RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, have been grouped into seven series.
These seven broad categories were established to facilitate further
development and application of environmental technology. Elimination
of traditional grouping was consciously planned to foster technology
transfer and a maximum interface in related fields. The seven series
are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series. Reports in this series result from
the effort funded under the 17-agency Federal Energy/Environment
Research and Development Program. These studies relate to EPA's
mission to protect the public health and welfare from adverse effects
of pollutants associated with energy systems. The goal of the Program
is to assure the rapid development of domestic energy supplies in an
environmentally—compatible manner by providing the necessary
environmental data and control technology. Investigations include
analyses of the transport of energy-related pollutants and their health
and ecological effects; assessments of, and development of, control
technologies for energy systems; and integrated assessments of a wide
range of energy-related environmental issues.

Information Service, Springfield, Virginia 22161.

FOREWORD
This volume is one of two works. Together they contain project-level
descriptions of nearly all of the $100-million in research and development
funded by the EPA-coordinated Interagency Energy/Environment R&D Program
in fiscal year 1976. This is the second year in which this office has prepared
such a program listing. To make this year' s effort more useful, we have
coded the edges of the pages with marks . The wide marks indicate the Inter-
agency Research category in which the project falls.
The project-level descriptions in this volume describe the health and
environmental effects research funded by the FY 1976 Interagency Energy/
Environment R&D Program coordinated by the Office of Energy, Minerals and
Industry. Each project is assigned to one of five research, development,
and demonstration categories:
• Pollutant characterization, measurement, and monitoring
• Environmental transport processes
« Health effects
• Ecological effects
e Integrated assessment
Within each R&D category, program abstracts are grouped by agency. A table
of contents has been provided at the beginning of each R&D category.
Project descriptions are culled from "Notice of Research Project" forms
prepared by the appropriate laboratories and agencies using the Smithsonian
Science Information Exchange (SSIE) format. The enclosed tables reflect the
FY 1976 Interagency Program budget. Table 1 delineates total funding by
R&D category and agency. Tables 2-6 illustrate the funding for each of the
five research categories. Each table (2-6) shows funding by energy source
for each performing agency. Tables 7 and 8 give the funding summary by
energy cycle component (extraction, processing, transportation and conver-
sion, and utilization).
In a companion volume, similar information on environmental control
technology addresses:
• Energy resource extraction
« Physical and chemical coal cleaning
• Flue gas cleaning
• Direct combustion
• Synthetic fuels

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work In progress are exchanged with government and private agenclea sup-
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such Information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to construct an airborne remote sensing
device which will map the release of a tracer gas. The tracer will simulate the out-
fall of stack gases from a proposed power plant. This will aid in selection of sites
for proposed power plants.
.APPROACH: The approach is that two CO, lasers, one tuned on an absorption line of
the tracer and the other tuned to a "clean" region of the spectrum, are bore sighted
to a telescope which focuses down on an I.R. detector. The lasers fire downward and
the telescope collects the laser pulses reflected back from the earth. The difference
in the two wavelengths is related to the amount of tracers below the aircraft.
The selection of the tracer will be made based on laboratory studies and
a literature survey of the environmental effects of the tracer.
CURRENT PLAMS: The progress to date is that the laboratory components have been
assembled and tested and the coincidences between candidate tracers and the CO,
laser lines are now being studied. After this, plans call for the final choice of
a tracer to be made based on the above information. Then the ERDAS (now configured
to monitor 0.,) will be modified, tested in the laboratory and field evaluated in an
aircraft.

3BJECTIVE: Design, construct and test a two frequency downward looking airborne LIDAR
system. LIDAR systems have demonstrated capability in solving several current pollution
monitoring problems, namely; 1) determining mixing layer height over large geographical
areas in short periods of time, 2) determining point source plume dimensions, and
3) determining the dimensions of and structure within an urban plume.
APPROACH: The system design utilizes whenever possible, off-the-shelf components
including the laser transmitter. Much of the electronics control and readout subsystem
is implemented utilized niicroprocesser systems thus shifting the construction burden
from hardware to software. Much attention is given in the design to operator inter-
action including a real time display system for the data.
CURRENT FLAMS: The optical/mechanical design phase has been completed and the device,
minus electronics components, will be delivered by January 1977. Systems design work
has been completed on electronics portion of the device, however actual implementation
in hardware and software will commence after flight testing of the optical system.
The completed system will be operational by December 1977.

OBJECTIVE: The ultimate objective of this program is to develop an active airborne
uonitoring system capable of providing quantitative data on the organic pollutional
load of surface waters.
APPROACH: The principal employed is an extension of the laboratory technique of
spectrofluorometry. A water sample is irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light of a
specific wavelength and intensity and the resultant fluorescence emission is then
monitored using a monochromator-multichannel detector combination. The fluorescence
signal arises from dissolved organic materials both man-made and natural in origin
rather from the water itself which does not fluoresce. However, the water molecule
emits a Raman band which for very dilute aqueous solutions of organics, has a constant
amplitude for given intensity of excitation radiation. This water Raman emission band
can therefore be conveniently employed as a built in reference source with which to
compare the amplitude of the concurrent fluorescence emission. The normalized
amplitude of the signal then provides information concprning the concentration of the
dissolved organics.
CURRENT PLANS: A number of reports have been published recently which indicate that
this UV induced fluorescence emission is proportional to the Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
value. It is planned to explore this relationship in more detail with the purpose
of establishing a firm value for a correlation coefficient.
Based on the findings of this correlation study, an airborne laserfluorosensor will
be designed, built and tested. This system will have the capability of continuously
monitoring and recording the TOC value for the surface water below the aircraft.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK- (1) Objectives. (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 worda or less. Omit confidential data).
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this program is to develop an airborne monitoring system
capable of detecting and measuring the type and degree of vegetation stress induced in
natural and agricultural vegetation by specific atmospheric pollutants such as ozone,
sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide.
APPROACH: The approach which has been adapted employs the method of fluorescence
spectroscopy whereby changes in the laser induced fluorescence characteristics of
specific plant types will be observed before, during and after a simulated pollution
episode.
The measurements will be conducted in vivo with the laser radiation tuned to excite
two groups of substances in the leaf tissue, viz. the pigments responsible for photo-
synthesis and the overall cellular and intercellular leaf material.
Pollutant stress induced changes in the fluorescent characteristics will then be obser\|ed
anci recorded; these are the changes in the amplitude of the fluorescence emission, in
both the excitation and emission spectra and in the fluorescence decay time.
CURRE'IT PLAMS: The test plants will be grown in an environmental growth chamber under
conditions of controlled temperature, humidity and light and into which specific con-
centrations of pollutant gases can be added. Groups of specific plant types will be
exposed to tuned laser radiation from above in a simulated remote sensing configurator
The fluorescence emission is collected by a telescope and focused onto a monochromator
whereby the dispersed radiation is detected, displayed and converted into a DC signal
suitable for chart recording.
Data obtained from these measurements will then be utilized in the design of an airborr
system capable of measuring these stress induced fluorescence changes.

Current
Progress:
To develop a statistical base for evaluating the necessary frequency of
sampling and analysis for data collection designed to assure accuracy in
determining short-term trends in water quality in streams and lakes.
Conversely, the average percent deviations for sampling intervals
greater than daily will be determined.
Daily sampling, both grab and composite, will be conducted at 6 stream
sampling sites and 3 lake sites. These samples will be analyzed for 17
parameters. Data will be related to water-shed size, stream flow
characteristics, physiographic features, and climatology. For lakes,
the data will be related to size, depth, area, characteristics of the
drainage area, and climatology.
Sampling has started and analyses are being made. Other than analyses
data, no output is expected until the end of the project. Sampling will
continue for 2 years. At the end of the sampling period, the average
percent deviations will be determined from the median of the one day
sampling frequency and the 10 and 90 percentiles when 2, 4, 7, 14,
the 5-day work week, and the Monday, Wednesday, Friday intervals are
used. Deviations from the 1-day annual daily mean will also be
determined.

Obj ective: Conduct research on the development of techniques to monitor potentially
hazardous effluents and emissions from nuclear fuel cycle facilities.
Approach: Characterize the physical and chemical properties and radiation levels of
plutonium and other actinide discharges from a mixed uranium and plutonium oxide fuel-
fabrication facility. Recommend and collaboratively test methods for monitoring
plutonium, uranium and thorium in soil, air and water, including the development of
appropriate reference materials for calibration.
Current Plans and/or Progress; A tentative EPA reference method for the analysis of
plutonium in soil has been developed and collaboratively tested. A second method
recommended by ERDA for the analysis of plutonium in soil is currently undergoing
collaborative testing. Efforts are underway to develop a reference method for the
analysis of plutonium in air. Future plans are to begin the evaluation of currently
available methods for measuring uranium and thorium in the environment.
The physical and chemical properties and radiation levels of plutonium and other
actinide discharges are being characterized under contract from samples collected at
a mixed, uranium-plutonium oxide fuel fabrication facility. Stack sampling has been
completed and the samples are currently being analyzed through an Interagency Agreement
with the U.S. Air Force Technical Applications Center. Environmental air, soil, and
vegetation samples are also being collected and analyzed.

Objectives To develop and maintain a quality assurance program which continuously meets
the needs of those laboratories having responsibility for radiation monitoring in the
environs of nuclear reactors and nuclear and fossil fuel extraction and processing
facilities. This includes the distribution of calibrated samples and reference material:
cross-check studies, instrument development, and the publication of instrument quality
control procedures and pertinent guidelines.
Approach An ongoing radioactive standards calibration and distribution program and a
laboratory intercomparison studies program have been in operation at EI1SL-LV since 1972
and are continuing on schedule. However, monitoring of the exploration, development,
and utilization of energy sources will require a continual and expanded need for both
naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides for use in the preparation of standard
reference materials, standard reference samples, and intercomparison studies.
Current Plans/Progress Standard reference materials, calibrated samples, and guidelines
required for the analysis of samples obtained by monitoring activities in the vicinity o:
nuclear facilities, fossil fuel extraction and utilization activities, and geothermal
sites will continue to be made available.
A "state-of-the-art" beta counting system has been designed, constructed, is
operational and is in the final testing stages.
Guidelines describing calibration and quality control procedures for radiation
monitoring using gamma spectroscopy and liquid scintillation counting have been prepared
An IAG was negotiated with NBS for the production of 300 radium-228 standards and
for studies to assure our continued traceability measurements to the NBS.

The aerosol Research Branch of the Environmental Protection Agency
with the assistance of the Aerosol Group at Florida International
University and Florida State University collected samples of urban
aerosols in Miami, St. Louis and Pittsburgh during the summer of 1975.
Preliminary data generated through proton induced x-ray emission,
PIXE, have been submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for
some of the samples collected during this time. This proposal is to
support the reduction of this data. The analysis of the data will be
done in cooperation with R. K. Patterson of the aerosol research
branch. The tasks necessary for this data reduction include a)
coordinate the irradiation of the remaining samples from St. Louis and
Pittsburgh on the Van de Graff accelerator at Florida State University;
b) Extract the elemental concentrations from the spectral data
generated in a; c) Prepare plots of the elemental concentrations as a
function of time or particle size, whichever is appropriate; d)
Prepare reports which will attempt to explain the measured aerosol con-
centrations by considering available meteorological emission inventory
and chemical balance data.

The purpose of the 1976 MISTT study is to extend the results of previous
studies to cover larger distances from the sources and obtain.more de-
tailed knowledge of the chemical processes occurring in polluted air. The
aerosol formation processes as well as gaseous plume chemistry will be
the subject of continued study. Conversion rates and mechanisms identified
earlier need to be verified under a variety of meteorological conditions. The
aerosol chemistry of the urban and power plant plumes will be examined us-
ing new techniques which will yield information on substances other than sul-
fate. In addition to refining our understanding of the chemical processes, the
1976 program will attempt to better, define the regional transport and accumu-
lation mechanisms at work in the Eastern United States. The project will be
expanded from the immediate St. Louis area to include the study of pollutant
accumulation and transport in synoptic scale, slow moving, stable air masses.

The increasing demand for energy In the face of shortages of available fuels has
resulted in the emergence of new processes and technologies aimed at increasing the
energy output from fossil fuels. As the requirement for energy increases, the impact:
of such processes on air quality must be evaluated. The operations for consideration
are shale oil production, petroleum refining, and coal mining, combustion, and gasifi-
cation. Conventional mobile and stationary combustion sources have been the major
contributors to the photochemical pollution burden in many areas. Composition and
emission rate information coupled with oxidant-forming potential from smog chamber
investigations will enable EPA to assess the future impact of new energy sources on
air quality.
The objectives of this investigation are:
• To perform a literature survey to gather Information on
composition and rates of emissions of organic, nitroxy,
and sulfoxy emissions from various operations of the
emerging energy technologies; and
• To conduct smog chamber studies of the atmospheric chemistry
of emissions from production and refining operations related
to coal and oil-shale conversion and petroleum refining.

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 snail 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 long term objective of the proposed research is to identify substances in
wastes and effluents from energy-related processes. Information developed from this
program will assist researchers who are concerned with control technology and monito-
ring techniques and the health and ecological effects of such energy-related pollution.
The proposed work is divided into three phases. Phase A consists of a state-of-the-art
summary and work planning which constitutes contacting EPA personnel to determine which
energy—related solid waste and aqueous effluents have been analyzed for the purpose of
Identifying and measuring pollutants and which current contracts and projects will pro-
vide further Identification. It will also consist of judging the reliability of exis-
ting information and the probability of accumulation of adequate data from current con-
tracts and projects using pre-selected criteria. This information will be collated and
summarized in a report for EPA. The report will identify gaps in existing and probable
future data on chemical elements and volatile organic compound in solid wastes and
aqueous effluents from coal mines, oil refineries, oil-shale processors, coal-fired
power plants, coal liquefaction and coal gasification plants. Phase B consists of se-
lecting sampling sites based on the recommendations from the report prepared in Phase
A. The specific alma of Phase C consist of: (a) development and setup of analytical
protocol, (b) qualitative and quantitative analyses for elements and organics in
aqueous and solid wastes from the selected energy-related processes, and (c) the inter-
pretation and collation of data obtained.
The proposed methods of analyses for the elements consists of flameless atomic ab-
sorption for mercury and spark source mass spectrometry for the qualitative and quanti-
tative analysis for all elements through uranium in the periodic table of the elements
excepting oxygen, helium, hydrogen, neon, krypton, zeon, radon, nitrogen, carbon and
mercury. Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in water and solid samples will
be identified primarily by gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/computer analysis

The evolution of a new Federal Coal Leasing Program has placed new amphasis on mining
the shallower coal deposits of the western United States. A critical variable to be
considered is the competition of the shallow coal raining operation with other estab-
lished land uses. The competition has been especially focused at the existing agri-
cultural iand uses within alluvial valley floors. Alluvial valley floors are combin-
ations of geologic, hydrologic and land use factors, usually agricultural land use, thai
because of the storage of shallow ground water, are important to the economic well-
being of agricultural operations in the semi-arid western United States. However, the
specific interactions of the geologic, hydrologic and biologic functions of such low-
land cjrainagesareas are not sufficiently represented In existing sourcesoof data to
permit certain identification without field investigations of situations which may
differ (differ in the climatologlcal, geologic, hydrologic, and biologic sense) from
those areas recently Investigated (southcentral/eastern Montana, northeastern Wyomino).
Experience has shown that reconnaissance mapping on a county-basis can be accurately
extrapolated to larger drainage basins to project the extent of potential conflicts
•between established agricultural land uses of the alluvial valleys and the surface
mining of coal. Selected proposals for federal surface coal mining legislation and
regulations address alluvial bailey floors and protection of the functions th-.r^of to
differina degrees. Montana has shown great interest in assessing the relative important
6f the alluvial valley floors. This effort will therefore involve a reconnaissanca
mapping of surface driinages in a three-county area of northeastern Montana (Oawson,
Richland, and McCone counties). In addition, appropriate measures will be identified
to protect the Mater-dependent sesources of agriculturally-important alluvial valleys
where such valleys have potential to be affected by the coal resource.

The objective is to increase the sensitivity of existing ammonia gas detectors by
preconcentration techniques.
Our Study win result in the selection of a preconcentration method which can
satisfy the following requirements:
1) Extend the detection limit of the microwave instrument to 1 ppb in air.
2) Operate in a automatic mode.
5) Be field useable.
After an exhaustive investigation of trapping materials for ammonia we have
concentrated our efforts on two techniques. One is the use of a chromatographic
packing material, chromosorb 104, as a trap for ammonia. The other is cryogenic
cooling to -125° C by liquid argon. Both of these show the highest promise for quan-
titative trapping of ammonia. The cryogenic technique so far has shown to be the
best trap while the chromosorb 104 lends itself most readily for automatic field use.
We are continuing to compare these two techniques for optimum use.
We have designed and constructed an integrator/preconcentrator module which
atomates the trapping, flashing, and integrating functions. The operation of this in-
strument is described in a report UCID 17174, An instrument has been delivered to the
Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, where it will
be tested by Dr. William McClenney with other ammonia detectors such as chemilumen-
scent and laser opto-acoustic.
Our work will continue to determine quantitative reproducibility and lower
detectable limits. Then we will test the combination of preconcentrator/microwave
detector for field use and report on the results.

The objective of this program is to develop techniques and procedures for
the measurement of sulfate and acid sulfate in atmospheric aerosol material.
The approach is based on the determination of the infrared absorbtion spectra
or other characteristic spectra of the aerosol material and its derivatives.
Progress during the past year has included development of procedures that pre-
serve the acidity of samples collected on filters during the samples prepa-
ration steps prior to obtaining the spectrum. The infrared characterization
technique has been compared in the field with other methods for the measurement
of sulfate and acidic sulfate aerosol. Current plans are to continue to develop
new techniques and improved procedures for sulfate aerosol characterization.

The objectives of this project are evaluation of existing particulate, stack
sampling procedures (EPA Method 5), including probes and filter media, and development
of an extractive stack sampler without the limitations of the existing sampler. This
sampler should measure total particulate mass and particle size characteristics con-
veniently, rapidly and accurately.
Evaluation of existing stack probes and filter media has been initiated Deposi-
tion of monodisoerse dye aerosols and polydisperse fly ash and glass bead aerosols in
several size ranges was measured under representative flow (14 and 23 Jt/nrin) and temp-
erature (140-160°C) conditions. Deposition in the sampling probe ranged from 94% using
a 13 urn mmd glass aerosol to 1.5% with a 1.2 um dye aerosol. The probe nozzle (parti-
cularly the 0.25 inch diam nozzle) is the major deposition point.
Collection efficiencies of two commonly-used glass fiber filters against monodis-
perse fluorescing dye aerosols are being measured at 11, 21, and 28 Z/min and 160°C
conditions. Mass measurements by a fluorometric technique of aerosol material collectec
on a backup reference filter provides data for calculating efficiency of the test fil-
ter. Preliminary filter efficiencies range from 94 to 99.9%, somewhat lower than ex-
pected. Confirming experiments are planned.

The broad objectives of this study are to develop the basic science,
the investigative methods and the hardware so that the demanding
analytical requirements associated with the characterization of organic
and inorganic pollutants in aqueous effluents from energy generating
sources can be met in a viable practical manner. The specific
effluents on which attention will be focused include waste or scrub
water effluents from the mining, processing, and conversion of coal,
acid mine drainage liquids, leachates and runoff from spent solid
waste piles, and ground, .surface, and estuary waters in the vicinity
of coal operations and geothermal energy plants. The specific projects
are (a) critical comparison of activated carbon and macroreticular
resins for the isolation and characterization of trace organic
pollutants in water; (b) development of chelating resins with
macroreticular organic matrices for the isolation of heavy metal
pollutants from estuary waters; and (c) expansion of the project on
development and application of an inductively-coupled plasma analytical
system for the simultaneous multielement determination of trace
elemental pollutants.

Plans to develop a large scale oil shale processing technology in the Green
River formation must include surveilance of related effluents. This project focuses
on the development of methods for the chemical characterization of aqueous effluents
associated with the retorting processes; attention is being given principally to
organic and trace metal components.
Organic components are being analyzed by several methods under development.
First, major organic components are analyzed directly by gas chromatography with no
sample pretreatment. Minor and trace organic components are removed from the samples
by adsorption on activated carbon, neutral macroreticular resins and ion exchange
resins. Profiling of components is carried out using gas chromatographic methods
employing standard and specific element detectors. Fractionation of the organic
mixture is followed by identification and quantification of some specific molecular
species, e.g., phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and some nitrogenous bases.
Trace metals will be determined simultaneously by spark source mass spectrometry.
Samples of retort product water were obtained from the Laramie Energy Research
Center. Activated carbon extraction is being carried out on this and other aqueous
samples from a coal conversion process to gain some detailed knowledge of extraction
efficiencies for compound classes using this technique. When the extraction procedure
is sufficiently developed, instrumentation for automation of this step will be developed
concernitantly with chemical characterization studies.

Oil refining processes have associated effluents which may be detrimental to'
health and/or environment. Although many gaseous effluents have long been identified,
detailed knowledge of aqueous effluent streams requires additional scrutinity in
order to assure a minimum hazard.
The scope of this project includes the chemical characterization of organic
components in process waters admitted to the environment. This will be accomplished
by the development and application of methodology suitable for the extraction,
concentration, fractionation and chemical characterization of the organic components.
Plans and present efforts involve the adaptation of extraction procedures for
the efficient separation of organic compounds of all important classes. A large
number of major organic components can be analyzed directly by gas chromatography
with no sample preparation. Minor and trace organic components are removed and
concentrated by adsorption on activated carbon, macroreticular resins or ion exchange
resins. Whole sample and fraction profiles will be carried out employing gas
chromatographic techniques with standard and specific element selective detectors.
Specific compound analyses may be made with special concern for the levels of phenols
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Geothermal steam and water sources may provide a substantial energy resource.
Large scale production could have a significant health and/or environmental effect
since a large number of salts and compounds have been identified in effluents from
several operating facilities.
The scope of this project includes the development of methodology for the rapid
analysis of trace metals in brines and steam condensates and a screening of organic
compounds carried in aqueous effluent streams. Spark source mass spectrometry on
whole and treated samples will be employed in the identification and quantification
of metals. Charcoal extraction and concentration of organic compounds will be
followed by chemical characterization and profiling using gas chromatographic tech-
niques. Known hazardous compounds, e.g., phenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
will be sought in these preliminary studies.

ABSTRACT
The quenching constants of S02 fluorescence excited by a 216 nm deuterium
source have been, obtained for N2, 02 air and C02 . They are 0.75 ^ 0.09,
2.68 + 0.09, 1.16 +_ 0.01 and 0.74 + 0.07 respectively all in units 10'3
torr'T. The fluorescence sinal of" S0 md stack emi i
_
The fluorescence signal of" S02 in simulated stack emission in
several percent lower than that in pure N2- The presence of NO does
not interfere with the S02 measurement by a fluorescence method.
INTRODUCTION
Fluorescence in the near ultraviolet has been observed when S02 is irradi-
ated with the Zn 213.8 nm line. Because the lifetime of the fluorescence
is so short, the quenching by air even at one atmosphere is still not
appreciable. This forms the basis of the measurement of low S02 concentra
tions in air. For the application of this method to monitoring S02 in
source emission such as stack gas and automobile exhaust, one must
consider that the composition of the emission gas is very different from
that of air. Since different gases would be expected to show different
quenching properties for the S02 fluorescence, the signal would depend on
the composition of the gas mixture. The previous work was performed only
for S02-air mixtures. In this report the quenching constants of N2, 02,
and C02, the main constituents in stack emission and automobile exhaust,
are obtained. The S02 fluorescence signals are measured in various ^-62
and N2-C02 mixtures at atmospheric pressure. The effect of NO ultraviolet
fluorescence is also investigated. ("continued!

CONCLUSION
It may be concluded that the S02 signal in simulated stack gas mixture is
about 5% lower than that of S02 in pure N£ and about 101 higher than that
of S02 in air in the absence of water. The presence of 1200 ppm NO shows
almost no effect on the S02 signal because of the strong quenching effect
of NO fluorescence by C02. The results are based on a light source with a
peak at 216 nm and a half width of 23 nm. Thus the quenching effects of
stack gases may not be significant if the S02-N2 mixture is used as a
calibration gas, in view of other factors to be considered in the actual
measurement such as inhomogeneity in mixing and the adsorption of S02 on
the walls. However if S02 is excited by a source emitting longer wave-
lengths, the quenching effects may become significant.

