INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Protection Agency/Office of Research and Development
has prepared this research directory in an effort to better coordinate information
dissemination for health and environmental effects research. This directory
supersedes the "Fiscal Year 1975 Health and Environmental Effects Research
Program Abstracts, " published in April 1976 . Specific modifications include
more comprehensive information as to funding, support method, task, project
officer, responsible organization and pertinent dates.
The project level descriptions contained in this volume constitute technical
and programmatic information concerning the Environmental Protection Agency/
Office of Research and Development1 s health and environmental effects research.
Each project has been funded by the FY 1975 Interagency Energy/Environment
supplemental appropriation being coordinated by the Office of Energy, Minerals
and Industry. In addition, each project has been assigned to one of five research
development and demonstration categories: Pollutant Characterization, Measure-
ment and Monitoring, Environmental Transport Processes, Health Effects, Ecologi-
cal Effects and Integrated Assessment.
Project descriptions are culled from "Notice of Research Project" forms.
These forms have been prepared under sponsorship of appropriate laboratories
and agencies using the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange (SSIE) format.
Tables have been prepared to reflect the EPA/ORD FY 1975 supplemental
energy appropriation budget that is directed toward energy-related health and
environmental effects research. Tables 1 through 9 contain the funds budgeted
by the Environmental Protection Agency to a single agency; Table 1 represents
in-house EPA funding, while Tables 2-9 indicate those agencies receiving EPA
pass-through funds. Table 10 is a summary table of all pass-through funds,
and Table 11 is a summary of both EPA in-house and pass-through funds.
The tables are arranged by research category and fuel type (technology).
Exhibit A indicates objectives within each category. The column headed "multi-
fuel" includes all research dealing with five or more fuels, while the column
headed "all" is a summation of all fuels within each category. Each research
category has a summation row designated "xx" showing the totals of each fuel
in the category. With these tables, it is possible to tell at a glance the funds
directed to any research category (row), fuels source (column), or agency
(table).
Similar information on environmental control technology research is contained
in another volume covering: Energy Resource Extraction, Physical and Chemical
Coal Cleaning, Flue Gas Cleaning, Direct Combustion, Synthetic Fuels, Nuclear,
Thermal, Improved Efficiency, and Advanced Systems.

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.
(1) Objectives. The objective of this project is to provide base
line air quality monitoring data and assessment reports for areas which
are or will be most seriously impacted by present or projected energy-
related development activities.
(2) Approach. An inventory will be conducted of energy related
sources and monitoring networks in the western U.S. and stations will be
selected to be integrated in the ambient air quality assessment. Selec-
tion criteria will include consideration of validity of air quality
stations/data as well as spectrum of parameters measured and energy
related activity development scenario. Network air quality data em-
phasizing the Four Corners area, the Northern Great Plains area, the
Oil Shale Areas of Colorado and Utah, the Black Mesa area of Arizona,
and sites in New Mexico outside the Four Corners area will be in-
tegrated to establish the long term air quality base line for the
criteria pollutants (CO, NOX, SOX, photochemical oxidants, hydrocarbons
and particulate matter), toxic substances and visibility. The airborne
platforms will be used to supplement the ground station air quality
data, conduct visibility and special studies, and provide data for
modeling efforts of the impact from energy related sources.
(3) Current Plans. The aircraft which will be used on sampling
missions has been outfitted with the necessary instrumentation and is
currently undergoing tests. The field work will be conducted under
a contractual arrangement. The awajjd of this contract is'anticipated

Jbjective;
Approach;
A groundwater monitoring model and strategy that will be applicable to any
basin containing a coal strip mine, an oil shale mining and processing
project, a geothermal resource development, and a complete groundwater
basin monitoring validation of a previously developed strategy.
Two groundwater basins will be intensively studied by applying theoretically
developed monitoring strategies and the results developed into a guideline
for monitoring groundwater quality.
The work under this program will be performed by contract, and in-house.
Approximately 80 percent (task 01) of the initial effort will be a contract
covering groundwater monitoring In the coal strip mining area on the east flank of the
Powder River Basin, Wyoming. The same contractor (task 01) will also expend about a
20 percent effort in groundwater monitoring around tracts Ua and Uj, of the Unita Basin,
Utah.
Task 07 is an In-house effort for prioritization of pollutants in the two basins
to be studied.
Current Plans:
To direct studies in the two basins partly through contracts. Collection of all
baseline data and all on-going monitoring efforts will be identified and all relevant
data available will be used in the project. After development of the monitoring
strategy the plan will be applied and further developed through a four year period.

Objective of this work is to design and build a compact economical x-ray spectrometer
for on-s1te measurement of sulfur concentrations in airborne particulate samples.
Many of the components, including miniature low-power x-ray tube, crystals, and
detectors, are to be obtained commercially, but a number of special components are
being built at NRL. A special low-power x-ray tube for more efficient close coupling
to the sample will also be built for improved excitation efficiency. A sealed
spectrometer chamber using vacuum or helium gas will be employed. Principal design
objective is to achieve satisfactory 100-second analyses of samples collected in
30 minutes or less at or near sources, and 15-minute analyses of ambient level
samples collected in two hours or less.

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 iuch information. Your aummary is to be used for these purposes.
The current energy crisis has necessitated the use of types of fossil
fuels previously not used. Some of these fuels are "dirtier" and contain
higher levels of sulfur, non-combustibles, and other undesirable materials
that can increase the pollution emissions. Some of these emissions may
be hazardous inorganic compounds. Little information is available on
the exact inorganic compounds emitted from sources using or processing
fossil fuels. Most of the current effort on analysis, not on the exact
inorganic compounds.
To assist the effects of the emissions from the use of the various
types of fossil fuels on human health and welfare, methods are needed to
identify and to measure the amounts of inorganic compounds in these
emissions. With such methods, the needed data can be obtained.
The purpose of this task is to develop, to evaluate, and to test in
the field methods for the identification and measurement of the amounts
of inorganic compounds emitted from sources using or processing fossil
fuels. This contract will also provide much needed data on the types
and amounts of inorganic compounds emitted from these sources.

The objective of the project is to build a true monitor instrument capable of
recording the/mass distribution of aerosols in the laboratory and in the field.
Time constants will range from minutes or less for source emissions to several hours
for unpolluted air (background aerosol). A subordinate objective is to facilitate
size-selective sampling of particulate matter of very low airborne concentration for
subsequent physical and chemical analysis. The design makes use of the concept of
the Stober spiral duct centrifuge for aerosols and incorporates a number of quartz
oscillators as size-selective mass sensors along the duct. Current plans anticipate
a prototype instrument for continuous sampling and telemetric mass distribution data
acquisition in the size range between 0, 3 and 5 flm diameter. Preceding studies have
shown that the size range can be extended (p, 08 to 10 ym) and that the concept of the
quartz oscillator as a sensitive piezoelectric microbalance has considerably less
restrictions when ppplied in a spinning spiral duct centrifuge than under normal
gravity conditions without size selection.

Contract 68-02-2220
In 1971 the Environmental Protection Agency provided in the Federal
Register a standard method (Method 8) for determining Sulfuric Acid Mist
from Sulfuric Acid plants. Along with this method were new federal
standards of performance for acid mist emissions from new stationary
sources. The analysis of Sulfuric Acid plant emissions requires the
separate determination of Sulfur Dioxide (S02) and Sulfuric Acid Mist
according to Method 8. The determination of SO, and H-SO. mist on an
extractive basis. This method involves intermittent sampling, not
capable of providing any reasonable type of continous acid mist monitoring
without an overburdening amount of equipment and manpower. It is therefore
desirable and necessary to develop some type of instrumentation capable
of providing in-situ HgSO, mist monitoring for sulfuric acid plants.
The purpose of this contract is to construct one (1) prototype acid
mist monitor. The monitor shall be capable of determining sulfuric acid
mist over a range of 1 to 100 mg/m . The monitor is intended for use on
contact sulfuric acid manufacturing plants and is to be mounted on an
emission stack; hence, it shall be operable under the industrial conditions
normally encountered.

Because of the limited supply of clean burning fuels and as a consequence of
the present energy crisis, fuels of higher sulfur content are to be used. Accurate
and reliable measurement of partlculate sulfate is badly needed 1n view of recent
studies indicating significant correlations between sulfate concentration and
certain respiratory diseases.
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy 1s a technique useful in determining the elemental
composition of particulates. The possibility exists that most of the partlculate
sulfur in some areas of the country occurs 1n the form of sulfate. One of the main
objectives of this contract and any extensions 1s to evaluate this possibility.
In the first phase of the current contract, the best of the present day methods
were evaluated in terms of precision, accuracy and percent Interference effect of
twelve Interferents. Then, samples were collected 1n the field for the purpose of
Intercomparison using the various sulfate methods studied. From these results the
contractor will determine what correlations exist among total partlculate sulfur,
water soluble sulfates and total partlculate sulfate.
The primary objective of this contract extension is to utilize the expertise
and knowledge gained by the contractor 1n the original project period to reach the
following goals: (1) The analysis of a designated number of partlculate sulfate
samples collected in the field by the two best wet chemical methods; (2) the study,
on a limited basis, of the most significant interferences indicated from work done
in the preliminary evaluation.

Grant No. 803109
A development program is proposed to define the working parameters for a practi-
cal lidar system for remote monitoring and tracking of specific air pollutants.
The system is designed to be of particular use in the monitoring and tracking of
molecular pollutants produced by stationary and area sources as well as for measuring
ambient pollution conditions.
A multifrequency dye laser will be used to detect pollutants by measuring the
differential absorption of atmospheric elastic backscatter on and off resonance
absorption peaks. The proposed scheme therefore combines the sensitivity of
resonance absorption measurements with range Information as to provide an accurate
method of determining accurately pollutant concentration and its spatial distribution.

The University of Nebraska proposes a one-year study to investigate the use of
potassium ferrate as an alternate or preliminary oxidant in the^total oxygen^
demand (TOD) test. The present dichromate method does not oxidize all organic
compounds completely. This is especially true for ammonia. The ferrate ion,
being a much stronger oxidant, has been reported to oxidize dilute ammonia solu-
tions as well as a variety of organic compounds. The oxidation of ammonia and
the complete oxidation of organic compounds would provide for a much more accurate
measure of TOD.
The proper pH and oxidation time remain to be optimized by repeated titrations
on standard water samples containing ammonia and other oxidizable substances.
Measurement of COD and TOD on real wastewater samples will be made to determine
correlations between the two analysis schemes.

Three tasks are covered by this project:
1. Vegetation Stress - This task will investigate the feasibility of detecting stress
in vegetation through the use of laser fluorosensing techniques. Both laboratory
and extensive field studies will be conducted with a prototype laser fluorosensing
instrument. Current planning includes the construction of a suitable test site by
Dec. 1975 and the construction of a laser fluorosensing system by Dec. 1976.
2. Water Quality - This task is an extension of on-going work at the facility to
measure certain water quality parameters through the use of laser fluorosensing
techniques. A laser fluorosensing system will be constructed by Dec. 1976
with field evaluation completed by June 1977.
3. Air Quality - This task is an extension of on-going projects to determine air
quality over wide geographical areas through active remote sensing techniques.
Specific objectives include the development of a two frequency downlooking
airborne LIDAR by June 1976 and an earth reflected differential absorption
system for monitoring tracer gases released to simulate effluents from proposed
sources (June 1977).

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.
Recent contract work by the Better Environmental Development Corporation
has resulted in a prototype flame photometric total sulfur monitor which
has significant improvements in sensitivity and stability over existing
flame photometric sulfur analyzers. It has been determined from evaluation
by FMIB that certain improvements and changes can be incorporated into a
new unit which will further increase sensitivity to less than one part-
per-billion of total sulfur. Also the detector system used in the BED
monitor can be used in conjunction with a sulfur chromatograph to analyze
individual sulfur compounds at a concentration of less than 10 ppb.
The purpose of this contract will be to have designed and built a
(1) total sulfur monitor incorporating modifications to increase the
sensitivity and stability of the systems and (2) a flame photometric
detector system which is designed to be incorporated into a chromatograph.

The goals of the project are: 1) to employ a previously developed low pressure
impactor to sample aerosol in several geographic locations 2) to extend the size
fractionation capabilities of the system and 3) to explore promising techniques for
sampling sub-micron aerosols. In particular, the system will be used to collect
aerosols for subsequent determination of size distribution and trace element con-
centration in the Gary, Indiana area, for determination of the size distribution of
atmospheric lead in the Champaign, Illinois region and for characterization of the
size distribution of sulfur compounds in the St. Louis, MO area.
Currently, the system 1s operated such that it provides a cut-point size of
0.05 urn for particles of density two on the last impaction stage. Work will be done
to reduce this lower fractionation size.

Objective; The preplanning study will evaluate the probable hydrologic effects and
the kinds of hydrologic data needed to assess the environmental impact of mining
operations in Alaska. It will outline the most likely areas for development of
mining operations and anticipated hydrologic problems peculiar to those areas. It
will include the following:
1. Determination of surface and groundwater availability for mining operations and
transportation of coal to markets or shipping points.
2. Determination of baseline premining water quality in potential mining areas so
that downstream changes in quality can be anticipated and monitored.
3. Consideration of special artic hydrologic problems related to mining in perma-
frost areas.
4. Develop a long-range plan for impact studies that will include alternative courses
of action that will depend on various development plans.
5. Arrange study areas and problems in priority sequence to aid in the making of
decisions on the implementation of future studies.
The study will compile existing information to determine where and what types of
hydrologic studies are needed and will estimate the cost of such studies so that
the mining impact can be evaluated in an orderly manner. A limited field reconnais-
sance will be made to collect data in potential mining areas where presently data are
not available.
Progress; Two coal fields, the Susitna and Nenana were selected for study this-year.
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the fields has been completed and systematic data col-
lection is under way. Data collection includes a continuous stage and discharge streajn
gaging station and miscellaneous dischargS and water(duality sediment measurements at

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; Approximately 45 water quality and biologic parameters have been determined
from samples obtained at 13 sites in the basin. This sampling program will be
continued for different flow regimes. This effort will also help to identify the
buffering ability of the natural surroundings in neutralizing acid mine drainage.
Gaging station sites have been identified and some gages installed to examine the
downstream storage dilution, and conversion of constituents. These sites are located
between and including a one square mile stripped basin and the New River basin outlet
(382 square miles).
Land cover types have been derived from LANDSAT data and are being processed for the
entire New River basin. In addition, thermal infrared imagery has been used to identif
seeps with potential acid mine drainage.

UMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (I) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans 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.
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 rv.off 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.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plant 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.
Objective; The mining and reclamation practices at the Centralia mine appear to
conform to many of the regulations proposed in the various strip mining legislation
being considered. The water quality data presently available indicate little, if any,
deterioration of surface water quality downstream from the mine. If the Centralia
operations have indeed protected the water resources then the reclamation practices
and monitoring procedures have considerable transfer value. No current description of
the mining and reclamation practices related to water resources is available and no
evaluation of the effectiveness of the water quality monitoring system has been made.
The objectives of this project are: (1) to describe the strip mining and land recla-
mation practices at the Centralia Mine as they relate to the use and impact on the
water resources of the area and, (2) to evaluate the existing water quality monitoring
programs for the Centralia Mine in terms of adequacy and reliability.
Approach; To make field inspections and obtain serial photographs of the mine areas
and collect and compile data on geology, water quality, and water resources of the
area. GW data will be reviewed regarding potential for contamination. Existing
quality water monitoring will be evaluated for adequacy of site and parameters coverage
need for GW sampling, and reliability of field pH data.
Progress; Water quality equipment including specific conductance meters, pH-specific
ion meters, and sediment samplers has been obtained. Aerial photographs of the area
have been obtained. Groundwater and water quality data have been coded and stored.
The report resulting from the "Centralia Strip Mining and Monitoring" project is
essentially complete through the first draft and author revision stages.

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,
Objective; (1) To document at a reconnaissance level the occurrence of basic in-
organic and organic constituents in surface and ground waters of the coal mining
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 a few ground water
are being selected. 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 eaeh site in order to obtain data representative of different flow
regimes. Measurements of streamflow, pH, acidity (alkalinity), specific conductance,
temperature, and dissolved oxygen will be conducted in the field. Analyses for trace
metals (Al, As, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Hg, Pb, Zn) and Cl, 804, H2S, phenols, total organic
carbon, hardness, and turbidity will be made in the laboratory. An analysis of the
relationships between dissolved constituents and basin characteristics will be per-
formed.
Progress; Water samples have been collected at approximately 150 sites. The first
round of sampling has been completed with some significant results. Sulfate concen-
trations range from 22 mg/1 to 3600 rog/1. The higher sulfate values appear to be
associated with areas where underground mining operations predominate. Low pH, high
specific conductance, and high iron concentrations appear also to coincide with areas
where underground mines exist. pH ranged from 2.0 to 8.9, specific conductance 195-
13,700 mhos, iron content 150-4,400,000 ug/1. Preliminary analyses of data from the
first round of sampling seems to indicate that pH values_are not lowered in areas
where surface mined lands have undergone reclamation

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (!) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans 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.
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 deter-
minations will include temperature, specific conductance, DO, pH, and discharge.
Progress; As of September, about 50 percent of the study area has been disturbed by
the mining operation. 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), a drainage system for the mine has been dug
further modified the natural drainage pattern in the area.
A gaging station has been established on the main stream draining the area. Pour sets
of samples have been collected (essentially monthly) since May 1975. Data include (1)
common inorganic ions, (2) minor elements associated with the bottom materials and in
the dissolved, suspended, and total phases, (3) field alkalinities, and (4) field data
(specific conductance, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and discharge).

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.
evaluated, interpreted, and published.
Data will be analyzed,
Progress; Publications and maps of the Illinois Geological Survey were reviewed for
site selection and fifty states were selected and located on USGS topographic quad-
rangle maps for reconnaissance sampling. Each site has been sampled twice, once in
May and once in June, both during base flow periods.
Extremely acid conditions occurred at three locations (pH 3.3 to 5.0). These three
sites showed maximum concentrations of sulfate (4100 mg/1) , zinc (5.9 mg/1) , sulfide
(1.4 mg/1), aluminum (220 mg/1), arsenic (O.52 mg/1), chromium (0.64 mg/1), mercury
(2.2 mg/1), and phenol (.027 mg/1).
About one half the sites sampled had high sulfate concentrations in excess of 250 mg/1
and more scattered high concentrations of phenols and minor elements. It is suspect
that the high sulfates are caused by mining activities but in many cases sampling sites
were improperly located to sample the worst conditions. Tentative plans are to con-
tinue reconnaissance efforts to isolate those streams being degraded and to document
points of degradation and extent of the recovery reaches^

to develop an acceptable sampler(s) for measuring the discharge of bedload sediment par-
ticles so as to permit the effects of energy development, particularly mining activities
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 sam-
pler 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 equipment
survey is only partially complete, a Dynatrol density gage is being tested. One of the
bedload samplers of primary interest is the Helley-Smith sampler, which is a pressure-
difference-type sampler that has been used recently by several investigators. The
effects of various intake to exit area ratio^ are being

Objective: To develop instrumentation and methods for identifying and monitoring cojn-
taminants in aquifers by neutron activation. The emphasis will be on deep aquifers^
but the techniques will also apply to wastes migrating from land fill or radioactive*
waste disposal sites. The advantages of in_situ identification by activation are:
data can be interpreted immediately in the field so that changes can be monitored
continuously, information is obtained on the vertical distribution of contaminants ? and
identification of contaminants through casing is possible. The purpose of this study
will be to establish detection thresholds, interfering isotopes, the size of source
needed, effect of borehole, rock matrix parameters, and logging and interpretive
techniques.
Approach: Literature searches and laboratory investigations including borehole models
will be used to establish most logging parameters before activation logging, in the
unknown environment of a well, is attempted. Field tests should be carried out in an
area of known contamination where core or other high quality information is available
on the rock matrix. Activation and chemical analyses of water will be used for calib-
ration. Comparisons will be made between activation with Californium 252 and a pulsed
neutron source.
Progress;. Development of a probe containing a pulsed neutron generator and gated
detector and a probe and shield to utilize Californium for in_hole activation is in
progress. A system for digitizing gamma spectra in the field on computer compatible
7-track magnetic tape has been developed. This system has just been successfully
tested in the field at the West Valley, NY, Nuclear Fuel Services Company's radioactive
waste burial site. The system permits rapid recall of gamma spectra from the magnetic.
tape in the field for background subtract, spectral stripping and quantitative comparil
son with spectra previously recorded at the same depth in a borehole.

