimnion would occur for seven months in eaeh of
two consecutive summers. Aluminum sulfate would be applied to the
reservoir twice during the first summer - first to the surface layer
and then through the aerator to the hypolimnion. The treatments are
expected to remove nutrients from the water and sequester them in
the benthic sediments.

"Steinmetz Lake Restoration Project" - The lake, which is used extensively
as a swimming and ice skating facility, suffers from excessive growth of
weeds and algae. Applicant proposes to drain the lake during the winter,
allow bottom sediment to desiccate, and dredge and bulldoze out sediment
in the spring thereby increasing lake depth by one meter. Prior to refilling
with water, one foot of sand will be placed on the lake bottom. Also
storm sewers discharging into the lakes as well as other surfaced drainage
may be rerouted. Monitoring will be conducted for three years to determine
project effectiveness.

A program is underway to develop a new FT nmr spectrometer system of unprece-
dented sensitivity for a large class of applications dealing with biomolecular
structure and function. The spectrometer uses a wide base 3.5 Tesla super-
conducting solenoid and is based on 3 rf synthesizers. Essentially all magnetic
nuclides will be observable in 15 to 30 mm sample tubes.
Several new applications are being investigated for the new instrumentation;
studying environmental toxic materials with emphasis on elucidation of toxin-
induced changes in bioniolecule structure and function. One project will
utilize variable frequency ^C relaxation measurements to elucidate the form of
interaction between organic toxins and model membrane systems. Another project
involves specialized synthesis of short "native" DNA's and subsequent nmr studies
of heavy matal toxin binding and intercalation into the DNA structure. A third
application utilizes 31p nmr and ultralarge sample tubes to speciate organ-
ophosphorus pollutants in natural waters. The largest (35-50mm) sample tubes will
also be used in an attempt to directly observe toxin metabolism/degradation by
living cells, using ~'p nmr and '% ancj I->N nmr (with isotopic enrichment).

The project objective 1s to prepare a comprehensive training package, consisting of a
number of audiovisual presentations and an accompanying instructional manual, which can
be used by government and industry to: (1) upgrade and improve the techniques and
procedures for enforcing state and Federal environmental regulations related to
surface mining; (2) acquaint regulatory and production personnel with the environ-
mental sciences, the nature, extent and relationship of surface mining environmental
problems, and the basic environmental control principles and practices; and (3)
explain and illustrate different uses and applications of best available and cost-
effective environmental control techniques.
A format which 1s generic 1n nature will be utilized in developing the course. The
use of such a format is desirable in order to facilitate course utilization throughout
the varied and extensive geographic area covered by the IMCC member states. In pre-
paring those portions of the course dealing with the control basis, emphasis will be
given to basic control philosophy, principles, and practices rather than a detailed
coverage of specific laws and regulations within particular states.

The Association of Systematics Collections (ASC), through its Council on Syste-
matics Collections and Environmental Quality, proposed to undertake a pilot study/
review of a specified portion of the master species list for the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency's BIO-STORET system.
BIO-STORET is an EPA data processing project for managing physical and chemical
information derived from water quality studies. In operation, all identifications
of aquatic species will be checked against the "master species file;" if the identi-
fication does not match, the data will be rejected.
For the BIO-STORET project to be of value, it is essential that the master species
file be both complete and accurate. To achieve these prerequisites, an extensive
review arid expansion of the list must be performed by professional taxonomists; each
specializing in one of the groups of organisms of conern to the project.
The project described herein will enlist the aid of qualified taxonomists to: a)
review a section of the reference species list for completeness and accuracy of the
specific and subspecific names and associated higher taxonomic nomenclature; b)
designate those groups in which the specios are difficult to identify; c) list those
groups currently under study or review and point out problems in the taxonomy of
specific groups (such as inter-specific hybrids); d) provide a list of current or
pertinent Irterature references; and e) note the need for development of identifi-
cation keys to certain biological groups.
The ASC will also furnish the EPA with recommended protocol for performing the
expansion and correction of the entire master species file; a critique of this
protocol, and estimates of the time and expense required to bring the master species
list up to where the BIO-STORET system can perform as it was intended.