The SO? Fluorescence Project to study the feasibility of using laser
induced fluorescence from 502 as a pollution monitor has been completed.
The following paragraphs summarize the status of- the work on the spectro-
scopy of S02, lifetimes of SC>2 and the detection of S02-
The spectroscopy of S02 was primarily done by Harry J. Dewey. More than
20 vibronic bands are located in the region of 234.8 nm (0,0,0) to 218.6
nm. He was successful in assigning the first 10 bands through 224.7 nm
with independent confirmation of the assignments by J.C. Brand (University
of Western Ontario). Band assignments at higher energies are made extreme
ly difficult due to strong coupling between the symmetric and asymmetric
stretch modes (vj and vs) of S02- As a result most bands consist of an
admixture of modes rather than pure states. The fluorescence spectra not
only permitted the above assignments but also determined the optimum
wavelengths for monitoring the S02 fluorescence in detectors.
In order to measure the lifetimes and quenching rates of S02 the Laser
Chemistry Program acquired a fast dual channel boxcar with nanosecond
resolution. The boxcar is scanned by a signal averager and decay curves
were stored for later computer analysis. The combination of the short
laser pulse (typically 3-4 nsec), fast photomultiplier and boxcar allow
determination of lifetimes down to 10 nanoseconds. Published data of
quantum yields and doubling efficiency suggested that the investigations
be centered on the 218,6 nm to 223.8 nm region of

In conclusion of this report some suggestions for possible future work
can be made. To demonstrate the ultimate accuracy and detectability
obtainable with a laser induced fluorescence S02 monitor, the above
suggestions for increasing the detectability should be carried out with
a flowing sample system similar to the one used in calibrating the NBS
S02 monitor. It would also be advisable to repeat the work with NO as an
NO monitor may also be possible with this technique. Ultimately a
detector would utilize a flashlamp pumped dye laser-double system as time
resolution would not be a problem and significantly more photons could be
obtained to increase detectability limits.

OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this program is to develop and characterize a
continuous particulate sulfur analyzer for field use. The analyzer is to
be designed so that it may reliably and continuously measure sulfur
aerosols at concentration levels as low as encountered under clean ambient
conditions (1 yg m~3) and still be usable at the much higher concentratioi
levels encountered at emission sources. A secondary objective of this
program is to begin work on a laboratory version of the instrument which
will be capable of identifying individual sulfur compounds in atmospheric
aerosols.
These objectives are being pursued through a cooperative program between
the University of Minnesota Particle Technology Laboratory and the
National Bureau of Standards.
Approach
The original instrument concept was envisioned to consist of an aerosol
collection system, an aerosol evaporation system, and a gas phase flame
photometric sulfur detection system. The collection system was to consist
either of an electrostatic precipitation, impaction, or filtration device
which would collect aerosol during an appropriate interval. The collecte<
aerosol would then be evaporated/thermally decomposed and introduced into
a gas stream flowing to a flame photometric total sulfur detector. The
resulting signal would be integrated and converted to a total sulfur

FUTURE WORK
The basic instrument concept has been established as sound. The major
problem area in the current system is the flame photometric detector.
Considerable effort will be directed toward shortening the time constant
of the instrument and increasing its sensitivity for this application.
Its response to a variety of sulfur and non-sulfur aerosols will be
investigated in detail.
At the same time work on detailed characterization on the combined precip-
itator-flame photometric detector will continue. Sensitivity to a
variety of aerosols will be measured, and possible interferences from
sulfur and non-sulfur gases, including water vapor, will be studied.
Field tests will be performed in St. Louis this summer and in Los Angeles
this fall to determine the response of the instrument to actual atmo-
spheric aerosols .
The last phase of the work will consist of designing and building a com-
plete instrument package for field use. A dichotomous sampler may be
fitted to the inlet to allow contributions from submicron and supermicron
particles to be established independently.
Testing of the heated inlet system for thermal speciation of the sulfur
aerosols is about to begin. This work will continue with an ultimate
goal of developing a fast response thermal speciation device to connect
to the inlet of total sulfur aerosol detection.
Further work with the aerosol chromatograph will include testing of the
humidity response of a number of common atmospheric aerosol constituents,
as well as field tests with actual atmospheric aerosols.

In the second method, the total hydrocarbon concentration in the head-
space is measured as a function of volume of hydrogen bubbled through the
cell in order to obtain a "finger print" of the petroleum. This method
takes advantage of the fact that the total hydrocarbon concentration
depends only on the concentrations of each individual hydrocarbon and
its partition coefficient.
The hydrogen head-space is fed directly into a hydrogen flame detector.
The detector signal is plotted against the hydrogen volume.
The third method is concerned with comparing the fluorescence spectra of
an aqueous extract of petroleum before and after extraction with electro-
lylically generated hydrogen. Since the fluorescence compounds in the
water extract have different partition coefficients their concentrations
and hence their spectra will be changed by the extracting process.
A fluorescence cell was modified to an electrolytic hydrogen extraction
cell by the addition of a gold electrode at the base of the cell and
electrode-salt bridge near the top of the cell. This cell was contained
in a constant temperature bath located in the optical bath of a fluores-
cence spectrometer. The fluorescence spectrum of the water extract was
measured prior to and after hydrogen extraction.

ABSTRACT
In cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other
Government agencies, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) is developing
methodology and Standard Materials for measuring the environmental effects
resulting from increased energy production. The NBS Analytical Chemistry
Division is initiating research and development in the areas of Reference
Materials, instrumentation, and methods required for monitoring air and
water quality associated with energy production.
OBJECTIVE
The research and development leading to Reference Materials, instrumenta-
tion and methods urgently needed for the monitoring of air and water qual
ity associated with increased energy development of many different types.
MOTIVATION
Due to the current and future energy problems facing the U.S., it has
become imperative for the rapid development of the internal energy capa-
bilities of this country. In order to maintain an acceptable level of
environmental pollution, the methods devised for increased utilization of
these internal energy sources (e.g. petroleum, coal, uranium, geothermal)
must be adequately evaluated and monitored for effects on air and water
pollution. In order to effectively carry out its responsibilities in

these areas, the EPA has requested the assistance of the NBS Analytical
Chemistry Division for research and development of Standard Reference
Materials.
APPROACH
The overall approach to be taken involves three (3) basic steps. First,
in areas of well-defined pollution effects the emphasis will be on the
development and Certification of Standard Reference Materials (SRM's) to
enable effective quantitation. Examples of such well defined pollution
effects include gases in air pollution (e.g., sulfur dioxide, carbon
monoxide) and trace metals in water pollution (e.g., mercury, arsenic,
lead). Second, in areas of known effects but imperfect measurement
methodology, research and development on analytical methods and instrumen-
tation will be undertaken. Examples of these areas include particulates
and trace organics in air and water pollution. Third, in areas of new or
increased energy production techniques (i.e., coal gasification and lique-
faction, uranium production, etc.) a series of workshops will be held to
help define the current state-of-the-art, and future requirements for
analytical Reference Materials and methodology for air and water pollution
measurements.
PROGRESS
Appropriate Interagency Agreements became effective on May 25, 1975.
Projects have been initiated.
PLANS
In fiscal year 1976, the three (3) research and development areas described
under Approach, above, will be initiated. A number of SRM's will be pro-
duced and Certified. Investigations into the relevant raw materials,
products and residues from the various energy systems will be made. A
series of Workshops on the energy production processes and their pollu-
tion potential will be held to determine SRM's required.

The 22SRa-in-soil standard is being prepared from Moncos shale, which was
ground, milled, blended and sieved by EPA-LV. Homogeneity tests have been
conducted on lOg and lOOg samples, and the results show no need for
further homogenizing. Five lOg samples were radiochemically analyzed for
226Ra using a fusion technique and ionization chamber counting of the
222Rn. The results agree with corroborative measurements on emitted y
rays using a Ge(Li) detector, and known y-ray abundances.
Plans are nearly complete for the 239Pu standards and production will
begin within the next two months.

The objective of this program is to develop a numerical model which will predict
the movement and concentration of spilled oil in the oceans as a function of
space and time. The program also includes provisions for forecasting current,
wind, and wave fields that have not previously been available.
To accomplish this objective, the program is divided into seven tasks: (1) Surface
wind field, (2) Ocean currents, (3) Direct wind drag effects, (4) Wave transport,
(5) Sea-Air pollutant transfer, (6) Horizontal turbulent diffusion, and (7) Modal
integration. Tasks (1) and (7) are done in-house and the rest of the work is to
be done by contract. The final result of the project will be an operational oil
spill trajectory forecast program.
Considerable progress has been made on the surface wind task. A contract was
awarded and two additional contracts will soon be awarded. We have coordinated
with related projects within NOAA and other agencies. Planning and model inte-
gration is in progress.

standardization and intercalibration of sampling and analytical methodologies
in the marine environment. Effort will be concentrated on developing
appropriate mechanisms for coordination of standardization and intercalibra-
tion activities among state, local, and private agencies.
In support of this objective, contracts have been awarded for the develop-
ment of a dissolved oxygen laboratory standard and a dynamic test standard for
current meters; a transfer standard for interlaboratory calibrations has been
procured; and an investigation into the traceability of in-situ water quality
measurements compared to existing chemical standards has begun.
Current plans include the development of a users' guide for optical
instrumentation; an evaluation of quality of data obtained from water quality
"test kits"; a comparison study of water analysis methods utilized for seawater
in reference to standard techniques developed for fresh water; and establish-
ment of an interlaboratory calibration capability for precision pressure
sensors.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives. Approach, (3) Current PUns and/or Progress (200 wards or leal. Omit confidential data).
In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work In progress are exchanged with goverrucBnt and private agencies sup-
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
(1) Objectives (two tasks):
a) Develop and verify economical lidar measurement techniques for remote tracing and
analyzing of pollutants arising from power plants.
b) Develop and test an operational, infrared, continuous-wave Doppler lidar sensor
for high resolution measurements of atmospheric wind, turbulence, and aerosol back-
scatter aspects of pollutant transport.
(2) Approach:
a) Vi'e are extending the capabilities of the existing pulsed lidar to include polari-
zation sensitivity and multiwavelength operation. This equipment is being used in
field experiments at Colstrip, Montana and in various Colorado locations to test the
plume characterisation capability of the lidar. Experimental developments are guided
by theoretical studies on aerosol backscatter properties.
b) The WPL mobile Doppler lidar system is being applied to wind profile measurements
in various environments and to the velocity structure of natural atmospheric vortices
Equipment modifications are underway to improve the lidar capability in stack emissicr
measurements, three-component wind profiles, and large-diameter aerosol profiles.
(3) Progress:
a) Lidar backscatter data on intensity and polarization from various natural and man-
made atmospheric particles has been obtained in three different locations. Depolar-
ization is a significant aerosol identifier. Theoretical calculations are underway.
b) Doppler lidar 1-component wind profile measurements have been completed in desert,
seacoast and urban environments. Preliminary velocity data is available on cooling
tower plumes and power plant stack-effluents.

(1) Objectives: Provide information on the size, shape, and chemical composition
of atmospheric pollutants from power plants under varying moisture and background-
pollution conditions. Develop criteria by which to assess their impact on the
cloud and ice nuclei budget and solar and terrestrial radiative fluxes. Provide
recommendations for control measures to minimize detrimental environmental effects.
(2) Approach: Measure in-situ by aircraft 1) primary (flyash) and secondary (gas-to-
particle converted) aerosols, 2) gases that lead to particle formation, 3) infrared
terrestrial radiation. Collect additional aerosol samples for delineating the
parameters that determine cloud nucleating and radiative effects, viz., particle
size and size distribution, shape, and elemental composition. Independently, deter-
mine the cloud and ice nucleating portion of the aerosol.
(3) Progress: 1. The Four Corners, N.M. power plant neither destroys nor creates
ice nuclei that act by the deposition and/or condensation followed by freezing
mechanisms. 2. In the same plume, a gas-to—particle conversion mechanism creates
cloud condensation nuclei at a rate of 10^ to 10^° per second. 3. During the
combustion process, water soluble sulfates and chlorides condense at the surface
of flyash particles. 4. Infrared (8-14 ym)properties of plume effluents are:
transmissivity = 0.82 ± 0.01; extinction coefficient = 0.99 ± 0.04 per kilometer;
cooling rate = 0.64 ± 0.1 centigrade per hour.

This research activity involves testing, refinement, and development of remote sensing
instrumentation and techniques for monitoring the visible effects of S02 emissions from
fossil-fueled electric generating stations on terrestrial vegetation. NASA will
collaborate with TVA in the project. Low and high altitude color, color infrared,
multi-spectral scanning, and perhaps other types of imagery and ground-truth data
will be obtained for effects on soybeans and mixed Southern pine-deciduous hardwood
timber stands in the vicinities of the Shawnee and Widows Creek Steam Plants,
respectively, for both visual and automated interpretations.

Objective: The objective of the Black Mesa hydrologic study is to define the effects
of mining and related activities on the water resources of an area in the northeastern
corner of Arizona. Overall effects of the proposed 35-year mining operation on the
water resources will not be known until completion of mining and rehabilitation. How-
ever, many questions regarding the impact of mining and related activities may be
answered by monitoring the hydrology of small watersheds. The technology of watershed
modeling is sufficiently advanced so that the necessity of a lengthy precalibration
period is eliminated.
Approach; Three watersheds of 400 acres each were selected along one of the principal
tributaries in the area of mining to monitor the hydrology of a watershed under natural
conditions and throughout the period of mining and rehabilitation. Rainfall, stream-
flow, sediment load, quality of water including trace elements and carbon derivatives,
and other data such as vegetal cover are being collected. Instrumentation of three
watersheds is desirable in case the actual progress of mining is changed from the
present plans. Because of the remoteness of the study area and runoff characteristics,
the data collection program must be automated as much as possible.
Progress; Three small basins were selected, and monitoring installations constructed
at all sites. Reconnaissance has been made in search of a suitable location for a
monitor on Moenkopi Wash, downstream from the project site. A major part of the
instrumentation was purchased including stage recording equipment (both float and
bubble gages), automatic sediment-sampling equipment, and a number of recording rain
gages to be placed at selected points in each basin. Minimal work was accomplished
on the ground-water well-drilling.

Objective: The State of Washington contains many coal deposits of potential economic
significance. Basic water resources data are needed in the potential coal mining areas
in in order to evaluate (1) the hydrologic problems involved in developing the coal,
(2) the availability of water for producing or processing the coal, and (3) the envir-
onmental impact of the coal mining activity.
Approach: Water resources data will be collected and analyzed for three or more areas.
GW studies will emphasize availability of water and protection of shallow aquifers.
Streamflow data will be collected for analysis of low, mean, and peak flow character-
istics. Baseline QW data will be collected, especially selected solutes, pH,
temperature, and turbidity.
Progress: Baseline studies at Gallop Creek in the northwestern part of the State are
in progress. At the lower station on this Creek downstream from a proposed mine portal,
sampling at monthly intervals for common ions, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, suspended
load and benthic invertebrates is in progress. Field measurements of discharge, pH,
specific conductance, and atmospheric pressure are also being made. On a qu.-rterly
basis, samples are taken for analysis of the dissolved species of significant heavy
metals.

Objective; To establish a network for collecting hydrologic information in the energy
development areas of the Chaco River basin in northwestern New Mexico, which will be
complementary and supplementary to current investigation. The information is to help
d&fine baseline or present water-quality conditions of both surface and ground-water
resources which will help determine the effects of present and proposed energy
development in the area.
Approach: Operate a stream flow and quality station at the Chaco River at Chaco Canyon
samples by Park S. Staff; (2)'collect four sets of samples at 10 sites by single-stage
point samplers; (3) operate significant peak quality station at existing stream flow
station Chaco River near the mouth by automatic pump sampler; (4) collect and analyze
bed material samples for particle-size and trace elements that may be transported with
storm flow; (5) collect and analyze chemically, samples from 10 wells from potential
uranium mining area; (6) collect and analyze chemically, water samples from alluvial
bed of dry arroyos.
Progress; A gaging station, surface and quality of water, was established on the Chaco
River at Chaco Canyon National Monument. An automatic pump sampler (PS-69) was
installed, and a pump sampler shelter was erected on the Chaco River near Waterflow,
KM, which is near the river's mouth. The automatic pump sampler is activated for storm
event sampling for both suspended sediment and chemical quality analyses. Also, a
continuous temperature and specific conductance recorder was installed at this site.

Objective: (1) To document at a reconnaissance level the occurrence of basic inorganic
and organic constituents in surface and ground waters of the coal raining regions of
Ohio; (2) to relate the water-quality parameters to basin characteristics; (3) to make
the basic data available to those concerned with finding a solution to the problem of
water-quality degradation from mine drainage.
Approach: About 150 sampling sites, predominately surface water, but also a few ground
water, have been selected in four small basins: (1) Huff Run which flows west towards
Mineral City, Tuscurawas-Carroll Counties; (2) Snow Fork which flows south thru Murray
City, Hocking-Athens Counties; (3) South Fork Short Creek which flows east toward Adena
Harrison County and (4) Spencer Creek which flows northeast toward Morristown, Belmont
County. The sites will represent the geologic framework, terrain, and mining practices
in southeast Ohio. During the study period, a number of samples will be collected at
each site in ordf.r to obtain data representative of different flow regimes.
Progress: Samples have been collected and measurements of flow made at irregularly
spaced sites along the main stem in each basin. Each tributary was field-checked and
when field measurements indicated a low pH and/or high specific conductance.samples
were taken and discharge measurements were made. The sources of water producing these
conditions were traced to their origin. Snow Fork and Huff Run were found to be quite
acidic; traced to abandoned underground mine shafts and gob piles and open high walls
of abandoned strip mines. Sulfate content in the two basins ranged from 500 to 2400
mg/1 and iron from 4500 to 21,000 mg/1. South Fork Short Creek and Spencer Creek had
pH at mouth of 7.9 and 7.6, respectively. The tributaries originate in reclaimed strip
mines, generally as overflow from strip ponds. The sulfate content in the Short Creek
basin ranged from 820 to 2630 mg/1 and iron from 20 to 1300 mg/1. The HCO-. content
was also high, ranging from 220 to 536 mg/1.

Objective: To document at a reconnaissance level, the occurrence and distribution of
basic inorganic and organic constituents in surface and ground waters in the coal
mining regions of Illinois. To relate water quality to basin characteristics and make
the data available to those seeking a solution to water degradation in mined areas.
To enable continued or increased mining with a minimum effect on water quality.
Approach; A data network will be designed and operated. Data will be analyzed,
evaluated, interpreted, and published.
Progress: Twenty sites were sampled, most four times, at locations in the Big Muddy
and Saline River basins in southern Illinois. All sampling was coordinated with
routine sampling being done by Illinois EPA and more intensive sampling by the Greater
Egypt Regional Planning Commission.
Samples collected in mining areas by USGS continue to show high concentrations of
sulfate, acidity and several heavy metals.
Experiments were made on changes in pH, alkalinity and bicarbonate between the field
and laboratory. No changes intotal alkalinity were observed on about 20 samples,
however changes in pH and bicarbonate/carbonate ratios were common. Only field pH
values are used and carbonate species are now determined. in the field for all samples
with pH greater than 8.3.

Objective: The objective is to determine the effect on water quality, sediment-pro-
duction, and streamflow of surface mining in selected areas of Tennessee. Unmined,
actively mined, and previously mined (reclaimed and unreclaimed) areas of the State
which are representative of the spectrum of climatological, geologic, hydrologic, and
morphologic variations found in the region will be identified for data collection and
analysis.
Approach; Existing information will be reviewed, areas classified in terms of geo-
morphology, coal characteristics, and mining and reclamation practices. A reconnais-
sance type QW investigation to determine the best areas of study will be undertaken.
Progress; LANDSAT imagery was used to characterize land cover in the basin. Nine land
cover categories were identified and plotted on 7-1/2 minute base maps for the entire
382 sq. mi. basin using a computerized analysis of LAHDSAT digital tapes. A composite
map at a scale of 1:62500 was also prepared. Gage construction at five small water-
sheds was completed. These 1 to 5 sq. mi. watersheds represent stripped and virgin
conditions. Continuous surface water records ;,ave been collected at each site since
construction was finished. Water quality data is collected at these sites weekly by
the University of Tennessee. An intensive sampling survey at 15 sites in the basin
was completed. These sites were located along the New River main stem and the outlets
|of the larger tributaries. At each site 45 water quality parameters were measured. In
addition, biologic data was collected at four sites. Monthly water quality and sedi-
ment sampling was initiated in November at five sites downstream from the gaged,
actively mined watersheds and above the mouth of the New River.

In tht- Smithsonian Sciencf Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
porting rust-arch and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary Is to be used for these purposes.
Objective: The objective of this study is to monitor the changes that occur in the
concentrations of selected metals and the characteristics of the buffer system in the
hydrologic system adjacent to an area to be mined. The area selected is in the lower
headwaters of the Wabash River in southwest Indiana. The data base will range from
pre to post mining following reclamation.
Approach: It is expected that samples collected monthly at five sites will be adequate
to define changes in water quality, although this frequency may be modified in response
to a continuing data assessment. Analysis of metals will include the dissolved phase,
suspended phase, and those associated with the bottom materials. The buffer system
will be defined by field measurements of pH, acidity, and alkalinity; titration curves
will be plotted for each of these determinations. Other field determinations will
include temperature, specific conductance, DO, pH, and discharge.
Progress; About 50 percent of the study area has been disturbed by mining. It is
anticipated that mining will be completed and the land reclaimed into row crops by the
end of June 1976. In addition to the mine cut itself (about 100 feet deep and 300 feet
wide), mining operations have expanded to such extent that the main stream channel in
the watershed has been diverted (by ditching) around the new operations. As yet, the
chemistry of the system has not changed significantly, at least not towards acid
generation, but the diversion has caused a large amount of sediment to be moved into
downstream systems. Considerable background data has been collected on the systems
both downstream and upstream of the mining. The natural drainage upstream of the
operations will serve as an excellent .control. It appears that the lake system is well
enough isolated from the mining operations as to be unaffected by the current mining.

Objective: To develop, test, and field evaluate flumes, weirs, and other devices and
means suitable for measuring sediment and debris laden flows, to develop an in-situ in-
strumentation system capable of measuring the mass concentration of sediment in water,
to develop an acceptable s.ampler(s) for measuring the discharge of bedload sediment par
tides so as to permit the effects of energy development, particularly mining activi-
ties, on streams to be monitored.
Approach: Flumes, weirs, and,other types of control structures are being developed,
tested, and field evaluated in the areas of oil shale and coal mining. Photographic
techniques are being investigated. A literature search will be made of commercially
available suspended solids sensors compatible with the objective. One or two instru-
ments will be selected for comprehensive laboratory tests. An automatic sampling and
data logging system to operate in conjunction with the optimum sensor will then be
designed. The complete package will be tested first under simulated field conditions.
Promising direct-measuring bedload samplers will be calibrated to define their efficien-
cies under various conditions. The effects of such things as particle size, transport
rate, bed form, hydraulic condition, sampler orientation, and degree of filling on
sampler efficiency will be ascertained. Appropriate samplers will be modified and/or
new samplers developed and subsequently tested and calibrated to provide improved
operation.
Progress: Experimental weirs and flumes have been installed on the Belle Fouche River
in Wyoming, on Piceance Creek in Colorado, and on a tributary of the North Fork of the
Kentucky River, Kentucky. The state of the art in photographic techniques that might
be applied to the problem of flow measurement is being assessed. Although the equip-
ment survey is only partially complete, a Dynatrol density gage is being tested. One
of the bedload samplers of primary interest is the Hellcy-Smith sampler, whi-h is a
pressure-difference-type sampler that has been used recently by several inves'tigators

Objective; Standard methods for characterizing and monitoring toxic substances at sub-
lethal concentrations in aquatic ecosystems are not available. The general objective
of this investigation is to determine, through detailed studies of organisms, simpli-
fied (model) ecosystems and natural (field) sites, the extent to which trace contami-
nants (especially trace metals) in different aquatic environments are available for
biological uptake, influence the production and structure of plant assemblages, affect
the growth and production of animals, and thus determine the trophic relationships and
composition of aquatic communities.
Approach: Reservoirs of trace contaminants in aquatic environments for bioaccumulation
and the physico-chemical factors influencing solute metal availability and toxicity
will be examined. Methods of measuring responses of aquatic communities to trace
contaminants that are applicable to water quality monitoring programs will be evaluated
Field studies in general will be conducted to verify results of laboratory experiments
and to Suggest problems needing further study. The reliability of monitoring methods
for detecting population and community changes due to the presence of trace contami-
nants will also be determined.
Progress; An intensive field calibration of the extraction techniques found most
useful in laboratory studies has begun. Sediments and deposit-feeders (two clam
species and two polychaete species) have been collected from 15 sites in San Francisco
Bay and analysed for Ag, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn. Several of the sites have been visited
at different seasons and two sites have been sampled intensively as a function of time.
Because of the complexity of metal-sediment-biota interactions in San Francisco Bay,
more data collection is necessary before final conclusions are possible.