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, simplified
(•ode!) ecosystems and natural (field) sites, the extent to which trace contaminants
(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 contaminant
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 contaminants wil
also be determined.
Progress . Critical reviews have been conducted of the published literature and an
analysis made of experiences of other research workers with "procedures for measuring
effects on aquatic organisms and aquatic ecosystems of chronic exposures to trace con-
taminants. Responses to many inorganic and organic toxicants were considered but an
emphasis was placed on substances released to the environment as a consequence of fuel
extraction and combustion. Based on these reviews, test methods and important represen-
tative substances were selected for study.

Objective; 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: Project is closely coordinated with other studies involving the drilling of
wells. Funding in this project has been utilized to cover chemical analyses from 50
to 100 springs as well as covering some additional parameters being run of well samples
from the drilling.

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.
Objective: The objective of this study is to supplement the Geological Survey effort
required to describe the detailed steady-state conditions of the ground-water system of
the Piceance Creek basin prior to mining oil shale. The unstressed potentiometric
surface will be defined in order to calibrate digital models that can then be used to
predict the impacts of oil shale extraction, waste disposal, and water storage
reservoirs on the shallow ground and surface water regimes. The digital model will als
incorporate chemical and water quality data to provide predictions of changes in the
shallow ground-water and surface-water regimes that could be brought about by additiona
oil shale extraction in the Piceance basin.
Approach; The total project will involve the drilling of 40 wells, 20 completed in the
upper aquifer and 20 completed in the lower aquifer, in the Piceance and Yellow Creek
drainages of the Piceance basin. The wells will be of adequate diameter to accept
submersible pumps for aquifer testing and water quality sampling. Water levels will be
monitored and correlated with continuous hydrographs already installed at seven loca-
tions in the basin on a quarterly basis. The data collected will be used to construct
potentiometric maps for the aquifers. The maps will be used to improve the calibration
of the ground-water model and to provide baseline data for the region. The data so
collected will be supplemented by similar data from the lease tracts and from wells
where completions statistics and methods are known.
Progress; Efforts have been directed to drilling wells of which 55% is complete.

Objective; The objective of this project is to collect and coordinate the collection of
baseline geohydrologic and geochemical data in an area of principal coal reserves in
.northwestern Colorado to facilitate and improve efforts to describe the mechanisms
determining impacts of mining on the shallow ground-water and surface-water systems.
This study will initiate a reconnaissance geologic and hydrologic investigation in the
geographical area generally bounded by the Yampa River on the north, the Williams Fork
River on the south, Steamboat Springs on the east, and Juniper Springs on the west.
Existing wells and exploration programs of industry will be used to provide information
that will (1) identify areas requiring further investigation and (2) identify areas for
more intensive monitoring of impacts brought about by surface mining of coal.
Approach; The study will identify the principal areas of probable concern in terms of
surface mining of coal and possible impacts on the hydrologic system. The general
geographical area is that bounded by the Yampa and Williams Fork Rivers, the Steamboat
Springs area, and Juniper Springs. The usefulness of existing wells for delineating
the potentiemetric surface of principal shallow aquifers, identifying structural
controls on the system, and determining geochemical patterns will be determined. Water
level data from these and previous investigations will be contoured. The need for
additional observation wells to supplement the existing wells will be determined.
Progress; Data collection and chemical analyses of ground water in the coal areas of
Moffat, Routt, Garfield, and Rio Blanco Counties, the Danforth Hills, and Yampa Valley
are being updated. About 324 wells have been inventoried, 125 water-level measurements
made and 85 complete chemical plus a large suite of trace metals analyses run. A
report of the basic data with water level and chemical quality maps is being prepared.

Objective: To quantify the ground-water discharge contributing to stream flow of the
Tongue River downstream from the Tongue River Reservoir to the confluence of the Tongue
with the Yellowstone, To describe the chemical character of that discharge and to
correlate changes therein with geologic strata and to correlate changes in discharge
with the hydrologic character of the geologic strata. To provide low flow data for
assessment of biological implications,
Approach; Following the closure of the Tongue River Reservoir, an aerial infra-red
(thermal) scan will be made of the entire Tongue River starting at the Decker coal mine
along the Tongue River Reservoir to the Tongue River near Miles City stream flow
station. If any tributaries to the Tongue located downstream of the reservoir are
found to be flowing during the low-flow study, accurate records of flow and quality
as they enter the Tongue will be kept,
»
Progress ; The Tongue River Dam will be closed after October 1, 1975. Plans have been
made for a concentrated effort during October of (1) making a seepage run (measure
mainstem and tributary flow at intervals) from the Tongue River Dam to the confluence
with the Yellowstone River; (2) measuring water levels in observation wells near the
river; (3) collecting water samples from the river and from wells for chemical
analysis; (4) obtaining aerial infra-red imagery by the U.S. Forest Service and
concurrent temperature data along the Tongue River; and (5) analyzing the water
samples,

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 filed with the Montana Dept. of Natural
Resources & 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; Hydrologic investigations have shown some marked differences in the quality
of shallow ground water in wells installed in the Gascoyne coal mine area. These data
have been utilized in the Northern Great Plains Resources Program. The data have not
yet been collected over a sufficiently long period to permit an understanding of the
mechanisms contributing to deterioration of water quality. Not only will the data be
collected to establish current geochemical relationships but also to monitor changes
as mining and reclamation expand. The ultimate purpose of the monitoring is to
calibrate predictive methods to be utilized for planning and regulatory purposes.
Approach; Selected chemical analyses of indicator parameters will be performed at
either new wells or at existing wells. Field measurements^ including depth to water,
may be performed more frequently. Water quality analyses of shallow ground water in
up to six wells near the Gascoyne Mine will be performed.

Objective: The objective of this study is 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 Uinta basin of Utah. This study is an ongoing
effort to improve predictive geohydrologic and chemical models that may better evaluate
the impact of oil shale mining on the hydrologic regime of the Uinta basin. The total
effort is designed to develop the data base and analytical capability required to make
evaluations.
Approach: Water samples will be collected from new wells and many springs located in
the Uinta basin. A complete suite of chemical analyses will be conducted on selected
samples. Data will be used, as chemical patterns are established, to refine predictive
models of water quality both for those waters encountered by mining operations and thus
available for discharge from the mines and of those waters entering surface drainages
as springs and seeps.
Progress: To date 12 wells and springs in the Uinta basin have been sampled. A
comprehensive suite of chemical analysis have been completed. Sampling and analyses
will continue.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or lei*. 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.
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 hydrologic
system, (2) determine what data are available to 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; To date 35 samples from wells and streams in eastern Utah have been collecte
with chemical analysis in progress. 40 samples have been collected from the coal
regions in the Dirty Devil River drainage basin. These samples are being screened for
possible trace^metal determinations.

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.
Objective; This project is intended to assess the water resource contained in the
shallow aquifers of the Gillette area and to permit prediction of the effects of sur-
•face mining of coal, and of large water impoundments on these water resources. This
will be accomplished by adding on to an existing geologic drilling program the collec-
tion of physical and chemical hydrologic data.
Approach; Water level data and water samples will be collected from approximately
seven wells in a 50 square mile area located about 30 miles north of Gillette, Wyoming.
The holes will be completed to permit distinguishing between significant aquifers
during any testing or sampling. Additional holes will be drilled to allow adequate
evaluation of the aquifer characteristics for different depths and to allow the collec-
tion of cores, geophysical logs, and aquifer data. Data will be used to refine
predictive models of water quantities (levels) and quality as they may be affected by
surface mining and by large water impoundments.
Progresst To date, seven core holes drilled by the Coal Resources Branch of USGS have
been converted to water monitoring wells. In addition, three deep and three shallow
wells in proximity to the seven have been drilled and cased. All 13 wells are designed
to permit well tests which will measure differences in head and water qualities within
different water bearing beds. A complete suite of geophysical logs of all 13 holes has
been completed. Geological section measurements have been made from outcrop data and
correlated with subsurface data.

The objective is to increase the sensitivity of existing microwave ammonia gas
detectors by preconcentration techniques.
We will study the feasibility of trapping ammonia on surfaces then heating the
surface under carrier flow conditions to drive the concentrated gas off and deliver
it to the selective microwave detector.
We have designed and constructed test fixtures for the trap. We have looked
qualitatively at the following materials for trapping efficiency: stainless steel,
copper and platinum gauze, chromosorb 101 and 102, teflon shavings, glass wool and
silanized glass wool. We have so far found the metals to be very efficient traps
for ammonia but have been unable to repro'ducably drive it back off. The other
compounds trap with less efficiency but show promise for quantitative flashing.

Project (a); The characterization and quantitative determination of or-
ganlc pollutants, produced, for example, from fossil-fueled energy sources
define the objectives of this program. Aromatic carcinogens comprise a
particularly worrisome subclass of the pollutants. A new approach for
achieving the above objectives will be taken and involves site selection
or luminescence line narrowing spectroscopy and optical detection of
magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Utilization of a moderate peak power
tunable dye laser as the optical pumping source will permit (i) charac-
terization of molecules belonging to the above class at the part per
billion (or less) level and (ii) trace level analysis by three independent
spectroscopic "finger prints." Low energy laser excitation in the visi-
ble or near uv should circumvent the problem of the photochemical
decomposition of pollutants initiated by very high energy exciting
radiation.
Project (b); Airborne particulates may eventually constitute one of the
most dangerous forms of pollution arising from energy generation sources.
Atmospheric aerosols or particulates may be immobilized by filtration
or deposited by impaction on various media and examined by a number of
analytical techniques. For the definitive characterization of the
immobilized particulates, it is necessary to establish accurate calibra-
tions on an absolute mass basis for the analytical technique used. It
is this singularly difficult problem that is addressed by this
proposed study.

Summary of Proposed Work
The Chemical Engineering Division at ANL has developed methods for
the chemical characterization and analysis of airborne participate material
based on the infrared spectroscopic analysis of particulate samples embedded
in KBr pellets after collection on a Mylar film using an inertial impactor.
Work to be accomplished in the immediate future can be broken into four distinct,
but interrelated, program elements.
1) The infrared characterization of airborne particulate material
has been developed at ANL to the point where quantitative determination
of neutral sulfate is possible. In this program element, variations in
spectra are being investigated as a function of acidity to determine the
feasibility of using infrared spectra as a quantitative measure of the acidity
of sulfate-containing aerosol.
2) Present methods permit analysis of sulfate in the range from about
five to several hundred micrograms in samples collected on a Mylar film. In
this program element, a more detailed study of possible procedures v/hereby
filter samples can be analyzed using infrared techniques will be undertaken.
3) The infrared method developed at ANL and the light scattering
technique developed at the llniversity of Washington both permit time resolved
(one hour) identification of acid sulfate aerosol. These two methods make use
of quite different physical characteristics and side-by-side comparison of these
procedures seems advisable. This program element provides for ANL participation
in an extended (two to three weeks) field comparison study at a site where a
relatively high incidence of acid sulfate is anticipated.
4) A number of procedures are presently available, or under development,
for the quantitative analyses of sulfate in submicron particulates. This program
element provides for ANL participation in a direct comparison study of all
presently available procedures under field conditions.

This project will evaluate existing stack sampling procedures for particulates; develop
Improved sampling criteria, probes, and collection media; and develop a stack sampler
that provides particle size information. The evaluation will consider the importance of
isokinetlc sampling; losses in probe as a function of particle size and sampling condi-
tions; and collection efficiency of the filter media. Performance of the reverse type
Pitot tube and Importance of isokinetic sampling and particle losses in the probe will
be determined In a small-scale wind tunnel. Test aerosols will be used to evaluate
performance of the filtration media with respect to sampling rate, particle size, and
temperature. Redesigned portions of the stack sampler will be evaluated under similar
conditions. Initial work on the particle sizing stack sampler will be directed at the
use of a cascade centripetal-type device.

Sulfur dioxide has long been recognized as one of the major contributors to air
pollution. Recently it has been recognized that sulfate is a significantly more
deleterious pollutant. The principal sources of sul/hir oxides in urban areas are
fossil fuel, coal-and oil, used for power generation, space heating, and industrial
processing. A complex relationship exists between Mrban sulfur dioxide to urban and
non-urban sulfate and there is a need for a better understanding of the atmospheric
chemistry of sulfur compounds. Indeed, in many geographical areas control strategies
on sulfur content of fuel have led to a uarked decrease in the ambient sulfur dioxide
levels; however, concomitant decreases in the sulfate levels have not been obtained.
An understanding of this problem is predicated on a knowledge of the source emission
terms for sulfate and of the factors which affect these terms.
A complete assessment will be made of the facts forming the basis for source
emission terms for sulfate from oil and coal fired power plant and space heating
facilities. The analytical methods used for determining the sulfate emission factors
will be surveyed and evaluated. A suitable technique will be adopt d, built and
employed in at least one oil and one coal fired facility. Additior 1 technique
development will probably be necessary. Approaches will be formula ad, tested nnd
implemented as the needs and budget dictate. A major output of this program will
be the foundation for an emission data base for sulfate.

The proposed investigation is designed to develop mass spectrometrie
techniques for the investigation and assay of environmental pollutants. A
spark source mass spectrometrie technique will be used to attempt to "finger
print" samples obtained from black anthracotic particulate matter observed
in tracheobronchial lympfc.nodes. The pigmented ttaterial"contains an
integrated sample of air pollutants that have penetrated the bronchial tree
and are sequestered in the tracheobronchial lymph nodes. The general
characterization of these "black lung" substances may require a variety of
mass spectrometer techniques including methods used to study fragile molecular
species. Techniques of single ion impact and chemical lonization are possible
approaches to the study of volatile components of pigmented lung tissue.
These techniques can also be applied to the study of fragile molecules which
can be formed in atmospheric processes and which are serious health hazards.
The assay of perozyacetylnitrate is a case in point. This molecule and
other relatively unstable species will be investigated using the
conputerized tandem mass spectrometer facility in the BNL Chemistry
Department.

The primary Initial objective is the development of an on-Hne size-mass aerosol
monitoring device for utilization on an airborne platform. An eventual application
of this device would be to the Investigation of atmospheric aerosols from man-made
sources. Previous preparatory effort has been accomplished with state-of-the-art
particulate cascades and microbalance techniques. It 1s proposed that the micro-
balance be coupled with a cascade to produce size and mass data on a number of
aerosol sizes of interest. Laboratory investigations and proof testing of the
instrumental concept will precede environmental testing and hardening of the
instrument. A series of surface field tests will be conducted prior to installa-
tion on an airborne platform. These latter two segments of the project are not
envisioned for accomplishment during the first year.

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 inaqueous 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 metals pollutants from
estuary waters; and (c) expansion of the project on development and application of an
Inductively-coupled plasma analytical system for simultaneous multielement deter-
mination 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 will be extracted from the aqueous phase by activated carbon
and/or solvent extraction techniques and concentrates. Profiling of components will
be carried out using gas chromatographic methods employing standard and specific
element detectors. Fractionation of the organic mixture will be followed by
identification and quantification of some specific molecular species, e.g.i phenols,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and some nitrogenous bases. Trace metals will be
determined simultaneously by spark source mass spectrometry.
Samples of retort product water should be available soon from the Laramie
Energy Research Center. Meanwhile, charcoal extraction is being carried out on
available 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 concomitantly with chemical character!zaticji
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 steams 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 of methodology suitable for the extraction, concentration, frac-
tionation 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. Charcoal
extraction studies are in progress and appear to indicate good separations. Whole
sample and fraction profiles will be carried out employing gas chromatographic
techniques with standard and specific element selective detectors. Specific com-
pound analyses may be made if developmental work progresses smoothly; of special
concern are 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 sampTes 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.

Porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
In this program, analytical systems will be developed for specific application in
environmental monitoring, particularly monitors that can detect properties of
specific pollutants on a continual basis. These will include systems where photo-
metric or reagent development monitoring can be used.
In the consideration for continuous monitoring, pollutants conveniently fall into
several classes: 1) compounds that have uv-absorbing properties; 2) colored
substances capable of absorbing visible light; 3) compounds with native fluorescence;
U) oxidizable substances; 5) reducible substances; 6) compounds capable of reacting
with immobilized enzymes to produce a measurable heat of reaction. Based on the
above list, the-mode of monitoring can be divided into two basic types: (1) non-
interacting and (2) chemical reacting. We propose to develop monitoring systems
that will be useful in field testing for dissolved pollutants. The development
effort will progress through design, fabrication, and evaluation of prototype instru-
ments.
This is a new program, however, significant results in related areas have been
obtained. A miniature flow fluorometer has been designed and fabricated. It can be
used to monitor liquid streams for total fluorescent hydrocarbons, such as polynuclear
aromatics.
A sensitive (|jg/l) flow monitor which utilizes the reduction of cerium(lV) to
fluorescent cerium(III) to continuously measure oxidizable compounds in a polluted
water environment has been developed.

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.

The objective of this program is to design, fabricate, and field test a portable
centrifugal fast analyzer for monitoring environmental pollutants.
A centrifugal fast analyzer (CFA) consists of a multiple-cuvet rotor that utilizes
a centrifugal field to simultaneously transfer and mix a parallel number (i.e.,
up to U2) of samples and reagents into their respective cuvets. A stationary
photometer or fluorometer scans all the cuvets during rotation and the resulting
electronic signals can be acquired and evaluated either by a simple printer or
by an on-line computer. The advantages that result from the simultaneous and
parallel analysis .of multiple samples include: (1) increased precision and
accuracy due to'the superior optical performance, (2) low sample and reagent volume
requirements, (3) high sample analysis rate, {!»•} quick turnaround between different
analyses, and (5) automatic data acquisition.
A portable Centrifugal Fast Analyzer (CFA) has been developed and evaluated. The
lessons learned have been applied to a new design and an advanced prototype is
under construction. The following chemical assays have been adapted for use on
the portable CFA [brackets denote reagent(s) or method used]: N02- [indole,
dimethylaniline, and Marshal's reagent methods]; l" [catalytic effect on Ce(lV)];
SO -a [BaClg and CAD turbidimetric]; PQ."3 [molybdenum blue and 3^0 nm]; K+
[tetraphenyl boron turbidimetric]; Zn* and Pb^tPAR]; As(v) [molydbenum blue].

Fine particles emitted from coal fired plants represent a potentially serious and
widespread Inhalation problem. This arises primarily from the possible concentration
of toxic metallic and organic compounds in these particles. Although the availability
of different elements within the coal must control the possibility of their emission,
it is quite clear that design and operating parameters will also influence the nature
of the particles emitted from a specific source. The purpose of this study is to com-
pare, through a review of available data and supplemental sample collection and
analysis, the differences in the physical and chemical nature of fine particles emitted
during the use of eastern and western coals. Although the initial focus will be on
coal combustion for power generation, some of the results, information, and techniques
might later be used in considering particulate emissions from other methods of coal
utilization. This project was initiated July 1, 1975 and is therefore still in the
information gathering and evaluation phase. Local southwest USA sources for sample
collection have been identified which will permit future characterization of fine
particle emissions from such coal-burning plants.

porting research and are forwarded to Investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
Adequate assessment of the health consequences of inhaling potentially toxic or carcino-
genic particulates released into the atmosphere from power plants requires not only in-
formation about their concentrations and distribution, but also about their distribution
with respect to aerodynamic size since the deposition of inhaled particles in the re-
spiratory tract depends upon their aerodynamic properties. Inertial samplers, such as
cascade impactors, are used to collect a sample, graded with respect to aerodynamic
size for appropriate analysis of the material in each size group in the respirable
range. High volumetric sample rates are necessary for collecting sufficient material
on each sampler stage to allow accurate analysis. Many users of commercially available
high-volume inertial samplers depend upon the manufacturer to provide correct calibra-
tion data and operating instructions. Because most Inertial sampler design theory is
based on the performance of low-volume inertial samplers, faulty design or erroneous
calibration predictions may compromise the results obtained by the user of high-volume
samplers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate existing instruments and techniques
and to provide appropriate recommendations for improving the designs and techniques of
using high-volume inertia! samplers for collecting and studying air pollutant aerosols.
The procedure to be used is to (1) purchase inertial samplers from commercial sources,
(b) compare sampler design with accepted design criteria, (c) calibrate each instrument
with appropriate laboratory produced aerosols, (d) test each sampler under representa-
tive operating conditions both in the laboratory and at selected field sites, (e) sample
source materials with several samplers simultaneously for operational comparison, (f)
prepare critique for each device, and (g) provide criteria for improving performance
through design changes operating changes. A variety of inertial samplers have been
acquired and physical measurements of the dimensional relationships of the impactors
are underway.