OBJECTIVE: The principal objective of the.Third National Conference on
Individual Onsite Wastewater Systems is to acquaint the engineer/practi-
tioner with alternative treatment and disposal methods for individual
onsite wastewater applications, including the newer wastewater recycle
and water conservation technologies and to describe various management
practices which have successfully controlled growth, operation, and main-^
tenance of onsite systems.
APPROACH: A single session conference will be used as a forum to achieve
this objective. This is the Third National Conference organized by NSF
to provide for exchange of information between regulatory, manufacturing,
and consumer interests concerned with the treatment and disposal of
wastes from individual homes. Federal, state, and local responsibilities:
will be discussed. Onsite systems as a practical, cost-effective alter-
native to sewering in complying with PL 92-500 requirements for areawide
wastewater treatment management planning (Section 208) may be feasible.
Two such community demonstration projects will be described. Regional
management plans and numerous state and local experiences will be de-
scribed. Opportunity for group discussion and exchange of views will be
provided.
CURRENT PLANS OR PROGRESS: Arrangements for holding the conference at
the Marriott Inn, Ann Arbor, Michigan on November 16, 17, 18, 1976, have
been completed. A planning committee has met, developed program content,
and selected speakers. Over 90 percent of the speakers are committed.

This Symposium should bring together American, European and
other participants to report and discuss the current issues on
the atmospheric sulfur problem.
It is estimated that the global emission from anthropogenic
sources are of the same order of magnitude as emissions from
natural sources. However, more than 90% of anthropogenic SO
emissions are in the northern atmosphere. It has been recognized
that the anthropogenic sulfur problem is a regional one on the
spatial scale of thousands of kilometers. The horizontal and
vertical dispersion mechanisms, removal rates by dry and wet
deposition, SC^ oxidation rates and mechanisms, the particulate
sulfur size distribution, spatio-temporal distribution and
chemistry of aerosol sulfur compounds and associated measurement
techniques will be discussed.

The overall objective of this research program is to evaluate the alveolar macrophage
response in several species of animals consequent to the inhalation of standardized
sulfate particulates, sulfuric acid, and sulfur dioxide (with and without ferric oxide
particles) The optimum concentration of particles, particle size, and time of sacri-
fice of the test animals are being determined in preliminary studies. A number
of measurements of the response of free cells to these particulates will be made,
such as the total number and size of free cells available, viability of free cells,
phagocytic capability, and other physiological and biochemical responses.
During the first year of this study, the techniques of aerosol generation were
developed to generate metal sulfate and iron oxide aerosols in sulfur dioxide
atmospheres. Using this methodology, groups of hamsters were exposed for fouf hours
to sulfur dioxide gas alone andiron oxide (FezOa) aerosols alone, as well as the
combination of the two. Interestingly, when hamsters were exposed to concentrations
of both SB? and FegQSat 50 ppm and 10 mg/m , respectively, a marked reduction in
alveolar macrophage endocytosis of radiocolloidal gold was observed in animals exposed
to Fe? 03 aerosols containing small particles (MMAD= 0.15 pm) with large surface areas
This lepression in phagocytic function remained for more than 24 hours and did not
appear to return tonormal , control levels until 48 hours following S02and Fe2 0J
exposure. During the next budget period, we plan to- further investigate the possible
additive and synergistic effects of the interaction of S§ gas and Fe^Og aerosols and
also to investigate three sulfate species.

The principal objective of this project is to evaluate the
recoverability of coliforms from waters which haves a) high
populations of non-coliform organisms; and b) high levels of
turbidity due to natural -mineral turbidity, hydrated oxides and
organic debris. An attempt will be made to distinguish the physical
interference effects of turbidity from those effects caused by the
growth of competing organisms. This may be accomplished bys
a) selecting turbidities which vary in their microbial content,
b) selectively reducing the microbial content of a turbidity, and
c) separating the turbidity from its source water and totally
removing the microbM content by sterilization. The extent of
inhibition of coliform recovery and the interaction of these various
factors will also be considered.
A secondary objective is to determine the mechanism of
inhibition. The most likely possibilities aret a) competition
for nutrients, b) liberation of an inhibitory substance by the
non-coliforms, and c) overgrowth of the coliforms by non-coliforms
on laboratory media.