The objectives of the project are to collect detailed chemical analysis of
the relatively shallow ground waters that may be impacted by mining for oil shale and
associated minerals, principally in the Piceance and Yellow Creek basins of Colorado.
The study serves to support a portion of an initial effort to improve predictive
geohydrologic and chemical models that may better evaluate the impact of oil shale
mining on the hydrologic regime of the Piceance basin. The total effort is designed to
develop the data base and analytical capability required to make evaluations. The
existing state of chemical equilibrium .must be documented and studies of water quality
made to predict effects of dewatering on water chemistry.
Approach: Water samples will be collected from approximately ten new wells and many
springs located in the Piceance Creek basin. Chemical analyses for a broad suite of
parameters will be conducted on selected samples.
Progress: Chemical analyses of water from 10 wells and 48 springs were analyzed and are
being used to identify the source and distribution of major and minor ionic species in
the Green River Formation. The dissolution of Nahcolite (NaHCC^) and the sources of
fluoride, boron, lithium, and barium are of particular concern. A complete list of
chemical constituents are given in the memorandum of agreement. Copies of the chemical
analyses are sent to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency periodically. A quasi-
three-dimensional solute transport model of the ground-water basin was constructed but
could not be properly calibrated. The solute transport model indicates that the distri-
bution of interaquifer flow calculated by a previous flow model produces about 10 times
too much mass discharge to Yellow and Piceance Creeks. Data is being compiled and
analyzed for use in constructing a profile-oriented solute transport model.

Objective: The objective of this study is to produce and calibrate a simulation
technique that projects the impact of large-scale surface mining of energy fuels in
southeastern Montana on the shallow ground-water and surface-water systems. The study
involves the collection of physical and chemical data from existing wells and from
springs and seeps. The effort would be directed at geographical areas where coal is
most likely to be developed, in the Yellowstone River basin and the Upper Missouri
River basin near the Fort Peck Reservoir.
Approach: Initial efforts will locate existing wells in the area of eastern Montana
between the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. Field efforts will then involve final
selection of representative wells and sampling. Water levels will be measured to dis-
cover gross differences in the potentiometric surface and maps will be prepared showing
this surface. Modified pumping tests may be run if pumps and observation wells are
available. Samples of aquifer water will be collected and analyzed as shown in the
attached table.
Progress: Approximately 5,000 well records fi^ed with the Montana Dept. of Natural
Resources S Conservation have been obtained for the coal rich areas of McCone, Richland
Dawson, and Prairie Counties Montana. About 500 selected wells in McCone County have
been inventoried (location accurately determined, depth and water level measured) and
about 50 water samples have been collected for chemical analyses. The well inventory
is complete in the Circle West area, which is the area where coal mining appears most
imminent. Field work is extending to nearby areas where coal is known to exist.

Objective: The objective of this study is to collect and coordinate the collection
of baseline geohydrologic and geochemical data in an area of the principal coal
resources in eastern and southwestern Utah to facilitate and improve efforts to describ
the mechanisms determining impacts of mining on the shallow and moderately deep ground
water and surface-water systems. The study will, in cooperation with the Bureau of
Land Management, involve a geologic and hydrologic reconnaissance type investigation
in the geographical area generally drained by the Colorado River system in Utah. The
purpose of the entire effort is to develop or refine an understanding of any important
mechanisms that may relate coal mining, disturbed land reclamation, and subsequent coal
preparation and use to any changes in the hydrologic regime and to develop therefrom a
capability to predict such changes.
Approach: (1) Identification of the principal areas of probable concern in terms of.
mining and local use of coal and possible impacts of these activities on the hydrclogic
system, (2) determine what data are available t:o describe the hydrology of the shallow
and intermediate aquifers and surface waters, (3) identify existing wells and inspect
for usefulness in delineating the potentiometric surface of principal shallow aquifers,
identifying structural controls on the system, and determining geochemical patterns.
Water level data from these and previous investigations will be contoured. Water
quality data from this and other investigations will be examined to determine whether
selected data may also be contoured.
Progress: Samples from wells and streams in eastern Utah are being collectc
for chemical analysis. Samples are also being collected from the coal
regions in the Dirty Devil River drainage basin. These samples are being screened for
possible trace-metal determinations. -, s—s

Objective: Water-quality degradation potential of coal-mine spoils is currently of
great interest. To adequately assess the impact of surface mining and to predict the
effects of future mining on unmined basins, a hydrologic simulation model is required.
The accuracy with which the model will predict water-quality changes in the spoils pile
and the subsequent effect of the changes on the water resources of the basin is a
function of how well the hydrology of coal-spoils piles is defined.
Approach: The hydrologic data collected during this study will be used to develop the
water-quality component of a hydrologic model which will simulate the effects of coal-
spoils piles on the hydrologic system.
Progress: Study site selection, lysimeter design selection, and a literature review
are in progress. Site selection will be finalized in August. Equipment installation
and data collection will commence as soon after site selection as possible.

Objective: To collect detailed water quality data from selected surface waters in the
areas of western Colorado likely to be impacted by oil shale development. The study
will initiate several new water quality monitoring stations and supplement the para-
meter coverage at several existing stations. The total effort will aid in documenting
the existing baseline water quality conditions in the oil shale area so that possible
future impacts from oil shale development can be evaluated.
Approach: There are two existing USGS monitoring stations located upstream and down-
stream from the Federal oil shale leases on the White River; these stations will be
supplemented for additional parameter coverage. The proposed Parachute Creek station
will be established between two different oil shale projects and upstream from major
irrigation diversions to provide baseline water quality data and monitor future impacts
from oil shale development. The station proposed for Logan Wash will provide baseline
data used to evaluate the water quality impacts of in situ oil shale development in
that specific drainage,
Progress: Stream flow water quality monitoring equipment for the Parachute Creek and
Logan Wash stations have been acquired. Data collection and analysis for an
extensive suite of parameters was initiated in August, 1975.

Objective: The objective of this study is to continue the surface water quality
monitoring program established with the USGS in 1974. Due to variation in climatic
conditions it is necessary to continue the monitoring effort for a period of years to
establish representative baseline conditions. This is accomplished in part by the
continuation of the previously established four station monitoring network and
supplementing an additional two stations to provide a more objective basis for
evaluating the possible impacts of energy development activities on surface water
quality in the Missouri River coal region of western North Dakota. To monitor possible
impacts on aquatic ecosystems the study is to be expanded to include the establishment
of a biological monitoring program. It should be noted that there are many other
water quality sampling stations established in the area and that the EPA-USGS program
is an integral part of the overall water quality sampling network.
Approach: The UriGS will be responsible for the collection and analysis of surface
water quality data in energy impacted areas of North Dakota.
Progress: Samples for a complete suite of parameters are being collected and analyzed
at the six sites. Sediment sampling equipment has been obtained as needed.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WOP
In ih. Smiihs
(1) OBJECTIVE: The objective is to develop a method of predicting potential ground
water degradation in strip coal mining on the basis of the mineralogy of the overburden.
(2) APPROACH: The approach is to determine the mineralogy of cores in undisturbed
overburden adjacent to spoil piles which have undergone extensive chemical and biologi-
cal weathering. Extensive ground water quality data will be gathered from wells
drilled through and down-dip from spoil piles. Using this data base, a method of pre-
dicting ground water quality in post coal strip mining operations will be developed.
(3) CURRENT PROGRESS: This project was funded on December 22, 1975. Due to adverse
climatical conditions in N.W. Colorado, initial drilling, coring and completion opera-
tions were delayed until March 22, 1976. Coring operations have been particularly
successful except in spoil piles where high percentage core recovery In this uncon-
solidated material has been difficult to attain.
Portable well pumping and sampling equipment utilizing expandable packers for zone
isolation has been successfully demonstrated. Lysimeters and associated fluid recov-
ery systems have been installed in selected wells. Well sampling was begun in June
1976. Analytical data generated from the initial samples will consist of over 45
parameters from approximately 25 samples. Mineralogy of core samples are being deter-
mined utilizing X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence. The first interim report on
this project is on schedule and will be forthcoming in October 1976.
A grant amendment, R-804162-01-01, is directed toward expanding the "Scope of Work" out
lined in existing Grant 804162-01. This amendment will permit several additional
mining sites to be studied, thus broadening the data base to include varying mineral-
ogical and climatological conditions and strengthening the accuracy and applicability
of the predictive nature of findings formulated in the original grant.

The objective is to determine the location in a simulated power plant condenser
system where physical damage is done to small aquatic organisms, principally fish eggs
and larvae, that are entrained in cooling v/ater. The engineering objective is to
provide design criteria for condenser piping and pumps that will minimize damages.
The approach is to pass test organisms through a simulated condenser cooling system
and to observe itr.T.ediate and latent mortality, or behavioral changes that could affect
survival. Emphasis will be on the pump design in current experiments since previous
work has concentrated or. the condenser. Effects will be associated with specific
features of pump design and operation where feasible, e.g. specific speed, and net
positive suction head. A redesigned simulated condenser system is being constructed
for experimentation in the spring of 1976.
Marine and freshwater organisms will be tested as available for collection or
laboratory culture.

The dynamics of oil-fouled receiving waters will be examined in a series of experiments
to be conducted off the Calumet Region of Illinois and Indiana, in southwestern Lake
Michigan. Here, five oil refineries discharge-oily processing-water-into the lake via
the Indiana Harbor Canal. .In a .given experiment, a quantity of Canal water will be
tagged with a small amount of an inert, non-toxic rare earth in aqueous solution. At
the same time'and place a quantity of oily refinery waste will be" released; this waste
will have been tagged with an oil-soluble solution of a different rare earth. (Rare
earths form organic complexes which are soluble in oil). Both tagged quantities will
move out the canal and into the lake, dispersing in the normal fashion. The sample-
station layout in the canal will be fixed from experiment to experiment. In the lake,
nowever, the sample-station layout will be unique to each experiment and will be deter-
mined by the observed limits of the polluted-water plume emanating from Indiana Harbor.
The vertical distribution of the oily wastes within the dispersing water mass will be
assessed by sampling the oily surface film, water at the one-meter depth, and water one
ter above the bottom at each sampling station in the area of plume dispersion. Water
temperature-data^vill be: taken, at .all sampling"points, as welly because the IHC water
forms a thermal plume as it moves into Lake Michigan. Samples will be analyzed for
rare-earth concentrations by neutron activation analysis. This technique permits
determination of the environmental concentration of each rare earth at levels as low
10~10 g/unit of sampling (usually 7 ml). Rare-earth elements such as dysprosium,
lanthanum, gallium, terbium, gadolinium, and samarium will be used. Several experiments
can be conducted without any chance of confusion by unwanted detection of prior injec-
tions .

The objective of this study is to define the interaction of petroleum hydro-
carbons with-nearshore benthic-communities JLn.±he Santi Barbara Channel utilizing
the excellent natural laboratories provided by submarine oil seeps.
We have sampled the benthic communities at two fixed stations every two months
since October 1975. One of these is in a natural oil seep and the other is
located in a nearby non-seep area of similar depth and sediment composition. Our
first two sets of samples indicate that there is basically the same community
in the two areas, but that the seep station has about 15% more species and twice
as many individuals.
We are formulating questions in the area of comparative population biology,
reproductive cycles and microbial utilization.

The objectives and approaches of this research are described in the following three
tasks:(1) effects of long-term, low-level petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) contaminated
water (source 1s Prudhoe crude oil) on the growth and reproduction of two sensitive
crustaceans (araphlpods and mysids) exposed for more than one generation. As part of
this task, analytical methods will be developed and utilized In order to determlntethe
levels of specific PHCs 1n water, tissue and sediment, (2) exchange of specific PHCs
between oil, sediment, water and organisms from laboratory and field experiments using
natural sediments and Prudhoe crude oil. A major phase of this research 1s to determine
the availability of sedlment-sorbed PHCs to deposit-feeding organisms, (3) alteration of
PHCs 1n and on oiled sediments under natural (field) conditions and the effect on
recruitment of benthlc organisms. The changes In compositional characteristics of PHC
1n oiled sediments placed 1n the Intertldal zone will be compared to settlement and
growth of benthlc animals In this substrate.
Progress Over the Past 12 Months: Task 1. Cultures of both mysids and amphlpods have
been maintained over a period of 7 months. Offspring have been reared to near maturity.
Large numbers of each species are being exposed to a constant, flowing level of 0.2 ppm
total hydrocarbons, and this will continue for a period of several months while growth
and reproductive parameters are measured. An efficient and valid system for sampling
exposure water, employing a resin column, has been developed and 1s 1n use. A method
for determining the concentration of non-cyclic aromatlcs 1n the system 1s 1n press
(Bean and Blaylock, 1977). Task 2. Results of experiments on the uptake of naphthalenes
from water and sediment exposed to oil (In 2 ways) by the peanut worm, Phascolosoma
agasslzii. are aJso 1n press (Anderson, et al., 1977). Experience and knowledge gained
Tn these studies are aiding similar research on the b1oava1lab1l1ty of PHCs on sediment
for the clam Hacoma. More detailed analyses of PHCs 1n sediment and tissues have been
developed. Task 3. Oiled sediments 1n trays have been 1n the field for 7 months and

The overall goal of this program is to determine the potential ecological
sffects resulting from possible offshore construction of a powerplant These effects
«>'-ld be primarily the results of considerable res. spension of the sedi P.LIL in the
area.
The study area is the northern basin of the Cabo Roto Platfor , -'hich is
iust '^-est of. the island of Puerto Rico, and about ten kilometers southwest of the
city of 'teyaguez. Puerto Rico
The approach to the problem is to determine the che::ical, physical, and
iyna:-leal properties of the sediment in the basin. This is to be done with both
surface and subsurface sediment. The water current patterns will also be determined.
These two paraneters will be combined, if possible to produce a 'projected trajectory''
of the sediment to help predict the ultimate location of the material, should it
be subiected to the resuspension. Furthermore, the benthic oo: .jnity will 'e
evaluated to atte"pt to nredir.t the effects, if any, that the new sediment load fay
lave on it. Trace metal analysis will be carried out on both the water and sediment
in the basin to determine what effect, if any, will be seen chemically.

Objectives: To determine the amounts and types of hydrocarbon pollutants in the air,
water, sediments and various biological components of a tropical coastal ecosystem ad-
jacent to the refinery-petrochemical complex at Guayanilla, P.R. To evaluate possible
pathways for these hydrocarbons through the ecosystem, identify components which ef-
fectively store or degrade hydrocarbons and evalute effect of hydrocarbons on local
commercial seafood. Finally, to develop and test a model of hydrocarbon transport
applicable to tropical coasts to help predict impact of a refinery on an unpolluted
coast.
Approach; A systematic sampling and analysis of air, water, sediments at potential sites
of input from the chemical plants and over a down-current grid as compared to a pol-
lution-free control. Determination of principal hydrocarbon species. Comparison of
pollutant levels during wet and dry seasons. Hydrocarbon analyses on plankton, algae,
benthic organisms, fish (two or more feeding types) and mangrove leaves and roots.
Mangroves may be a major pool and pathway since the trees and associated organisms are
in contact with air, water and sediments, since they are major energy converters of the
ecosystem and, since they are frequently in the border between the industrial complex
and the coastal water. Laboratory studies on the weathering or degradation of hydro-
carbons in tropical sea water and sediments. Use of analysis of variance and factor
analysis to understand the relationship of hydrocarbon levels prior to developing a
model.
First Year Plan: Set up sampling grid and schedule for water and sediments. Select and
use suitable hydrocarbon extraction and determination methods. Attempt to identify
major hydrocarbon components using mass-spectrograph. Start sampling and analysis of
air and biological components of ecosystem.

The overall approach of this project will be to study experimentally specific processes
controlling the distribution,transport,and effects (both physiological and ecological)
of petroleum hydrocarbons and selected toxic metals in subarctic coastal marine ecosys-
tems to facilitate the assessment of the impacts of petroleum releases in this ecosyste:
type. The project includes four interdependent tasks with the following objectives;
a. Establish a national KOAA analytical capability for petroleum hydrocarbons and toxic
metals in the marine environment for purposes of standardizing analytical techniques,
providing intercalibration services and conducting routine analyses on a contract basis,
b. Identify information gaps in our current understanding of petroleum impacts on sub-
arctic marine ecosystems and design a. comprehensive program of laboratory and field
research to fill these gaps with reference to a particular,as yet unspecified, study
site to be located in a coastal portion of the Northeast Gulf of Alaska.
c. Select, on a priority basis, and conduct specific laboratory experiments on fate
and effects of metals and hydrocarbons.
d. Conduct controlled experimental ecosystem research to determine changes at the eco-
system level and to test our ability to predict ecological and biological impacts of
petroleum in subarctic ecosystems.
Current approaches or progress are, by objective, as follows:
a. Equipment has been purchased ana routine analyses of petroleum hydrocarbons in
environmental samples are underway at the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service
Northwest Fisheries Center in Seattle, Washington.
b. A major symposium/workshop was scheduled for November 10-12,1976 in Seattle,WA to
identify current information" status and research requirements._
c. Laboratory experiments are underway to examine the interactions between PCBs and
petroleua hydrocarbons in juvenile salmon and to determine the effects of petroleum
on trace metal distributions between sediments and sea water.
d. Feasibility studies and experimental design are underway.

The primary objective of this project is to determine the chemical interactions of con-
stituents of atmospheric emissions from coal-fired power plants with particular emphasis
on ascertaining the rates of oxidation of S02- The ultimate goal is to develop the capa
bility for predicting the concentrations of all major constituents of such emissions at
various locations downwind. Instruments are carried by an aircraft to measure the
fluxes of the constituents through the plume at a number of distances downwind. Perti-
nent meteorological parameters, such as temperature and humidity, vertical temperature
profiles, wind speed and direction, and solar radiation are measured with instruments
on the aircraft and a ground station. These data will be utilized to develop a plume
chemistry model which will detail the plausible mechanisms and kinetics of chemical
reactions occurring in the plume and the meteorological influences on these reactions
so that the temporal and spatial distributions and fates of various plume constituents
may be better understood and more accurately predicted. Chamber studies of stack gases
are also being initiated to obtain some fundamental information on plume chemistry.
Emphasis for the immediate future studies will be placed on obtaining rates of oxi-
dation of S02 in stack gas.
A preliminary study (four sampling days) was conducted in December 1975 - January 1976
at TVA's Cumberland Steam Plant. This plant has two 1300 MW units each fitted with a
1000-foot stack. A second detailed study is planned for this plant in the fall of 1976,
Design of the reaction chamber has been completed and bids are currently being sought
for construction.

The sulfur dioxide/sulfate issue requires development of a scientific data base to
delineate regional effects of coal-fired power plant emissions, and characterization
and quantification of the mechanisms of long-range transport of emissions. A long-
range transport model describing the conservation balance of S02/sulfate complex is
being developed and applied to a meso-scale region (-/1000 km) centered over the
Tennessee Valley watershed. Among factors being considered are advection by wind field,
air parcel trajectories, diffusion by atmospheric turbulence, source/sink mechanisms,
and chemical transformations. A regional S02 emissions inventory has been acquired
and maintained by continual updating. A field study was conducted in the spring of
1976, and the data are being analyzed. This will be of utility in model development
and preliminary assessment of the overall problem. During a later phase of the program,
data input will be refined and comparison data will be obtained for model validation,
and the model will be upgraded.

2. To evaluate and refine models used for radiological impact assessment of direct
radiation from nuclear power plants.
Approach:
1. To place pressurized ionization chambers at various locations around the Browns
Ferry Nuclear Plant, for various time periods.
2. To perform parametric analyses in conjunction with literature searches to improve
the dispersion portion of the gaseous release model.
3. To refine models using available data on power levels, effluent releases, meteoro-
logical conditions, and environmental radiation levels.
Progress:
1. While Browns Ferry was down for repair, background radiation levels were measured
at approximately 83 locations around the plant. A report on these measurements is
nearing completion.
2. Models have been and are being developed to determine the presence and magnitude of
the gaseous effluent plume.
3. As Browns Ferry returns to operation, additional field data are being collected.
4. Preliminary comparative analyses of available dispersion study data, parametric
study results, and dispersion code results are underway.

The study is to extend and verify a theoretical computer model of thermal effluents
from power generating plants. Such effluents are generally three-dimensional and
turbulent. The computer model which will be utilized is a three-dimensional
unsteady finite difference technique. This model is unique in that the conservation
equations of all three directions are solved in an efficient manner. Most previous
models have attempted to describe a thermal effluent with two-dimensional equations
or at the very most made restricting assumptions concerning transport in the third
dimension.

The objectives of this project are to (1) identify the occurrence and significance of
trace metals in a strip mined area; (2) calibrate existing regionalized hydrologic
models using data from surface mined watersheds with several types of reclamation;
(3) develop or extend nonpoint source water quality models so that the natural-area
environmental loadings of Important water quality constituents can be predicted;
(k) relate the transport of significant trace metals and other important water quality
constituents to the hydrology of small strip mined watersheds; (5) develop relation-
ships between the chemical composition of strip mine overburden and the downstream
transport of important constituents over and above the natural-area environmental levels
(6) relate the transport of important constituents to the structure and function of
biological communities.
The goal of this project is to demonstrate methodologies for predicting the impact on
downstream biotic communities, based upon the characteristics of the site to be mined.
Sampling programs have been established at an area-mined (Jamestown, Tennessee) and a
contour-mined (New River Basin) site. In addition to routine water quality monitoring,
storm event sampling has begun in the New River Basin and is planned for a site in
the Jamestown area.
Biological data have now been collected for four months from five stations at the
Jamestown site. These data have included baseline qualitative and quantitative
information for periphyton and zoomacrobenthos plus downstream drift information for
benthos.
Fisheries samples have been collected at four stations, two mined and two control, in
the Jamestown area. These stations are sampled each four weeks, weather permitting.

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be us«d for these purposes.
Monthly field surveys are being conducted to qualify and quantify arthropod
composition in strip mine pools according to pond age classification.
Primary considerations are to identify and quantify the vector and noxious
species of arthropods present or to predict their appearance and importance
as related to coal strip mining operations and seasonal changes. Six species
representing two genera of mosquitoes have been collected from the ponds.
A total of 18 families of insects have been collected by aquatic dip net and
Ekman dredge sampling in the 9 study pools. Results from vegetation
inventories have shown a paucity of plants, both in species and in numbers.
Typha latifolia and Scirpus cyperinus were the dominant plants in the ponds.
There appears to be no significant difference in the pH of the water among
the study ponds.

of various pollutants and consequent health effects; To address this issue, studies will
be initiated to determine behavioral, physiologic and metabolic effects in populations
residing in communities where major shifts in pollutants are anticipated from coal conver-

The purpose of this task is to assess the adverse health effects which may be
associated with exposure to emissions from a coal gasification plant. Air, soil and
water surfaces will be monitored within S kilometers of a new coal gasification plant
before and after the operation of the plant to determine the levels of certain gases, hydro-
carbons, metals and other specific particulates. One-thousand households in the
same area will be interviewed before and one year after the operation of the plant to
establish disease patterns. Some 200 persons representing a cross-section of the
larger study population will have blood, urine and hair samples analyzed for specific
parameters twice before and twice after the plant becomes operational. Both disease
symptomotology and biological specimens will be compared with emissions data.