Current techniques for the detection of CO in air are time consuming and require large
sample volumes. We propose to develop a prototype laser optoacoustlc spectrometer
to measure, within seconds, concentrations of CO of 10~7 or less even 1n the presence
of large concentrations of other gases. The required sample volume is in the order of
a few cubic centimeters.
A primary requirement for this technique 1s that the spectral output of the coherent
light source should match one or more of the absorption bands of the gas under
analysis. When the laser is/tuned to coincide with one of the absorption lines of
that gas, the laser light is absorbed. The sample is therefore heated proportional to
the concentration of the particular gas. By modulating the laser beam, the temper-
ature change of the sample is made time-dependent, and the resulting fluctuation of
pressure is detected with a capacitor microphone placed in the sample cell The
microphone signal is then amplified, recorded,, and/or digitized.
The laser excitation source Is tunable such that 1t can selectively excite each of the
set of absorption lines of the gas being analyzed. This, minimizes the effect of Inter-
ference from ambient gases. We propose to design a tunable laser with -^.1 MHz band-
width, which will result in ultrahlgh resolution spectroscopy.
Laser resonance absorption, optoacoustlc spectroscopy has advantages over other
detector schemes (resonance and ordinary Raman scattering, for example) of being re-
latively simple, giving good sensitivity, and requiring only low power lasers.

This program will evaluate and advance the status of current technology for
instruments, systems, and methods employed in environmental radiation measurements,
particularly related to radioactive effluents from facilities associated vith the
nuclear fuel cycle. These facilities include uranium mills, fuel-fabrication and
and fuel reprocessing plants, and advanced nuclear pover reactors, i.e., liquid-
metal fast-breeder reactors (LMFBR) and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR).
The approach will "be first, to review the technology, second to develop
specifications for the specific needs, and third to develop the required
instrumentation.
An extensive literature review with concurrent site visits to nuclear fuel
processing, fabrication plants and uranium mills will be nade to ascertain the
critical instrumentation and measurement problems. Emphasis is being placed on
detection and quantification of radioactive aerosols released from stack or present
In ambient air. Particular attention is being given to the transuranic elements.
The main thrust of this project will be to develop suitable hardware for stack or
fence-line measurements.

This program will study the instrumentation presently employed in the nuclear fuel
cycle for monitoring plutonium and uranium particulates. The nuclear fuel cycle
includes the mining and milling of uranium ores, fuels used in nuclear reactors,
fuel reprocessing plants and the transportation of nuclear fuel between these
activities. Any gaps in the existing instrumentation and measurement technology
will be reported and recommendations will be made for their elimination.
Based on the methodology employed in compiling the survey of Instrumentation for
Environmental Monitoring, Radiation, this study will evaluate new measurement
procedures and compare them with methods presently in use.

Accurate and reliable analyses of various environmental and biological samples are
required to assess the impact of radioactive wastes from the production of uranium
and thorium on man and his environment. The most accurate and reliable standards
to evaluate the capability of different laboratories or analytical procedures are
generally solid materials containing exactly known concentrations of the various
radionuclides involved. A standard for both the 238U and 235U series has been
prepared from a sample of pitchblende known to contain primary unaltered mineral
in true secular equilibrium. By analyzing the ore for uranium, which was done by
a simple accepted volumetric procedure, the activity of all -the daughters of both
series can be calculated from the known abundances and half-lives of the uranium
isotopes. Thus, an essentially primary standard is obtained whose activities are
known accurately, free of any bias due to direct analytical measurements of the
radioactive nuclides themselves. Extensive analyses for all of the long-lived
daughters have confirmed the condition of secular equilibrium. Other standards
have been prepared from both natural thorium ores and uranium tailings, and are
in the process of being standardized by several different procedures of proven
accuracy and reliability to determine the activity of the pertinent radioactive
species. These standards will be made available to other laboratories to assist
in their own quality control.

The increased attention to the development of alternate energy sources will result
in increased numbers of workers exposed to toxic chemical substances. The recent
advances in solid state electronics and surface physics is making it possible to
consider personal, direct reading instruments which can take breathing zone samples
of the worker and quickly display the concentration or give suitable warning. The
personal monitors would use metal oxide surface semiconductors, piezoelectric
crystals, microminiature gas chromatograph columns as sample collectors and
separators. Collector responses would be analyzed using state-of-the-art
electronics with the concentrations displayed in a suitable format. Preliminary
information as to specific applications in mind, dealing with coal processing
are as follows:
a. HoS - e.g., specific contaminant in the Synthane Process under
investigation by the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
b. CO - e.g., specific contaminant in the Synthane Process under
investigation by the U.S. Bureau.of Mines.
c. Hydrocarbons - e.g., contaminants in the Solvent Refined Coal Process
under development by Pittsburg and Midway.

Tn the Smithsonian Science [nformation 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.
Present requirements exist for a portable gas monitor which is capable of
selectively detecting several trace contaminants of a hazardous or toxic nature
in air. Few techniques are available which are based upon a physical measurement
and have the required specificity and sensitivity. This project will be the
continuation of a feasibility study (scheduled for completion in 10/75) into
the development of a portable microwave spectrometer for the detection of several
low molecular weight compounds. The spectrometer would be capable of selectively
quantifying one of several compounds sampled directly from the working environment.
The first phase of development would lead to a field prototype with later stages
directed to increasing the sensitivity and variety of compounds which would be
monitored. Ten substances, including the following, are being investigated for
use on a feasibility basis presently:
a. NH3 - e.g., specific contaminant in the Synthoil Process under
investigation by the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
b. SC>2 - e.g., specific contaminant in the Solvent Refined Coal Process
under development by Pittsburg and Midway.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards presently require
assessment of worker exposure to asbestos aerosol. Exposure to fibrous glass
and other fibrous aerosols will have to be monitored in the future. These
materials are widely used in the insulation industry and with the current
push for energy conservation will be used more extensively. At this time,
there is no instrument available to rapidly measure the concentration of
fibrous dust in the air. The development of a fibrous aerosol monitor would
allow real time measurement of fibrous aerosols for the purpose of accurately
detecting areas in the workplace that contain potentially dangerous concentrations
of fibrous aerosols. The development of the monitor will be a one year contract
effort after which it will be necessary to comprehensively test the monitor for
accuracy and suitability under a wide range of field and laboratory conditions.
The results of these tests will be used in further development of the fibrous
aerosol monitor as a rugged, portable and accurate field survey instrument for
the assessment of worker exposure to fibrous aerosols.

The primary objectives are to determine the most reliable, accurate, precise and robust
instruments for collection and fractionation of suspended particulates for subsequent
analysis for size distribution, sulfates, and trace metals. A literature survey of
available instruments and techniques for sampling of suspended particulates for size
distribution and mass concentration is to be made and the most practical instruments
selected for a field comparison test. This is a new project and only general plans
have been completed. Detail plans will be made after the completion of the literature
survey of available instruments and the selection of personnel to conduct the test.
A comparison field test of the most practical and available instruments for collection
and separation of suspended particulates for size distribution, mass concentration and
analysis of trace elements and sulfates is to be conducted at a regular high-volume
sampling station near a coal^fired power plant. All instruments are to be operated
simultaneously and alongside the high-volume sampler. Analytical data of the samples
are to be evaluated and intercomparisons of sampling instruments made to identify the
best sampling method to fractionate suspended particulates. Preliminary surveys of
the literature are in progress, a list of equipment available in TVA has been completed,
and staffing is in progress.

The objective of this program is to develop cost effective data acquisition and
processing systems which measure physical and chemical parameters in the marine
environment to support offshore energy resource development programs.
It is planned to develop two relatively independent systems:
1) Seascan: An underway, interactive water measurement system that will allow
rapid, quasisynoptic, fine scale delineation of the coastal current field
as needed for input to the concentration/trajectory model. Future plans
call for the possible inclusion of temperature, salinity and optical
capabilities to this system.
2) Towed surface sampler for hydrocarbons: This system will allow uncontaminated,
underway surface sampling for hydrocarbons, thus bypassing the present method
of accumulation and storage of large amounts of water where contamination may
occur. This system also has the potential for measuring certain trace metals.
This project will begin the last week in August 1975.

Subtask I - The Application of Doppler Lidar to Atmospheric Transport Processes
The objective of the proposed research is to develop and test an operational
frequency-modulated, continuous-wave (FM/CW) doppler lidar sensor for measuring and
monitoring in a continuous mode the atmospheric processes that transport, disperse,
and concentrate airborne pollutants. The following data would be obtainable from this
sensor:
"profiles of wind velocity and turbulence
"velocity of dispersal of pollutant clouds
'velocity in severe-weather vortex phenomena
"mixing depth
"velocity and range in stack effluent plumes
The proposed FM/CW doppler techniques will allow improved resolution of the above
measurements, especially the altitude scale for vertical profiles of wind velocity and
turbulence.
Subtask II - Development and Application of Lidar Techniques to Measure Particulate
Pollution Arising from Power Generation Facilities
The primary objective of the research is to develop measurement techniques for
tracing and analyzing the pollutants arising from existing sources and from expected
sources of pollution such as oil shale development and fossil power plants. The
informationobtained from this analysis is an important ingredient of impact assessment,
air quality monitoring, and forecasting pollution potential.
Useful output products will include a device, a technique, and theoretical under-
standing for measuring, with greatly improved cost effectiveness, the concentration
and character of partlculate pollutants.

OBJECTIVE: To develop criteria by which to assess the impact of increased use of
sulfur-rich coals in power plants on the quality of the atmospheric environment, on
nearby clouds and associated weather, and on local radiation budgets.
APPROACH: Measurements will be taken in and around plumes from power plants to deter-
mine the size, shape, and chemical composition of atmospheric pollutants from the plant
especially gaseous and partlculate sulphur and heavy metal compounds. Emphasis will be
on aerosols with cloud modifying properties. Since the gas-to-particle conversion rate
and the size of the sulfuric acid and sulfate particles, hence their environmental
impact, are functions of third-body trace constituents, water vapor mixing ratio, and
ultra-violet irradiation, the field studies must be performed under different climatic
conditions and in the absence and presence of independent pollution sources.
PROGRESS/FLANS: The first field study was conducted near Colstrip, Montana, during a
4-week period in May and June in an area where large powerplant is under construction.
These measurements will provide "clean air" background values for comparison with
future measurements, to be taken periodically after the plant begins operation in late
August, to determine the effects of powerplant effluents. Plume studies at the Four
Corners plant near Fannington, New Mexico, commenced the last week in July. This
1-week pilot study will be followed in October by a more comprehensive 4-week field
study. Future plans include the initiation in December of a 2-week pilot study at the
Kennecott, Utah, copper smelter which has the largest sulphur dioxide output in the
country.

The objective is the analysis of selected air quality measurements, using meteoro-
logical trajectory and removal data, to make predictions of environmental impact
from future energy resource activities. The approach is to establish transport
models from existing air pollutant data plus data to be obtained from a network
of existing and future air quality stations selected on the basis of a survey of
early information. Tracer experiments from selected existing or proposed energy
sources will be used to validate the transport models. Current plans have been
developed in discussions between existing NOAA and EPA personnel at the EPA
Radiological and Environmental Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. These plans call for
collection of existing atmospheric S02 data, mainly from industrial plants, to
identify gaps which need filling. These gaps will be filled by data taken from
aircraft. The augmented data will be analyzed to achieve a more adequate picture
of the air pollution meteorology. Recruitment of a meteorological investigator
to conduct this project is expected shortly.

Objectives
The objective of this project is to transfer remote sensor data acquisition and processing
techniques from NASA to EPA for energy-related overhead monitoring system.
Approach
The project will be conducted in 3 phases with data from selected sites in Western U.S. Of the
total effort expended during the project, approximately 50% will be dedicated to the monitoring of
coal strip mine rehabilitation activities. Monitoring the environmental impact of mine mouth
fossil fuel power plant emissions will account for approximately 30% of the total effort. Rehabili-
tation problems associated with oil shale extraction will comprise about 15-20% of the project
work. Minor effort will include monitoring techniques applicable to geothermal prospects.
Current Hans and Progress
During Phase I (18 months) NASA will generate monitoring information products for EPA evalua-
tion. Work to date includes the collection of multispectral scanner data and initial analysis of
selected coal strip mine sites. Also, a remotely sensed data acquisition system and compatible
data processing system will be assembled by NASA for subsequent EPA use. EPA personnel will
receive training in the operation of system hardware and the use of NASA software and processing
techniques. Phase II (18 months) will include demonstration and transfer of monitoring techniques
developed during Hiase I. The demonstration will consist of a periodic inventory of selected sites
and will approach the operational system to be used by EPA. During Phase III (2 years) EPA will
use the techniques in an operational mode, with NASA providing assistance in the operation of
the system, and in the addition of new capabilities as developed during Phases I and II.

The overall objective of this research is to determine the structure and reactivit,
of adsorbed oxides of sulfur. Several spectroscopic techniques are being used to
follow reactions which occur with S0? on metal oxide surfaces. Results from such a
study will be useful in identifying the photochemical and thermal reactions which take
place on atmospheric aerosols. The specific goals during the current year were
$a) to study the reactivity of S0?- for oxidation and reduction reactions on vanadium
oxide supported on silica gel, (b7 to determine the photoreactions which occur
following the adsorption of S0?, H?0, and 02 on magnesium oxide and (c) to determine
whether sulfur oxides are present on atmospneric aerosols. The first two of these
objectives has been achieved, and the third study is actively in progress.

This work has been planned to elucidate the chemical changes and the primary
reaction mechanisms which occur in the simulated, sunlight-irradiated, polluted
atmospheres. Three distinct areas of our research are aimed at the attainment
of this overall objective: (a) the experimental study of the mechanism of the
photo-oxidation of several common contaminants of the urban atmospheres.
Specifically a variety of kinetic studies will be made using various combinations
of sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, olefin hydro-
carbons, and carbon monoxide, both in oxygen-rich mixtures and together with
other selected reactants picked to test key points in the photo-oxidation
mechanism; (b) the characterization of the reactive intermediates and transients
formed in the irradiated, simulated, polluted atmospheres, and the quantitative
determination of certain rate constants for their seemingly inportant homogeneous
thermal reactions; and (c) the use of these rate constant data, together-with
other published kinetic data and computer techniques, to test possible models
for the chemical changes observed in these systems. The best kinetic models
developed will be employed to simulate the chemical changes which are expected
to occur for conditions encountered in real atmospheres. We will attempt to
extrapolate these models to predict the effects of changes in pollutant
concentrations on the formation of the key products of photochemical smog.

The three main objectives of this study are: 1) establish and document by field
measurements the sulfur budget in large single plumes, 2) identify the major physical
and chemical mechanisms and parameters which govern the sulfur budget, 3) Formulate
and test a dispersion-transformation-removal model for S0« and aerosol. Instrumented
aircraft and surface vehicles will be used for the detailed plume mapping of fixed
distances from the source outward to 100 km. Using wind field data from pilot
balloon measurements, the horizontal sulfur flux will be measured 1n the gas and
aerosol phase. The aerosol mass and sulfur content will be measured by a high resolu-
tion B-guage and vaporization-flame photometric method, respectively. These data
will be utilized to establish the amounts of S02 converted to aerosol and its rate and
the amount of sulfur removed by dry deposition. The data will be used for the Improve
ments and extension of dispersion-transformation-removal models.

This research project 1s aimed at Investigating the usefulness of holographic
methods to detemine size, si.ane, distribution, composition and velocity of
aerosols and particles contributing to pollution. These studies
fundamental scattering theory relating to resolution, methods for
short wavelength coherent Hoht, study of recording materials, and netlicds for
automatic analysis of the hologram Image.
The first year of this program will be devoted to a detailed theoretical and
experimental investigation into the fundamental limits of holography. We will
attercpt to remove all factors contributing to the deterioration of resolution
including optics, recording materials and reconstruction procedures. Vihan a
satisfactory system has been developed, we will evaluate it at various wave-
lengths.
Although v,e cannot expect to resolve particles snailer than one wavelength, we
can still record and inago then as points to obtain distribution and density.
There 1s no fundamental limitation on the sr-iallness of particles that can be
recorded. There is, however, the practical-Unit of signal-to-noisa ratio;
very s£>.11 particles scatter very little light, '.'a will make sona rough cal-
culations of this limit based on film noise and attempt to verify thase
exparinen tally.

Aerosol size distributions are being measured in St. Louis as part of the RAP's
program from both ground based and aircraft mobile laboratories. These measurements
are being made in conjunction with a complete array of chemical, physical and meteoro-
logical measurements. In conjunction with other collaborators of the team, new models
for the conversion and transport of sulfate aerosols are being developed.
Also, experiments on the generation of sulfate aerosols, SOp, NO , HC, and
hetrogeneous aerosols are being conducted in a laboratory smog cnamber.
In addition to providing a new data base for sulfur conversion, these experiments
have already provided a new understanding of the fate of sulfur in urban and power
plant plumes. Also, a new trlmodal model for atmospheric aerosol size distributions
has been developed.
Improvements in the already developed automatic aerosols size distribution
measuring system will be made. A new automatic aircraft aerosol sampler for micro-
scopy is being developed.
Extensive efforts are also being made to develop procedures for handling large
quantities of ml Invariable air pollution data using a special laboratory computer
system.

Grant No. 802132
The transport of heavy metals in aerosols will be investigated in the St. Louis,
Missouri area by means of sample collection on filters and in cascade impactors,
chemical analysis by sensitive nuclear methods of neutron activation and x-ray
fluorescence, and correlation with sample location, particle size distribution, time
variation during changing meteorological condition, proximity to major sources,
altitude of sampling, and the occurrence of rain and fog. The relative importance
of natural terrestrial and marine sources and urban or industrial pollution sources
will be compared for each element, as well as the effect of source processes on
particle size distribution. The study should lead to impooving our prediction capa-
bility for the distance of transport of different elements and its dependence on
particle size and meteorological factors and a determination of the extent of impact
of pollution sources on air quality at distances remote from the sources. Moreover,
the data obtained will aid in the setting of air quality standards by better evalua-
tion of natural vs. pollution sources and by documenting the concentrations of trace
metals as a function of particle size, information which may be related to aerosol
respirability and impact on human health, and which may be linked to the types of
processes occurring at pollution sources.

1. Objectives
the goal of this research is to develop experimental and theoretical methods for
relating the1 properties of the pollution aerosol to the characteristics of emission
sources.
2. Approach
This will be accomplished by starting from the observed chemical and physical
characteristics of the pollution aerosol and testing certain hypotheses for the
atmospheric changes which occur in the size distribution and chemical composition.
3. Progress and Plans
Chief among the atmospheric changes are the growth processes resulting from gas-
to-particle conversion of organic vapors, S02 and N0«. By laboratory experiments
with atmospheric air samples, data are being obtainea on particle growth rates
as a function of particle size. At the same time gas-to-pprticle conversion rates
are being measured by chemical analysis. It is also proposed to initiate a
separate set of studies on the deposition of aerosols in models of the human lung.
The goal will be to estimate the rate of deposition of various chemical species
present in the pollution aerosol at points of high deposition intensity.

(1) Objective:
(2) Approach:
(3) Progress:
The hydrocarbon and halocarbon budgets of the St. Louis urban plume
are not known. The hydrocarbon transport and format!on/decay rates
are related to aerosol production in the urban plume. The halo-
carbons serve as a conservative tracer, indicating the path of the
plume and its dispersion. Measurements of the concentrations of
these pollutants are needed aloft and at ground level as a function
of distance of the urban plume from St. Louis.
Washington State University will provide quantitative analysis of
C2-C12 hydrocarbons and F-ll through CC14 halocarbons of samples taken
aloft and tt ground level in the St. Louis urban plume. These
measurements will be used to obtain the fluxes, budgets, and
formation/decay rates of hydrocarbon gases.
The Washington State Mobile Lab is located adjacent to the EPA
Mobile Lab 100 km north of St. Louis. Sampling and analyses began
July 15 and will continue through August 15.

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.
The major objective of this research program is to provide laboratory data on
selected chemical pollutants that can be extrapolated to provide an assessment of the
fates of these pollutants in freshwater aquatic ecosystems.
Laboratory experiments will be carried out to determine the relative rates of
three general fates: biological degradation, chemical/photochemical degradation
(primarily hydrolysis or oxidation), and physical transport processes (volatilization
or sorbtion onto sediments). Screening studies will be designed to evaluate the
relative rates of these loss processes. Detailed studies to provide better extimates
of the rates and to determine the degradation products will be carried out only on the
faster processes. A simple systems analysis approach will be used to integrate the
laboratory data and to assess the overall fate (s) of the pollutant. The result will
be a report for each pollutant studied that will contain a summary of the current
literature, the experimental data, and an assessment of the environmental fate of
the pollutant based on all the available data.