This is an initial effort to develop a generalized planning model for evaluation
of alternative forest management practices as a function of environmental and resource
goals. The objectives of this study are: 1) To develop and test a water and sediment
routing and yield model for both small and large watersheds and for both short and
long term periods. 2) To develop and test a process model which will simulate the
erosion and deposition of channel banks for unstable channels in forested upland
watersheds. To incorporate this process model into the developed water and sediment
routing model the remaining objectives will be: 3) To develop a procedure for routing
forest litter from the land surface for predicting the loading of stream channels with
organic debris. 4) To interface on available nitrogen and phosphorus sediment uptake
model with the developed water and sediment routing model. 5) To develop a thermal
loading model for predicting the temperature and dissolved oxygen of water loading to
the stream, and 6} To link the cause-effect process model and the multiple-objective
programming model for the selection of forest management alternatives. In order to
meet the above mentioned objectives the proposed study will develop numerical models

Two-hundred thirty-five water samples will be analyzed, qualitatively
and quantitatively, for species of planktonic diatoms. The samples, now
concentrated and preserved, were taken year-round from 5 locations on 47
separate dates from a water intake of a railroad ferry on a transect across
Lake Michigan. Analysis of these samples will identify possible differ-
ences between the diatoms of inshore and offshore waters and provide the
first year-round data of the diatom community in offshore as well as in-
shore waters of Lake Michigan.
The diatoms will be cleaned with nitric acid and placed on 0.45y mem-
brane filters. A portion of each filter will be made transparent with
immersion oil and examined at lOOOx under phase contrast. Hyrojc slides
will be prepared, where appropriate, from duplicate samples to aid in
species identification.
Various graphical displays and biometric analyses of the data such as
contour and isometric projection graphs, principal components analysis
and hierarchical grouping will be used to aid in interpretation of the
data. Multiple regression and canonical correlation analyses will be used
to determine structural relationships between physicochemical parameters,
previously analyzed, and the diatoms.

The basic problem to be approached is a continured assessment of the degree to which
specific site binding mechanism operate in species which occupy habitats subject to
heavy metal contamination in the Great Lakes. Studies are also proposed to evaluate
toxic symptoms and stress levels of heay metals on species collected from these sites
and incubated in the laboratory with additional heavy metals. A cellular approach will
again be used to assess these problems in order to mitigate the problems associated
with bulk analysis and extraction procedures. In particular, x-ray microanaylsis
will be used quantitatively measure cellualr changes occurring with heavy metal
expesure.
Research conducted to date has demonstrated that havy metal binding with polyphosphate
occurs in the field and in laboratory cultures of some diatoms. It also appears that
heavy metal exposure may cause a proliferation of cellular membranes at minmal doses.

slow in starting, as evidenced by the fact that today's basic equipment differs little
from that in use 100 years ago. One major reason for the lack of progress is that
successful innovation requires field trials, where the cost of failure to the trial plant
is large. Moreover, air pollution control equipment mostly considered as non-
productive economic burdens on the processes to which they are applied. As a result,
control devices so far have received minimum attention, and incentive for research
and development to improve their performance is lacking.
Recently there has been a substantial growth in research dealing with new
concepts and methods in particulate-gas separation such as high gradient magnetic
separation, acoustic coagulation, separation by filters in an electrostatic field, etc.
In order to identify new research areas associated with these concepts and methods,
as well as to stimulate further research activities in these fields, it is proposed to
organize a research workshop on the novel concepts, methods and advanced technology
in particulate-gas separation. The proposed workshop will be held on the Campus of
the University of Notre Dame for about two and one half days around the third week
of April 1977 and about thirty-five prominent scientists and engineers in relevant
areas will be invited.

This proposal outlines a project aimed at faciltatinq the dissemination of information
pertaining to animal production's impact onenvironmental quality. This will be
accomplished by searching the literature, abstracting pertinent publications, publishinq
water-related abstracts in Water Resources Information Abstracts, and submittina a
cumulative bibliography of abstracts to the Environmetnal Protection Agency for
publication at the end of each budget periodc The publications to be abstracted
will be examined for the following topics: (1) The environmental impact of animal
production activities on water, ground water, air, soil systems, health, and aesthetics.
(2) Feedlot, confinement pen, rangeland, and pasture land management, including animal
waste management; the use of chemical fertilizers, manures, green manures, and sewage
sludge in conjunction with animal production areas; the use of pesticides in conjunction
with animal production areas or animal production-related areas; and pollution effects
fo croo residues, soil losses and sedimetns production from animal production areas to
animal production-related areas. (3) Legal, economic, and social constraints. (4)
Research and development. The project staff eill maintain a file cony of all articles
which apper in the bibliography, Upon request to the project staff, users will be
supplied a copy of individual articles at cost.