As a result of the energy requirements in the United States, the oxides of sulfur
nitrogen will continue to constitute a potential health hazard, particularly in se-
ted portions of the population. Unlike many toxic or potentially toxic substances,
re does not exist at the present time a ir.eans' of assessing the "level of these two
lutants. that an individual has accumulated, It is, therefore, the intention of this
earch effort to examine the biochemical action of N02 and S02 on both lung metabolism
nietabol•• sm in general and develop alterations that occur into a type of dose-re-
use bio-indicator.
The first phase of this study will concentrate heavily on S02 and NOj produced alter-
o;is in the chemistry end biochemistry of lipids and proteins. The second phase will
centrate on-stress-induced and/or direct chemical insult-induced release of specific
^active compounds. Specific measurements will include oxide-induced changes in lung
serum; 1) lipids (peroxides, prostaglandins, lipolysis, etc.); 2) proteins (SOg
N02 interactions producing electrophoretically detectable changes); 3) immune re-
nses (S02/ti02 induced specificity); and 4) stress hormones (histaraine, serotonin,
echolomines, bradykinins, ACTH).
Starting with acute and chronic exposures, a specific detectable change or a series
detectable changes will be investigated in regard to its or their usefulness,over
ying periods of exposure time and bracketing 0.14 ppm S0£ and 0.13 ppm MO?, as
od/urine bio-indicator tests.

The objective of this contract is to obtain a variety of pure participate sub-
stances, whose size distribution is reliably and carefully characterized, and when
necessary reduced, for use in a variety of biologic experiments. The experimental
protocols will employ participate suspensions for intratracheal instillations in
small animals, for inhalation exposures of animals to aerosols of these substances
and administration of particles to in vitro cell culture systems. In addition, a
limited number of different preparations of selected, finely parti'culate metal
compounds in combination with the polycyclic hydrocarbon carcinogen benzo(a)
pyrene are required for intratracheal administrations. These various preparations
will be used by several different investigators supported by EPA contracts, as
well as fay in-house investigators at ERf-RTP
This contract is designed to provide a centralized, highly qualified, uniform
source for particle preparation and-characterization. This will help eliminate
one potential cause of factitious variability between different investigations
seeking to contraiu biologic consequences of environmental toxicants. The specific
compounds of interest: platinum-metal or its oxides, palladium metal and its oxide,
oxides of lead",' fiickel, cadmium, manganese, copper and zinc.

The objectives of this project are to develop methods and procedures to identify and
measure the organic compounds emitted to the atmosphere from energy-related sources and
to determine by means of bioassays what fractions or classes of the organic emissions are
of potential lexicological significance. The experimental work involves the development
of sampling methods for the quantitative collection of organic emissions from coal-burning
power plants and ail refineries; the use of separation techniques for classifying types of
organic compounds and isolating individual compounds; identification of individual com-
pounds by gas chromatographic, mass spectrometric, and other methods; and the screening
of isolated fractions for toxicity by tissue-culture methods.

The Investigations of the effects of (NHJ-SIL and HjSO,, aerosols on pulmonary
function, regional deposition, and bronchial clearance wul be continued 1n order
to clearly establish the nature of the effects produced and their dose-response
relationships. This will provide a sound basis for subsequent tests with the same
aerosols on human volunteers.
Airway resistance, dynamic compliance, and regional particle deposition were
selected as sensitive Indicators of physiological response. They will Indicate
transient effects attributable to the Inhalation of airborne irritants at levels
which produce no pathological effects. Effects on these physiological functions
in donkeys should be essentially similar to those produced by the same Irritants
in humans. A major purpose is therefore to clarify the dose-response relationship
for pulmonary irritation resulting from transient elevations In the ambient
pollution aerosol concentration. '
The intrabronchial deposition patterns of (NHJ2S04 and H?S(L aerosols will
also be measured 1n hollow bronchial casts of donkeys and human airways. The rate
of water vapor concentration on aerosol growth and subsequent deposition 1n hollow
casts will be tested in order to evaluate mathematical predictions of droplet
growth from physico-chemical factors.

porting
Coal utilization and conversion products contain many compounds which affect the
central nervous system'(i.e., organometallics, hydrocarbons, etc.). The neurobiological
effects of these compounds in primates will provide valuable data for regulatory
decision making. This task calls for the development of testing procedures to study
the effects of coal products on spontaneous behavior and to develop computer programs
to define the various motor items comprising this spontaneous activity. Specifically,
the testing system will be automated to provide computer identification and analysis
of the monkey's patterned behavior utilizing pattern recognition techniques. Since
the animal's behavioral output is a composite of nervous system activity, careful
analysis of this behavior should provide a measure of subtle changes on nervous system
function brought about by exposure to coal products. Once developed, the testing
system will be evaluated as to its efficiency in detecting changes in behavior by the
administration of pharmacological agents.

The effects of acid sulfur oxtde aerosols will be studied 1n rats, guinea pigs,
and nonhutnan primates. Major variables which will be considered Include (1) biology
of the respiratory system of the experimental animal when compared to that of man,
(2) concentration of the acid mist, (3) size of the particles In the add mist,
(4) duration of exposure. Interrelationships of the latter three factors will be
considered 1n experimental design. Initial studies will utilize specific pathogen-
free rats, while later studies will utilize nonhuman primates. Concentrations 1n
initial studies will be higher than ambient 1n order to permit location of effects
in the respiratory system resulting from carefully controlled particle size
droplets. Stable, reproducible, monodlsperse sulfuric acid aerosols 1n sizes ranging
from 0.3 to 5 vm are needed to study the site and particle size response in animal
inhalation studies.
Results will be evaluated using physiological, morphological, and biochemical
techniques. Clearance gf airways will be evaluated using tantalum bronchography
and inhalation of radiolabelled particles followed with an Anger camera. Morphologica
evaluation will include use of light, transmission electron, and scanning electron
microscopy, histochemistry, and autoradiography. Biochemical techniques will be
used to study the rate and pattern of synthesis of glycoproteins.
Macaque monkeys will be employed for the purpose of validating the data from
rats in a species phylogenically and anatomically closer to man and to approach the
problem of pulmonary physiological studies on a larger species using more refined
methods.

The objective of this study is to correlate the in vitro toxicity of selected
metal oxides with such physical characteristics of the particles as surface area,
size, shape, and density. The investigation is directed toward resolving whether
the toxicity of a test compound is affected by (a) adsorption to carrier particles
having large surface areas and (b) the shape and size of the carrier particle.
Rabbit alveolar macrophages (AM) will be exposed in vitro to those particle
concentrations (of PbO-, Mnop-, NiO-, and CdO- coated and uncoated fly ash) established
in the experiments concluded to date which produce a decrease in viability to 50%
after 21 hours of incubation at 37°C and follow the time course of the changes in
viability and enzyme release. In addition, SEM examination of AM with engulfed
particles at various periods during incubation will be performed. The purpose is to
map elemental distribution within the image, so that one can locate the test element
!in the cell and determine whether and to what extent it is still confined to the
surface of the particle, or if it has been solubilized by the cellular enzymes and
where it is located within the cellular structure.

There is the potential that the present energy crisis may lead to a rapid proliferation
of industrial plants which will convert coal into.gas. It is therefore possible that one or
more of the various coal gasification procedures may lead to the release of a highly toxic
gas, arsine. The purpose of this contract is to evaluate the potential environmental
hazard of this-substance. In general, the specific aims are to: 1) determine the mechanism
of arsine-induced damage to human red blood cells in vitro , and 2) to ascertain whether '
arsine interferes with DNA repair processes in ultraviolet-irradiated E.coli and in mammalia
tissue culture cell lines. The approaches chosen for this study are based on two assumptioi
that it is necessary to know the acute mechanism of toxicity of this agent in order to
understand its' implication to human health, and that the possible relation of arsine to
carcinogenesis requires at least preliminary assessment.

The objective of this contract 1s to screen a variety of substances for their
toxic effect on mucodliary activity: using an 1n vitro model system.
Since cilia play a significant role 1n pulmonary clearance, proper functioning
is essential for defense against various environmental insults. However, ozone,
nitrogen dioxide, nickel and cadmium have an adverse effect on this system.
Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to determine if alternate energy
sources such as shale oil and coal gass1f1cat1on and liquefaction, or partlculate
effluents from power stations, stationary engines or mobile sources produce pollutants
toxic to the mucociHary escalator.
Due to the above considerations isolated hamster trachea! rings will be exposed
to pollutants jjx vitro. Parameters to be measured are:
(1) effect on ciliary beat frequency,
(2) effect on the energy source (ATR) of beating,
(3) effect on ciliary and trachea! morphology, and
(4) recovery of the trachea! rings after exposure.
In all cases, parameters will be tested for dose-response effects.

The primary purpose of the proposed program will be to determine the major
photooxidation products of petroleum derived polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).
These studies will be designed to partially elucidate "weathering" phenomenon of
petroleum at an air-water interface of marine environments. Particular attention
/
will be given to the photooxidation products which may have mutagenic or other
biological properties. A portion of the program will involve chromatographic
resolution and mass spectrometric characterization of aromatic hydrocarbon and their
biologically significant oxidation products in previously collected field samples
collected at the air-sea interface.

This work is intended to evaluate various factors influencing the effect of environ-
mental 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 metabolism 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 (i.e.^Cd, ^^Hg,
203Pb, 59Mn etc.). 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 envisagejfor a later stage.
These investigations are expected to provide a better basis for evaluating the effects
of environmental pollutants in the young.

This research is based on the hypothesis that some of the adverse
health effects linked by epidemiclogical studies to air pollution, of
which the exhaust emissions from automobile end stationary pov.-ar sources
are major parts, may be due to the ir.pairrr.ant of essential traca matcil
irstabolisr.i by ubiquitous metal-binding chemicals, toxic rretals and thsir
chelatcs. The objectives of this research are a) to characterize the
mtitals and natal-binding components of mobile and stationsiry exhaust
emissions b) to assess their toxicological effects 011 matal-dspandant
biological functions and c) to compare and contrast selected biological
parameters in aninals subjected to total exhaust emissions and to
individual components of those emissions, in particular sulfu.ric acid,
sulfates and carbon monoxide. We have established that catalyzed auto
emissions are less toxic than non-catalysed emissions, both in whole
exposed animals and in cell cultures; certain biological effects v;ers cua
to CO concentration in the exposure chaKbers, but others, such as
impaired growth and organ damage, had to ba attributed to components of
emissions yet to b= identified. We have established the presence in
automobile and stack emissions of mstal-binding agents and their inhibi-
tory effect on matalloenzymes. We have observed protective role of
nutritional zinc, a micronutricnt, on the toxicological effects of load.
Inhalation studies showed that 1I2S04 was less toxic than A12(SO^)3/ thus
indicating that the toxicity residssin the matal ion rather than in SO^.
Comparative studies on the chemical characteristics and toxicity of
stack emissions from pov/er plants fired with coal from eastern and
western regions are in progress.

Tne objective is to determine qualitative and qusiititative biochemical charges in tha
Ivngs of animals eroosed to pollutants related to energy consitr^tion, viz., ozona,
nitrogen o:-ddes, sulfur oxides, sulfuric acid, sulfates and envirornsntal trace rascals.
Aniiftals (rats) are exposed to pollutants and the effects in the lung are delineated
using 'sensitive biochemical pararnaters.
The findings of studies to date are suncarized as follot<7S. Although acute exposures
to oxicUnt pollutants generally cause a depression of lung enzymatic activities,
exposures to ozone at concentrations below 1 ppm (sinrolating sroient conditions in
photochemical snog) and to nitrogen dioxida at 5 ppm (Threshold Limit Value) for a few
days or longer result in a stimulation of lung instabolikn. As judged fra?. en^-catic
activities, lung trctabolism may exhibit an initial depression (within 24 hours) but
a subsequent elevation viiich attains the peak between 3 and 4 days of exposure. For
e^sosures involNdng 0.8 ppm ozone, a 50-100% elevation of metabolic psrsnaters has
been observed. For la-rar levels of oscna (viz., 0,5 and 0,2 ppm) the iratcbolic
changes are small, ej-Mbiting prolonged exposures to ozone (viz., 0.8 ppm) shew that
the biocheriical changes in the lung remain elevated for as long as 50 days of exposure,
but than decline almost to control level after 90 clays of exposure. For lover
levels of ozone, tha changes are found to revert to control level within 20 cUiys of
exposure. If the exposure is discontinued after a few days, the biochemical chsr.ges
in recovering amnsls return to c -itrol level within a week. It nay bs ccncludnd
that lc-.-;-levcl oxidant expostires '.ause biochemical changes in the lung, and that the
changes are reversible.

There is mounting concern over the increase in ateospheric concentrations of a variety
of metallic pollutants associated with energy consumption f.nci changing energy sources.
With a few exceptions, very little is known about the toxicity and long range health
effects of rr.any of these metals. We have previously developed a highly reproducible &
controlUble lung organ culture syste;:] for the evaluation of several snviron:r.s!ital
toxins; our studies provided useful information concerning the toxicity of these sub-
stances and also yielded information concerning the molecular mechanisms involved in
these toxic interactions leading to pulrr.or.ary disorders. In our origin?! contract
with the EPA, v° examined the toxicity of the metals Pt, Pd and Cd and initiated
investigations on the effects of Ho on pulmonary tissues in organ culture. Because of
the suitability and versatility of this procedure, we propose to use our lung organ
culture system for investigating the biochemical effects of the energy consu^ption-
related trace metals, Ru, Hi, Hg, Cu and Zu. In this proposal we propose to (1) Deter-
mine effects of these trace raatals en pulincnary connective tissua biosynthesis using
lung organ cultures; (2) Determine the dose response of these compounds; (3) Dstcmvins
qualitative and quantitative changes in collagen induced fay above pollutants. Similar
stu 2S will be initiated with elastin; (4) Correlate observed-biochemical changes with
morphological lesions; (5) Parameters of collagen synthesis will ba e/.aTiinsd in lungs
of rats exposed to the above pollutants, at tho EPA, Cincinnati, l-.'e will also inves-
tigate the effect of Cad.Tnutf on the synthesis of connective tissue macroiroleculcs.
Further additions! studies in relation to the metallic pollutants will involve
examination cf the interactions of the toxins with critical enzymes involved in con-
nective tissue mDcrcrr.olecular synthesis to determine their sitns of action. Studies
will also be carried out to determine the effect of the shove pollutants on informa-
tional r.iacromolociile synthesis in lung organ cultures. The effects of these trace
petals on Kin and Ki-iA synthesis will be investigated.

Studies have been designed to assess the health effects of exposures to sub-
stances which pollute air and water as a result of energy technologies. Enphasis is
being placed on potentially toxic agents resulting from fuel extraction, conversion
and combustion. The evaluation of the toxicty of the pollutants and their metabolic
products include a spectrum of bioeffect indices. The present program includes:
(1) The assessment of exposure to toxic organic chemicals which are associated
with energy processes and which reach man through water. The investigations include
screening for potential carcinogens, mutagens, and teratogens in water supplies, as
they result from energy sources emphasizing coal and shale oil processing.
(2) Toxicologic data are obtained for multi-route exposures from metal pollutants
resulting from fossil fuel extraction, combustion and conservation. The establishment
of additional physiological and biochemical indicators to establish a more sensitive
dose: effect data base include studies of age sensitivity and influence of dietary
composition on absorption, deposition and toxicity of the trace elements which pol]u'ce
the environment from energy-related sources; lor^-term effects of inhalation exposures
to toxic components of fly ash; biochemical effects of energy related trace metals on
pulmonary macromolecular metabolism.

The objective of tha proposed investigation is to provide sufficient data "en the
potential toxic effects arising fron e:raosura to airborne effluents froa coal
I combustion. Since coal froa the Western parts of the country will undoubtedly be
, used in increasing amounts in the future, it would be prudent to evaluate the
j potential hazards of emissions fron Western vs Eastern coal. Only limited data
I is presently available concerning the tOKicslogical effects of coal fly ash and
none is available fron Western coal sources.
Fly ash sanples will be collected directly frcn the effluent o£ a power generating
plant, dawnstrean froa an electrostatic precisitator. Two sources, one burning
Vfestern coal and one burning Eastftrr. coal, will bs utilized. The ash sanpias will
' be analyzed for trace elersents as well as najor conponenta.
Two ty?as of studies will be condacted. T1:a first will be acute (1-7 days' duration)
to establish lethal concentrations. The second will be chronic (6-11) norvcliS.
Concentrations of fly ash aerosols will range frcn just balow lethal levels down
to that found under aabient conditions in the inrediata vicinity of the generating
plant.
At least 3 species of aninals will be tasted. Measurements will include survival,
growth, pathology, blood analysis including acid-base neasurecunts, heczatology, and
pertinent blood chaaistry and enzycii determinations, tissue analysis fcr trace
•ratals and a variety of pulaonary function tests.
Present plans are to award tha contract during late 1975 and begin work by January

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach. (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words i
less. Omit confidential data).
This study is designed to determine the accumulation and elimination of a certain
carcinogenic aromatic petroleum hydrocarbon by selected marine test organisms of species
that are used for human consumption.
The two organisms chosen for the study are shrimp and snapper. There will be three
test tanks maintained for each species. One tank for each species will be used as a
control, the second tank for each species will contain the hydrocarbon at the 1 ppb level ,
and the third tank for each species will contain the 5 ppb level. Study organisms will
be sacrificed at intervals of 4, 7, 14, 21, and 35 days. There will be three different
tissues analyzed far the study hydrocarbon fr«n the shrimp. They are 1) the cephalothori x,
2) the gut, and 3) the tail. Four different tissues will be analyzed for the study hydrt -
carbon from the snappers. They are 1) the liver, 2) the gall bladder, 3} the gut, and
4) the flesh. Specimens of both species of study organisms will be drawn from the control

This investigation will examine the toxic, sublethal and latent effects of
certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and barium sulfate on larval and adult
stages of selected invertebrates and fish. Experiments are designed to determine
the effects of these compounds on (a) crustacean molt cycles, (b) regenerative limb
growth, (c) respiration, (d) heart rate and (c) histology and ultrastructure of selected"
tissues. Studies are aimed to determine the uptake by marine organisms of these
pollutants from water and bioaccumulation through aquatic food chains. By using a
combination of autoradiographic and convential analytical techniques the sites and
extent of accumulation of pollutants in marine organisms will be determined.

The purpose of this project is to study chemically induced tumors in teleost fishes
Both marine and freshwater species will be exposed to low levels of a known carcinogen
for 300 days. Fish developing tumors or other pathologies during this period will be
sacrificed and tissue from the liver, kidney, intestine, and gills will be studied
histologically. Tissues from all the fish with no grossly apparent pathologies at the
time the experiment is terminated will be studied in the same manner in order to detect
any neoplasias or preneoplastic conditions.
It is expected that this research will:
1) provide evidence concerning the quantities of benzopyrene necessary to induce
neoplasias
2) supply additional data concerning tumors in teleosts
3) establish the feasability of using teleost fish as early indicators of carcinogenic
substances in the aquatic environment, and
4) demonstrate that this type system could be used to screen compounds for carcino-
genic properties with less difficulty and expense than the methods currently employed

Objectives of this project are: (1) to develop and apply quantitative multiple-
marker assays utilizing cultured mammalian cells for the evaluation of potential
mutagenic effects of agents derived from energy technologies, and-f 2) -to-use these
existing and newly-developed biological screening systems for the identification of
mutagenic agents associated with coal and oil shale extraction, conversion, or utiliza-
tion.
This program proposes the use of multiple drug-resistance markers for forward
mutation in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, as well as in vitro and host-
mediated in vivo/in vitro procedures in the Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) system. The
markers being developed measure the frequency of forward mutation at the recessive
azaadenine-resistant marker, the X-linked azaguanine-resistant phenotype, and the domi-
nant ouabain-resistant locus. Established procaryote and lower eucaryote 'systems will
be used for comparison and reference; the most satisfactory markers in all systems will
then be combined into a standard protocol in which each of the gene loci can be meas-
ured for mutation following exposure to a particular test agent or combination thereof.
Progress to date has been: (1) Selection and validation of three CHO cell lines
heterozygous at the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase locus. These stock lines have
been tested for optimal cell plating, selecting drug concentration, and expression time;
the cell lines are now being used in triple marker mutagenesis experiments. (2) The
SHE system has been tested extensively-plating efficiency optimized, ouabain resistance
determined, with work currently in progress to optimize the azaguanine-resistance
marker. Both CHO and SHE systems have been tested with the standard mutagen EMS,
and experiments utilizing specific hydrocarbons relevant to energy technology are now
underway.

Ionizing radiation as well as various mutagens, carcinogens and teratogens are
known to induce elevated levels of morphologically abnormal sperm in mice. The ob-
jectives ~of -this~ study-are— 13 - to further-develop and apply the detection- of morpho-
logically abnormal mouse sperm as a rapid, simple quantitative assay of the patho-
logic response -of the. male gonad to toxic agents, 2} to extend the studies in the
mouse to the hamster and 3) to develop '-thennethodology -pf automated scoring -of ab-
normally shaped sperm, especially after the exposure of the male to toxic agents. Of
special interest are possible effects of the chemical pollutants associated with the
recovery, process stream and emission of nonnuclear sources of energy especially coal
gasification and oil -shale extraction in_ situ.
To accomplish these objectives, groups of -test mice have received subacute or
chronic exposures by injection, inhalation or dermal application as is appropriate.
The percent of -abnormally shaped epididymal sperm will be determined as a function
of dosage and time after exposure. These results will be compared to those obtained
by more conventional mutagens, carcinogens and teratogens. Preliminary studies with
the hamster and mouse have shown that these two species are qualitatively very simi-
lar in response. Furthermore, we are attempting to distinguish sperm morphology in
these species based on suggested differences in fluorescent dye uptake. These results
may well lead to automated analyses of sperm morphology.

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agenclea sup-
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purpose*.
The object of this investigation is to develop an in vitro assay
capable of detecting the co-carcinogenic potential (with x-rays)
of materials produced during coal and oil shale processing. Initially
it was proposed to utilize mouse tissue cultured cells and an al-
ready established transformation assay. Initial experiments indicatec
that rodent cells may process lesions induced by alkylating agects
different from human cells and that therefore their use as screening
materials might be misleading. This was shown by demonstrating that
a variety of DNA damaging agents yielded significantly different
effects on various cell lines when measured by a variety of tech-
niques. It was hypothesized that a central difference between the
lines (rodent versus human) may be the "activation of oncogenesis"
related to the strand breakage induced, rodent lines carrying
tranforming virus materials of a complete or incomplete nature,
which is lacking in most human target cells. This is being evaluated
through cell hybridization analysis using hybrids made by sendai-
virus fusion of cells lacking either (a) different DNA repair
enzymes or (b) (potential) RNA viruses.

[t is essential that the ERDA/EPA provide a means for detecting and monitoring damage to
human populations as a result of exposure to various toxic chemical and physical agents.
'o obtain an idea of the parameters to be monitored in humans, it is necessary first to
establish the effects of agents on cells in simpler model systems. Earlier experience
with drugs which act as carcinogens and teratogens has convinced us that changes in
>opulation cell-cycle distribution and alterations in chromatin structure may provide
useful early indicators of sublethal damage to cells exposed to hazardous agents. We
>ropose to examine alterations in these parameters following exposure to specific energy-
related toxic substances in currently available tissue-culture systems which show promise
a predictive indicator of response of human populations. A technique has been
developed that allows preparation of both cycling and noncycling cell populations in
tissue culture, mimicking these classes of somatic cells in humans. By combining auto-
radlogra'phy, cell number enumeration, and flow microfluorometry, it will be possible to
obtain highly detailed information regarding the cellular kinetic response of both
arrested and cycling populations to treatment with toxic agents. Results obtained to date
indicate that DNA-interactive agents elicit different types of kinetic responses in
treated cells, indicating a degree of specificity of interaction between various alkylat-
ing and intercalating agents and the genome.

A study has begun on three polycycllc hydrocarbon compounds for chromosomal aberra-
tion effects in male and female mice.
For each chemical the following experiments will be performed:
(a) Determination in males and females of maximum tolerated doses for single
treatment and for repeated treatment (daily administration for four weeks).
(b) Dominant-lethal and heritable translocation studies on treated postmeiotic
and late meiotic male germ cells. This will be done on matings within
one week after the last day of treatment of males given repeated doses.
(c) Dominant-lethal study on early meiotic spermatocytes and differentiating
gonia. In this study males treated with a single acute dose will be
mated during 30 to 42 days after treatment.
(d) Dominant-lethal and total reproductive capacity studies on dlctyate
oocytes of females that received single acute dose.
(e) If dominant-lethal effects are induced in treated females, an X-chromosome
loss study will be performed to determine whether the effect is maternal
or genetic.
(f) Dominant-lethal studies on postcopulation germ cells. Two experiments
will be done — one shortly after sperm entry and another during the
first DMA synthesis prior to cleavage.