Develop a method of predicting potential ground-water degradation
in strip coal mining on the basis of the mineralogy of the overburden.
The mineralogy of overburden coal samples will be determined and compared
with the mineralogy of similar material that has undergone extensive
chemical weathering in old spoil piles. The ground-water quantity and
quality will be determined up-gradient and down-gradient from the over-
burden. The ground-water degradation that has resulted from leaching
through the old spoils will also be determined quantitatively and quali-
tatively. This field-oriented cause and effect approach will help to
establish the relationship between the mineralogy of overburden and
potential ground-water degradation.

This one-year project is intended to determine the persistence of compounds
formed by chlorination of power plant effluents upon mixing in sea water. Primary
emphasis will be on power plants in the San Francisco area using high doses of
chlorine for anti-foul ing purposes. Primary attention will be given to free
residual chlorine and combined residual chlorine, as these are the parameters used
in specifying water quality criteria. If it can be determined that persistence of
these materials is of a short duration and not directly related to water quality
management problems, then attention will be directed to, possibly, hydrocarbon
materials which heretofore have not been identified as a particularly serious
problem in power plant discharges. However, it is known that these compounds can
be particularly undesirable in the marine ecosystem, and an attempt will be made
to determine their persistence in sea water.

The grant seeks to identify the chlorine-containing organic compounds that are
formed when chlorine is added to seawater. Initial emphasis would be on reaction
conditions that occur during power plant operations; i.e., up to 2 hours at temperatures
up to 38C with and without sunlight. Chlorine-36 would be used so that reaction pro-
ducts could be assayed with liquid scintillation counting. Total organic chlorine
compounds yield would be measured. The reaction products would be fractionated, using
selective solubility and thin layer chromatography. The fractions would be bioassayed
with Acartia tonsa and the most toxic fractions taken for initial work. Characterization
would be primarily with gas chromatographic-mass spectral techniques and additional
characterization would be based on UV and IR spectra with NMR for special cases.

i Amounts of chlorine presently used in the drainage basin of Chesapeake Bay, and
probably also some other large estuaries, could be large enough to sterilize the Bay
Lf this chlorine were not degraded. A review of degradation processes 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 biomagnifi-
cation. Arguments are given to indicate that organic compounds produced by chlorination
of estuarine and marine waters may differ fundamentally from those produced by chlorina-
tion of river water and sewage in that bromine derivatives may predominate over chlorine
derivatives in the marine waters.
A research grant 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 minimized by regulation of chlorinating
procedures and cooling water quality.

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, americium-241 and cesium-137); and petroleum hydrocarbons
(to include measures of the concentrations of alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics,
including 2, 3, 4 and 5 ring polynuclear condensed species).
The program will include sites off the east, west and Gulf coasts of the U. S. as
well as off Alaska, Guam and Samoa. One hundred samples will be taken during the
first year of the project and analyzed in 8 laboratories, two for each set of
pollutants.
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 commun-
ities 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.

Widely scattered studied have been initiated by other investigators to determine
the influences of various perturbations on tundra soil and vegetation. However, little
attention has been directed toward the effects of oil perturbation on: The microorganisms
in the soil; the large root biomass below ground; the rate of oil degradation in soil;
and the soil complexes as altered environments which result as oil and soil mix.
The objectives of the study are:
1. To continue sampling already existing oil treated plots at Barros, Alaska to
detect long term effects of oil perturbations.
2. To initiate new oil treatment plots in several locations.
3. To isolate and culture species of bacteria and fungi from treatment areas to
discern species diversity with time.
4. To determine current microbial population levels and recolonization rates.

6. To determine effects of oil perturbation on microbial respiration, metabolism,
and on plant root growth.
Dr. R.M. Atlas will examine: The fractionation of oil in the soil as fractions result
from evaporation, antioxidation and biodegradation; and the changes in species diversity
and biomass of bacteria and yeasts.

SUMMARY "OF PROPOSE!) WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans 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.
Structural responses of aquatic communities to pollutional stresses have
historically been the principal methods by which biological assessment of environmental
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 developing and evaluating
techniques for measurement of those processes and determining their suitability for
pollutional stress assessment. A secondary objective of the work will be an attempt
to relate data generated by examining functional aspects of communities with standard
community structure measurements.
The general areas to be examined in the project include the following: I/carbon,
nitrogen and sulfur cycling in autotrophic and heterotrophic communities; 2/relationship
of protozoan invasion and extinction rates to the eutrophication process; 3/behavioral
responses of zooplankton subjected to cooling water entrainment; and 4/process of detritv
utilization by macroinvertebrates.

This project will initiate and carry out primarily experimental work which
relates to stability properties of freshwater ecosystems. It is part of a
research program on ecosystem dynamics and stability properties at LBL whose
long range goals are: first, to determine what kinds of perturbations can most
dramatically disrupt ecosystems, and secondly, to determine what combinations of
ecosystem parameters are reliable indicators capable of predicting whether an
ecosystem will collapse or significantly change when perturbed.)
Our previous theoretical work suggests that understanding the detritus-
decomposer link in nutrient cycles is a key to understanding an ecosystem's
stability properties. To further pursue this work:
(1) We will set up several.aquaria with a limited number of organisms in
them. These aquaria would not be completely closed systems, but would have an
inflow and outflow of water, varying levels of nutrient supplement and aeration,
and some filtering.
(2) We will do taxonomic and mass determinations of the organisms, inorganic
nutrients, and organic litter in our systems.
(3) After we gain some competence with culturing and monitoring our systems,
we want to begin work on developing techniques for measuring in-situ decomposer
properties.
(4) Once we are familiar with our systems, we will moderately perturb them
by a thermal, pH, or toxic substance stress and observe how they recoil. We
will attempt to correlate observed stability properties with measured values of
the stability indicators suggested by our theoretical work.

The research plan involves study of those aspects of arctic limnology which are
likely to be affected by road construction. These include the various effects of
increased turbidity, such a reduction of phytoplankton and benthic productivity,
reduction in food quality assimilated by filter-feeding zooplankton, impairment of the
ability of visual feeding fish to find and capture zooplankton, changes in zooplankton
and phytoplankton population structure, effects of microbial populations, effects on
littoral macrophyte populations and effects of benthic invertebrate populations . Physical
effects may include the composition of seston, alteration in runoff and water turnover,
changes in light penetration. In addition, the effects on chemical composition and
cycles will be studied, as well as the effects on thermal regimens and overall geochem-
ical budget. This program will be canied out in close coordination with the NSF-funded
RATE project which is aimed at studying the basic limnology of arctic waters from an
ecosystem approach.
This is a new project, and there are no results to date.

The work to be carried out has the central aim of providing information needed to
assess sediment impact on freshwater ecosystems in the Arctic. We propose to study
sediment distribution and related limnological parameters in Lakes Peters and Schrader,
using these lakes as laboratory to evaluate the potential of aerial photography in
rapidly determining sediment load at the same time as evaluating the role of the
variable sediment load distribution within the lake system. If the serial methodology
is successful, we will survey additional lakes in fvture years to assess the impact
of road construction on awtic lake systems. Limnological parameters to be included
in the study r are sediment load, trans mi ssivity, water temperature profiles, light
penetration, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, trace metals, pH, alkalinity, plant pigment
distribution and primary productivity.
This is a new project and no results are available to date. The initial field trip is
scheduled for July 28-August 8.

This research program is designed to provide data for establishing water quality criter-i
for the protection of freshwater resources and ecosystems and evaluate ways to tnlninlze j
the effects of pollutants arising from coal utilization. Ti.e proposed proqraM will i
concentrate on the liroedlate effects on aquatic organisms of thermal and chemical I
effluents reaching freshwater systems via releases to the atnosphere, surface waters anu
ground waters due to fossil fuel combustion and utilization. Specifically, this task i
will de,7ionstrate the irradiate effects of effluents fror.i the new techno I ogles, gasifi- j
cation and liquefaction on the behavior and physiology of selected ecologically and j
economically Important freshwater organisms. These shall include such toxicants as !
heavy nietals released through gasification and the mixed effluents arising from j
liquefaction characterized by such toxicants as phenols. i
Selected organises fron various trophic levels of the freshwater ecosystems will be i
studied* using proven Methods for behavioral and physiological research. Behavioral i
studies employing such parameters as cough and avoidance-attraction responses and i
predator-prey interactions will be conducted utilizing artificial stream channels and j
laboratory tanks as observation chambers and closed circuit television and polygraph '
instrumentation for recording observations and electrographic information. Behavioral i
responses have been well documented as neans by which the effects of low level pol-
lution can be monitored. Physiological parair-eters proposed for study include respiro- i
wetry, osmolarity, blood chemistry (specifically blood glucose and lactic acid), i
mucous precipitation and gill erosion. These tissues are intimate with the physical I
environment of aquatic oroanisras and the tissue reactions reflect pollutant toxldty •
within short periods of tins after the initial insult. j
Additionally, effects on critically sensitive transitional stages of life histories !
(e.g., ecdysis of crustaceans, buttoning up of fish) of selected organisms will be
studied as Indices of physio-ecological stress.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objective!, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plan, and/or Progress (200 word* or leu. Omit confidential data).
In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work In progress are exchanged with government and private agencies sup-
portlng research and are forwarded to Investigators who request such Information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
Currently, the United States produces approximately 22 million tons of fly ash
annually, this quantity is expected to approach 100 million tons by the year 2000.
Common disposal practice for this material involves contact with the ground—either by
landfilling or ponding—and possible contamination of sub-surface (and perhaps surface)
water supplies by leachate products. Of particular concern are the heavy metal
contents of many fly ashes which often reach several times natural crustal abundances.
Research has demonstrated that arsenic, cadmium, and mercury levels in fly ash
consistently exceed 5 times crustal abundance (sometimes reaching as high as 100 times)
and many other metals, notably copper, zinc, lead, and chromium are often found at
high levels.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED RESEARCH:
The objectives of the proposed research are to measure and evaluate the impact of
heavy metal leachates from fly ash disposal on aquatic resources. Important
considerations are the extent to which and the form (chemical) in which the metals
leave the fly ash. A further objective is to determine relative distances the metals
travel in different soil environments.
Data which is gathered will be of use in the evaluation of various pollution control
measures to reduce or control Jthe level of leachates which reach the aqueous
environment. Specifically, a three part approach to the investigation is proposed.

laboratory experiments, the type of data gathered in this phase of the investigate .:hould
be of immediate use to local and state health agencies regarding the proper location
of wells for domestic and industrial usage. Thirdly, the data gathered in stages one
and two will be analyzed and used to evaluate an already existing mathematical model
to describe attenuation of trace metals in sub-surface aqueous environments. Such
a model should be of use to design engineers faced with the sighting and design
of coal burning facilities and their associated fly ash disposal sites.

The overall objective of this research effort is to provide dose-response data which
will permit rapid assessment of the potential dangers to vegetation resulting from
release of gaseous coal conversion effluents to the atmosphere. This information will
be provided by conducting fumigation experiments in the laboratory initially using a
single species, kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), which will be exposed to a pollutant
mix collected from the effluent stream of ORNL's coal conversion pilot plant. Specific
objectives of the research effort are four-fold: l) to develop a controlled system
for exposure of plants to the potentially hazardous gaseous effluents of coal lique-
faction; the complexity of the effluent mixture makes achievement of this objective a
crucial first step. This phase of the work is on schedule. 2) to obtain, through
close cooperation with Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Technology Divisions, the
best practicable chemical characterization of the effluent mix collected and used in
our effects studies. This phase of the work is on schedule. Should results warrant
more detailed investigations, research will focus on identifying potentially phytotoxic
subtractions of the total effluent mix. 3) to identify the potential of bulk effluents
from a coal liquefaction facility for causing acute injury to vegetation using
Phaseolus vulgaris as a test organism, to assess the resultant effects on primary pro-
ductivity, and to define the limits of tolerance for those adverse effects measured.
4) to identify the potential for chronic effects of long-term low-level exposure of
vegetation to persistant effluent components and reaction products; to determine
thresholds for sub-acute effects on productivity. Subsequent experiments will attempt
to elucidate the relative toxicities of the principal component gases and the potential
long-range dangers associated with chronic exposures to the complete effluent mixture.

Objectives: Determination of acute toxicities of coal liquefaction effluents and
effluent fractions, and preliminary elucidation of bioaccumulation potential of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) by aquatic organisms. Initial goal is data
accumulation to enable assessment of long-term research priorities in environmental
transport and effects of coal liquefaction wastewater effluents.
Approach: Daphnia magna (an aquatic zooplankter) and Carassius auratus (goldfish) will
be incubated with coal liquefaction wastewater samples in static bioassays; LCcn
dilution factors will be utilized as toxicity indices. Effluent fractions obtained
by solvent extraction and specific compounds identified in effluents will be tested
for determination of components contributing significantly to effluent toxicity.
Simultaneously, a '4C-labelled model PAH compound will be incubated with Daphnia
magna cultures; uptake and bioaccumulation will be determined by liquid
scintillation counting.
Current Progress: Initial data has been obtained confirming high toxicity of several
effluent components to Daphnia magna. Preliminary work with '^C-anthracene, a
model PAH compound, has indicated rapid uptake and b1©accumulative potential
within several aquatic invertebrates.

The overall object of this research task is to quantify the biogeochemical cycling of i
select trace elements potentially released to aquatic ecosystems by coal conversion
technology. The initial objective is to identify through a review of available
literature a set of trace elements present in coal conversion effluents that are
potentially toxic to aquatic biota or cycled through aquatic food webs to the point
where consumption of aquatic resources may pose a threat to human health. To
complement the literature effort, microcosm experiments will be initiated where actual
coal conversion aqueous effluents will be added to microcosms and the accumulation
and distribution of select trace elements monitored in water, sediments, macrophytes,
invertebrates and fish. This microcosm research effort should identify which trace
elements in process effluents are available for accumulation by aquatic biota and
suggest more detailed research on uptake kinetics, biological turnover, and factors
affecting distribution-and accumulation in aquatic systems. Aqueous effluents from
existing coal conversion pilot plants will be analyzed for trace element composition
and concentration. Trace elements identified will provide the focus of trie literature
review. For elements where substantial information is available a preliminary
assessment of potential adverse impacts of aqueous releases will be made. Elements will
be identified for which little information is available or where significant gaps
exist in our understanding of environmental behavior, distribution or toxicity.
Aquatic microcosms will be established with appropriate controls, and single spike
of actual aqueous effluents from at least two conversion processes will be added to
replicated microcosms. The system components will be analyzed for trace elements and
compared with initial and control concentrations to determine distribution and
bioaccumulation.

The objectives of this project are to (1) formulate a long-term policy of rehabilita-
tion of strip-mine tailings; (2) define meteorological influence on the source of
airborne contaminants from coal-fired power plants; (3) assess the effects of localized
and widespread deposition of contaminants upon the ecosystems of the "air shed" sur-
rounding the Four Corners region; and (4) integrate several disciplines in a systems
approach to a sensitive environment in such a way as to mitigate the extraction,
utilization, and export of resources from a region that holds abiding interest for the
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and the people of the region. Long-term considera-
tions are necessary, particularly from the standpoint of rehabilitating the extensive
area to be strip-mined and impacted by atmospheric transport of materials, the sens!-,
tive nature of the ecosystems and agricultural lands involved, and the appreciable
demands upon the water resources in an area of 20-cm annual precipitation. These
constraints upon management policies will foreclose many options and require careful
selection of priorities in resource management. The results of this research will
provide a meaningful basis for integrating the management of several resources (i.e.,
water, air, soil, agriculture, wildlife, and recreation facilities) in addition to the
coal that is often viewed as the sole resource of the region.

The objectives of this project are to 1) determine present amounts of trace
elements in various compartments of the desert environment surrounding Southern
California Edison's Mohave Generating Station in southern Nevada, 2) to determine
the mass balance of trace elements in this environment, including inputs from
the generating station, 3) to estimate transfer rates between environmental
compartments and how such rates are influenced by physicochemical and biological
factors, and 4) to develop a model expressing the above relationships and
capable of yielding long-term (30-35 year) predictions of trace element concen-
trations in the desert system. Trace elements of particular interest are
cadmium, zinc, lead, nickel, boron, copper and arsenic. Amounts of elements
in plant and animal tissues will be determined by emission spectroscopy and
atomic absorption. Total inventories will be estimated from standing crops
of plants (based on dimension analysis) and population estimates of important
consumers. Trace elements in various soil horizons will be determined by
atomic absorption. The most important processes influencing movements of trace
elements in a desert ecosystem are considered to be 1) surface redistribution
by wind and water, 2) leaching, 3) root uptake and translocations, 4) consumption
of leaves and soil, and 5) decay. Tracer experiments will be used to evaluate
some of these rates.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the characteristics and impact of efflu-
ents from the initial Colstrip generating unit. Preoperational levels of a wide spec-
trum of trace elements and gases will be determined in the atmosphere and environment.
In the post-operational period we will determine the chemical and physical properties
of pollutants in the effluent, the changes in chemical composition during atmospheric
transport, and the accumulation of pollutants in soils and vegetation at locations
selected from present air models. Major emphasis will be placed on the measurement of
pollutants listed as high priority by the EPA: Hg, As, Sb, Se, Zn, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cd, U,
Sn and Cr, together with F and S02 which are especially phytotoxid .
A mass balance of approximately 30 elements will be established at Colstrip generator
#1 to determine the distribution of the incoming coal elements which appear in ash,
precipitators, scrubbers and effluent.
Extensive sampling and analysis of the ecosystem will correlate data from air samplinc
sites, vegetative sites, and endogenous animal species. Multielement analysis Is de-
signed to disclose the appearance of polluting elements and their food chain dynamics.
Small watershed studies are designed to note the appearance of polluting elements,
their rate of movement in the system and impacts on biota and water quality. Labora-
tory studies are designed to quantify turnover rates of key elemental pollutants in a
grazing herbivore model.

The program will survey the marine conn-unities at three sites to: (1) augment the data
bass that now exists for the Cherry Point-Anacortes region on the effects of refinery
wastes, (2) provide baseline data for the Port Angeles reqion, and {3) develop'baselina
data for a region that fs similar to the above areas but is not likely to receive
refinery v/astes, products or crude oil contamination.
The Initial effort will be to analyze the existing data base to: (1) determine the
Information available from existing data, and (2) design a sampling prooran that will
provide the information needed to complement and strengthen the existing data.
To facilitate storage, retrieval and data analysis, all data will be placed in
computer storage. 1-Jhere applicable, historical data will be added to the comauter
stored data bank. -f •
An Integral part of the field sampling will be the collection of organisms, sediment
and watar for contaminant analysis. These samples will be analyzed by now accepted

Objectives; To determine the amounts and types of hydrocarbon pollutants 1n the air,
water, scdinents and various biolonical components of a tropical coastal ecosystem ad-
jacent to the refinery-petrochemical complex at Guayanilla, P.R. To evaluate possible
path-days for thase hyarocaroons througn the ecosystem, Identify components wnich ef-
fectively store or degrade nydrocaroons and evaluate effect of hydrocarbons on local
conmerdal seafood. Finally, to develop and test a model of hydrocarbon transport
applicable to tropical coasts to help predict impact of a refinery en an unpolluted
coast.
Approach; A systematic sampling and analysis of air, water, sediments at potential sites
of 1mput 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 wat and dry seasons. Hydrocarbon analyses on plankton, algae,
benthic organisms, fish (two or rare feeding types) and Mangrove leaves and roots.
Mangroves nay be a major pool and pathway since the trees and associated organisms are
in contact with air, water and sedinents, 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 nydrocarbon extraction and deteralnation cietnods. Atteir.pt to identify
major hydrocarbon components using mass-spectrograph. Start sampling and analysis of
air and biological components of ecosystem.