The objective of the project is development of a two-layer,
dynamic model of estuarine hydrodynamics and water quality. The model
employs the node-link modeling approach first used extensively by
Orlob and currently used in the EPA's KECEIV-II model. The model,
called RAMSES, builds on the basic, one-layer RECEIV-II model,
incorporating variable layer thickness and inter-layer exchanges.
Initial coding of the hydrodynamics sub-model is complete and tested for
one-layer conditions. Further testing and demonstration of the
hydrodynamic sub-model is to be accomplished on a two-layer case, along
with a sensitivity analysis. Completion of the hydrodynamic sub-model
will permit commencement of water quality sub-model testing for one-
and two-layer cases.

This symposium Is designed fo bring together persons concerned with the application
of analytical chemistry to the solution of environmental problems. Applied environmental
chemists will hear approximately 20 invited speakers present the latest developments in a
variety of analytical techniques. Plenary lecturers will address broad environmental problems
whose solutions depend on analytical chemistry.
Technical sessions will center upon three areas: identifications of organic species,
elemental analyses by physical methods, and special environmental pollutants.

Background
There is little or no nationally verified data on the impacts of urban stormwater
runoff on receiving waters. Impact data is needed to determine in a rational way the
degree of wet weather pollution control required. Studies are needed to determine the
degree of pollution in receiving waters caused by combined sewer overflows (CSO).
Priority should be given to sites that show a potential for a dissolved oxygen (DO) sag
to occur as a result of the CSOs and have receiving water and site characteristics that
will enable field verification of unsteady state water quality prediction models.
Due to the paucity of wet weather DO data field surveys are needed of potential
sites to determine their suitability for indepth CSO impact studies before final
selection of study sites can be made.
Objective
This task will primarily involve the field measurement of DO in twelve (12) Ohio
streams receiving CSOs from municipal systems to determine if a DO impact occurs
during periods of urban runoff. This data will be used to make decisions on the
feasibility of additional in-depth studies.

The workshop will provide a forum for discussion of public policy for ground water
quality protection. The workshop is for approximately 100 persons with expertise
and management responsibility for ground water and who are concerned with public
policy issues which impact on its quality. Discussion issues include the extent
of degradation allowable and ramifications associated with specific degradation
policies. Consideration will be given to public policies related to various
activities which constitute potential sources of ground water contamination. Parti-
cipants will attempt to evaluate the feasibility of a national policy on ground
water quality and the means of modifying existing policies to give due regard to
potential impact on ground water quality. An assessment will be made of potential
effectiveness and long-range implications of specific federal and state programs
concerning ground water quality protection. Weaknesses in existing laws and
administrative structure will be identified as a foundation to support recommen-
dations for future policy on ground water quality protection.

Objectives
To determine the long-and shorfrterm issues emerging from the further development
of eastern and western United States coal as a parallel source to nuclear energy, and
to place these issues in some order of priority
To formulate a data base that will serve as a primary information tool for
the Forum
To bring together the people who are knowledgeable in the science and technology
of coal extraction and use with those who are questioning and apprehensive about its us*
To identify areas of conflict concerning the use of coal, with close attention
given to health-related effluents, the question of C02 and to explore avenues
of resolution
To separate and sharpen issues of scientific fact and interpretation from those of
value judgment, reducing factual error and misrepresentation through informed
discussion and high-level debate
To communicate the results of the Forum process to the makers of national
policy related to coal
Approach
The Forum of the National Academy of Sciences offers a public platform for the
appraisal and illumination of national issues involving the uses of science
and technology
A public audience will include the full spectrum of those who are responsible
for initiating change through science and those who are affected by it: members of
congressional staffs, advisors and consultants to the federal establishment, members
of regulatory agencies, state and local officials, representatives of industry, members
of the scientific community, public interest lawyers, press and media representatives,
and the interested public. The Forum will be held April 4-,: 1977, in Washington, D.C.