Using rapid screening genetic assays ("Ames System"), the group is attempting to
identify mutagenic agents associated with coal and oil shale extraction, conversion
or utilization.
Primary and subfractions of products and aqueous discharges are being assayed for
the ability to inactivate and/or revert histidine requiring mutants of Salmonella.
Potential mutagenic fractions will be identified and attempts will be made to
ascertain the specific compound(s) responsible for the mutagenic action. ,
Parallel bioassays are being carried out with selected materials in yeast, Drosophila,
and human leucocytes. Thus, the validity of short-term testing for genetic damage
will be ascertained.
The preliminary fractionations have been carried out and the genetic assays are
in progress. These investigations are the initial attempts to monitor environmentally
important processes for genetic damage. The value of short-term testing as a
pre-screen for carcinogenesis of environmental effluents is being considered.

a) The overall objective of this project is to study the possible hormonal regulation
of the effect of chemical carcinogens on cultured endometrial cells. This model has
been shown to be responsive to the "in vitro" addition of estrogens and pzogestins.
Since estrogens have been found to have a "promoting" role for endometrial adenocarcino-
ma, while progesterone is used for its treatment it appeared reasonable to explore this
avenue of research.
b) The goals set for the current period were to develop the methods to study cytotoxici
of chemical carcinogens (inhibition of DNA. synthesis) and to study the possible regula-
tory effect(s) of ovarian hormones.
c) Current and future goals include the study of the effect of hormones on the uptake
and binding of chemical carcinogens by radioautography and the "in vivo" transformation
of the cells. All these studies are or will be performed in primary cultures of rabbit
endometrial cells.

A number of biological active pollutants, in particular.polycyclic hydrocarbons,
are difficult to eliminate from the effluents of the various types of processing
plants which, are either now in use or are proposed. Some of the polycyclic hydrocar-
bons are known pulmonary carcinogens but neither the precise nature of the effluent
content nor the carcinogenicity of all of the identified compounds are known,- There-
fore there is a need for appropriate, rapid and economic methods of assay of the on-
cogenic-potential- of compounds and for the study of pulmonary tumorigenesis.
The objectives are to: (1) Establish appropriate test systems for the assessment
of tumorigenic potential of compounds. (2) Carry out the experiments in such a way
that information about the mechanisms of susceptibility including the relationship of
proliferation is obtained. (3) Determine whether pulmonary carcinogens act additively
or multiplicatively in the mouse.
The aims of the current work are: (1) to establish the spontaneous prevalence
and age-specific mortality rates of lung tumors in BALB/c and C57B1/6 mice; (2) to
compare the tumorigenic effects of in vitro and in vivo exposure to benzo(a)pyrene;
(3) to test-the use of-nude, athymic mice for transplants-of-lung tissue-from: different
spe'cies in order to compare species susceptibility" for tumorigenesis.
We have established the prevalence and mortality rates for lung tumors in male
and female B6CF, and are currently completing the study of prevalence in the parent
strains C57B1/6 and BALB/c. It should now be possible to distinguish induction and
advancement of time of appearance of tumors and whether carcinogens act additively.

(1) Objectives: To develop and demonstrate a simple rapid inexpensive method for deter-
mining trace concentrations of toxic energy-related elements in the human body. To
utilize this method to establish "normal" baseline concentrations, to search for causal
relationships between concentrations of given elements and occupational, environmental,
and individual health factors. Background: For many chemical elements little is known
about what constitutes "normal" concentrations in the human body now or at various prior
stages of industrialization or about how these concentrations vary with the individual or
with intensity and duration of exposure. Yet many of these elements have already been
detected in the environment and others are likely to be added. (2) Approach: Teeth,
being ideal biopsy samples easily and readily available from statistically large numbers
of people, will be analyzed for all elements have Z>15 and the results will be statis-
tically analyzed in a search for correlations and trends. (3) Current Plans and/or
Progress: A report based on an exhaustive survey of the literature on the trace element
composition of hard dental tissues is in preparation. This survey tends to support the
hypothesis, at least for some elements, that concentrations in teeth depend upon ambient
environmental concentrations. As a preliminary to chemical analyses of large numbers of
teeth that are being collected, data on trace element levels in human enamel have been
obtained from other sources and will be subjected to statistical pattern recognition
analysis. Ancillary nationwide data on trace element levels in soils, water supplies,
and atmospheric particulate matter are also being obtained from other sources in order to
provide material with which to attempt to correlate data on teeth.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plai
• and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
1) To develop a new comparative test system, using clones of the fish ?oecilia
formosa, capable of detecting the carcinogenicity of chemicals by treatment of cells
in vitro or by treatment of whole animals.
2) The fish P. formosa may be grown in clones and hence there is no inmunological
barrier to the transplantation of cells from one animal to another. The fish are
easily raised in large numbers for comparatively low costs. Past work has shown that
if cells from thyroid tissue are treated in vitro by UV radiation or by N-acetoxy-AAF
and then injected into isogenic recipients, they give rise to large numbers of
invasive thyroid carcinomas. We have reasonable dose response curves for these effects
3) We propose to test the carcinogenicity of a number of potentially hazardous
agents associated with coal and oil shale technologies by 1) treating cells in vlitro
with the presumptive carcinogen, injecting the cells into fish and scoring the
recipient fish for tumors one to two years later, and 2) to introduce the presumptive
carcinogens directly into the water of fish tanks to assess their effects on the
whole animal. , , . *•
The fish are maintained in water purified by filtration and UV radiation in an
irradiator external to the tank. Under such conditions there is little loss of animals
from infection or disease. Fish were injected with cells treated with BMBA or with
DMBA epoxide. They will be killed and autopsied in the spring of 1977.

Objectives of this project are: (1) to develop and apply quantitative multiple-
marker assays utilizing cultured mammalian cells for the evaluation of potential muta-
genic effects of-agents-derived from energy-technologies, and (2) to use these ex-
isting and newly-developed biological screening systemsHror .the;identlflcation-of-
mutagenic agents associated with coal and oil shale extraction, conversion, or utiliza-
tion.
This program proposes the use of multiple drug-resistance markersi.£or .forward
mutation in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, as well as in vitro and host-
mediated in_ vivo/in vitro procedures in the Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) system. The
markers beTng developed measure the frequency of forward mutation at the recessive
azaadenine-resistant marker, the X-linked azaguanine-resistant phenotype, and the dominant
ouabain-resistant locus. Established procaryote and lower eucaryote systems will be
used for comparison and reference; the most- satisfactory-markers -in all. systems will
then be combined into a standard protocol in which each of the gene loci can be measured
for mutation following exposure to a particular-test-agent.or combination thereof.
Progress to date has been: (1) Selection and validation of three CHO cell lines
heterozygous at the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase locus. These stock lines have
been tested for optimal cell plating, selecting drug-concentration, and expression time;
the cell lines are now being used in triple marker mutagenesis experiments. (2) The
SHE system has been tested extensively-plating efficiency optimized, ouabain resistance
determined, with work currently in progress to optimize the azaguanine-resistance marker
Both CHO and SHE systems have been tested with the standard mutagen EMS, and experiments
utilizing specific hydrocarbons relevant to energy technology are now underway.

To develop rapid, sensitive, and economical systems for the in vitro and
cytologieal-assay for carcinogenic effects .of substances Involved in-the.extraction,
conversion and utilization of nonnuclear energy sources, with particular consideration
of in situ coal gasification, shale-oil.utilization, .coal-burning power plants, and
geothermal power plants.
Our approach is based on the development of cytochemical markers for cell
transformation, and on our ability to quantitate such markers by microfluorometry
and by flow system analysis and sorting. There are two phases to this work: (a) the
development of appropriate test systems whose response is defined by well characterized
and representative carcinogenic agents,'and (b) the application of such systems to
substances released by energy technologies, and including testing with whole and frac-
tionated samples of effluents.
The intracellular levels of several hydrolytic enzymes have been chosen as poten-
tial early indicators of cell transformation. Using synthetic fluorogenic enzyme sub-
strates, the levels of four proteases and five esterases -have been measured on mono-
layer cultures of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, Syrian Hamster Embryo cells and Human
Lung fibroblasts (both normal and viral transformed). Hydrolase profiles generated
from these measurements indicate significant differences between cell types.
Flow cytometry analysis on WI38 cells (normal versus SV-40 transformed) indicates
that intracellular Cathepsin Bl and Alkaline Phosphatase levels can be used to dis-
tinguish individual normal cells from transformed cells. These same enzyme assays will
be used to determine an optimum in-vitro system for subsequent carcinogen treatment
and flow analysis.

The objectives of this program are to develop systems for the rapid detection of kary-
otypic changes in mananalian cells as a result of exposure to energy-related environmental
pollutants and to screen selected subjects utilizing these systems. Flow microfluorometry
(FMF) of isolated, fluorescently stained chromosomes will be used to identify chromosome
aberrations, and FKF of stained intact cells will be used to detect mitotic nondisjunc-
tion. Cadmium will be used as the clastogenic agent in the development of a test system.
He have demonstrated that chromosome analysis can be accomplished by flow systems in
mammalian cells with relatively simple karyotypes (Chinese hamster 2N = 22). Cadmium at
low concentrations (2 x 10~° M) is a potent clastogen. It induces primarily chronatid-
ype aberrations. We have also demonstrated that tolerance to the damaging effects of
cadmium can be induced in fibroblasc cells in culture by long-term exposure of the cells
to sublethal concentrations (2 x 10 M) of cadmium. We plan to repeat these experiments
on human fibroblast and lymphocyte cells in vitro and to extend these studies to other
toxic agents associated with alternative energy technologies.

The objective of this health effects program is the application of modern automated
cytology techniques for assessment of damage to human populations resulting from exposure
to physical and chemical agents associated with oil shale and coal extraction, conversion,
and utilization. The approach is to apply unique flow-system cell-analysis and sorting
technologies developed at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory to determine cytological
and biochemical indicators of early atypical changes in exposed lung epithelium using the
Syrian hamster initially..as a model test system. The current plans are to adapt cell
preparation and staining methods developed for flow systems to characterize lung cells
from normal and exposed hamsters using the multiparameter cell separator and multiangle
light-scatter systems. Thi^ includes acquisition of respiratory cells by lavaging the
lungs with saline, adapting cytological techniques developed on human gynecological
specimens to hamster lung epithelium for obtaining single-cell suspensions, utilization
of existing staining techniques for measurement of cellular biochemical properties, and
initial characterization of lung cells using flow analysis instrumentation. Progress
has been achieved in measuring DNA content, total protein, esterase activity, cell size,
nuclear and cytoplasmic diameters, and multiangle light-scatter properties of exfoliated
hamster lung cell samples composed of macrophages, leukocytes, epithelial, and columnar
cells. As this new technology is adapted further to analyze lung cells from hamsters and
subsequent characterization studies are completed, measurement of changes in physical and
biochemical cell properties as a function of exposure to toxic agents associated with
synthetic fuel energy production will be performed, with eventual examination of sputum
samples from occupationally exposed humans.

Objectives: (l) To develop the means by which chemicals associated with non-nuclear
energy generation, especially agents arising from coal and oil shale extraction, can
be screened for potential carcinogenic activity reliably, quickly and cheaply
relative to current animal exposure techniques; (2) To utilize appropriate cultured
cells developed in (l) for the study of hydrocarbon carcinogen metabolism to active
forms and the mechanism of chemical carcinogenes is.
Approach- A research group with two discrete but closely related approaches to
these problems is being developed. These are (1) Cell Biology. The major focus
here will be the development of permanent cell lines of epithelial origin (human,
when possible and appropriate) which possess the enzymatic equipment for carcinogen
activation and which are transformable with high frequency. (2) Biochemistry.
Principal focus will be the study of metabolism of polycyclic hydrocarbons in
various cell lines developed in approach (l), to establish with certainty the
"ultimate" carcinogenic metabolite, using primarily high pressure liquid
chromatography techniques.

Our major efforts have concerned dose-response studies of benzo(a)pyrene (ITalP) and its
metabolites on the'mutagenicity (as measured by 6-thioguanine resistance) and cytotoxi-
city (as measured by single cell survival) in the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) system
[Hsie et al. (1975) Som. Cell Gen. J_, 2^7]. We have chosen to study B(a)P as a model
environmental agent because polycyclic hydrocarbons such as B(a)P are major nonnuclear
energy related pollutants especially of coal-related energy processes such as COED Coal-
Liquifaction ("Syncrude"). B(a)P requires metabolic activation by mixed-function
oxidases to convert 3 (a) P into active metabolites. Since CHO cells do not contain appre-
ciable microsomal activation activity to metabolize B(a)P, the direct biological activi-
ty of its metabolites can thus be studied quantitatively. The cytotoxicity and muta-
genicity of 6-phenols (1-, 2-, 3-, 7-, 8- and 9-hydroxylbenzo[a]pyrene), trans-7,8-di-
hydroxyB(a)P-7,8-diol (B[a]P-7,8-diol), l»,5-dihydroxyB[a]P-4,5-epoxide and B(a)P-9,10-
epoxide have been tested. B[a]P-7,8-diol and B[a]P-4,5-epoxide are highly mutagenic as
their mutagenicity can be detected as low as 2.5 ug/ml (approximately 5 to 6-fold over
the spontaneous frequency). While all 6 phenolic derivatives of B[a]P are nonmutagenic
they are all cytotoxic with 7-hydroxyB[a]P being the least toxic while 8-hydroxyB[a]P
exerts the highest toxicity. B[a]P-9,10-epoxide is both non-toxic and non-mutagenic up
to 20 ug/ml tested. Additional dose-response studies are underway to quantitate the
cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of these and other B[a]P metabolites. Our study shows
that 7,8-diol and ^.S-epoxide derivatives of B[a]P are powerful mutagens. Since most
carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbons are mutagenic, it is likely that these diol and
epoxide derivatives are the ultimate carcinogenic metabolites of B[a]P. We have just
started screening for the mutagenicity of various fractions from synthetic fuel process
in this mammalian cell mutational assay. Meanwhile, efforts to establish a sensitive
and quantitative in vitro mammalian cell transformation assay are being continued.

Our studies have shown that dietary phenobarbital enhances hepatic tumorigenesis
in rats previously fed the liver carcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF). This sequen-
tial treatment procedure-has proven-useful as a.means of detecting tumorigenic en-
hancers in the environment, and has shown that the insecticide, DDT, and-the food
antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene^ possess enhancing activity, - The objective of
the present work is to use the sequential treatment protocol to test the tumorigenic
enhancing activity of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benz(a)anthracene, which
serves as a model for energy-related pollutants. The approach used involves the short-
term feeding of AAF followed by the feeding of the test hydrocarbon. Increased tumor
incidence in this group in comparison with that in rats receiving AAF or the hydrocarbon
alone denotes enhancement.
Since the study is still in progress final conclusions are not yet possible.
However, on the basis of the data obtained thus far, 0.025% dietary benz(a)anthracene
appears to exhibit little or no tumorigenic enhancing activity. Since acute exposure
studies indicated that benz"(a) anthracene-is, like phenobarbital,-: an effective-stimu-
lator of liver growth and microsomal enzyme activity, additional dietary studies at
higher dose levels may be necessary to permit the unequivocal evaluation of the tumori-
genic enhancing potential of this hydrocarbon.

The use of bacterial viruses as a means for detecting potentially harmful
substances stems from earlier studies in this laboratory which demonstrated that certain
hydrocarbons known to be carcinogenic in rats also inhibit the replication of
bacterial viruses. We have now confirmed the above findings by examining some 30
different hydrocarbons and their derivatives and have shorn that compounds, which are
either known to be strong alkylating agents, or ones which can be converted into
alkylating agents by the action of intracellular enzymes, block phage replication.
We propose to fcse the infectious-nucelic acid system to examine other potentially
toxic substances, however, we are also interested in determining the biochemical
mechanism by which these reactive hydrocarbons block the expression of genetic in
formation.
We propose to devise several different in vitro systems to examine the effect of
active hydrocarbons on the process of transcription and translation. We should .like
to obtain answers to the following kinds of questions, l) Does the binding of
hydrocarbons to DKft, and RKA. affect the template activity of these nucleic adids with
respect to DNA and RHA synthesis, and if so, in which way; e.g., is the efficiency of
synthesis reduced, are errors in base Insertions made, etc. 2) Do active hydrocarbons
bind to DNA. and RHA polymerases, and if so, how do such altered enzymes differ in
their enzymatic properties. 3) Can bydrocarbon-RHA complexes serve as templates for
protein synthesis; if so, are the proteins made the same or different from nonconrplexed
templates. !»•) What is the effect on protein synthesis when ribosomes are reacted
with active hydrocarbons.
Answers to the above questions should help in understanding how these potent
chemical agents (the aromatic hydrocarbons) may influence several important
biological processes within the cell.

The aim of this project is to study the molecular mechanism(s) of acute toxicity
in differentiated liver, muscle and brain permanent cell lines. For this purpose the
effect of lead upon the heme pathway and the organ-specific functions of the cell lines
is under investigation. We propose to validate these in vitro models as rapid,
simple and reliable systems to screen for energy-related pollutants.
Lead was found to: a) modulate the levels of the 'enzymes ^ -aminolevulinate
synthetase and aminolevulinate dehydrd^tase in cultured liver cell lines; b) have no
effect on the induction by glucocorticoids of the enzyme tyrosine-aminotransferase in
the same cell line; c) inhibit the induction of glycerpphosphate dehydrogenase by
glucorcorticoidSin cultured glial cells and the content of the specific protein S-100;
d) inhibit myogenesis in cultured muscle cells and e) Induce mitochondrial damage
(E.M. studies) in liver and gllal cell lines.

The hazard to man represented by many toxic metals of environmental concern
(e.g., Pb, As, Cd, Hg) depends upon the extent to which they become concentrated and
retained in critical compartments of living tissues. By measuring the degree-to
which a metal will undergo hydrolysis, protein binding, and/or incorporation within"
cells in selected animal species, the critical parameters necessary to devise
effective therapeutic measures may be determined. The basic objectives of this work,
therefore, are to identify and measure critical concentrations of toxic metals in
organs, cells, and subcellular organelles of mammalian species and to devise thera-
peutic procedures for reducing these concentrations to acceptable levels.
For two reasons, initial efforts are concerned with lead..-First, lead is one
of the most ubiquitous of environmental pollutants. Second, some of our recent work
on actinide decorporation may offer a direct therapeutic application in the case of
lead poisoning. Our first studies demonstrated differences in the deposition of lead
acetate and lead citrate in mouse tissues (D. W. Baxter et^ al^., Proc. 15th Ann.
Hanford.Life .Symposium, in press,-1976),--Present, plans Include the treatment-^of,

of the tissue distribution of 210Pb, using y-ray spectrometry, and of the cellular
localization of stable lead, using energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. In addition,
using optical and electron microscopy, we will undertake morphometric analyses of
cellular and ultrastructural changes in the brain, kidney, gut wall, and liver during
therapy. These data should provide useful information in determining therapy
regimens resulting in maximal lead removal with minimal tissue damage.

This program is a comparative study of the influence of nutrient composition on the gas-
trointestinal absorption of Cd. The absorption of Cd occurs in competition with the ab-
sorption of specific essential nutrients which accounts in part for the variable absorp-
tion characteristics of Cd and could also determine the degree and mode of toxicity.
Animals maintained on diets modified with Ca, P, vitamin D or protein are orally admin-
istered small to moderate doses of 115raCd. Absorption is determined by serially sac-
rificing the animals and analyzing for radioactivity.
In vitro studies in the rat utilizing the everted sac technique are being conducted to
determine (1) the kinetics of Cd absorption, (2) the effects of nutrient constituents on
Cd absorption and (3) the effects of Cd on the absorption of various nutrients such as
Ca, Fe, amino acids and sugars.
In addition studies will be conducted to determine the location of Cd within the gastro-
intestinal epithelial cells and the effects of Cd on cell metabolism by measuring
changes in enzymatic activity.
Mature male rats were pretreated for 4 weeks with diets containing (1) adequate Ca and
P, (2) low Ca and P, (3) high Ca and P, (4) high Ca and low P and (5) low Ca and high
P. Rats from each- diet were orally dosed with 10 uCi of Cd-115 m in solutions contain-
ing either 0, 5 or 25 mg of stable Cd. Preliminary results indicate that Cd absorption
was increased in the high Cd dose by a wide Ca:P ratio or by diets high in both Ca and
P. When both Ca and P levels were low, Cd absorption was not affected. Cadmium toxi-
city appeared to be much greater in rats receiving high Ca and low P diets.
The everted sac studies are in progress and kinetic data on tissue uptake and the lumen
to serosa transfer of Cd are being collected and subjected to analysis.

This research-project is directed at..measuring effects produced in the intact
mammal by exposure to chemical pollutants. Effects are--measured at the cell pop-
ulation level, in vivo. Focus is on evaluating the teratogenic cytotoxicity of
hydrocarbons and metals- associated with nonnuclear energy production. Ovarian
oocytes of developing mice are the cell'population studied. Selected chemical agents
are administered to groups of mice, each agent in several differing concentrations.
Administration is by way of the pregnant mother during gestation and to offspring
postnatally. Biochemical procedures and chemical assays are done as required to
provide necessary quantitative dosimetry information. After exposure, surviving
oocytes are enumerated microscopically in ovaries and compared to unexposed controls.
In this way quantitative dose-response curves are obtained.

There are two important aspects to quantification of mutagenesis in mammalian systems
that score transmitted mutations. First, for compounds that are clearly mutagenic it
is important to be able to evaluate what the mutation frequency would be at exposure
levels likely to be experienced by the human population. Some chemicals have already
shown a dose-response curve much steeper than linear, and the possibility of a thresh-
old dose level exists. Second, for chemicals that show no mutagenicity in the sample
of animals examined in a mammalian test system, it is important to have the sample
size adequate to justify a quantified statement that the observed zero mutation rate
excludes, with high confidence, the possibility that any mutagenicity of the compound
could be higher than a certain low, acceptable level.
The specific-locus method in mice, the only reliable and definitive test for trans-
mitted gene mutations currently available in mammals, will be used. Priority for
these quantitative (e.g. dose-effect relationship) tests will be given to those com-
pounds which meet at least some of the following criteria, namely, chemicals which
are:- (a) mutagenic in our screening test with the specific-locus method, (b) muta-
genic in our screening test for mouse somatic mutations in vivo, (c) mutagenic in any
mammalian test system for transmitted chromosomal aberrations, (d) mutagenic in any
other mammalian test system, (e) mutagenic in nonmammalian test systems, (f) chemi-
cally related to known mutagens.
Extensive testing with sulfur dioxide has given no evidence of mutagenicity.
Benzo[a]pyrene, a compound that might be a hazard as a result of coal conversion
processes, and which gave some mutagenic effect in screening tests, is now being
thoroughly investigated.

exposure to define the tissues at risk and provide quantitative estimates of dose.
In Initial studies Involving lead, transfer and distribution are being evaluated at
four different gestatlonal ages selected to represent stages 1n the continuum of
embryonic and placenta! development. Intravenous, oral, and Inhalation routes of
administration, which will provide differences 1n the rate at which the metals are
presented to the placenta as well as possible differences 1n their chemical binding
In blood, are being compared. Since metabolism may be Influenced by the mass administered,
a low dose as well as one 1n the teratogenlc range 1s being studied. This will
provide a reference point.,for comparison with available data on teratogenesls as well
as a basis for design of studies to establish dose-response relationships.

The aim of this project is to validate the use of cell cultures from nervous
tissue, liver and muscle on fast, easy, quantitative and reliable test systems to
evaluate the potential teratogenic and mutagenic effects of trace heavy metals and
carcinogenic hydrocarbons released during the combustion of fossil fuels. We are
specifically studying:
a) The effect of lead and cadmium on general growth parameters of several cell
types.
b) The effect of lead and cadmium on the developmental expression of
differentiated functions in liver, brain and muscle cell cultures.
c) The induction of cadmium binding protein or metalothionin in cultured liver
cells.
d) The establishment of lead resistant cell lines and the mechanism for this
resistance.