The progran two tasks designed to assess potential effects of long-term exposure to
petroleum-derived hydrocarbons on selected communities from coastal ecosystems. The
tasks cxaroine: (1) laboratory response of populations and benthic communities to con-
centrations of single hydrocarbon conpounds and aqueous phase petroleum; and (2) in sit.
response of coastal conwunltles to sediment-bound petroleum.
Laboratory studies will measure effects of single conpounds and soluble fractions of
crude and refined petroleum on the life history of ficononiically and ecologically
Important populations. Laboratory populations will be reared through or.e'or nore genera 4
tlons while exposed to hydrocarbon contaminant and compared to control groups for a row til i
rate, maturation tine, fecundity, and morphological change In Individuals. Studies will i
be at anblent and controlled temperature. Accumulation, site deposition, and purge
rates for hydrocarbons will be integrated with life table Information.
studies will examine biological availability and effects of petroleum hydro-
carbons fron contaminated sediments. Effects of continuous exposure to low levels of
petroleum hydrocarbons frc;n sed .rents, either via direct contact, or, through sedi-
ment-contaminated water will be investigated by -measuring oil in the sediments and
compositional changes of established and recruited infauna populations. Hydrocarbon
uptake by the fauna will be simultaneously investigated.

The primary objective of this project is to determine the chemical interactions of
constituents 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 capability for predicting the concentrations of all major constituents
of such emissions at various locations downwind. Instruments are carried by an
aircraft tp measure the fluxes of the constituents through the plume at a number
of distances downwind. Pertinent meteorological parameters, such as temperature
and humidity, vertical temperature profiles, wind speed and direction, and solar
radlatlon,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 occuring 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 is placed on obtaining rates of
oxidation of SO,.

The sulfur oxide/sulfate issue requires research and collection of a scientific data
base to delineate effects of large power plant emissions on remote receptors and
regions. This will require the investigation of mechanisms affecting and characteristic
of long-range transport of emissions. A long-range transport model describing the
conservation balance of S02/sulfate complex will be developed and applied to a meso-
scale region ("1000 kM) centered over the Tennessee Valley Watershed. Among factors
to be considered in this balance are advection by the wind field, diffusion by
atmospheric turbulence, source/skin mechanisms and chemical transformation. An
emission inventory along with meteorological and monitoring data will be obtained,
analyzed, and compared with model predictions. This will yield a preliminary
assessment of model validity, importance of various processes, relative Importance
of TVA coal-fired power plant emissions, and insight as to the significance of the
overall problem. During a later phase of the program refined input and comparison
data will be collected in a full-scale field study. This data will be used In a
more quantitative verification of model predictions. This research project Is new.
The preliminary project design has been completed and staffing is in progress.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such Information. Your summary is to be used lor these purposes.
Objective; Evaluation and improvement of models used for radiological impact assessment
of gaseous releases from nuclear power plants.
Approach; Direct radiation levels will be measured around an operating nuclear power
reactor. Pressurized ionization chambers will be utilized for this purpose. Parametric
analyses will be performed in conjunction with literature searches in an effort to
improve the dispersion and transfer coefficient portions of the model.
Current Plans; External radiation exposure levels in the vicinity of the Browns Ferry
Nuclear Plant will be measured, and the results will be utilized in the development of
accurate computer codes for calculating doses. Pressurized ionization chambers will be
used for the measurements. These systems will detect gamma radiation from radioactivity
in gaseous effluents and from radioactivity within the nuclear plant components. Develo
ment of computer codes will be required to calculate the two components of the gamma
radiation exposures.
Dispersion studies will involve a thorough search of the literature to gather informa-
tion bearing on the parameters in the effluent dispersion model. Discussions have been
held with Atomic Industrial Forum personnel regarding effluent dispersion experiments
which are being considered for several operating nuclear power plants. A few studies
of this type have been completed and the data are available for verification of the
dispersion computer codes. Work is currently underway to make comparative analyses of
the dispersion code results with various data and also with various parametric changes.
A similar approach is planned for the transfer coefficient portion of the model.

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.

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 ecosystem. The results of
this research will be immediately applicable to decisions on the location 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 of risk from the instantaneous release of
a large volume of oil. Second priority will be given to the ecological factors
of risk from the chronic effects associated with transport, transfer, and
processing of oil and oil products. Output products will include: (1)
description of existing ecological and environmental conditions, (2) the
nature and variability of possible 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.

Seasonal samplings of phytoplankton, zooplankton and neuston will be made in a
number of areas within Puget Sound and off the west coast of Washington State. The
samples will be subjected to solvent extraction to remove hydrocarbons which will
then be identified by gas chromatography and/or mass spectrometry. Selected fractions
will be counted to establish the 14C levels and the 13c/12C ratio will also be determined
The purpose of these measurements is to establish the natural distribution of hydro-
carbons in local marine organisms and to determine the extent to which they may
be contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons from oil spills. Some of the regions to be
sampled are in comparatively remote areas which are unlikely to receive significant
oil pollution while other samples will come from areas near petroleum refineries or
along shipping lanes where oil spills are known to occur. In addition to sampling
of organisms, cores of sediment will be collected and analysed in a similar manner.
After dating the sediment by the lead-210 method to determine sedimentation rate, it
is expected that it will be possible to reconstruct the past history of oil pollution
in polluted areas through the record revealed by the sediments.
The project has Just begun. The first suite of samples has been collected but there
are no measurements to report.

This project will provide a description of changes in a marine environment
related to oil exploration and production, a description of existing environ-
mental conditions, a predictive model for oil spill trajectory and ecosystem
models for use in predicting probable Impact of oil development and extrac-
tions on marine ecosystems of varying characteristics and complexity.
Both historical and new environmental survey data will be used to describe
the biological, chemical and physical characteristics In the environments
of an active oil field and of a nearby undisturbed area. Surveys conducted
in both the oil field and undisturbed area will describe the hydrography,
water quality parameters, sediments, pollutants and the abundance, distri-
bution, diversity and habitat of major planktonic, benthlc and pelagic
communities. Investigations will determine the quantities and rate of
movement of pollutants through components of the ecosystem and attempt to
identify effects. A separate survey will define the effects of structures
themselves on the local ecosystem including community composition and
aggregation of species.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or lets. OmU 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.
The objective of the proposed investigation is to provide sufficient data on the
potential toxic effects arising from exposure to airborne effluents from coal
combustion. Since coal from the Western parts of the country will undoubtedly be
used in increasing amounts in the future, it would be prudent to evaluate the
potential hazards of emissions from Western vs Eastern coal. Only limited data
is presently available concerning the toxicological effects of coal fly ash and
none is available from Western coal sources.
Fly ash samples will be collected directly from the effluent of a power generating
plant, downstream from an electrostatic precipitator. Two sources, one burning
Western coal and one burning Eastern coal, will be utilized. The ash samples will
be analyzed for trace elements as well as major components.
Two types of studies will be conducted. The first will be acute (1-7 days' duration)
to establish lethal concentrations. The second will be chronic (6-11) months.
Concentrations of fly ash aerosols will range from just below lethal levels down
to that found under ambient conditions in the immediate vicinity of the generating
plant.
At least 3 species of animals will be tested. Measurements will include survival,
growth, pathology, blood analysis including acid-base measurements, hematology, and
pertinent blood chemistry and enzyme determinations, tissue analysis for trace
metals and a variety of pulmonary function tests.
Present plans are to award the contract during late 1975 and begin work by January
1976.

The overall objective of this study is to isolate and characterize metal-binding
agents from mobile and stationary exhaust emissions and to assess the biological
damage which may be caused by the interaction of these agents with essential metals
metabolism. This research is based on the hypothesis that some of the adverse health
effects linked by epidemiological studies to air pollution may be due to the impair-
ment of essential metals metabolism by ubiquitous metal-binding chemicals, toxic
metals and their chelates. Alteration in the absorption, transportation, storage
and functions of the biologically essential metals may contribute to the development
of several chronic diseases such as emphysema, hypertension, and cardiovascular and
atherosclerotic diseases. The isolation and characterization of the metal-binding
components along with the assessment of damage in enzyme systems, cell cultures and
organism due to the exposure to these agents may furnish a valuable tool in the
comparative evaluation of various types of emission. We have already established the
presence of agents which bind transition metals in the automobile emissions along
with their presence in other pyrolytic products. A model copper-binding drug has
been found to alter cholesterol metabolism in rats. Dietary copper prevented
cardiovascular lesions in rats under controlled nutritional protection will be
emphasized.

In screening for mutagem'c agents it is important to include mammalian tests for
gene mutations. In this project, identification of mutagens associated with coal and
oil shale technologies that can induce gene mutations and small deficiencies will be
accomplished by scoring for (a) transmitted specific-locus mutations induced in germ
cells and (b) somatic mutations in coat color genes.
The specific-locus method developed by us has been employed extensively in radiation
work and has already proved its usefulness in chemical mutagenesis studies. It is the
only established, reliable and definitive test for transmitted gene mutations and
small deficiencies currently available in mammals.
In order to make the method economically efficient for screening purposes, it will be
used to test whether there is anything mutagenic in a whole mixture of compounds, for
example, in an effluent. Since it is the mutagenic risk in the spermatogonial stem
cells that is of prime interest in the male, and since these cells exist through the
whole reproductive life of the animal, it is possible to give, over an extended period
fractionated doses of a compound, or a mixture of compounds, in order to build up the
mutation frequency to an economically detectable level, even for a weak mutagen. The
same can be done in the female to build up the mutation frequency in the resting
oocytes which persist from birth until shortly before ovulation.
A method to detect the induction of somatic gene mutations (or small deficiencies) was
developed by us and has proved practical in a radiation experiment. The effects of
100 R X-rays were easily detectable with only small numbers of animals. Matings be-
tween appropriate stocks produce embryos heterozygous for several coat-color markers.

A technique to culture rabbit endoroetrial cells in chemically defined medium has
been developed. Diethylstilbestrol was found to promote cell division, while proges-
terone had an opposite effect.
We propose here to study "in vitro" the effect of both hormones upon a) the cyto-
toxicity of chemical carcinogens and b) the chemical carcinogens of endometrlal cells
in culture. It is expected that the study of chemical carclnogenesis and the hormones -
carcinogens interaction will help to further the understanding of I) The mechanism of
chemical carcinogenesis and its modification by well defined substances and II) the
etiopathogenesis of endometrlal adenocarcinoma in particular and hormone-related neo-
plasia In general.
Preparation of cultures; Primary cultures derived from the uteri of 6-8 months
aid New Zealand virgin rabbits will be grown in a modified Ham's P-12 medium in an
atmosphere of 5% C02 and air at 37° C in plastic petri dishes (Falcon Plastics, Inc.).
tn summary, the technique used to isolate endometrial cells consists in everting the
isolated uterine horns, to tie both extremes and Incubate the horns in a solution of
collagenase, hyalurondldase and trypsin. After serial Incubations in the dissociating
solutions, only endometrial cells are obtained. The cells are then plated in a chem-
ically defined medium in plastic dishes and incubated at 37° C. Autoradiographlc
studies using %-thymidine have shown that the cells divide actively in this medium
during the first week of culture. The rate of cell division decreased dramatically
afterwards.
Cytoxicity studies; The inhibitory effect of several carcinogenic polycyclic
hydrocarbons on UNA synthesis and the effect of several steroid hormones upon this
Inhibition will be studied.

A study has begun on three polycyclic hydrocarbon compounds for chromosomal
aberration effects 1n 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 melotic male germ cells. This will be done on matlngs within
one week after the last day of treatment of males given repeated doses.
(c) Dominant-lethal study on early melotic spermatocytes and differentiating
gonia. In this study males treated with a single acute dose will b.e
mated during 30 to 42 days after treatment.
(d) Dominant-lethal and total reproductive capacity studies on dictyate
oocytes of females that received single acute dose.
(e) If dominant-lethal effects are Induced 1n treated females, an X-chromosome
loss study will be performed to determine whether the effect 1s 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 DNA synthesis prior to cleavage.

To develop rapid, sensitive, and economical systems for the in vitro and
cytological 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 q.uantitate 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 fractionated samples of effluents.

it 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. To 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
sxperience with drugs which act as carcinogens and teratogens has convinced us that
jhanges in population cell-cycle distribution and alterations in chromatin structure
nay provide useful early indicators of sublethal damage to cells exposed to hazardous
igents. We propose to examine alterations in these parameters following exposure to
specific energy-related toxic substances In currently available tissue-culture systems
rtiich show promise as a predictive indicator of response of human populations. A
:echnique has been developed that allows preparation of both cycling and noncycling
:ell populations in tissue culture, mimicking these classes of somatic cells in humans.
Jy combining autoradiography, cell number enumeration, and flow microfluorometry, it
rill be possible to obtain highly detailed information regarding the cellular kinetic
response of both arrested and cycling populations to treatment with toxic agents.

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 IB to be used for these purposes.
We propose the study of the pathological effect(s) of several energy-related
agents upon established mammalian cell lines, which retain organ-specific functions in
culture. These differentiated "in vitro" models may provide with rapid, simple and
reliable systems for a) screening of technology conditions and products to establish the
presence of substances exhibiting adverse biological effects; and b) trying the modifi-
cation of these toxic products effects by well defined substances such as hormones,
enzymes, inhibitors, etc.
We are planning, in this first part of the proposed research, to probe the effects
only of some pollutants, which have been shown to have well defined toxic effects on
human health. However, we are planning to test subsequently other hazardous chemicals
of known or unknown effects, according to the dictates of the public health concern.
Chemicals to be used: Lead Nitrate; 7,12-Dlmethylbenz(a)anthracene(DMBA);
3-Methylcholanthrene(MCA); Benzo(d)pyrene(BZP). Controls to be used: Sodium Nitrate
(Control for lead nitrate); Benzo(a)anthracene(Control for chemical carcinogens).
The effect of these chemicals on general macromolecular synthesis will also be
determined by measuring labeled amino acids incorporation into proteins, labeled
utildine incorporation into RNA; and transport of labeled a-aminoisobutyric acid and
methylglucose. Reversibility of the toxic effects (by transferring the cells to medium
without additions) will be also determined.
Karyotypic studies will be conducted In the cell lines. Ultrastructural changes
Induced by the chemicals mentioned below in the cultured cells will be studied in
selected cases using electron microscopy.
Parallel studies using similar concentrations of these compounds will also be
performed on a wide variety of differentiated functions in cell culture systems.

Objectives: (1) 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 (1) for the study of hydrocarbon carcinogen metabolism to active forms and
the mechanism of chemical carcinogenesis.
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 (1), to establish with certainty the "ultimate" carcinogenic metabolite,
using primarily high pressure liquid chromatography techniques.

(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 increased amounts of given elements and occupational, environ-
cental, and individual health factors, and to determine whether the baseline concen-
trations for given elements are already increasing with time. 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 con-
centrations 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 readil;
available from statistically large numbers of people, will be analyzed for all elements
having £>15 and the results will be statistically analyzed in a search for correlations
and trends. (3) Current Plans and/or Progress; Since this work is being initiated in
FY 1976, the only work to date has been an extensive but preliminary literature search,
which supports the hypothesis that teeth should make excellent indicators of trace
clement concentrations in contemporary and historical man. Many chemical elements have
already been shown to deposit in teeth, accumulating apparently indefinitely, and
neither sample preparation procedures nor mortuary practices are likely to interfere.

1) To develop a new comparative test system, using clortes of the fish Poecilta
formosa, capable of detecting the carcinogenicity of chemicals by treatment of cells
IS vitro or by treatment of whole animals.
2) The fish P. formosa may be grown in clones and hence there is no inmunological
barrie'r 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 vitro
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 will be maintained at 25-50 fish per 30-gallon tank. The water is purified
by filtration and UV radiation in an irradiator external to the tank. Under such
conditions we do not expect much, if any, loss of animals from infection or disease.
Special tanks will be set aside for the treatment of whole animals. Individual dose
points will normally use approximately 50 fish.

The tracheal graft system developed in our group represents a new approach to
studying respiratory tract carcinogens and cocarcinogens using a defined target,
dose, and exposure time.
The system is ideal for identification of materials suspected to be carcinogenic
for respiratory tract epithelium.
The purpose of the proposed studies is to refine the tracheal transplant model
to allow controlled release of chemicals such as carcinogenic polycyclic
hydrocarbons and cocarcinogens or promoters such as phenoles and to determine
the sensitivity of the tracheal graft system for detection of substances that
are toxic, carcinogenic, or cocarcinogenic for respiratory tract epithelium.

Studies will be conducted to define the dispersion and retention patterns of inhaled
non-nuclear pollutants in lung and other critical tissues of several animal species.
These pollutants are produced as a consequence of using organic fuels for generation
of electrical energy. Knowing their accumulation and retention patterns is necessary
to accurately describe doses to critical tissues for these inhaled materials. Primary
emphasis will be placed on sulfur compounds resulting from chemical and physical in-
teractions of S02 with air and airborne particulates. Results will include 3-dimen-
sional dose distribution or toxicant concentration maps for critical tissues as func-
tions of time after inhalation exposure. Tissue areas having the highest concentra-
tions of the toxicants will be noted and comparisons made with pathology data where
possible. A study is being designed in which a 35S-labeled, sulfur-containing com-
pound of interest (either ammonium sulfate or sulfuric acid) will be used to expose
a group of Syrian hamsters to achieve lung burdens which produce demonstrable respi-
ratory irritation. Photographic, autoradiographic and computer procedures will be
used to define the initial distribution pattern of the irritant in the lungs of these
animals as well as the time course for dissipation or redistribution of the labeled
compound. Results will in essence yield a 3-dimensional model for irritant distri-
bution in lung tissue for several time intervals after exposure.

Metal oxides are common components of effluents generated from combustion processes
used for the production of electrical and mechanical power. A number of metals have
been found in high concentrations in lung tissues as compared to other body tissues
in humans in the United States implicating inhalation as a primary route of exposure.
Aluminum and titanium, two natural air pollutants, are retained almost exclusively in
lung tissues although they are not generally considered toxic at normal environmental
levels. Nickel, beryllium, cadmium, tin, antimony, lead and bismuth have all been
identified in environmental air samples and all have known toxic properties. Pulmonary
retention of these metals 1s greatest for cadmium, tin and beryllium, whereas nickel
and lead apparently distribute rapidly throughout other body tissues depending upon
the biological solubility of the inhaled chemical species. Since the toxicity of
metals such as these is dependent upon both the exposure and deposited doses of the
toxicant in lung and other tissues of the body, it 1s necessary to develop detailed
metal dose distribution relationships to correlate pathologic observations with inhaled
air concentrations. Efforts to date have been mainly concerned with identification
of metal oxide aerosols for future studies. Presently studies are anticipated with
aerosols of nickel, cadmium and arsenic to be conducted in a small rodent species.
These studies will be designed to measure pulmonary retention of the oxide aerosols,
the relationship to chemical solubility of the particles and subsequent internal organ
distribution patterns.

Methodology will be developed (where necessary) for producing labeled organic and
organottetallic atnospheric pollutants. The classes of compounds for intended study are
hydrocarbons, compounds formed by the photooxidation of hydrocarbons from auto exhaust
la the presence of nitric oxide (photo chemical smog; SULJ as formaldehyde, peroxyacetyl
nitrate, acrolein, etc.) and certain, organomet allies. Incomplete' combusion of hydro-
carbon-containing fuels such as gasoline and oil and incomplete combustion of coal lead
to a variety of organic and organometallic compounds-. Pollution, from natural sources
also adds physiologically active materials to the environment. The metabolism, site of
sequestration and mechanisms of action of many of these compounds is little known at the
present tiae. Radioactive trajsiag of thesr. hydrocarbons in mammals will be used as a
sensitive means of determining tHeir disposition and potential site of. damage.
The tissue distribution aad/or subcellular distribution of these materials and
their metabolites in mammals will be determined after short term inhalation. Informa-
tion relating to (1) the identification of the target organs which sequester the
pollutants, (2) the identification of metabolites and the time sequence for formation of
metabolites of these pollutants, and (3) determination of the particular subcellular
site of binding within the target organ will be used to assess the potential hazard to
&ar^i.ai? caused by the inhalation and metabolism of these materials.
Representative compounds will be chosen for synthesis, the .labeling agents being
C-13 and C-14 depending on whichever, is appropriate for the study. A limited number of
Pollutants will be chosen for study of the in-vivo effect on lung metabolism, using a
aodel being developed in this laboratory in another project. Some dynamic imaging and
in-vivo kinetics of metabolism and catabolisa can be studied using C-ll labeled
materials. Finally, selected organometallics will be labeled with radloisotopes of the
cetal for similar studies.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such Information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
The goals of this project are directed toward better understanding the potentially muta-
genic effects of effluents from fossil fuel conversion, processing and combustion for
power production. The major effort is to develop methods for evaluating cytogenetic
changes in various lung cell populations following inhalation of such effluents. Addi-
tional -effort will be directed toward obtaining a better understanding of pulmonary cell
kinetics. The cytogenetic changes will serve as a measure of the mutagenicity of com-
pounds released which, coupled with cell turnover data, may be useful in predicting
long-term effects such as the carcinogenlcity of the materials. Cytogenetic and cyto-
kinetic changes 1n a variety of pulmonary cells in the Chinese hamster will be studied.
Cell systems being considered are tracheobronchial epithelium, alveolar macrophages,
flbroblasts, alveolar epithelium and endothelium. Fly ash (collected both hot and cold
from a coal burning power plant) will be used as a particulate carrier material for the
inhalation studies. The ash, with its associated heavy metals and organic materials,
will be characterized and possible dose response relationships for chromosome and cyto-
klnetic changes determined. It will serve as a carrier for studies with known mutagens
and with crude and partially fractionated materials from fuel conversion plants. To
provide a basis for comparing the effectiveness of these chemicals to radiation in pro-
ducing chromosome changes, the cells will be exposed to 60co and dose-response relation-
ships established. This will calibrate the cell systems and provide information which
will be useful in defining potential mutagenic hazards and in determining comparative
risk estimates for these technologies. Techniques have been developed for obtaining
trachea! epithelial cells and preparation of metaphase chromosomes. A study is current-
ly under way using autoradiography with l^C and 3H-thymidine labeling in vivo to deter-
mine cell turnover rates in normal Chinese hamster lung.