There is a three fold rationale for studying the effects of chemical toxicants on the
function of phagocytic cells. Firstly, chemical toxicants may interfere with the functio:
of phagocytic cells in defenses against external agents such as bacteria and viruses.
Secondly, pathological effects of certain toxicants such as silica and asbestos particle:
may be mediated through their effects on phagocytic cells. Thirdly, phagocytic cells
mediate the pathological consequences which result from agents responsible for, e.g.,
rheumatic diseases; chemical toxicants may alter responses of phagocytic cells to these
agents and to their adverse effects.
Studies designed to elucidate the mechanism by which phagocytic cells may mediate the
pathological effects of particles (e.g. silica, asbestos, quartz, carbon) are in progres:
We have shown previously that neutrophils respond to monosodium urate crystals coated
with imraunoglobulin by releasing lysosomal enzymes. This secretion of enzymes occurs wit
out significant cell death. Studies are in progress to determine if other particles whic!
initiate inflammatory tissue damage similarly interact with immunoglobulin and to deter-
mine the effects of such immunoglobulin coated particles upon neutrophils. In parallel,
studies are in progress to determine the effects of pollutant gasses upon physiological
and pathophysiological responses of neutrophils and to determine the mechanisms of these
effects. Initial studies have demonstrated that the responses of neutrophils are depend-
ent upon the oxygen tension of the medium used for incubation. Reduction in oxygen ten-
sion results in increased release of lysosomal enzymes in response to phagocytable parti
cles, an increased rate of anaerobic glycolysis (reflected in increased lactate product!
and a decreased rate of glucose oxidation. Studies are in progress to determine the
mechanism of these effects of altered oxygen tension.

We are studying the short- and long-term effects of important carcinogenic,
environmental pollutants on the immune response of mice. The test carcinogens will
be given as single injections at 3 doses in relation to their carclnogenicity—the
100%, the 50%, and the 10% carcinogenic doses-.- In addition, we will assess the
effects of the agent when it is given daily at levels equivalent to those of an
individual at risk.in. the industrial environment. Mice will be treated at different
ages and their immune response will be assayed from a few days to two years after
exposure to the carcinogen. Immunologic competence will be assessed by measures of
antibody-forming capacity and by measures of cell-mediated immunity, both in vivo
and in vitro. A comparison of the effects of large doses of methylcholanthrene
(250-1000 ug/mouse) on production of antibody-forming cells and on production of
specifically cytotoxic cells shows that the antibody response is more sensitive
to drug inhibition than the cell-mediated response.

The contractor induces chromosome breaks and inversions by means of radiation and/or
chemical agents. He mates the treated animals and in the F"i does cytological analysis
of one testis of each individual male. If a significant increase in anaphase bridges appears
this is taken as an indication that the animal may carry an inversion; and he is mated to
get offspring for further study. Following cytological and linkage studies to characterize
the aberation, decision is made as to the utility of the inversion and appropriate marker
genes are introduced into the stock.
The contractor has induced and recovered 31 inversions. Of these, 14 have been thoroug
characterized for linkage and chromosomal morphology. One of the inversions has been
successfully utilized in tests to detect induced recessive lethal mutations.

In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies supporting research in
the blo*iciencos and are forwarded to investigators who request such informotion. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
The research seeks to characterize esterases of C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice with gel iso-
electric focusing. Esterases from plasma, red blood cells and kidney of both strains as
well as the Fj interstrain hybrid shall be subjected to two-dimensional analysis.
Discontinuous gel zymograms of these enzymes have been described previously and hence this
technique wi11 be used for the first dimension separation. Subsequently, isoelectric focus
will then be conducted using thin slab aeryiamide gels. Various pH ranges will be employee
in order to determine the isoelectric point of each esterase band.
Since the projected use of this technique involves screening large number of mice, this
contract should entail a sufficiently large sample to place a reliable confident interval
for the isoelectric point of each esterase band.

The scope of this contract is to develop an understanding of the mutagenic effects in mice
of some known mutagens, as measured by mean and variance changes in polygenic
characters.
The contractor proposes to investigate the cumulative effects of multiple mutagen-induced
polygenic mutations on a series of traits on Fj and F2 generation progenies descended
from mutagenized males of an inbred strain of mice. Fj and 72 progeny will be examined
for a series of traits including: age of eruption of incisors, mean and variance of body
weight at weaning, sex ratio at weaning, serum cholesterol level at weaning, and hemato-
crit at weaning. The contractor proposes to study at least two different mutagens in
two strains of mice.
The first semiannual report indicated that data collection was proceeding as scheduled &
statistical analysis of the collected data will begin shortly.

WOT TO EXCEED 10] IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
It is our intention to develop a new system for testing the mutagenic potential of
various envircnj.ental agents on namalian somatic cells. The basis of the procedure is
to expose cells to ::utsgen and plate out single cell clones. Clonal isolates, after
teing grown up to 40 s 10° cells, are then screened for electrophoretic variation of
the products o* over 40 genetic loci. Where a clonal variant is detected, it is iso-
lated and its heritability determined by subcloning and subsequent electrophoresis.
The procedure avoids =any of the problems associated with the detection on selective
systems of recessive nutations (auxotrophic, drug resistant, and temperature sensative)
in diploid maamalian cells since electrcphsretic mutations are co-dominant. Lack of
enrichment for mutants by selection is also compensated for by the increased probability
of obtaining an electroohoretic shift in a protein as the result of a single nucleotide
substitution in its gene as opposed to the complete loss of function by such an event
and, the study of the products of a large number of loci. Additional attributes of
the procedure are that: each variant cay be associated with a specific genetic locus,
nutations in a wide range of genetic loci may be studied, the system requires no change
in-the medium limiting the cause of any observed variation to intracellular events, and
nutations in both structural genes as well as those affecting gene expression can be
specifically detected.
Our preliminary studies using Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) have revealed that
ve can electrophoretically characterize the products of 51 structural enzyme loci and
detect variants at both structural and control loci. We wish to continue these studies
in order to optimize various parameters of the procedure — dosage of mutagen, time of
cloning and stage of the cell cycle for mutagen treatment — and to use the system to
study mutation frequescias under a variety of conditions.

USE THIS SPACE TO A3STHACT YC-fi PROPOSED flESE ARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEYWORDS
INOT TO EXCEED 101 IN YOLJR ABSTRACT.
The nation's response to the needs for energy self-sufficiency could increase the
number of hazardous agents that are released into nan's daily environment. Efficient
and economical systems are needed to predict human susceptibility to hazardous agents
and to monitor hurean populations for adverse genetic effects vhich say be caused by
unforseen nutagens. Tnere is a high probability that these needs could be cet by
further development of DXA repair synthesis. The utility of the present in vitro DN'A
repair synthesis tests can be enhanced by developing in vivo DSA repair synthesis to
r.e=£isre organ and tissue specificities of responses to hazardous agents and by using
these sane tissues zs the sources of metabolic activation enzyr.es for in vitro DXA
repair synthesis assays. The significance of DXA repair synthesis will be further
enhanced by examinations of DXA repair in prematurely condensed chromosoaes and by
correlations of the extent of DN'A repair with neasurenents of cytogenetic aberrations,
with nutagonesis of narjnalian cells, and with carcinogenesis as measured by cell
transformation.

The purpose of this proposal is to develop a modified host-
mediated assay system by using cultured human lymphoid cells as target
cells for screening chemical mutagens and carcinogens. Induction of
chromosome damage will be used as an indicator of possible mutagenicity
or carcinogenicity of a given compound. First, the growth and
cytogenetic characteristics of several selected human lymphoid cell
lines will be studied in vitro and after inoculation of such cells
in heterologous hosts, second, effects on chromosomes of human lymphoid
cells in host by several known mutagens and carcinogens will be tested
in this modified host-mediated system and third, the mutagenicity

The human population now has a lifetime exposure to an increasingly large number
of chemicals with incompletely defined biological activity. Among the least adequately
understood characteristics of .many of these chemicals is their potential toxicity to man
at his most vulnerable stage of development-conception to birth. While the more immediate
transplacental effects such as abortion or teratogenlc changes are relatively well studied.
among these agents, the often more insidious and potentially more harmful lifetime effects
have received little attention. The great difficulty in correctly ascribing gestational origin
to lesions in the human population which are subtle or do not become-apparent until later
in life makes laboratory and epidemiological Investigations in this area essential. Ongoing
studies seek to determine the postnatal lifetime toxic effects in rats of totigestational
exposure to selected environmental agents.

Regulation of Neural Distribution of Lead _
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOua PSOrCSsi; =.=Si AHCH. OUTLINE 03.iCTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY WORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
Factors regulating the entry and distribution of inorganic lead in the nervous system
will be studied under control ani selected abr.oml conditions. In the guinea pig,
1n vivo CSF perfusion will quantitate the dis3ppeerir.ee rate of J10Pb and 't5Ca across
the blood-CSF barrier. The. uptake of zi°Pb and '->-& across the blood-brain barrier
will be measured by an indicator dilution technique. These measurements will be cor-
related with levels of lead and calcic attained in brain, meninges, choroid plexus and
l? ecMt
ependysa. These indices will is determined for control animals and for animal
lead-poisoned. The affinity of the neural tissues for lead and calcium in the absence of
an intact barrier will be assess&i by measuring in vitro uptake and release of 21cPb
and ''SCa. This will be determined under control ccndtions; after inhibition of general,
oxidative and glycolytic r.etabolis-; after changes in nedium electrolyte composition
and after exposure to reagents that act as Hoards. An effort will be made to distin-
guish solute accumulation due to binding within neural tissue from that due to movenent
across the tissue using excised b-jllfrog choroid plexus and meninges which can be
irounted as "polar" membranes, allowing direct measurement of transepithelial flux. This
parameter will be studied in control and acutely poisoned frogs and contrasted with
the results of in vitro uptake ar.d release experirsrts in the san:e species. Tne be-
havior of 109Cd. a non-n£'jrotoxic r.atal, will also ":e observed in several of the
above experimental situations, so as to suggest patterns of uptake and distribution
that are not correlated with neurotoxicity. These studies wiH (a) establish how the
disordered' flow of lead across neural barriers that -.,3 have noted in lead encephalo-
pathy contributes to its pathocer.ssis; (b) allow develop-ent of predictive tests for
neural toxicity of potential toxins and pollutants by testing their effects on
barrier function.

Function of Hetallothionein in Heavy Metal Metabolism
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY '.VGfU
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
The low molecular weight, cysteine rich protein, ffetallothionein will be studied
under a variety cf conditions in order to elucidate its function in heavy metal metab-
olism. Its involvement in the mechanisms of incorporation, metabolism, deposition
and turnover of hazardous toxic metals, which are becoming increasingly prevalent in
the environment as byproducts associated with various ensrgy related technologies,
will be elucidated. Specifically, the focus of these studies will be on the mechan-
isms of action and sites of localization and transfer of heavy metals in perfused rat
lungs, and possibly livers and kidneys, (both in vivo and ex vivo} and in rats (bofh"
adults and neonates). The heavy metals of interest in this study are zinc, cooper.
cadmium, mercury, nickel. and thallium. Initially, these will be studied"
as a preliminary to more important experiments which will involve the study of inter-
actions of two or more of these metals, e.g., a situation which is more likely to
occur under environmental conditions. The goal of these studies is to establish
whether metallothionein is functioning in detoxification of toxic heavy metals or
has another role in the normal metabolism of essential heavy metals, the presence
of toxic heavy metals serving to interfere with these normal processes.

60 hertz electric fields arising from electric power transmission- lines are ubiquitiousl f
present in the environment. The strength of-such fields varies directly with the operation
voltage of the transmission line and inversely with distance from the line. Biological
effects attributable to low "frequency electric field exposure have recently been described
notwithstanding earlier work minimizing the biological significance of such fields. Pre-
liminary results obtained in our laboratory show that a 60 hertz electric field of 150 volts/
em is a biological stressor. That is, field exposure alters normal growth in rats & mice
'and produces changes in the levels of serum hydroxy-corticosterone and serum proteins.
This project involves the systematic study of these phenomena in greater detail.
Presently, the human health hazard associated with exposure to 60 hertz electric
fields is known. There have been no systematic studies of such effects and consequently
there are no federal or state standards for permissible non-occuoattonally related
exposure. Continuing our initial work, we propose the following experiments to evaluate
the biological effects of 60 hertz_electric fields at 150 volts/em:
1. The effect in rats on serum hydroxycorticosterone, triglycerides, total proteins & the
effect on growth, tissue structure and food and water consumption.
2. The effect on reproduction in mice.
3. The effect in rabbits of acute & chronic exposure.
The experiments will be repeated as a function of field strength & frequency.

(NOT TO EXCEED 101 IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
We propose to examine the jdint toxic action of sulfur dioxide and ozone. Concen-
trations used will be in the range of 0.2 - 0.8 ppm of each gas. They will be
combined in equal concentration as well as in varying ratios. The criteria of
irritant response will be alterations in the respiratory mechanics of guinea pigs.
The response to the combination will be compared to previously observed changes
produced by sulfuric acid. We also plan to study the uptake of sulfur dioxide by
wetted wall tubes with and without, the addition of aerosols. We plan to study the
solubility and reactivity of sulfur dioxide in solutions of various salts which
have been shown to potentiate the biological response.

It is often possible to model the body burden of pollutants as a mixed exponent
moving average of the external pollutant dosage. This model fails: (a) when the pollu-
tant occupies a significant fraction of a system e.g. carbon monoxide, (b) when an
appreciable fraction of pollutant is retained in long-lived components e.g. bone-seekers
such as lead. A semi-Markov model for physiological kinetics generalizes this model.
By representing body burden as a stochastic integral of external dosage, it is often
possible to estimate the frequency, duration, and parameters of other integral exceedance.
measures for body burden, thus to estimate the effects of environmental quality standards
on body burden variation. Physiological kinetic models for carbon monoxide, for the
lead-calcium system, and for cadmium-zinc, will be estimated using non-linear
regression techniques for experiments (as reported in the literature) on uptake and
elimination in constant evironments. Stochastic models will be developed for external
dosage of CO and lead, and the parameters of the exceedance measures of body birden
estimated. In this way it may prove possible to establish a better rationale for environ-
mental standards setting.

The response to inhalation of ambient aerosol particles from indoor and selected outdoor
environments will be investigated using high sensitivity elemental analysis by proton in-
duced X-ray emission, PDCE. The response may include both deposition of particles in the
respiratory trace and growth in particle size due to exposure to high relative humidity during
breathing. Both responses may depend on particle size and on chemical composition of the
particles and may be different for different component particles in a mixed aerosol. The
different components may be distinguished by their different elemental composition, and
the respiratory response of each may be determined in a single experiment.
Samples will be taken by 5 stage cascade impactor with fine particle filter and will
provide resolution of particles < 0. 25 to >4 mm equivalent aerodynamic diameter. Each
size range is analyzed for its elemental constituents by PTXE, including S, CI, K, Ca, Ti,
V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Pb, Zr, Cd, and additional heavy metals if present in the
aerosol. The nanogram sensitivity of the PKE technique permits fine particle size resolution
at a sampling rate of 1 liter/minute a^d requires of human subjects only 10 minutes or less of
breathing time per sample. Experiments are carried out using ambient aerosol from different
actual environments and do not require the use of special tracer materials. A major objective
of the research will be to standardize experimental conditions and develop a compact &
portable sampling unit which can be used in more specialized medical tests of inhalation
response to pollution aerosol particles.

The objective of this research program is to develop & refine realistic predictive models
for particle deposition efficiencies & patterns in the human tracheobronchial tree. The
models will cover respirable particles of all sizes, a wide range of constant & cyclic
respiratory flows, and be applicable to population subgroups as well as averages. They
will be based upon available data from studies on humans in-vivo, and available data &
new data on the distribution of deposition in hollow bronchial casts. The new studies will
be performed using -/-tagged monodisperse aerosols, twelve new bronchial casts which ex-
tend to 2 mm airways, new replicate large airway casts, new multiple lobule casts of
airways< 2 mm, and appropriate colllmated scintillation detectors. A variable orifice larynx
model will be constructed for the deposition studies with cyclic flows. High resolution
surface density measurements will be made by counting the numbers of particles on
bifurcations and other selected cast surfaces with a scanning electron microscope. These
measurements will establish concentration factors and identify locations for the cells
with the highest exposures to inhaled particles, thereby providing a basis for the depositior
components of an airway surface dosimetry model related to human bronchial cancer risk.

cule interactions of biological significance.
(3) Current Plans: The initial plans are to develop a multi-nuclei NMR capability and deter-
mine the advantages and disadvantages of various nuclei as mechanistic probes The early
work will use various purified biopolymers and their monomers -as models and would proceed
to various intracellular organelles isolated from biological systems.

Lead toxicitv and energy metabolism in iircnaturp drain

(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
Lead is a ubiquitous toxic pollutant. The most serious manifestation of pediatn'c Iped
poisoning is an acute encephalopathy. In addition, the rising burden of environmental lend
may be producing significant brain damage, without overt encephalopathy, in yotmg children,
In the unborn fetus, and the neonate. Pathologic studies suggest that lead produces edema
and capillary changes at a "critical" time in the immature brain of the human and in a rat
model of lead encephalopathy. This "critical" period in the rat contains many age-dependent
Changes in energy metabolism including activities of the electron transport chain (ETC) as
described by this investigator and others. Lead does act on the ETC in other tissues. How-
ever, there are no studies in immature brain of lead effects on the ETC, a probable basic
step in the pathogenesis of lead encephalopathy.
Preliminary results are presented on effects of lead on oxidative phosphorylation in im-
mature rat brain mitochondria. Within 2 days of feeding lead to 2 week old animals, respira
tion with NAD-linked substrates is uncoupled, reflecting an increased state 4 rate. During
the subsequent 2 week pre-encephalitic period of lead f'erJings, both state 3 and 4 rates be-
come increasingly depressed. Cytochrome oxidase activity -.hows the same changes. These ef-
fects are more significant in cerebellar than in cerebral U^niisphere mitochondria. Impor-
tantly, these effects of lead occur earlier than previously reported changes in brain fluid,
electrolytes, and morphology.
Considering the preliminary results and observations outlined above, investigations are
proposed based on these hypotheses: a) the primary effect of lead in developing F/rain is en
energy metabolism; specifically on sites in the ETC; and b) this1 effect is basic to the tox-
ic effects of lead. Experiments are designed to delineate the sites and mechanisms of actioi
of lead to learn more of the properties of the ETC in Immature brain and of the p^thogenesis
of lead encephalopathy. Younger animals will be studied to delineate'potential effects of
lead on the brain of the human fetus and neonate.

We • intend to deteraine the extent to which PHA. of chroaosones binds aljtyl and
aryl mercury in living cells. Also, we wish to obtain information on the molecular
level concerning the nature of the complexes. Hie method to he used ia a
spectroscopic one, optical detection of magnetic resonance, Oder, by means of
which magnetic resonance transitions in photoexcited triplet states are detected
optically. A heavy aton effect caused by mercury binding to an aromatic chromophore such
as a heterocyclic base of DMA makes the resulting triplet state a highly radiative trap
which is especially sensitive to odrar. The odmr method thus selects the mercury-
perturbed chromophore which then can be identified by the magnetic resonance frequencies s
and other properties of the phosphorescent state. Selectivity by the heavy atoa
effect is especially good in DM which normally is not highly luminescent. As a major
system for study, we intend to use Alllun cepa for which cytologifcal data of chromo-
socal aberrations of root cells caused by mercurial treatment exists.

sollutants for the nervous system and the resultant changes in behavior patterns. A major
tart of this project will be to look at a spectrum of behavioral and neurotoxicity tests for
heir reliability and validity in detecting low level, chronic effects of known and unknown
leurotoxins. Special attention will be paid to heavy metals and interactions of these with
lydrocarbons, especially in the developing animal where the behavioral and neurologic
latterns are being laid down and thus represent systems likely to be most susceptible to
ffects.

Refinements in Chemical mutagen exposure techniques were made to establish 1, 3-
dibromoethanol (DBE) as the mutagen standard in the.se studies rather than ethylmethane
sulfenate (EMS) and this work, has continued using tritium labeled DBL. Plant breeding
and new clone selection has also been continued to obtain more sensitive clones which
might provide better indicators of weak mutagens and chronic levels of exposure. New
clones with a wider-range of spontaneous mutation rates at each of three loci are being
used along with existing mutable clones to develop methods for studying repair.
Additional exposures of longer duration have been made with DBE; doae response
curves from exposures of concentrations of 2 to 100 ppm for 2 to 144 hours exposure show
that straight line relationships on a log-log plot with slopes of about 2. Furthermore, the
concept of time X concentration plotted against mutation frequency also shows a straight
line relationship on a log-log plot for all exposures, from 2 hours to 144 hours.

The sturfy of specific enzyme mutations using electrophoresis has the
capability of detecting mutations that result in either a non-functional
protein or a functional protein with altered electrical charge. Our
objective is to develop a single mammalian test system that will detect
both electrophoretic mobility (EPM) and inactive enzyme (IAE) mutations
in the same loci. Two inbred mouse strains which differ with respect to
nine enzyme loci have been selected for this system. Adult males of each
strain to produce F3 hybrid offspring. Tissue samples are obtained
surgically and electrophoresis is conducted on crude homogenates. While
sampling is not yet completed, preliminary data indicates that the system
is at least as sensitive in detecting IAE mutations as is the morphologies
specific locus system. Several mutants have been obtained and currently
studies are underway to determine the biochemical nature of the induced
mutation?.

In Ihe Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summitries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies »up-
ing research and are forwarded to investigator* who request such Information. Your summary i*- to be used for these purposes.
There is an urgent need for devising & standardizing procedures for
nonitortne the effects of environmental mutagens on the genetic systems of
higher animals. For practical purposes, these procedures should be rela-
tively inexpensive, not laborious, easily quantitated, and the test objects
should be related to the genetic system of man and other mammals. Chromo-
somes of cells in culture fulfill all these criteria and should be one of
the most suitable testing materials. Since most mutagens induce chromosome
damage (hence they are also clastoeens). chromosome damage should serve as
a conservative indicator of gene Damage. However, investigators in the
past used various test objects (many were poor materials) and test systems
[many haphazardly designed) so their data are incomplete and are not strict
ly comparable. This project is designed to systematically test several
cytologically advantageous materials and to determine the most efficient.
economical and information-yielding protocol for future screening of enviror
nental mutagens. Our test materials include, in addition to diploid human
Cibroblasts, cells of the Chinese hamster (for its fast growth rate and goo'
chromosomes), the Indian muntjac (for its very low diploid number, 2n-6),
two species of the deer mice (differing drastically in the amount of consti-
tutive heterochromatin and repetitive DNA content), the laboratory mouse,
md several other species. Test compounds will include well-known clastogerjs,
probable clastogens and untested chemicals. The drug experiments will con-

(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
It is intended to work on the development of statistical and
probabilistic subdisciplines particularly important in the studies
of biology and health problems. Whenever possible, such studies
will be conducted in conjunction witli substantive biological
studies. To facilitate the establishment of the relevant contacts,
seminar meetings with substantive speakers will be used, once a
week during the academic year and more frequently during summer.
Many problems contemplated for the immediate future are suggested
by the current energy crisis. The broad, say, ultimate statistical
problem connected with this crisis can be stated as follows:
given that in a locality a new energy producing plant is to be
constructed, with a specified additional environmental pollution,
to estimate the consequent changes in the selected parameters of
public health. It is proposed to study a number of subproblems of
this "ultimate" problem. These include: (i) the use of Markov
chains to study "competing risks", (ii) methodology of treating
factorial experiments,( i i i) co"nstruction of stochastic noclels
o?biological phenomena like carcinogencsis and jautagcncsis.Some
relevant mathematical problems will also be studied.

Conpartmental Models For Body Burden Of Pollutants
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PHOPOSfcD RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THS KEY WOBSW
(NOTTO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
It Is often possible to model the body burden of pollutants as a mixed exponential
moving average of the external pollutant dosage. This model fails: (a) when the pollu-
tant occupies a significant fraction of a system e.g. carbon monoxide. (b) when an
appreciable fraction of pollutant is retained in long-lived components e.g. bone-seekers
such as lead. A sami-Markov model for physiological kinetics generalizes this model.
By representin'g body burden as a stochastic integral of external dosage, it is often
possible to estimate the frequency, duration, and parameters of other integral
exceodance measures for body burden, thus to estimate the effects of environmental
quality standards on body burden variation. Physiological kinetic models for carbcn
monoxide, for the lead-calcium system, and for cadmium-zinc, will be estimated using
non-linear regression techniques for experiments (as reported in the literature) on
uptake and elimination in constant evironments. Stochastic models will be developed
for external dosage of CO and lead, and the parameters of the exceedance measures of
body burden estimated. In this way it may prove possible to establish a better
rationale for environmental standards setting.

A research study has been designed to: 1) detect directly, by means of
spin label measurements, membrane .lesions produced from in vivo exposure of
alveolar macroohaees to pollutant atmospheres - both oxidant and reducing; 2
obtain experimental evidence that these lesions are, or are not, associated
with activity of membrane-bound enzymes and with phagocytic and respiratory
capacity of the alveolar macrophage; 3) relate dose-dependence of observed
induced membrane lesions with response of intracellular systems—specificall
lysosomal enzymes, a cytoplasmic enzyme, cAMP, and RNA/DNA synthesis{4)
assess the effects of the same in vivo exposures upon selected lung systems
which will either exert a pharmacological effect upon the macrophage membrane
(such as cAMP), or provide an altered substrate for phagocytosis by the
alveolar macrophage (i.e., the lung surfactant); and 5) evaluate the effects
of the metabolic and functional prate of the alveolar macrophage itself
(i.e., actively phagocytic or resting) upon production of lesions, impair-
nent of function, and particularly upon surrounding lung tissue.

Epideniolcgical as well as experimental evidence suggests that the development of
lung cancer is a result of complex interaction of a number of exo-and endogenous
factors, besides the carcinogenic insult, environmental factors modifying the
target orcans, tha host factors such as genetic susceptibility, aging, nutrition
and other host factors may be of paramount importance.
V'tariin A Is known to bs essential on epithelial cellular differentiation and a
deficiency of it causes squamous metaplasia, nitrogen dioxide not only produces
basal .cell hyperplasia in the respiratory tract but also prorates infection and
the tunoricenesis of chemical carcinogens. The presence of this component not
only as an air pollutant but also in cigarette scoke emphasizes Its importance.
The objective of this proposal is to Investigate the influence of Vitamin A on
the cell cycle kinetics of the hamster respiratory tract resulting from exposure
to lOppn of H02 for 5 hours. The role of Vitamin A in the respiratory tract will
be studied fay both light and electron autoradioeraphy with particular emphasis on
epithelial cell differentiation and me.tap]asic changes.

WOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUFl ABSTRACT.
The heavy metal caAaiim. a known environmental_pollujt:|iit. has been implicated ac
* causative agent in the development of lung pathology. It has been suggested that one
of the sites of cadmium toxicity is the oxidative metabolism of the pulmonary alveolar
nacrophage. At present, there is little known about the interaction of cadmium with
the alveolar macrophage under physiological conditions. It is the purpose of the .pro-
posed research, therefore, to study the jTajisjiSSXj, intraeellular cjistrihi^.rpTi, and.
accumulation of cadmium by the pulmonary Alveolar macTOplmge and to relate the amount
of cadmium accumulated within the cells to alterations in physio logical function. Tran
port by macrophage monolayers will be quantitated by the use of Ifl9cadmium. The intra
cellular distribution of cadmium will be determined by measuring the radioactivity _.
present in the sub-cellular fractions (i.e., soluble cytoplasmic fraction, mitochovidri
microsomes, and membranes) obtained after cell homogenation end differential centrifug
tion. Atteiitpts to identify a specific cadmium-binding protein will be made by using
column chromatographic techniques. Direct measurements of the cadmium content of macr
phages will bs made with the use of an atomic absorption spsctrophotometer equipped wi
a micro-atomizer. Experiments will then bs conducted to determine how the rate of.
cadmium transport is affected by pH, divalent ions, thiol-containing agents, protein.Cs
and alveolar lining material, and to determine whether cadmium accumulation can occur
during the phagocytosis of bacteria and/or kaolin. Hacrophages that have accumulated
known amounts of cadmium under different environmental conditions will also bs'monitor
i?or phagocytic activity, release of lyjjosomal enzymes, endogenous respiration. and
ATPase activity. Comparative studies with macrophages from various animal sources az-e
planned. It is hoped that the results o£ the proposed study will contribute to our
understanding of the role cadmium plays in the development of lung pathology in roan.

TITLE OF PROJECT
Pulmonary Effects of Environmental Oxidant Pollutants
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY WORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
Rats and monkeys will be chronically exposed to oxidanl air pollutants, primarily
ozone, at concentrations approximating high ambient levels (0.2 - O.S ppra). A
mul^'disciplinary group will make integrated biochemical, microbiological, physiological
and.morphological evaluations of effects. The findings will have relevance to the
specific problem of air pollution and to a general understanding of pulmonary patho-
biology.
By plotting the relative levels of sensitivity of the various parameters studied and
the effects observed, a basis will be provided for making predictions of possible long-
term consequences of photochemical smog on man. Comparison of effects in rats and
monl;eys should provide for more confident extrapolation to man and hence enable the
setting of rational air quality criteria.
A primary goal is to test critical hypotheses concerning biochemical, immunological
and cellular mechanisms responsible for the deleterious effects of the pollutants.
Major pathogenetic and modifying factors of interest are: the role of lipid peroxidation
in initiating damage; the induction of antioxidant defense mechanisms by continued ex-
posure and the general phenomenon of adaptation; the sites of impairment in pulmonary
alveolar macropiiages and components of the immune system in the lung; the sequence and
nature of lesions resulting in the development of chronic obstructive lung disease
(bronchitis/emphysema) and interstitial fibrosis.
An additional goal is to explore further the potential prophylactic value for
human populations of dietary antioxidants such as vitamin E.

This project is a study of 444 men who have worked in pilot oil ahale operations. The
cohort will be divided into three smaller cohorts consisting of (1.) 294 men from the
U.S. Bureau of Mines and (2) 135 men of the Joint Venture of the Colorado School of
Mines Research Institute and COLONY in Anvil Points,Colorado, and also (3) 15 men from
the Union Oil Retort facility in Grand Valley, Colorado. A retrospective mortality
study of approximately 60 men will be done in house while a cross-sectional morbidity
examination to evaluate several morbidity aspects that may be associated with oil shale
occupations will be done by contract^. | Mortality due to 21 specific causes of death
will be determined after an extensive %d|||jp-up effort and the obtaining of death cer-
tificates of those determined to be deceased. Observed deaths will be compared to
those expected to uncover excess deaths .duejstq.,a particular cause. Numerous indices of
health will be assessed through the physii
administered to the living members of the
inatlons and health questionnaires
Further activities tentatively include environmental exposure and medical assessments
of workers entering the industry.
The Industrial Hygiene aspects of this study will be a Joint U.S. and USSR research
project on the health effects associated with the oil shale industry. William Wagner
will make an initial trip to the USSR to develop joint US-USSR survey protocol. A Rus-
sian delegation headed by Dr. Gogovsky will then visit the U.S. for approx. 3 weeks in
May 1977. The Environmental Investigations Branch will be responsible for the planning
of this trip. Contact will be made with those people knowledgeable in oil shale tech-
nology, -and those who are or have been involved in health studies related to oil shale
mining and retorting. Three industrial hygienists from the EIB are tentatively schedu-
led to travel to the Soviet Union in September to perform walk through surveys of USSR

guidelines and recommendations will be developed for demonstration and commercial
scale coal gasification plants.
Pilot plant guidelines will be based on available world-wide literature, and
data that have been generated by federal agencies(EPA, ERDA). Guidelines for larger
scale plants will be based on field data collected by NIOSH and extrapolations/
predictions from the data used in developing the pilot plant guidelines.
If implemented, these guidelines will provide some measure of worker
protection from hazardous exposure.! until such time when formal standards may be
developed.
Anticipated publication date of pilot plant guidelines is Second Quarter,

This project is a contract to perform an indepth industrial hygiene characterization
of worker environments in three coal gasification pilot facilities. The three pilot
plants will be studied at the rate of one plant per year for 3 consecutive years. Each
plant project will be divided into three tasks. Task I includes a literature search,
pilot plant walk-through, grab sampling, laboratory analysis, documentation and descrip-
tion of work places and a report of study proposal to the project officer. Task II in-
cludes qualitative area, personal, and bulk sampling, laboratory analysis, documentatior
of results and preparation of a sampling protocol for Task III. Task III includes
quantitative detailed industrial hygiene monitoring, sample analysis and determination
of eight hour daily time weighted average and peak concentrations of potentially hazard-
ous substances.
A final report for each pilot plant will be submitted by the contractor and will in-
clude; (a) past & present worker exposure (by job) constructed on the information that
is collected on the changes in processing, ventilation, environmental control, work
practices; Cb) industrial hygiene practices at the facilities; (c) time weighted and
peak concentration found in the work place for each job type; (d) recommendations for
control of worker exposures; (e) identification of worker design parometers for worker
protection controls to be integrated in demonstration and commercial plant designs;
(f) identification of additional problem areas in the coal conversion industry requir-

An RFC will be developed for the industrial hygiene study of coal liquifaction processei
Poorly contained coal liquifaction processes produce emissions which evidence indicates
may constitute a carcinogenic risk, especially for lung and skin cancer. This study
will address liquifaction products, process and material containment methods, worker
exposures, health hazard control equipment, and the toxicologic properties of process
materials. Identification of liquifaction process health hazards in the developmental
phase of the technology will provide necessary information for health protection design
considerations. In order to prevent long term effects in both workers and the general
population, Industrial hygiene findings and recommendations will be incorporated into
present coal liquifaction technology development.
The RFC will require an industrial hygiene program that includes a complete literature
search, a preliminary survey, a qualitative survey and a quantitative survey. The
overall objective will be an in-depth industrial hygiene characterization ofxworker
environments in coal liquifaction plants.

TITLE OF PFimitiN The
National Air Quality Advisory Committee has suggested that particulates be studied
not as total suspended particulate but according to particle size distribution.
The findings of the CHESS study strongly suggest that occupational exposures to sulfatei
need further study in terms of exposure levels and mortality experience.
This project will continue to determine exposures to a variety of soluable and in-
soluble sulfates in a number of industries. These data will be used to choose popu-
lations for mortality studies beginning in FY'77. The study will also be devoted'to
supporting field testing of the sampling and analytical methods.

Sulfur oxides (SO ) and sulfuric acid mist (H.SO^) are upper and total respiratory
irritants. Over ?00,000 workers are potentially exposed. Nitrogen oxides (NO ) and
nitric acid (HNO-) are primarily lower respiratory tract irritants. Over 1-1/2 millio
workers are potentially exposed. The toxic effect of these compounds derives pri-
marily from the fact that they are strong acids, or from corrosive acids on contact
with moist mucus membranes. Many documented cases of acute over-exposure indicate
their irritating and toxic properties. Effects of low-level chronic exposure are
not known, and there is little information on dose-response relations. Both N02 and
SO.are common air pollutants. Acute effects of exposure will be etermined in workers
exposed to relatively pure mixture of sulfur.and nitrogen compounds. Pulmonary func-
tion tests will be administered before and after work, while simultaneously measuring
environmental exposure to the individual chemical species. Chest x-rays will be
taken, and the prevalence of acute and chronic respiratory symptoms, body burden
(methemoglobin, urine, and salivary pH) and dental erosion will be determined. An
estimate of total cumulative exposure from work histories will be used to determine
chronic effects.

In the Smithsonian Science Informal Ion Exchange, luminaries of work In progress are exchanged with government and private agendas sup*
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Yoor summary is to be used for these purposes.
The energy shortage will result in an accelerated expansion in the energy produc-
ing industries which makes these critical installations even more vulnerable to
mishaps. Accidents and catastrophic incidents not only affect workers at these
workplaces but the entire surrounding population who would be exposed to pollut-
ants, toxic fumes, explosions and fires. The loss of resources and energy pro-
duction have a critical economic impact on the nation. As a consequence, the
project will therefore prove to be of serendipitous benefit to other federal
governmental agencies such as EPA, ERDA and DOT and cooperation and coordination
with these agencies will be maintained. Since regulations of nuclear plants are
not under the specific authority of ERDA, these facilities are not included within
the scope of this project. Energy industries employing workers covered under the
Occupational Safety and Health Act and utilizing fossil fuels and petroleum (liquid
and gaseous hydrocarbons) will be assessed as to safety problems, particularly
fire and explosions, which would indicate vulnerability in life safety of the
immediate population. Accidents involving two or more injuries or one fatality
will be tabulated, explored and studied in case histories from on-site investi-
gations. The final report will contain recommendations for future actions that can
be implemented within a reasonable expenditure of funds.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary Is to be used for these purposes.
Pulmonary disease problems, particularly pneumoconioses and airway obstructive diseases
could arise from exposure to pollutant gas emissions such as S02 and NO,, from coal
burned as fuel for steam-powered electricity generating plants. Pneumoconioses could
develop from years of exposures to coal dusts in coal-loading areas or to asbestos
fibers in linings of steam pipes.
The primary purpose of this- study is to measure specified effects (decreased longevity,
"premature" deaths from pulmonary diseases, and early retirement due to disability
attributed to such diseases) on high risk workers in coal-fired steam electricity
generating plants who have had exposures to these pollutants that varied in duration
and intensity.
In the process of collecting information on early disability and on mortality of em-
ployees exposed to these air pollutants, data will also be obtained on neoplasms of
the respiratory system and on diseases of the heart. This evidence can be analyzed
in relation to some hypotheses about carcinogenic effects of pollutants and effects
on the heart or lung impairments.
The TVA and the Environmental Investigations Branch will jointly conduct preliminary
Industrial Hygiene surveys to select approx. 10 potentially hazardous occupations in
TVA coal-fired plants. TVA will then conduct detailed cross-sectioned Industrial
Hygiene Studies of workers invloved in these "potentially hazardous" occupations. TVA
shall also review existing industrial hygiene data on past exposures in the potentially
hazardous occupations along with information on control methods in order to retrospec-
tively estimate cumulative working lifetime exposures in the identified hazardous oc-
cupations, (continued on reverse side)

The purpose of the study is to establish a base line of the incidence, distribution
and control of diving related illnesses in the commercial diving industry. Physio-
logical hazards are not limited to symptoms of inadequate decompression such as bends.
Equally serious in the long run are problems relating to pulmonary and vestibular
function, brain damage, hearing loss, and dysbaric osteonecrosis.
Because of the complexity of the problems, plus the fact that we are continually
operating at the edges of medical and technical knowledge, long term studies are
required, especially in hyperbaric medicine, which are not likely to be done by the
individual diving companies.
During the first quarter a review of the literature and past NIOSH contracts will be
done. A protocol and study plan will be worked out and then submitted for contract
bid.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (I) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plan, and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary Is to be used for these purposes.
Since the advent of the energy crisis, recirculation of industrial process exhaust
air has been receiving widespread attention as an energy conservation method. Re-
circulation of process exhaust air to the workplace rather than to the outside will
reduce the amount of heating or cooling of make up air with a significant reduction
in energy usage. Recirculation of exhaust air has, in the past, been used infre-
quently and has essentially been limited to processes which generate nontoxic
nuisance type dusts. The major limiting factor in the widespread use of recircula-
tion for toxic materials is the lack of criteria relating to both system performance
and work protection. Without such criteria, the use of recirculation systems could
result in serious worker exposure to toxic substances.
This project will be a follow-on to a study initiated in FY 74 to develop criteria
for the recirculation of exhaust air. The results of that initial contract effort
will be evaluated and a symposium then held on recirculation of exhaust air. After
this, a one-year contract will be awarded to develop the exhaust system performance
and reliability criteria required to permit safe recirculation of exhaust air from
processes which generate toxic gases, vapors, fumes and particulates. Studies will
also be made to determine the effect of process variables such as temperature and
contaminant generation rate on system effectiveness. Another follow-on contract
will be awarded to investigate the air cleaning devices necessary to permit recircu-
lation of exhaust air.

porting research and are forwarded 10 investigators who request such information. Your summary la to be used for theae pwpoaea.
A recently completed study of fibrous glass workers at a plant in Ohio failed to
demonstrate any increased mortality due to malignant respiratory disease. However,
increased mortality was noted due to non-malignant respiratory disease in the same
study population. The failure to observe an excess of malignant respiratory disease
in this population possibly may have been due to the fact that the major portion of
the study group was generally exposed to fibers of larger diameter, which generally
have not been shown to be carcinogenic in man or animals.
This study proposes a retrospective mortality study on a sub»-cohort of the entire
working population who were subjectively determined through a double-blind study to
be exposed to fibers with diameters from 1 micron to 3 microns in diameter, a range
suspected of having carcinogenic potential to man. It must be cautioned, however,
that this study will not answer the question of carcinogenesis with respect to the
fine fiber (less than 1 micron in diameter).

In view of the vast quantity of health data demonstrating the carcinogenicity of
asbestos fibers, insulation and other Industries have begun searching for substitute
materials to replace asbestos. However, the fibers constituting these substitute
materials may be similar in shape and size to that of asbestos. It is felt by many
researchers that the morphology of the fibers is the most important factor in the
development of malignant and non-malignant respiratory disease.
Therefore, since little is known of the health effects to man of resplrable fibers
other than asbestos, it is incumbent upon the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health CNIOSH) to investigate epidemiologically the human health conse-
quences of respirable fiber exposures and other insulation materials.
This study will be approached through environmental surveys and mortality studies
designed to quantify the risk of exposure to mineral wool used as well as determine
the presence of other substances that may promote the development of adverse health
effects or act in a synergistic manner.

In the process of studying the chronic health hazards from occupational exposure to
respirable fibers such as asbestos, fiberglas, and mineral wool, the xstd National In-
stitute for Occupational Safety and Health has identified additional flberous minerals
which SXEXX are of occupational health concern. Attapulgite, one constituent of a grouj
of substances collectively known as "Fuller's Earth", is one such mineral fiber which
has been discussed with chronic lung disease.
A mortality study of a population with an occupational exposure to Attapulgite of
approximately thirty C30) years since onset of exposure is being conducted. This will
permit investigation of long term chronic health effects of exposures to small diameter
short mineral fibers by a study population with sufficient latency.

The two objectives of this program are: (1) to develop procedures which can be
used to forecast and assess the impacts of stressants from energy producing activities
on affected ecosystems; and (2) to identify and describe the impacts for a given set
of ecosystems.
The approach is to combine field measurements with on-site field experimentation and
laboratory process studies. Remote sensing, modelling activities, and other
associated supportive efforts_will be utilized to maximize the activity.
The Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory has mounted a field effort in
Montana. Besides the normal field facilities (mobile air quality laboratories,
biological analysis systems, etc.) an effort has been made to coordinate the project
with other scientific centers (Grassland IBP, ERDA, EPA and NOAA) to include the
necessary scientific and engineering expertise to guarantee a unified program. It is
intended that the research information gathered from this project be utilized in such
a fashion that a set of biological parameters are found that will allow planning
managers to project cost/benefit relationships prior to locating an energy producing
facility.

(1) Objectives:
a) to develop a facility and methodology for the experimental analysis of
coastal marine ecosystems and their response to energy-related environ-
mental stresses
b) to relate the experimental results to ecosystem theory and its
implications for the management of coastal marine environments.
(2) Approach:
Replicate meso-scale experimental ecosystems simulating a variety of common-
coastal marine environments will be developed and maintained at a special
shore-based laboratory. A number of stresses or environmental perturbation
associated with energy development will then be applied over a range of
intensities to these systems before, during and after the application
of stress. Similar field experiments may also be carried out on a small
scale in some environments.
(3) Current Plans:
The first project will involve 9 shore-based experimental water columns
(5 m deep x 2 m dia.) with associated bottom sediments and benthos. The
microcosms will first be studied for repllcability and for differences
between tanks that are run as open or closed systems with respect to
seawater flow. After this preliminary work is completed, a series of
experiments involving the addition of water soluble petroleum hydro-
carbons at concentrations of 100 and 1000 ug/1 will begin.

A surveillance of four collectives of pollutants in U.S. coastal waters is being
carried out through their concentrations in two sentinel organisms—mussels and
barnacles. The pollutant species include heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury,
selenium, zinc, silver and copper), chlorinated hydrocarbons {DDT residues,
polychlorinated biphenyls, hexachlorbenzene, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, benzene
hexachloride, cis and trans chlordane and the insecticidal derivatives oxychlordane
and heptachlor epoxide), artificial radionuclides (plutonium-238, plutonium-239+240,
americiem-241 and cesium-137), and petroleum hydrocarbons (to include measures of
the concentrations of alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatlcs, including 2, 3, 4 and
5 ring polynuclear condensed species).
The program includes sites off the east, west and Gulf coasts of the U.S. as well
as off Alaska, Guam and Samoa. Over two hundred and fifty samples will be taken
during the first two years of the project and analyzed in 8 laboratories, two for
each set of pollutants. Interlaboratory comparisons are being made on the pollutant
analyses.
The goals of the program will be the assessment of the U.S. coastal waters for the
support of marine resources such as food from the sea, the Vitality of communities
of marine organisms and the continued use of non-living resources such as beaches
and harbors and the prediction of future exposure levels of pollutants based upon
the best existing information and models.

The principal objectives are: to determine the concentration of selected
environmental carcinogens in economically-important molluscs and crustaceans from
Oregon bays, estuaries and inshore areas; to determine if there is a potential public
health hazard from consuming shellfish which contain carcinogenic petroleum by-products;
to survey populations of bivalve molluscs, determine the incidence of neoplastic
diseases in these populations and ascertain if there is any correlation between
carcinogenic body burdens and incidences of such diseases; to determine if metabolic
pathways exist in bivalves which lead to detoxification or modification of benzo(a)-
pyrene; to determine tne acuce and ciu.uuic etr«:i-L= ol c^oiin^, ^cllusccr. ;r.d
crustacean gametes and larvae to selected chemical carcinogens, and evaluate the
ecological consequences of such effects.
Seven economically-important shellfish will be sampled monthly during a two or
three year period and the following studies will be conducted: quantitative and
qualitative determinations of chemical carcinogens present in shellfish; histopatho-
logical examination of bivalves for neoplasfic diseases; studies related to
benzo(t»)pyrene metabolism and rates of uptake, incorporation and elimination in
natural populations of shellfish. Following completion of this research, personnel
from appropriate state and federal agencies will evaluate the public health implications
of our findings.

porting research and «ri: forvvurdfd to investigators who request such information. Your suntmary is to be used for these purposes.
Amounts of chlorine preseirS£yrflS£d in the drainage basin of
Chesapeake Bay, and probably also some other large estuaries, could be
large enough to sterilize the Bay if this chlorine were not degraded.
A review of degradation proces.ses reveals that perhaps 1% of the total
chlorine may be converted to halogenated organic compounds, and it is
suggested that some of these may be long-lived and susceptible to
biomagnification. Arguments are given to indicate that organic
compounds produced by chlorination of estuarine and marine waters may
differ fundamentally from those produced by chlorination of river water
and sewage in that bromine derivatives may predominate over chlorine
derivatives in the marine waters.
A research project is proposed to test these ideas in the field
near a power plant which employs 4-15% estuarine water for cooling,
and chlorinates this to control fouling. The site is free of other
nearby anthropogenic sources. The objectives of the project will be:
1. Identify and quantify the halogenated organic compounds
produced by the plant.
2. Determine chemical factors controlling yields of the various
compounds by studying the cooling waters under a variety
of conditions.
The project will provide an evaluation of the magnitude of this
problem and may provide some indications of how the problem can be min-
imized by regulation of chlorinating procedures and cooling water quality

This research will examine a mechanism of cycling for various xenobiotics in
and through estuarine and marine sediments. A lugworm, Arenicola cristata
(Polychaeta: Arenicolidae), will be studied to define and quantify movement of
compounds through the sediment as a result of reworking and biological accumulation.
Experiments are designed to determine, (a) how lugworms move xenobiotics into
and through the substrate when the compounds are introduced into the overlying
water column; (b) how effectively lugworms move sorbed xenobiotics from
various depths in the sediment to the surface and (c) what volume of sediment
could be exposed to xenobiotics due to reworking by lugworms.

In the near future the San Juan River Basin will be subjected to considerable
pressures to develop its energy and non-energy resources. Such actions oould
have major impact on the biological, chemical and physical Integrity of the
San Juan River, Lake Powell and downstream environments.
A study of the San Juan River and the San Juan Arm of Lake Powell was initiated
to further define baseline environmental conditions In the states areas. Data
collection will emphasize phytoplankton, zooplankton, invertebrates, water chemistry,
soil caemlstry, sediment chemistry and physical parameters.
Major objectives are to assess the ecological Importance of the San Juan Arm
of Lake Powell, Its dependence on the San Juan River and its relationship to the
greater Lake Powell exosystem. Heavy metal contributions to the San Juan River
System are to be further delineated with determinations made on the possible
effects of heaby metal concentrations on the biological resource.
In addition, information collected as part of the study will provide input
to the design of an optimum environmental monitoring system for the San Juan
River Basin by EPA-EHSL.