This project will be concerned with heavy metals for which there 1s direct or
Inferential evidence for deleterious effects on prenatal development. It will
define the specific influences of factors which affect the qualitative and
quantitative aspects of the cross-piacental transfer of certain of the heavy
metals associated with energy production and thair distribution throughout the
fetoplacental unit as a function of tine after exposure to define the tissues at
risk and provide quantitative estimates of dose. In the initial studies, wr.icn
will involve lead and vanadiura, transfer and distribution will be evaluated at
four different gestational ages selected to represent stages In the contiruun of
embryonic and placental development. The Intravenous, oral, and Inhalation routes |
of administration, which will provide differences in the rate at which the ratals j
are presented to the placenta as well as possible differences in their chemical j
binding in blood, will be compared.. Since metabolism may be influenced by the j
mass administered, a low dose level as well as one in the teratogenic range will i
be studied. This will also provide a reference point for comparison with available!
data on teratogcnesis and provide a basis for design of studies we will perfom
to establish dose-response relationships.

The primary purpose of this project Is to test for genetic effects of electric
fields at the chromosomal leva!, using t)rosopii1la strains bearing appropriate
markers to detect frequencies of offspring bearing new Hnkaga relationshlos. A
mechanism by which environmental factors can affect karyotype has been known
since tha 1943 work of Sax showed that dislocation of broken chromosome ends
leads to increased frequencies of aberrations. If tha ends are not disturbed,
restitution with no resultant detectable lesion is the rule. Since the chrcnoscre
has uneven charge distribution, electric fields may cause movement of the broken
ends of spontaneously broken chrososonas with increased frequencies of aberrations.
This could be a factor In increasing frequencies of dominant lethals 1n germinal
cells and 1n producing aberrant karyotypes in somatic cells. Microorganlsns
will also be used in the study to supplement and extend the data. DC fields will
be studied initially with follow-on work on AC fields..

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

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 non-mammalian test systems, (f) chemi-
cally related to known mutagens.
The extent of the test for a proved mutagen will depend on the potency of the mutagen
and on the level of exposure expected in the human population.

The objective is to determine simultaneously the mutagenicity and carcinogen!city of
energy-related pollutants such as various polycyclic hydrocarbons, heavy and trace
metals—using two cultured mammalian cell systems.
Knowledge and documentation of such environmental hazards are urgently needed to
effectively control long-term genetic hazards and short-term onset of cancers in human
populations. The mutagenicity of these environmental agents will be quantitated using
specific gene locus mutational assay systems of Chinese hamster ovary cells, and the
carcinogenicity measured in an in vitro transformation system of mouse Balb/3T3 cells.
With the recent advances in mammalian cell biology, it is now possible to quantitate
specific gene locus mutations induced by physical and chemical agents in cultured
mammalian somatic cells. Similarly, several in vitro systems for cell transformation
by various agents have been established as a rapid means for screening carcinogens.
The hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase mutational system will be used to
quantitate the mutagenicity of various environmental agents. In addition, we have
already undertaken to adapt a mutational system resulting in ouabain resistance, an
autosomal-linked co-dominant marker, in CHO cells. The mouse Balb/3T3 cell (clone 31)
system is known to be suitable for quantitative transformation in vitro. This system
has been adapted in our laboratory. We are employing the 3T3 cell system to test the
ability of various pollutants to cause transformation in vitro. Polycyclic hydro-
carbons will be activated whenever this seems appropriate. Finally, attempts are being
made to develop a mutation detection system for the Balb/3T3 mouse cell system.
Establishment of the same mammalian cell system for simultaneous quantitation of
malignant transformation and mutation will provide a simple, rapid and quantitative
estimate of the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of environmental agents. The system
will also provide a reliable means to study the relationship between carcinogenicity
and mutagenicity, and ultimately to establish the role of somatic mutations in cancer.

Damages to developing embryos from environmental agents are Important to determine for
two reasons: (a) they are the subject of an Immediate human concern; and (b) they are
Indicative of other possible damages to dividing and/or differentiating tissues.)
Instead of surveying major portions of the gestation period, we propose to concentrate
on specific sensitive systems that were developed by us 1n the course of earlier work
with radiation. One (or two) stages will be tested during the period of embryonic dif-
ferentiation, and one (or two) during the period of the division of totipotent cells.
r'or trie former, we propose to choose'a strain of mice whose natural potentialities cause
1t to straddle the threshold for certain quantitative characters (number of ribs, sterne
brae, lumbo-sacral border). In this labile situation, the effects of even small chenvica
disturbances at a known stage in development would presumably be recognizable. With X
rays, it was possible to detect doses as low as 25 R in relatively small experimental
groups. Treated embryos would be allowed to come to term and would be studied in
skeletal preparations. — If necessary, a second stage during organogenesis would also
be tested at which, according to the experience of our radiation work, maximal inciden-
ces of externally recognizable anomalies can be Induced with minimal disturbance from
mortality.
To test effects during the period of totipotency we shall choose stages determined
earlier to be exceedingly sensitive, namely the early pronuclear stage and/or the time
of the second cleavage. Treatment will be in vivo and survival will be scored by
uterine dissection approximately two weeks later.

This research project is directed at measuring effects produced in the intact
mammal by exposure to chemical pollutants. Effects are measured at the cell
population 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.

We have developed primary cell cultures as model systems for investigations in devel-
opmental biology. Cultures from embryonic nervous tissue, liver and muscle express in
vivo developmental programs with respect to several organ-specific functions and hormo-
nal regulation. It is proposed here to utilize these cultures as fast, easy, quantita-
tive and reliable test systems to evaluate the potential teratogenic and mutagenic ef-
fects of trace and heavy metals and carcinogenic hydrocarbons released during the
combustion of fuels. We will first focus on lead and dimethyl benzathracene (DMBA), a
known carcinogen, because of their release or production during fuel combustion and
their known toxicity to humans. Our primary aim will be to determine the dose-effect
relationships on growth, development of differentiated functions and mutagenesis during
long-term cultures.
Primary cultures from embryonic cells express the development program of tissue
specific functions within a 3-4 week period. After the first two days in culture, the
cells will be exposed to lead nitrate (10-10 to 10~4 M) or carcinogenic hydrocarbons
0-7 to 10-5 M) by addition of these chemicals to the culture medium until the cultures
are harvested for assays of biochemical markers. Cultures will be collected for assays
every three days over the 4 week period mentioned above. To assess how much lead is re-
tained by the cells, 210Pb radioisotope will be added to lead nitrate. The uptake and
retention of DMBA in cells will be measured by using 3H-DMBA to assess cumulative doses.
The aboye compounds will be added every three days in fresh medium when the old medium
is discarded. In addition to establishing the effect of pollutants on the developmental
profile of tissue specific functions, the effect on growth will be evaluated by measuring
total DNA, SNA, proteins and the incorporation of radioactive precursors into these
compounds. The effect of the chemicals on the fine structure of the cells will be
studied by electron microscopy. Shorter exposure times will be conducted to determine
if there is a particularly vulnerable period. Reversibility of the effect of lead will
be tested by putting cells in fresh medium ± a chelating agent. Isolation of lead
resistant mutants will be attempted.

The proposed project will be concerned with the effect of low level of
chronic radiation (radioactive pollutants) on mammalian (rat) brain development
over several generations, emphasizing the dose-effect relationships.
First approach; 1. The pregnant rats (Fo) and their fetuses will be exposed
to chronic low level radiation that does not produce sterility. 2. Some of the newborns
(Fi) will be examined for first generation effects on brain development. 3. The
remaining Fj females will be raised without further addition of radioisotopes. mated with
non-irradiated males, and their offspring FZ examined for cerebral parameters.
Second approach: The possibility of cumulative effect of radiation over generations
will be investigated by continuous (chronic) exposure of pregnant mothers and of
their progeny to low (non-sterilizing) level of radiation (radioisot Jpes), and
examination of the brains in consecutive generations ( first through fifth) as described
above.
This project is just starting.

This project will evaluate the biological effects of dally Inhalation exposure
to four air pollutants CO, flO?, S02, and fly ash administered at twice current
threshold limit values. Initial experiments will employ hamsters exposed either
acutely for studies of deposition and retention or chronically for studies of
pulmonary function an-1 for periodic histopathological evaluation. During tne
first year groups of animals will be exposed to S02, fly ash, and S02 P^us
fly ash. During the second year, groups of animals exposed to ;iO<> and CO will
be added to the study. The effect of relative humidity on biological effects
of S02 and fly ash will also be examined during the first year since humidity
1$ known to be important in the Interaction of S02 with various partlculates.
Several different testing procedures will be used to evaluate both seperate
and possible synemistic effects of those pollutants. Pulmonary deposition
and retention of different pollutants following short term inhalation exposure
to labelled material will be psrfomed to determine where the material is
depositing In the respiratory tract, particularly the fly ash, and whether
pollutant gasas vHll effect the clearance of fly ash from the lung. Pulmonary
function testing will ba performed including, possibly, measurements of
pulroonary resistance and compliance to evaluate acute and progressive response
to pollutant exposure. Detailed h1sto?atholog1cal evaluations will be nace
of the lungs and systemic organs to describe lesions associated with pollutant
exposure. Based on information gained fron pulmonary function testing and
hlstopathologic evaluations, biochemical processes sensitive to pollutant
exposure and responsible for the observed changes will be defined end th&se
biochemical processes will be examined In detail.

The purpose of this study Is to determine which of several possible vasoactlve
agents (catecholamines, histanine, acetylchollne, prostoglandlns, and serotonin)
are responsible for changes 1n airway resistence associated with the Inhalation
of sulfur pollutants. The aulnea pig 1s extremely sensitive to inhaled sulfur I
compounds and develops a bronchoconstrlction and increased airway resistance. j
During the first year, awake guinea pigs and artificially perfused and ventilated I
guinea pig lungs will be exposed to sulfuric acid (H^SOt.) rvtsts to evaluate tha j
role of different vasoactlvc? aoants.lii'iu^jiatliiM sylfiir related bronchoconstrlc-
tion. The role of different vasoactive agents will be determined by pharmacolo-
gically blocking the agent with Its specific Inhibitor and deternlnlng whether
the bronchoconstrlction and increased airway resistance during inhalation of
HjSOi, mist is affectad. If the nornal bronchoconstricil^n during inhalation of
H2SO.J mist 1s modified by a blocking agent, the vasoactlve ayent being blocked
will be assumed to be involved in the broncnoconstriction. Following .initial
experiments with li2SO/t mist, vasoactiva agents mediating responses to S02 and
S02 plus a characterized aerosol of fly ash will be defined. Ccnplotion of this
work will provide Information required for a detailed examination of the metab-
olism of vasoactive agents mediating the responses to Inhaled sulfur compounds.
Tha metabolism of these agents can then be correlated with physiological and
pathological responses to acute and chronic S02 exposure.

Air pollution due to fossil fuel combustion is a mixture of chemical substances of varie
toxicity of which sulfur oxide and particulates are major components. Although the
ultimate toxicants of air pollution due to fossil fuel are not known, SOp-particle in-
teraction products, such as various acid sulfates, are suspected to be of prime impor-
tance. The present studies are designed to determine what effects acute and chronic
exposures to various well-defined acid sulfate particles have on various nonrespiratory
functions of the lung, specifically resistence to viral and bacterial infection, and
early and long-term clearance of insoluble particles from the deep lung. These studies
will be compared with those of animals similarly exposed to S02. The resistence to
pulmonary bacterial infection will be determined by exposing groups of rodents to rela-
tively high and ambient levels of various acid sulfate particles and then testing their
ability to kill inhaled bacteria. The resistence to pulmonary viral infection will be
assessed by challenging acid sulfate-particle-exposed mice with influenza or parainflu-
enza virus. At various intervals after initiation of exposure, groups of animals will
be removed and challenged with an influenza virus. The lethality, mean survival times,
and pulmonary virus replication will be determined in the sulfate-particle-exposed ani-
mals and be compared with parallel studies with S02-exposed and control animals. The
retention of insoluble particles in the deep lung will be determined in animals exposed
to SOg and acid sulfate particles. At various intervals after exposure, groups of ani-
mals will be removed and exposed to aerosols of monodisperse particles of aluminosilicat
labeled with 137Cs. The retention in the lung will be determined by periodic whole-
body counting.

Acid sulfate particulates .represent one important emission product from fossil fueled
power generation plants. Once inhaled, such aerosol may result in adverse pulmonary
responses in human lungs, therefore the physiological and pathological effects of in-
haled acid sulfate aerosols will be evaluated in a series of three interrelated studies.
The first study will involve acute exposures of guinea pigs to two concentrations of
each of two aerosols with simultaneous monitoring of breathing pattern and lung mechan-
ics. The second study will involve similar acute exposures of dogs to the same agents
and concentrations to establish the comparative response of dogs and guinea pigs. The
third study will Involve chronic exposures of dogs to a selected concentration of the
two aerosols for a nine-month period with serial cardiopulmonary function testing. At
the end of the exposure period, one-half of the dogs will be sacrificed for histopatho-
logical evaluation and the remainder will be allowed to breathe clean air for an addi-
tional three months. The dogs breathing clean air will be evaluated with serial func-
tion measurements and sacrificed at the end of the period to determine whether observed
pathophysiologic or morphologic changes persisted or resolved. Exposure chambers and
aerosol generation and characterization techniques are being developed. Sulfuric acid
mist and ammonium sulfate particles have tentatively been chosen as the agents for ex-
posure. Concentrations in the 0.1 to 1.0 mg/m3 range have been selected for study.

induction by exposing animals for varying durations to single carcinogens and
combinations of carcinogens and analyzing the resulting response patterns. Temporal
response patterns for initiation-promotion and whole carcinogenesis will be determined
in mouse and rat skin and hamster lung for representative carcinogens, including, ionizing
radiation, ultraviolet light, benzo (a) pyrene, 4-nitroquinoline-l-oxide and
diepoxybutane. Cell proliferation kinetics and lethality in tumors and normal tissue
will be studied as comparative bases for carcinogenicity.

Man Is only rarely exposed to carcinogen doses large enough to cause cancer by
themselves. For this reason, Investigations of co-factors, cocardnogens and
promoters which enhance the carcinogenic efficacy of subthreshold levels of
transforming agents, are of great practical Importance.
The experiments are designed to determine whether and under what condition Irritant
gases, that are common by-products of fossil fuel combustion, Increase the
susceptibility of respiratory tract epithelium to tumor Induction or whether
such by-products have cocarc1nogen1c or promoter like activity. These experiments
are carried out by exposing the respiratory tract of laboratory rodents to either
systemic or topical carcinogens and simultaneously or subsequently to Irritant
gases such as nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, or acroleln. The temporal relation-
ship between carcinogen exposure and cocarclnogen exposure will be Investigated.

It is Important to define criteria by which various epithelial lesions can be
classified in terms of their biological potential, i.e. normal and abnormal
growth behavior, nutritional requirements, cell turnover, differentiation, etc.
since the histopathological and cytopathological criteria used for diagnosis
of pre-cancerous lesions are very unsatisfactory.
The purpose of the studies is to determine the growth behavior of epithelial
lesions induced in vivo by carcinogens. This will be accomplished by placing
tracheal explants in vitro and observing the growth behavior of such epithelium
under various in vitro conditions. The stability of preneoplastic lesions
induced by different dose levels of polycyclic hydrocarbons will be investigated.

Investigations will be made on the effects of the gaseous air pollutants N02
and SO- on the lung using the mouse as the experimental animal. The objective
is to detect early changes at very low levels of exposure, and to determine if
there is a relationship to carcinogenesis. In a recent study we have reported on an
apparently general dependence of the latent period in carcinogenesis on an inverse
power of the dose of carcinogen. The effects of toxic agents on latent period, as
well as on total tumor incidence, will be studied. A sensitive method for detecting
and measuring additive or cocarcinogenic effects is the use of mice exposed to
urethan to test effects of other substances. These mice will be used to test for
possible additive carcinogenic effects of airborne toxic substances by exposing them
to the pollutants before and after administration of urethan'. Part of the treated
animals will be serially sacrificed beginning after exposure to the toxic agents and
both conventional and.scanning electron microscopy used to search for early structural
alterations, and to explore the possibilities of recognizing incipient tumors at an
earlier stage than has heretofore been possible.

Procedures developed in this laboratory for studying the mechanism of hepatic
tumorigenesis in the rat have proven useful as a means of detecting tumorigenic
enhancers in the environment. Briefly, the test protocol involves short-term feeding
of the liver carcinogen, 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF), in an amount designed to produce
a low incidence of liver tumors. This treatment is followed by the feeding of the
substance under investigation for the remainder of the experiment. The incidence of
liver, tumors in the animals on this sequential feeding regime is compared with that in
rats receiving only the limited AAF treatment or the prolonged exposure to the t«8t
substance. A higher tumor" incidence in rats receiving both the AAF and test substance
in comparison to rats given AAF alone, with no evidence of tumore production in rats
given the test substance alone, classifies the substance as a tumorigenic enhancer.
Studies using this procedure indicate that phenobarbital and DDT are potent enhancers,
whereas amobarbital and diphenylhydantoin are not effective.
Since the sequential feeding procedure is evidently capable of discriminating
among agents differing in enhancing ability it would appear to be an appropriate method
for screening energy-related pollutants, such as polycyclic hydrocarbons, for relative
enhancing activity. The proposed research will examine this possibility by using the
sequential feeding regime to test the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon 1,2 benzanthracen
for tumorigenic enhancing activity.

Autoxidation of unsaturated fatty acyl groups in lipids of biomembranes, initiated
by known major atmospheric pollutants and inhibited by natural antioxidants, is being
studied, using both rat liver microsome membrane vesicles (bilayer) and mixtures — com-
position of which can be varied at will - adsorbed (as monolayers) on silicic acid as
representative or model systems. Autoxidative alteration of unsaturated fatty acyl
groups as a function of composition and ordered arrangement is followed primarily by
gas chromatographic techniques. In the monolayer system, saturated fatty acids retard
the autoxidation rate whereas tocopherols introduce a lag period but do not change the
rate. Cholesterol enhances the autoxidation rate. In the microsomal system, rates of
autoxidation are low as long as any tocopherol remains in the membrane unless Fe and
ascorbate are present.
Alteration of unsaturated fatty acyl groups of types present in alveolar fluid sur-
factant lipid monolayers initiated by exposure to nitrogen dioxide and oxygen (£.£.,
cis -9^ trans isomerization and autoxidation) is being investigated via efforts to es-
tablish relative rates of alternative pathways followed after initial addition of N02
to olefinic centers, kinetic spectrophotometric techniques being employed primarily.
Early findings suggest that olefinic center isomerization and autoxidation may be com-
petitive rate-wise under conditions typical of exposure of such lipids to air containing
NC>2 in the parts-per-million range.