Assessment of the chemical and biologiaal status of sediments in the Knife
River and its tributaries relative to ethrophying nutrients, pathogenic bacteria,
toxic chemicals and self purification potentials of surface waters.
A major objective of this study is to obtain baseline data for stream sediments,
determine sediment chemical quality and characterize sediment associated bacteria
for a representative segment of the Knife River drainage that could be significantly
impacted by future energy development.
A second major objective is to study data to enable assessment of sediment -
bacteriological interrelationship for an area already impacted by pollution
loadings from coal mine activities. Ideally a site within the interior drainage
area of an active mine where waste has accumulated. The second site would be an
area which has been impacted for years.
Criteria used for selection to establish baseline conditions should emphasize
areas where there 1s a high probability for energy"^development, an area within
the drainage development which has not been significantly disturoed by energy
development, and an area where surface water drainage patterns are significantly
defined so that future energy impact on surface" water can be assessed wich a
reasonable degree of accuracy once development occurs. The above described
second sampling site, an area already impacted by pollution loadings should
provide information on the long-term effects of sediment loadings of coal mina
activities on sediment related bacteria. Sampling of the baseline sites should be
more frequent than of the impacted environment sites.

A methodology is needed to predict the effects of changes in warm water stream
flows on plant and animal ecosystems. In order to develop this methodology a
research plan was established which provided for a literature search, a proposed
methodology, and field testing of the proposed methodology.
Field testing, modification and verification of the methodology o«curred
on the Tongue River, Montana and was conducted in two phases. The first phase
established tolerance limits and habitat preferences of biotlc communities
under naturally occurring stream conditions. Baseline biological data was
also collected.
Phase two Involved the application, evaluation and modification of the
methodology within the Tongue River drainage. This work characterized the effects
of flow variation on a range of habitat requirements for important aquatic species
during summer and winter conditions.

The Saskatchewan Power Corporation is peesently developing a coal-fired power generating
complex on the East Poplar River. Construction of a cooling reservoir (run-of-the-
river) was initiated in 1975. The project could significantly alter the flow regimen
of the Poplar and adversily impact water quality.
The Poplar River system contains a good sport fishery consisting of Walleye, Northern
Pike, Bass, and Goldeye. Fish population studies were initiated in 1975 to acquire
oaseline information. Seining and electrofishing were conducted to determine species
abundance and distribution (adult).
The objectives of this study are to gather quantitative data on the abundance and
distribution of young-of-the-year walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass at
selected sites in the Poplar drainage. In addition, all records of stream discharge,
water quality, and temperature will be secured and evaluated to determine possible
ir,pact on sport fish populations.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives. (2) Approach. (31 Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confidential data).
Objective:
The research will provide information on the effects of spills
of crude oil on shallow thaw ponds in arctic Alaska. Both immediate and
long-range effects will be measured.
Scientific Background For Study; Some information is available on the lethj
effects of oil on freshwater plants and animals. Practically nothing is
known of effects on a pond community where indirect effects, such as the re(-
noval of grazing pressure on plankton, will occur. Only a few tests have
:>een made of sub-lethal effects such as reduction of reproduction rate.
Nothing is known of oil effects on arctic ponds.
Proposed Procedure: A follow-up study will be made of an oil spill made in
1970 at Barrow, Alaska. Also, a new spill was made in 1975, and a series o)f
small subponds of various sizes have also been treated. The amount of oil
remaining in various fractions will be measured. The species composition,
bundance, and productivity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic animals,
and bacteria will be followed. Also, the effect of oil on the growth of
Sarex aouatilis. a rooted aquatic plant, will be measured as well as the
degradation rate of Carex litter with and without oil treatment
Best Objects and Agents: The objects will be natural thaw ponds near Barrow
Ma ska. Crude oil from Prudhoe Bay will be the agent tested.
Results to Date: The biota has almost completely recovered from the oil spilll
of 1970. The zooplankton are almost back to normal, but one group of benthic
animals, Tanvtarsus (Chironominae) are still absent. Zooplankton are the
nost sensitive organisms while the phvtoglan^ton ar^

The aia of this project Is to assess sediment lapact on arctic freshwater
ecosystems, using as a natnral labortaory Lakes Peters and Schroder In the
Brooks Range to determine the utility of aerial assessment of sedfaent
loads. These lakes exhibit a natural sedlaent load gradient since turbid
water enters lake Peters and flows through the system. Two field seasons
have now been completed, with a detailed asaesmant of gradient photography
currently underway. We also studied sons aspects of the lake chemistry and
productivity in order to dellnleate possible Impact of alterations in
sediment load regime on arctic lakes In general. Hlcrodensity techniques
are being used on the film, and ground truth data are being evaluated.
We also selected three additional lakes along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline
corridor for photography, and are currently evaluating these results
also. This project relates closely to a separate study OB the effects of
the pipeline road on freshwater environments, and the two studies Till
essentially merge in their objectives during the last field season.

The study is designed to determine the effects of road construction on lakes in
northern Alaska, and is carried oat along the new road associated with the
Trams-Alaska Pipeline. This road has altered drainage patterns and thus
caused the formation of new lakes, and has altered the sediment patterns.
The effects of road dost and other atmospheric partlcolatea as veil as nutrient
loading are being studied, all with respect to lattitudinal grsndient. Hew
bodies of water are being monitored with tlae to observe succession in water
chemistry and biota. The effects of nutrient Input are being studied
in situ and with bloassay approaches. We expect to carry out one more
field season on this work, having completed two to date. Additional work
on determining the mineral and nutrient additions by dustfall and icefog
will be carried out during the winter season, some of this information to
be gained by using snow cores in early spring to give an integrated record of
deposition. This information, along with suoner experimental work, should
help give an idea of the impact from such sources. New pond succession will
continue to be a major focus of the work, and this work will intensify. Finally,
the assesnent of natural variations with latitude will be needed to separate
normal gradients and the effects of the human activity.

The objectives are to develop new and improved information on the trace metal
content of coal, ash, fly ash, soil, vegetation, etc., as a basis for evaluating
the cycling mechanisms for trace metals and to develop means of reclaiming
abandoned ash basins. A study is in progress to determine the effect upon
the terrestrial environment of trace elements released from a coal fired
powerhouse from 1952 through 1975. Analyses of surrounding soil and vegetation
are not complete but from results to-date the effects appear to be small.
Stands of loblolly pine, sweetgum and sycamore trees have been successfully
established on an ash basin abandoned in 1964. Survival and growth of the
trees are better on the ashes than on soil, possibly due to a higher water

Trace contaminants from coal combustion include a number of toxic elements which
are known to be concentrated by aquatic biota. Since the majority of the electri-
cal power generated in states such as South Carolina is by coal combustion, large
inputs of trace contaminants will be expected as a consequence of rapid population
growth in the southeastern United States and projected increased dependence on
fossil fuels. This area of the country may experience more problems with coal ash
contaminants than other areas because of the generally higher availability of these
elements in soft acid waters. The objective of these studies is to 1) determine
if aerial and effluents from coal combustion increase levels of toxic elements in
aquatic systems adjacent to power production facilities and 2) determine pathways
and compartmentalization of trace contaminant flaxes in aquatic systems. Aerial
inputs into a softwater pond are being monitored. Elemental ratios are used to
determine if trace element inputs are from coal combustion or natural particulate
inputs. Cycling of metals to all components of this low ionic strength, highly
organic acid aquatic system has been determined. The hypothesis that aquatic
systems act as sinks for metals and that metals bound to organics are mobilized
from the drainage basin to the pond is being tested. Monitoring of aerial inputs
is also being used to determine if electrostatic precipitators is capable of
reducing trace metal inputs into this aquatic system. The second phase of this
set of investigations is the fate of trace contaminants associated with coal in
a swamp system. Areas receiving coal ash is being compared to central areas and
trophic transfers water - periphyton -' macroinvertebrates - fish are being
conducted.

The purpose of this research is to determine the ecological fate of trace elements
resulting from the combustion of coal in semi-arid environments of the western United
States. The mobilization of trace elements through stack emissions and coal ash dis-
posal are to be investigated. Current plans call for the analysis of ambient partieu-
late matter for trace element content as a function of particle size. Soils and veg-
etation are to be analyzed to ascertain the extent of trace element content due to
deposition on surfaces and uptake from soils and water. The use of lichens as bio-
indicators of trace element pollution is being investigated. The adaptation of
microbial populations to metals is being investigated.

The combustion of coal releases potentially toxic elements into the atmosphere.
These are ultimately deposited on vegetation or the ground and incorporated into
biogeochemical cycles. The purpose of this research is to determine natural
storages and pathways and rates of transfer of trace elements (e.g., Cd, Ni, Cu,
Co, Pb, Zn) in and between components of desert environments. Potential sites of
accumulation will be identified. Field work is being carried out in southern
Nevada—in the vicinity of Southern California Edison's Mohave Generating Station,
and at the Nevada Test Site. Experiments are conducted at the University of
California, Los Angeles. Amounts of trace elements in desert vegetation are being
analyzed by emission spectroscopy. Trace elements in soils and animals are being
measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Biological storages of elements are
estimated by combining chemical analyses of plant and animal tissues with biomass
estimates of desert populations. Greenhouse experiments with desert shrubs and
soils amended with coal fly ash are designed to measure rates of uptake of trace
elements, and how such elements are distributed in various plant tissues. Field
experiments are in progress to determine rates at which plant litter decomposes and
returns elements to the soil.

The objective of the proposed work is to define the aqueous chemistry
of heavy metals associated with fly ash disposal systems. It has been
demonstrated that many heavy and trace metals are concentrated on fly ash
during the coal combustion process. Normal disposal practice for this
naterial involves ponding or use directly as fill. Considering the amounts
which must be disposed of (1975 estimate, 30-35 million tons), a potential
contamination problem exists with local groundwaters.
Previous research conducted on this problem in the first year of stud]/
involved laboratory experiments in which the sorptive characteristics of the
species As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, and Zn associated with these systetrs
was investigated. The coming year's effort will continue with these labora
tory studies, however the main emphasis will be on field research on exist-
ing disposal sites. The procedures to be used will include monitoring
through a well survey and a heavy metal tracer study using either a radio-
ctive or inorganic source of the metals of interest. Laboratory data will
t>e coordinated through a mathematical groundwater quality model to predict
metal attenuation with distance from source. The model will be calibrated
with laboratory leaching columns and through comparison with field data.
RESULTS TO DATE; Suggest that release of metals from fly ash in aqueous
environments is dependent upon the presence, sorptive characteristics and
concentration of various metal "sinks" associated with the ash (e.g.Fe(CH)3
Mn02, etc). Subsequent readsorption onto local soil matter is strongly pH
dependent and is also a function of "sink" presence and concentration.

In Ihe Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work in progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
Structural responses of aquatic communities to pollutional stresses ha
listorically been the principal methods by which biological assessment of
mvironmental perturbations have been evaluated. While community structure
responses are often of value, they do not give the investigator sufficient
information to understand the impact of stresses on community dynamics, e.g
energetics and nutrient cycling.
The primary objective of this work is to examine a number of major
functional processes common to most aquatic communities in terms of develo
Lng and evaluating techniques for measurement of those processes in terms
Df their suitability for pollutional stress assessment. A secondary objec-
:ive of the work will be an attempt to relate data generated by examining
functional aspects of communities with standard community structure measure
nents.
The general areas to be examined in the project include the following:
L) evaluation of functional indices to assess pollution effects on autotrop
md heterotrophic communities; 2) relationship of protozoan invasion and ex
:inction rates to the eutrophication process; 3) responses of zooplankton
subjected to cooling water entrainment; and 4) responses of detrital proces
ing to pollutional stress. The research has been ongoing for approximately
nine months and significant progress has been made in all areas of study.

Objectives - The overall objective is to provide numeric information processing and
analysis support for the assessment and related regional studies being performed by
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate
the effects of surface mine-land reclamation activities on freshwater resources.
Approach - Specific needs and approaches will be developed through continued interaction
with investigators. Existing data will be acquired, edited, documented and stored in
the Numeric and Textual Information System (NUTIS) developed by the Environmental Sci-
ences Division. The Statistical Analysis System (SAS-76) will be used in conjunction
with NUTIS to provide data management and statistical analysis capabilities. Our effort
will be coordinated with Argonne National Laboratory to m4nimize duplication and
maximize compatability of data bases.
Current Plans/Progress - We are currently processing the USGS water quality/quantity
tapes and have obtained air quality tapes. We are developing computer files describing
toxic compounds potentially found in aquatic ecosystems. These files, derived from the
literature, contain numeric information in tabular form and cover by element and organ-
ism the concomnitant effects of environmental variables such as pH, hardness, alkalinity
temperature, DO, total dissolved solids and concentration of the compound. We have con-
current projects that are developing compatible county level environmental data bases
for use by the EPA studies. Computer capabilities are being expanded in the area of
graphical display.

This study was undertaken to determine the physiological, biochemical, and ultra-
structural effects of arsenic, cadmium, and copper on tissues of marine shellfis h in com-
parison with those previously observed in mammals. Large numbers of shellfish will be
exposed to these elements for subsequent incorporation of freeze-dried shellfish meats
into rat diets for evaluation of pharmacokinetic and toxicological differences in comparison
to similar doses of these metals administered in drinking water. At this stage, a suitable
sea water system has been developed for dosing of oysters with cadmium (410 ppm) and
copper (360 ppm) were found in freeze-dried meats of these animals indicating a much
faster and greater capacity for cellular accumulation of these elements than is known to
exist in mammals. During the next year, glucose metabolism and oxygen consumption in '
similarly dosed oysters will be studied.

This project is designed to provide the ecological data required for
making management decisions concerning regional development and for
assessing the potential impact of petroleum hydrocarbons on the eco-
system. The results of this research will be immediately applicable
to decisions on the lofeation of deepwater ports, expansion of refinery
capacity at existing sites verses the development of new sites, and the
regulation of tanker traffic in parts of the sound.
Investigations will be based on existing ecological and environmental
data augmented by field and laboratory investigations. Priority will be
given to evaluating the ecological factors at risk from the instantaneous
release of a large volume of oil. Second priority will be given to
the ecological factors at risk from the chronic effects associated with
transnort, transfer, and processing of oil and oil products. Output
products will include: (1) description of existing ecological and en-
vironmental conditions, (2) the present occurrence and variability of
petroleum related pollutants, (3) a state-of-art oil spill trajectory
model for northern Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and
(4) an ecosystem model to provide prediction of fate and effects of
selected pollutants on components of the marine ecosystem.

A detailed 5-year environmental assessment study of the Buccaneer oil and gas field
vas initiated in April 1976. The Buccaneer Field ia about 30 miles •oath of Galveston,
Texas, and is relatively isolated trem other gam and oil wells. It inclaaes two pro-
duction platform* and 13 satellite platforms. The field has produced both gas and oil
since 1963. The objective* of the stndy ant to describe the existing eccsyateas and
area! distribution of their major cotaponentsj to compare the concentrations of pollutaal s
in the sediments, water, and biota of the oil field with those in an unaltered area;and
to identify changes that have occurred. The project is making use of historical and
new data to describe and quantify the biological, chMtical, and physical characteristic!
and the tesporal variations of these characteristics in the envlronBents of the oil
field and the control area. Surveys have been <*•«•<»•»•«.* to describe the hydrography,
water quality parameters, sediments, pollutants, and the abundance, distribution,div
sity and habitat of major planktonia, benthic, and pelagic ceeannities.

The objective of this task is to develop the capability to measure and evaluate
existing and anticipated environmental impacts of energy-related technologies on
important biotic assemblages in the aquatic environment.
To accomplish this objective, representative data sets have been tested using
various analytical techniques. The techniques considered include correlation,
distance and association coefficient matrices, diversity indices, and various
cluster and ordination analyses. Two other short-term projects were undertaken
aa part of this task—a hierarchical diversity study and a similarity coefficient
atudy to determine what coefficient(s) should be used when clustering biological
data from stream surveys.
With the completion of the data evaluation, species associations will be identified
for additional laboratory and field studies to determine their functional role
in the environment. This information will subsequently be used to adapt or
create statistical and/or ecosystem simulation models in order to accomplish the
Stated objective.

The objective of this task is to investigate thermal impacts on bluegills
as measured by physiological and biochemical changes in the blood. Our
approach is to subject the fish to various thermal plume conditions associated
with constant and oscillating background temperatures. Peripheral blood
from the caudal peduncle is used for morphological and chemical analyses,
including microanalysis of the chemical constituents of the plasma.
We have worked out most of our analytical methods on available fish—viz,
catfish, goldfish, and bluegills. Currently, we are studying population
density effects on these fish to establish carrying capacities for
maintaining and culturing fish for our thermal experimental work. To date,
we have obtained data on catfish and goldfish and have initiated similar
studies on bluegills. The data are currently being reduced for statistical
analyses. In addition, we are setting up our baseline studies on bluegills
to characterize the blood.

* The objective of the research project is to determine the best type of intake
- design to mitigate deleterious effects to the zooplankton community of a water
;...; body. To accomplish this goal, several different types of intake designs and
' sitings of these intakes will be evaluated as to the rate of entrainment, the
.£ percentage of the community entrained, and the possible effects of the entrain-
j ment upon the community. The results of this research will permit a description
; of zooplankton distribution in response to naturally occurring phenomena (e.g.,
currents, thermal stratification, pressure changes induced by objects in the
.'''• water column, etc.) to be made. By knowing these responses, criteria can be
j developed for use in designing and locating intakes which will minimize the
'• entrainment of zooplankton.
,:' Specific studies will generally conform to the following format. The horizontal
' '•• and vertical distribution of the organisms in a water mass upstream of the
",; intake, at the intake, and dox?nstream of the intake zone will be determined
„ (i.e., the same water mass). In addition, temperature, current direction, and
••'! current velocity data for various depths will be collected. A second phase
* will be to assess in the laboratory the avoidance behavior of zooplankton to
; currents and pressure changes resulting from different-shaped objects placed
• in the water column.
r Entrainment effects (316b) studies were initiated in 1974 at eleven TVA
ft fossil-fueled steam-electric stations. Data from these studies have been used
,,t as guides for selecting appropriate study sites. Intake evaluation will be
- conducted at Gallatin, Johnsonville, Bull Run, Browns Ferry, and Colbert

that minimize the infiltration of precipitation into trenches containing radioactive
waste. Using literature surveys and inhouse expertise, the contractor shall summarize
proven practices, proposed studies, and pilot demonstration projects. The contractor's
expertise shall be required to synthesize and to apply this data base to the shallow
land burial of containerized (drums, boxes, etc.) radioactive waste.
Specific efforts shall be directed toward, but not limited to, the following topics:
a. Trench and trench cap design
b. Backfilling and compaction requirements
c. Site erosion control and reyegetation •
d. Relative costs of implementing alternatives for items 1-3
e. Methods to-evaluate the site water budget
Supportive conclusions shall be supplied by the contractor as to which practice or
combination of practices in the long run, will result in minimal water saturation of
waste and maximum surface stabilization so as to minimize perpetual care and mainte-
nance. This shall be accomplished by applying:

This set of studies represents a portion of a multi-institutional policy-
oriented technology assessment of the socioeconoraic and environmental impacts
which might result from a proposed increased concentration of energy conversion
facilities within the Ohio River Basin.
Utilizing the best available data bases, these studies will attempt to
address the broad-scale environmental, institutional, economic and social effects
of various future combinations of energy conversion facilities.tj.e., coal-based plants
producing synthetic fuels, as well as nuclear and coal-fired electric power
generating plants) and their required support facilities (i.e., coal mining,
processing and transportation; ash and sludge disposal facilities; nuclear
fuel and reactor waste transportation facilities; and energy transportation systems,
including electrical power transmission systems) that might be built and operated
in this region in the future.
The principal objectives of this assessment are (1) to assist in outlining
the full range of policy options for dealing with selected kinds of development,
alternative levels of development and their possible undesirable effects, and
alternative technological levels of environmental controls; and C2) to analyze
the probable impacts that would result from Implementing each option in its total
framework, with special emphasis on the natural environment and its inter-
relationship with public health and welfare. The full range of primary,
secondary, and higher order effects will be considered.

This set of studies represents a portion of a multi-institutional policy-
oriented technology assessment of the socioeconomic and environmental impacts
which might result from a proposed increased concentration of energy conversion
facilities within the Ohio River Basin.
Utilizing the best available data bases, these studies will attempt to
address the broad-scale environmental, institutional, economic and social effects
of various future combinations of energy conversion facilitiesCi.e., coal-based plants
producing synthetic fuels, as well as nuclear and coal-fired electric power
generating plants) and their required support facilities Ci-e., coal mining,
processing and transportation; ash and sludge disposal facilities; nuclear
fuel and reactor waste transportation facilities; and energy transportation systems,
including electrical power transmission systems) that might be built and operated
in this region in the future.
The principal objectives of this assessment are (1) to assist in outlining
the full range of policy options for dealing with selected kinds of development,
alternative levels of development and their possible undesirable effects, and
alternative technological levels of environmental controls; and (2) to analyze
the probable impacts that would result from implementing each option in its total
framework, with special emphasis on the natural environment and its inter-
relationship with public health and welfare. The full range of primary,
secondary, and higher order effects will be considered.

The objectives of this study are to determine the effects of gas velocity and solid-
liquid loadings on mist eliminator performance and to determine the mechanical and
chemical methods necessary to maintain continuous reliable operation. The study is
to be carried out at TVA's 1-MW lime/limestone scrubbing pilot plant facility located
at the Colbert Power Plant. The initial mist eliminator designs are formed from a
compilation of data received from previous pilot plant tests at TVA and observations
of other research projects throughout the world.
The 1-MW lime/limestone scrubbing pilot plant facility operated during this fiscal year
in the effort to develop reliable closed-loop mist eliminator washing techniques for
lime/limestone systems where the mist eliminator is positioned in the vertical duct.
Systematic operation of a Chevron-type mist eliminator led to a 1000-hour long-term
run in the limestone mode and a 560-hour run in the lime mode.
Continuous operation of the Chevron-type mist eliminator, positioned horizontally in a
vertical duct, in the limestone system was maintained (after extensive testing) by
washing the bottom of the mist eliminator intermittently with a11 the available clari-
fied liquor immediately followed by an allocated amount of the allowable makeup water.
The top of the mist eliminator was washed intermittently with the remaining allocation
of allowable makeup water. Continuous mist eliminator performance in the lime system
was maintained by washing the bottom of the mist eliminator intermittently with an
allocated amount of allowable makeup water. The remainder of the allocated makeup water
was used to intermittently wash the top of the mist eliminator.

As a part of its ongoing economic research program, TVA is in the process of
developing a Regional Economic Simulation Model of the TVA region and its
principal subregions. The objectives of the present work are to expand the
existing model for use in: (1) assessing an area's sensitivity to various
national parameters; (2) evaluating the impact in small areas (economic area
or multicounty planning area) on population, labor force, employment, etc.
of a major construction activity; e.g., construction of a large nuclear energy
plant; and (3) providing the macroeconomic data base at a multicounty level
that is necessary for rigorous site specific analyses. Much of the conceptual
work has been done, but a significant effort is required to make the model an
operational tool for driving energy and environmental planning models. A
demonstration of the two sector model (population-labor force and employment
sectors) for a multicounty area will be completed by 12/76.

1. Objectives - The objective of the project is to determine residual output from
an integrated power system.
2. Approach - Wevare using the model which will be based on a power system simulation,
model POVEISY1':* developed by OTA, but will be capable of being used with other
power system simulation models. It will be capable of predicting the residual
output cf a power system on a plact-by-plant basis as a function of time and
extended over two or more decades. The development is being coordinated
with TVA Power Program Integrated Planning Model.
3. Progress - We are using the residuals sulphur dioxide and gross particula^es to
develop e. pilot residual report. Specific emission rates (in Ibs. per 10° BTU)
for sulphur dioxide and participates for TVA. plants under an assumed abatement
strategy have been obtained. Programming on the residual model for purposes
of producing the pilot residual report has begun.

Output Summary:
The outputs of this project consist of demonstrations of the desirability and
practicality of using computer graphic techniques for improving and facilitating
the environmental impact assessment of power generating facilities. Current
applications include: (a) the use of interactive computer graphics for the
analysis of the output of computerised models which predict the dispersion of
environmental residuals and (b) the development of a system for processing,
analyzing and displaying geographically referenced data for use in power plant
site impact assessment. An inventory of computer graphics applications has
been prepared. Numerous demonstrations have been implemented. Most of the
techniques developed to date have been readily accepted as a means of improving
day-to-day assessment activities.