The goal of this project is to determine the extent that long-chain aliphatic and
aromatic hydrocarbons, N02, S02» and organic particulates produced In manufacture of
energy from nonnuclear fuels, alter the biochemical Integrity of membrane structure
and organelles of mammalian lungs. Changes In the biochemical and morphological
Properties of the lung membranes caused by these pollutants will be correlated with
Pulmonary functional parameters (e.g., production of surfactant) and development of
pulmonary disease.
The experimental approach Is designed to determine the effect of typical pollutants
°n the quantitative distribution of intact 1ipoproteins, and enzymes associated with
specific membranes (glucose-6-phosphatase, cytochrome c oxldase, ATPase, 5-nucleotldase,
galactosidase, glycerolipid acyItransferases, acyl-CoA synthetase, acyl-CoA desaturase,
and P-J«50 associated hydroxylases). Alterations in the biomolecular organization and
enzymlc properties of the membranes will be correlated with the pathological changes
found in lung tissues after exposure of animals to atmospheric pollutants.
Results from this Investigation are expected to provide a critical assessment of how
sensitive biochemical indicators of lung injury respond when exposed to environmental
chemical hazards. Such Information Is needed for (1) establishing realistic safety
Hmits for nonnuclear pollutants as they become Identified, (2) developing methods for
their detection, and (3) developing agents for the prevention of lung damage.

This study will define the defects in RNA metabolism caused by toxic agents such as
mercury, lead, cadmium, selenium, lactones, epoxides, aromatic amines, activatable poly-
cyclic hydrocarbons, and other less well recognized components associated with coal and
oil shale processing and.utilization. It is our general premise that toxicants are more
likely to disrupt complex metabolic systems and that the severity of the cellular
effects elicited will be related to the importance of that metabolic system for partic-
ular cellular functions. Viewed within that context, ribonucleoprotein effects will be
a sensitive and significant end point, since (1) ribonucleoproteins are complex in both
their manner of assembly and in the stringent structural relationships required for
their functioning and (2) ribonucleoproteins are necessary for many cellular functions
such as protein synthesis, control of macromolecular synthesis, and initiation of DNA
replication. The effects of toxic agents on synthesis, processing, and function of
nessenger-related ribonucleic acids will be analyzed. Initial studies will determine
the effects on synthesis of heterogeneous nuclear RNA; processing this RNA via trimminn
association with proteins, and polyadenylation; appearance of free and ribosome-
issociated RNA in cytoplasm; and functional capability of messenger RNA and other compo-
lents of the cell protein synthesizing system.

There is considerable evidence that environmental pollutants produced by the
nbustion of fossil fuels are involved with the onset of cancer. Polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH) have been shown conclusively to produce malignancies in experiment
animals and cells grown in culture. The widespread distribution of these hydrocarbons
as a result of the combustion of fossil fuel, both in moving and in stationary power
plants, as well as in the combustion of agricultural wastes, makes them important
environmental carcinogens. The objective of our research will be to define the
chemically reactive positions of PAH and to determine how these hydrocarbons and/Or
their reactive intermediates interact with biological macromolecules. The approach
is to study the metabolic activation of PAH and the subsequent transformation of
mammalian cells. Ultimately, the information gained in this study will help understand
what biological reactions of PAH are involved with the malignant transformation of
mammalian cells.

A wide variety of chemicals undergo photochemical reactions in solution leading to
reactive intermediates capable of attacking DNA. The objectives of the proposed
project are to Identify and quantitate the spectrum of damage present in DNA
following exposure to a given compound in the presence and absence of light.
Emphasis will be placed on polycycllc hydrocarbons and organic peroxides. Low
levels of damage in the form of chain breaks or endonuclease sensitive sites will
be studied using alkaline sucrose sedimentation techniques. The expression of
alkaline labile bonds will be eliminated by the alternative use of gradients
containing organic denaturants in place of alkali. Defects in DNA secondary
structure caused by base damage will be characterized by their ability to induce
unwinding of the helix in the presence of formaldehyde (kinetic formaldehyde
analysis). Postlabeling of DNA with 1odine-l25 will be Investigated as an
alternative to the often difficult task of incorporating radioactive precursors
Into a generating cell system. The use of fluorometric as well as phosphorometric
assay will also be explored as possible alternatives to the task of preparing
radioactive labeled DNA.

The objectives of this project are: (1) To utilize model cell regulatory systems
wherein genetic transcription, translation, and turnover of key nucleic adds and
proteins can be analyzed and manipulated to determine mechanisms of cellular damage
to these processes by hazardous agents associated with coal and oil shale technolo-
gies; (2) To determine if partial or total expression of oncogenic viruses is In-
volved in malignant transformation by polycycllc hydrocarbons.
Our approach 1s as follows: The H35 cell line, developed from a rat hepatoma and
containing the indudble tyroslne aminotransferase system, will be exposed to
hydrocarbons associated with coal liquefaction and other fossil fuel conversion
processes. Initial studies will monitor Induction by hydrocortlsone (transcription),
and turnover of the tyroslne aminotransferase and Its mRNA. The outcome of these
studies will determine the nature of further analyses to identify the specific
regulatory function affected. Mouse embryo cells (AKR), known to carry the genetic
Information for synthesis of leukemia virus, will be exposed to hydrocarbons
associated with coal conversion (and their metabolites, if necessary) and synthesis
of specific virus components will be monitored and correlated with transforming
capacity. Preliminary experiments Indicate that carcinogenic hydrocarbons strongly
Influence the induction of tyroslne aminotransferase by hydrocortlsone. The
Induced steady state Is reached much earlier than 1n cells treated with hormone
alone, suggesting that the Induced mRNA may be stabilized 1n the presence of
hydrocarbon. Viral induction experiments in AKR cells have not yet been Initiated.

Recent work done in the Mammalian Genetics Section of the Biology Division at Oak
Ridge has, for the first time, established that DNA repair occurs in vivo in several
germ cell stages of male mice when exposed to known chemical mutagens. This finding
represents an important and useful tool in the screening of potential mutagenlc agents
since DNA repair is prima fade evidence that the suspected agent (or one of its
metabolites) has reached the germ cell DNA, produced lesions and initiated a repair
process which may, by itself, lead to mutations if the repair is not totally "error
free."
One important problem that can be addressed using this In vivo DNA repair assay in
mouse germ cells Is the mutagenlc potential of some of the various polycyclic
hydrocarbons produced in coal conversion. Several such compounds, such as benzopyrene,
dimethyIbenzanthracene, and 3-methylcholanthrene are already known to be carcinogenic
1n mammals, but their mutagenlc potentials are not as well understood. Toxicity
studies are currently being performed using these three compounds in (C3Hf X 101)F,
hybrid males in preparation for studying their ability to induce DNA repair in
mouse germ cells.

1) To compare the amounts of excision and postreplication repair in bacterial and
mammalian cells treated with combinations of chemical agents and UV radiation so as to
determine whether they act independently, additively or synergistically. To determine
the effects of volatile agents on protein structure and function so as to obtain
estimates of effects on repair and recombination enzymes and on oxygen binding proteins.
2,3) The molecular nature of the lesions resulting from UV radiation of DNA are
well known in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems studied. The excision repair of
these lesions tends to become saturated at high doses; for example, in mammalian cells
the repair systems are able only to remove pyrimidine dimers up to some fixed maximum
that depends upon species. The unrepaired dimers are presumably bypassed by a post-
replication (recombination) repair system in bacteria. The latter process is in part
error-prone and the error-prone part seems to be induced by UV radiation itself. If
the same repair systems act on both chemical and UV damage then the amount of repair
measured radioautographically as a result of.a combined treatment should be no greater
than that observed with UV alone. Moreover, the maximum numbers of dimers excised in
a combined treatment will be less than observed with UV alone. Thus we shall measure
In mammalian cells unscheduled DNA synthesis for a combined treatment and dimer excision
for such combined treatments
In a complementary study the effects of chemicals, primarily volatile agents, on
protein function and conformation will be measured in terms of their effects a) on
Purified repair enzymes acting in vitro, and b) on the conformation of well characteri-
zed proteins, such as hemoglobin which is known to be affected, by x-ray and neutron
diffraction studies and by spectroscopic analyses. The latter work will suggest the
mode of action of such compounds on other enzyme systems.

In reference to non-nuclear energy-related pollutants, the objectives of this
research are to assess: whether such materials are biologically active; whether or
not they interact with other agents (nuclear and non-nuclear) in the environment;
what are the natures of the molecular lesions involved; and if mammalian cells can
repair the damage produced. For this purpose, primarily cultured cells will be used
and cell killing, mutation, and neoplastic transformation will be measured. As
required, test of neoplastic change will be made using appropriate hosts.

The project involves the mechanism of repair of DNA treated with chemical
carcinogens and 7-irradiation. An enzyme. Endonuclea Be II. has been purified
extensively from E. Coli and breaks phosphodiester bonds of DNA treated with
methylmethanesulfonate, dimethylsulfate. methylnitrosourea, 7-bromomethyl-12 methyl
benzanthracene, and 7-irradiation. The enzyme also hydrolyzes phosphodiester bonds
in depurinated DNA and releases selectively methylated bases. It is proposed to
investigate with the E. coli enzyme the nature of the depurination reaction and the
phosphodiester bond hydrolysis to determine if they are due to one or two enzymes, to
reexamine the site of the phosphodiester bond hydrolysis, to define other chemical care Inoq
carcinogens which when reacted with DNA produce a substrate and to define the
substrate recognized in irradiated DNA. Similar enzymes are being purified from calf
liver and human placenta and levels of enzyme will be surveyed in normal and tumor
tissues and in various lines of cultured cellls.

The goal of the first task is to develop inf6rmation about the fundamental
molecular and cellular damage associated with possible? carc.inogenesis/rautagenesis from
hydrocarbons and other pollutants derived from fossil fueled energy conversion and
utilization processes. There is evidence that metabolic activation of some, or many,
classes of. carcinogens/mutagens produres free radical forms which are the ultimate
reactants with nucleic acids or other target biomolecules. In this work special con-
tinuous-flow reactors designed at BNL for use with electron paramagnetic resonance, at
Q-band (35 GHz) will be used in an effort to detect and identify short-lived free
radical addition compounds formed with nucleic acids, their components, and related
biochemicals. A two-stage mixer will be used (the first stage to produce reactive
free radical forms of carcinogenic compounds and their derivatives and the second to
react with these test nucleic acid components), following further development of a
prototype already available at BNL*
The second task will seek to use spin-label methods to provide a rapid, presumptive
test for DNA binding of test substances (following incubation with activating enzyme
systems, where appropriate). The goal is to develop a cheap and easy semi-empirical
procedure of broad applicability. If successful, the spin-label test would screen for
a chemical property of test compounds that should correlate with carcinogenesis (and
mutagenesis), possibly being a necessary — if insufficient — condition for carcino-
genesis to ensue.

(1) Objectives:
(a) To determine the functional and morphological consequences of injury to the
respiratory system of rodents and monkeys by inhalation of effluents from coal-burning
power sources. Sulfuric acid and particulates will be used as models of injury.
(b) To determine the site and sequence of biochemical, immunological, and cellular
mechanisms responsible for the injury.
(c) To determine cellular and subcellular mechanisms of adaptation and repair
^"according to intensity and duration of injury, and to plot the extent to which recovery/
'is possible as a function of^xposure concentration and time.
Vd) lo examine the relationships between the factors invoivetf'ln cue balance" between
injury and adaptation/repair, and to assess their relative roles in the development of
chronic bronchitis, emphysema, interstitial fibrosis, and proliferative states capable
of increasing the risk of carcinogenesis.
(2) Approach and (3) Current Plans:
Our primary goal is to study the nature of the reparative and adaptive mechanisms
taking place in the respiratory system in response to damage by energy-related
pollutants. This we propose to do by investigation of the intermediate-term effects of
sulfuric acid and/or particulates such as Si02 and flyash on the respiratory tracts
primarily of rodents and nonhuman primates. Principal efforts will be directed to
studies of the sequential development of lesions during exposures of the order of 90 to
120 days and the cellular and subcellular events occurring during a recovery period of
similar length. Damage, repair, and adaptation will be studied using sensitive
techniques of respiratory physiology, biochemistry, immunology, and pathology/morphology

The use of fossil fuels for the generation of electric power results in a stack release
of various gases, particulates and vapors. The interaction products of these emissions
may represent a health hazard to humans if inhaled repeatedly over a long period of
time. Acid sulfate particles represent one such interaction product which, following
inhalation, may damage sensitive cells comprising the respiratory tract. Research on
the nature and response of the cells at risk 1n the respiratory tract after acid sul-
fate inhalation will be directed at four potentially important target cell types:
tracheobronchial epithelium, alveolar epithelium, alveolar macrophages, and pulmonary
capillary endothelium. Changes in cell populations 1n response to injury and cytopatho
loglc alterations in Individual cells will be studied by correlative light and electron
microscopy as well as by selected hlstochemical methods in an effort to define the
nature of the Injury and repair process as it occurs in the injured lung. Initial
studies will be undertaken using exposures of Syrian hamsters to atmospheres containing
1.0 or 0.1 mg/cubic meter sulfuric acid mist or ammonium sulphate. Both repeated and
chronic exposures will be done. Progress to date has been related to the evaluation
of inhalation exposure chambers, aerosol generation approaches and characterization
control procedures required for maintenance of constant exposure environments through
repeated or chronic animal exposures.

There is a three fold rationale for studying the effects of chemical toxicants on the function of
phegocytic cells. Firstly, chemical toxicants may interfere with the function of phagocytic cells in
defenses against external agents such as bacteria and viruses. Secondly, pathological effects of
certain toxicants such as silica and asbestos particles 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
phogocyMc cells to these agents and to their adverse effects.
Studies designed to elucidate the mechanism by which phagocytic cells may mediate the patho-
logical effects of particles (e.g. silica, asbestos, quartz, carbon) are in progress. We have shown
previously that neutrophils respond to rnonosodium urate crystals coated with immunoglobulin by re-
leasing lysosomal enzymes. This secretion of enzymes occurs without significant cell death. Studies
ore In progress to determine if other particles which initiate inflammatory tissue damage similarly
interact with immunoglobulin and to determine 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 dependent
upon the oxygen tension of the medium used for incubation. Reduction in oxygen tension results in
increased release of lysosomal enzymes in response to phagocytable particles, an increased rate of
orxjwobic glycolysis (reflected in increased lactate production) and a decreased rate of glucose
oxidation. Studies are in progress to determine the mechanism of these effects of altered oxygen
tension.

The objective of this health effects research program is to identify and determine quan-
titatively the mechanisms of energy-related physical and chemical toxic agents on the
mammalian hematopoietic system. This includes the assessment of toxicological dose-
damage relationships to mammalian blood cell formation by analysis of peripheral blood
cell composition and blood formation tissues (e.g., bone marrow, lymph nodes) for
maturation and survival of the various cell types. We propose to apply rapid and sensi-
tive blood cell analysis techniques to the determination of the effects of exposure to
and recovery from nonnuclear toxic agents on the production of blood cells in animal
test systems, with the objective of defining the changes applicable to exposed human
populations. Initial experiments will concentrate on further characterization of
small-animal peripheral blood and bone marrow cells by existing staining (fluorescence)
and flow-analysis methods. Development of simple microstaining techniques for blood
cell suspensions will also begin, permitting peripheral blood samples to be obtained
without animal sacrifice. Further developments of analytical techniques for character-
izing bone marrow cells will be initiated. Once satisfactory blood cell characteriza-
tion is completed on normal animals, blood cells from animals grown in experimental
toxic environments will be analyzed.

We propose to investigate recovery from the effects of a carcinogenic polycyclic
hydrocarbon on the size and the proliferative and functional capacity of different
sub-sets of immunocompetent cells. There is abundant evidence that carcinogens are
Immunosuppressive, but recovery and stabilization of different functional populations
of the immune system from acute and low-dose chronic exposure have not been studied.
We will examine the dose response to a compound, such as methylcholanthrene,
administered at different critical times in the development of the immune response in
mica. The toxicity of the chemical on the size and the differential sensitivity of
specific sub-sets of the population will help us to quickly identify the cell types
most sensitive to the test compound. This approach will permit us to measure the
decline, recovery and the level of stabilization of the immune system during carcino-
genesis. We will also assess the effects of a chronic low-level dosage of the carcino-
gen, given in manner, amount and frequency similar to the common mode of exposure to
such an industrial product or pollutant. The changes in the immune system will be
traced through length of life studies.
The changes in the immune system, resulting from treatment o.* mice with the chosen
carcinogen, will be followed in three ways: 1) The production of antibody-forming
cells to T-dependent and T-independent antigens. 2) Specific cell-mediated immunity
will be measured by the cytotoxicity assay to allogeneic cells. 3) Changes in the
number of cells in different sub-sets of immunocytes in the spleen will be measured.

The objective of this proposal is to study the immunosuppressive and potential
carcinogenic activity of an environmental pollutant, polychlorinated biphenyls, in a
subhuman primate. Two species of marmosets were chosen, Sogitinua oedipus oedipus and
Soguinua fuaoioolHs, the former because of its innate sensitivity to an identified
carcinogenic (environmental ?) agent as exemplified by the high incidence of spontan-
eous colon cancer in this species and the latter because of its apparent resistance
to the same agent. Polychlorinated bi- and triphenyls have been shown to induce a
hyperplastic response in a variety of organs in other primates (rhesus), one of the
primary target tissues being the gastric mucosal cells. As a positive control, groups
of each of these two species will also be exposed to 2,4 dimethylhydrazine, a known
potent colon carcinogen in mice, rats, and hamsters. Independent of any possible
carcinogenic activity, a major interest will be the alterations induced in the immun-
ologic apparatus of these animals during treatment with the two chemical compounds.
This will be monitored by both in vitro and in vivo test procedures. Current studies
have focused on establishing the background values for a variety of immunologic assays
prior to initiation of drug treatment.

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.
The health implications for people being exposed to quantities of potentially hazardous
materials such as sulfur, crude phenols, naphtha, tar oils, tars, ammonia, and crude
methanol are obvious. Many of these by-products (e.g., tar oils and tars) have a
notorious history of carcinogenicity. Crude phenols have high systemic toxicity and
are potentially synergistic with a variety of disease processes, as they are highly
Irritant to epithelia and may interfere with cell replacement mechanisms. The immune
system acts as a sensitive, finely tuned instrument to recognize foreign agents of
biological origin and to mobilize specialized body mechanisms to neutralize such agents.
We propose to study the importance of immunocompetence in recovery from various insults,
including carcinogenesis. Specific first phases of the study will include (1) monitor-
ing changes in the immune system occurring during aromatic hydrocarbon-induced carcino-
genesis of the respiratory tract and chemically induced (nitrosamines, dimethylhydra-
zine) carcinogenesis of the gastrointestinal tract and (2) determining the carcinogenic
properties of aromatic hydrocarbons alone and along with other potentially synergistic
agents in immunologically deprived animals.

The unique and rapid cell-analysis and sorting instrumentation at the Los Alamos
Scientific Laboratory will be used to quantitate certain cellular aspects of the human
immune response to specific hazardous agents generated by coal gasification and oil
shale production technologies. Flow microfluorometry (FMF) is currently being used to
provide a sensitive means for measuring lymphocyte stimulation in vitro before and
after addition of specific and nonspecific mitogens. It is proposed to extend this
work to determine the dose-effect relationship of lymphocytes to undergo immuno-
stimulation following in vivo (animal model systems) and in vitro exposure to specific
hazardous agents. Second, macrophage ingestion of specific nonnuclear particulate
matter will be quantitated. The subsequent effect on the ability of such a macrophage
to participate in its role of immunostimulation will be determined on a per cell basis
using rapid cell-analysis techniques. It is anticipated that these studies will pro-
vide information relating to defense mechanisms of the immune response (i.e., the role
suppression plays in this most important response to hazardous agents).

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 mea-
sures 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 therapeutic procedures for reducing these
concentrations to acceptable levels.
Two parallel and interdependent lines of investigation are planned: (1) Baseline
measurements of the tissue distribution (mice, dogs) of sublethal amounts of these
netals in whole organs and in microscopic tissue loci, mainly after i.v. administration;
(2) development and application of effective therapeutic removal procedures.
For two reasons, initial efforts are concentrated on 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 have demonstrated differences in the deposition of two
lead compounds, lead acetate (A) and lead citrate (C) ,• in mouse tissues. At 1 hr after
A the liver contained 51% of the injected dose per gram (% ID/g) and the spleen con-
tained 18% ID/g. In mice injected with C the comparable values were about 18% ID/g and
42 ID/g, respectively. Between 1 hr and 14"days after A, there was a large and rapid
reduction in liver and spleen deposition and more than a two-fold increase in femur
deposition. Up to 14 days after both A and C, the low but nearly constant brain levels
w«re of further note. At the physiological pH range C apparently remains soluble in th
tissues, whereas A undergoes hydrolysis, with subsequent uptake in reticuloenthelial

In the Science Information Exchange summaries of work in progress ore exchanged with government and private agencies supporting research in
tho bio«scitnces and ore forwarded to investigators who request such information. V our summary is to be used for these purposes.
(a) Somatic mutations in vivo
The purpose of this investigation is to develop methods by which the frequency of somatic
point mutations at several genetic loci in experimental animals and human beings can be
measured. Because blood is a readily available source of somatic cells that have a high
turnover rate, we will initially attempt our studies with the use of blood. Methods based
on differential staining of mutated and non-mutated cells will be developed. Antibodies
flagged with fluorescent moieties will be produced to identify cells containing aberrant
rnqtant' proteins.
This system will utilize automatic detection of variant cells by a cytograph and the data
will be stored and analyzed with the computer.
(b) Point mutations in male germinal tissue
The purpose of this investigation is to develop methods by which point mutations can l>e
detected directly on spermatogonia, spermatid and sperm. The mutant cells will be detect&d
by differential histochemical stains. Several enzyme systems will be employed, -some common
for somatic cells and the germinal tissue, some specific for the sperm.
Detection of aberrant sperm cells will involve the use of an automatic scanning microscope
which will be hooked into the computer.

A specific locus mutation system has been developed for mice. In this system it is possible
to detect mutations in nine isozyme loci. The efficiency for detection of mutations in such
a system increases with the number of isozyme loci which can be screened per mouse. Among
the various inbred mouse strains, there are several enzyme polymorphisms. The mouse strain
C57BL/6J is of a different origin than most other common mouse strains. This difference
can be increased by incorporating other known enzyme polymorphisms into this strain. Crosse
of the various strains (each to C57BL/6J) have begun. The F,'s will be backcrossed in order
to obtain a homozygous strain, to C57BL/6JX Three generations of backcrossing to C57BL/6J
have been completed for most of the enzymes.

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 will be used for the first dimension separation. Subsequently, isoelectric focus!
will then be conducted using thin slab acrylamide gels. Various pH ranges will be employed
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.

This research will be designed to develop an understanding of the mutagenic effects of
compounds as measured by mean and variance changes in polygenic characters. This system
should be iies-.gficu such that four or more easily measured polygenic traits will be tested.
Inbred strains such as DBA/2 and C57BL/6 are to be used in this study. Use of such strains
will allow for comparisons of results from this investigation with those of experiments now
being conducted at NIEHS. It will be necessary to: (a) test the effects of chemicals of
known mutagenicity, which have differing effects at various stages of germ cell production
such as mitomycin-C, TEM and MMS, (b) test all stages of germ cell (spermatogenesis) pro-
duction, (c) develop dose-response curves for the compounds used, (d) develop a design such
that genetic effects in both FT and F2 progeny may be ascertained, and (e) include in the
design provisions for incorporation and coordination of this system with cytological assays
for chromosomal aberrations.

for the mutagenlcity of environmental agents. Conpounds which are known mutagens (such
as alkylating agents, and frarreshTftT mutagens) will be tested in human and lyniphoid cell
lines for the induction of nutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl trans-
ferase and the argininosuccinic acid synthetase loci, and in marine lymphoid cells for the
induction of altered inrnunoglcbulin. The induction of chrccaoscmal breakage in these cell
lines vdll be studied using the G and H banding techniques.In addition, the research
will utilize bacterial test systems to determine the relationship between mutagenicity in
simpler organisms and in more complex, differentiated mammalian cells.

MULTIPLE LOCI SCRIEX FOR MUTATIONS IN MAMMALIAN CELLS
OSS YHlS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOU* PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEYWORDS
(NOT TO EXCEED 101 IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
It is our intention to develop a new system for testing the mutagenic potential of
various environmental agents on mammalian somatic cells. The basis of the procedure is
to expose cells to cutaeen and plate out single cell clones. Clonal isolates, after
being grown up to 40 x 10° cells, are then screened for electrophoretic variation of
the products of'over 40 genetic loci. Where a clonal variant is detected, it is iso-
lated and its heritability determined by subcloning and subsequent electrophorecis.
The procedure avoids cany of the problems associated with the detection on selective
systems of recessive nutations (auxotrophic, drug resistant, and temperature sensative^
in diploid mammalian cells since electrephoretlc mutations are co-dominant. Lack of
enrichment for mutants by selection is also compensated for by the increased probability
of obtaining an electroshorettc 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 nay be associated with a specific genetic locus,
mutations in a wide range of genetic loci nay be studied, the system requires no change
in the medium limiting the cause of any observed variation to intracellular events, and
mutations in both structuralpenes 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 outagen, time of
cloning and stage of the cell cycle for mutagen treatment -- and to use the system to
study mutation frequencies under a variety of conditions.

Development of DXA Repair for Monitoring Hunan Health
USE THIS*SPACt TO A3STP.AC7 VCuR PROPOSED RESEARCH. OUTLINE. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY W
(NOT TO EXCEED tO) IN YOUR 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 environcent. Efficient
and economical syster.s are needed to predict human susceptibility to hazardous agents
and to monitor human populations for adverse genetic effects which nay be caused by
unforsecn nutagons. Tnere is a high probability that these needs could be ir.et by
further development of DXA repair synthesis. The utility of the present in vitro UNA
repair synthesis tests can be enhanced by developing in vivo DXA repair synthesis to
r.eac'jre organ and tissue specificities of responses to hazardous events end by using
these sane tissues as the sources of metabolic activation enzyrces for in vitro UNA
repair synthesis assays. The significance of DXA repair synthesis will be further
enhanced by examinations of DXA repair in prematurely condensed chroiaosoaes and by
correlations of theextentof DXA repair with measurements of cytogenetic aberrations,
with mutageiiesis of nanmalian cells, and with carcinogenesis as measured by cell
transfo:,nation.

WOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
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
and carcinogenicity of several pesticides in common use will be
evaluated by using the modified host-mediated assay developed.

Regulation of Neural Distributicn of Lead '
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PFiOPCS:^ =,=S=ARCH. OUTLINE OB.,:CTIVcS AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEYVt'CRDS"
(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUH ABSTRACT.
Factors regulating the entry and distribution of inorganic lead in the nervous system
will be studied under control and selected abnormal conditions. In the guinea pig,
210t
45,
in vivo CSF perfusion will quantitate the disappearance rate of /luPb and _ Ca across
the blood-CSF barrier. The uptake of 2l°Pb and 45Ca across the blood-brain barrier
will be measured by an indicator dilution technique. These measurements will be
correlated with levels of lead and calcium attained in brain, meninges, choroid plexus
and ependyma. These indices will be determined for control animals and for animals
acutely lead-poisoned. The affinity of the neural tissues for lead and calcium in the
absence of an intact barrier will be assessed by measuring in vitro uptake and release
of 210pb and ^5Ca. This will be determined under control conditions; after inhibition
of general, oxidative and glycolytic metabolism; after changes in medium electrolyte
composition and after exposure to reagents that act as ligands. An effort will be made
to distinguish solute accumulation due to binding within neural tissue from that due to
movement across the tissue using excised bullfrog choroid plexus and meninges which can
be mounted 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 and release experiments in the same species. The behavior
of IQ^Cd, a non-neurotoxic metal, will also be observed in several of the above experi-
mental situations, so as to suggest patterns of uptake and distribution that are not
correlated with neurotoxicity. These studies will (a) establish how the disordered flow
of lead across neural barriers that we have noted in lead enceptialopathy contributes to
its pathogenesis; (b) allow development of predictive tests for neural toxicity of poten-
tial toxins and pollutants by testing their effects on barrier function.

Function of MetalIpthionein in Heavy Metal Metabolism
USE THIS SPACE TO ABSTRACT YOUR PROPOSED HESEARCH, OUTLINE OBJECTIVES AND METHODS. UNDERSCORE THE KEY WQRt
(NOTTOEXCEED tOI IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
The low molecular weight, cysteine rich protein, metal!othionein will be studied
under a variety of conditions in order to elucidate its function in heavymetal 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 energy 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' (both"
adults and neonates). The heavy metals of interest in this study are zjnc, copper,
cadmi ur,i, mercury, nickel, and thai! ium. Initially, these will be st udi edi' nd 1 v i dual 1
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.

We propose to examine the Joint 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 vail tubes with and.without the addition of aerosoln. 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.

(NOT TO EXCEED >0) IN YOUR ABSTRACT.
The proposed studies will evaluate the toxicity of arsine, a potential by-product of coa!
gasification technology, in tv:o experimental systems.
1. Human red cells will be exposed to arsine in vitro in order to determine the mechanism
of action of this hemolytic gas. In particular, the possibility that arsine hemolyzes the red cell
through production of free radicals or peroxides will be assessed.
2. The possible carcinogenic potential of arsine will be indirectly studied In E,
and mammalian tissue culture cell lines by evaluating whether asine interferes with DNA repair
processes as has been observed with its presumed end product arsenite.
In each of these studies the levels of intracellular and extracellular arsenic compounds
following arsine exposure will be measured and the results compared with parallel experiments
using similar levels of arsenite or, if indicated, arsenate.

(NOT TO EXCEED 10) IN YOUR ABSTRACT,
Lead is a ubiquitous toxic pollutant. The most serious manifestation of pediatric lead
poisoning is an acute encephalopathy. In addition, the rising burden of environmental lead
may be producing significant brain damage, without overt encephalopathy, in young 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
immature rat brain mitochondria. Within 2 days of feeding lead to 2 week old animals, respi*
tion with NAD-linked substrates is uncoupled, reflecting an increased state 4 rate. During
the subsequent 2 week pre-encephalitic period of lead feedings, both state 3 and A rates
become increasingly depressed. Cytochrome oxidase activity shows the same changes. These
effects are more significant in cerebellar than in cerebral hemisphere 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 brain is on
energy metabolism; specifically on sites in the ETC; and b) this effect is basic to the toxic
effects of lead. Experiments are designed to delineate the sites and mechanisms of action of
lead to learn more of the properties of the ETC in immature brain and of the pathogenesis 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 determine the extent to which DMA of chromosomes "binds aliyl 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 be used is a
epectroscopic one, optical detection of magnetic resonance, pdnr,, by means of
•which magnetic resonance transitions in photoexcited triplet states are detected
optically. A heavy atoq effect caused by mercury binding to an aromatic chromophore such
as a hetorocyclic base of DNA mafces the resulting triplet state a highly radiative trap
which is especially sensitive to odmr. The. odmr method thus selects the mercury-
perturbed chromophore which then can be identified by the magnetic resonance frequencies,
and other properties of the phosphorescent state. Selectivity by the heavy atom
effect Is especially good in DHA which normally is not highly luminescent. As a major
system for study, we intend to use Allium cepa for which cytologifcal data of chromo-
sonal aberrations of root cells caused by mercurial treatment exists.

The objectives of the proposed research, are; (a) to demonstrate tBe usefulness of and
further develop the Tradescantia somatic mutation test system as a qua.nttta.ttye. monitor
in environments containing known or suspected routagens; (b) to use special genetic clones
of Tradescantia to establish the relative mutageriicity of a limited number of inuLcujfens
(primarily in gaseous form), as to magnitude of effect, specificity of actton, and
possibility of reversion; (c) to look for evidence of genetic repair of DNA injury produced
by chemical mutagens and to look for possible threshold levels below which induced mutation
rate is negligible; and (d) to determine in greater detail the time and dose response for
several loci for one selected gaseous mutagen, comparing these with presently available
radiation data and with results observed in animal cells. Two different clones of Trades-
cantia (Clone 02 and Clone 4430), which are heterozygous for a flower petal color mutation,
will be used to develop an assay system for detecting mutagenic activity of airborne
environmental chemicals. During the next year, the development of standard conditions of
exposure will be continued and the effects of various environmental factors on the level
of response determined. Emphasis will be placed on obtaining precise dose-response curves
after treatment with different mutagens and to determine whether there is any evidence
for thresholds.

The study 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 use 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 were treated with gamma
radiation and mated to unirradiated females of the other strain to produce Fi hybrid
offspring. Tissue samples are obtained surgically and electrophoresis is conducted on
crude homogenates. This procurement contract will perform the electrophoresis on mouse
tissue samples from experiments conducted at NIEHS. The current experiment will provide
data on the induction of gene mutations induced by radiation and current plans are to
initiate tests using energy related chemicals.

(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 with substantive biological
studies. To facilitate the establishment of the relevant contacts,
seminar meetings with substantive speaker^ 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 bo 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
"facto r i a 1 cxp e r iments , (iii) construction of stochastic models
of biological phenomena like carcinogencsis and~jnuragones is. Some
relevant mathematical problems will also be studied.

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 en
appreciable fraction of pollutant is retained in long-lived components e.g. bone-seekers
such as lend. A sp-mi -Markov model for physiological kinetics generalizes this model.
By reprc"s"entirtg body burden as a stochastic integral of external dosage, it is often
possible to estimate the frequency, duration, and parameters of other integral
excecdance measures for body burden, thus to estimate the effects of environmental
quality standards on body burden variation. Physiological kinetic models for carbon
mondxide, for the lead-calcium system, and for cadrnj.ut.-r.lne. will be estimate-:! 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 b'm-den estimated. In this way it may prove possible to establish a better
rationale for environmental standards setting.

Epldenlolosical 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 organs, the host factory such as genetic susceptibility, aging, nutrition
and other host factors may be of paramount Importance.
Vitamin A is known to be 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 promotes infection and
the tunorigenes is of chemical carcinogens. The presence of this component not
only as an air pollutant but also in cigarette smoke 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 N02 for 5 hours. The role of Vitamin A in the respiratory tract will
be studied by both light and electron autoradiography with particular emphasis on
epithelial cell differentiation and metaplasic changes.

The heavy metal cadmium, a known environmental pollutant, has been implicated
a causative agent in the development of lung pathology. It has been suggested that
of the sites of cadmium toxicity is the oxidative metabolism of the pulmonary alveol
macrophage. At present, there is little known about the interaction of cadmium with
the alveolar macrophage under physiological conditions. It is the purpose of the pr
posed research, therefore, to study the tran^jAort-. intracellular distribution, and
accumul.ati.qn of cadmium by the pulmonary alyeoj.ar. macroyhage and to relate' the amoun
of cadjniun accumulated within the cells to alterations in physiological function.
port by macrcphage monolayers will be quantitated by the use of 1"9cadmium. The
cellular distribution of cadmium will be determined by measuring the radioactivity ,
present in the sub-cellular fractions (i.e., soluble cytoplasmic fraction, mitochond
microsomes, and membranes) obtained after cell homogenation and differential centri;

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
monkeys 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 ineciuinijsrns responsible for the deleterious effects of the pollutants.
Major pathogenctic and modifying factors of interest are: the role of lipid poro:-;iu:;ti on
in initiating darings; the induction of untioxidant defense mechanisms by continued ex-
posure and the .general phenomenon of adapy_a_t ion; the sites of impairment in pulmomry
alveolar macrophages and ccmpunents of the inmuine system in the lung; the sequence and
nature of lesions resulting in the development of chronic obstructive lung disease
(bronchi t is/emphysema ) and interstitial fibrosis.
An additional goal is to explore further the potential prophylactic value for'
human populations of dietary autioxidants such as yitoiiiin_j£.

This project is a study of approximately 230 persons who worked in a pilot oil
shale operation in Rifle, Colorado, through a retrospective mortality study
combined with cross-sectional morbidity examination to evaluate the several
morbidity aspects that may be associated with oil shale occupations. Mortality
due to 21 specific causes of death will be determined after an extensive follow-
up effort and the obtaining of death certificates of those determined to be
deceased. Observed deaths will be compared to expected to uncover excess deaths
due to a particular cause. Numerous indices of health will be assessed through
the physical examinations and health questionnaires administered to the living
members of the cohort.
Further activities tentatively include environmental exposure and medical
assessments of workers entering the industry.

porting research and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary is to be used for these purposes.
Coal liquefaction and gasification is an alternate energy technology which is
currently being explored and discussed for possible future use. The technology
has been developed and tested in several pilot plant operations within the last
twenty years. The health effect on workers from exposures found in this technology
have not-been w'ell defined, although coal gasification processes involve many of
the polycyclic hydrocarbons known to be carcinogenic. These environmental contaminants
are closely related to those from coke oven emissions where exposed workers have
been shown to have significantly increased risk of lung cancer. Coal liquefaction
processes involve pulverization of coal into fine dust; worker exposure to which
may result in coal worker's pneumoconiosis or related chest diseases.
The purpose of this project is to conduct an epidemiological study of coal lique-
faction and gasification workers to identify health risks associated with the
multitude of exposures found in the industry.

Pulmonary disease problems , particularly pneumoconioses and airway obstructive
diseases, could arise from exposure to pollutant gas emissions such as S02 and
2 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.
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
3team electricity generating plants who have had exposures to these pollutants
that varied in duration and intensity.
the process of collecting information on early disability and on mortality of
employees exposed to these air pollutants , data will also be obtained on neoplasms
°f 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 of lung impairments.

EPA in its CHESS report (1970-71) studied seven cities for community exposure to
different air contaminants. One community had a primary exposure to sulfur oxides
and particulates. EPA's epidemiological study has indicated that soluable and
insoluable sulfates have a more adverse effect on human health than particulates
or S02. 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
sulfates and sulfuric acid need further study in terms of exposure levels and
mortality experience.
The study proposed by FY 76 will determine exposures to a variety of soluable
and insoluable sulfates and sulfuric acid in a number of industries. These data
will be used to choose populations for mortality studies beginning in FY 77.

While hyperbaric medical research has a history of over 100 years, the recent
global energy crisis had added a note of urgency to the need for further research.
Since 1954, ten million acres of sea floor have been leased for fossil fuel
exploration. Plans are now underway to lease an equivalent amount of acreage
in the next 1-3 years. Not only will such plans require a very large increase
in the number of divers but the depths of planned leased areas are approaching
2000 feet. The capability to operate safely at such depths exceeds our medical
knowledge and at the same time requires the presence of divers to execute tasks
which are essential to the recovery of fossil fuels and minerals located on and
beneath the sea floor. Fnergy-related development of deep-water (super tanker)
ports and offshore power plants will also require the extensive use of divers.
Other nations have already recognized the need for identifying national priorities,
and regulations are currently in effect in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan.
It is clear that the expanding Federal sea floor leasing program obligates the
Government to protect the health and safety of divers to the same extent as workers
in other occupations. Extensive discussions and communication with representatives
of the major diving companies have revealed their interest in cooperating with NIOSH
in solving the problems facing the offshore diving industry.
In cooperation with ERDA, NOAA, and the National Heart and Lung Institute, one
project has been Initiated in this area which will provide a National plan for
diving related health research. This plan will be available in December 1975.

The overall objective of this project is to relate a defined chronic input
of petroleum ifn an interttdal environment to Biological changes on the
organism and community levels. The project will investigate oil seeps
along the Gulf of Alaska that provide long-term, low-level input of petroleum
into the intertidal environment and compare biological organisms of that
environment with those of an area that is not influenced by oil. The
chemistry of both the water and sediments will be investigated.

The broad objective of this program is to measure and predict change in a
grassland ecosystem as a function of meaningful environmental parameters. Insight
into the mechanisms of dynamic structural responses to pollution challenge 1s also
sought. This investigation represents an attempt to characterize the impact of
pollutants originating from a coal fired power plant on a total ecosystem. The
approach envisioned requires (1) the use of reasonably comprehensive models of
component populations of the ecosystems; (2) the use of appropriately structured
field and laboratory experiments; and (3) an evaluation of physiological and bio-
chemical functions that may serve as specific indicators or predictors of pollution
stress.
Broad categories of important functions that will be investigated include (1)
changes in productivity or biomass of ecosystem compartments; (2) changes in life-
cycle and population dynamic functions of "key" taxa; (3) changes in community
structure or diversity; (4) changes in nutrient cycling; (5) sublethal biochemical
or physiological changes in individuals or compartments; (6) behavioral changes in
mobile organisms; (7) changes 1n reproductive patterns.

During 1975, EPA operated a SOg fumigation system on a natural grassland site
in southeast Montana, in order to simulate the SO2 emissions from the Colstrip Coal-
fired Power Plant. Observations of the anatomical and physiological effects of the
fumigation system on two native lichen species, Parmelia chlorochrea and Usnea hirta.
made during the summers of 1975, now give an indication of the field characteristics
to anticipate when using these two lichen species as biological monitors of the power
plant plume in the Colstrip area during 1976.
The objectives of the 1976-77 work are to: 1) repeat and verify effects on
respiration rates, nitrogen and sulfur contents, and anatomical damage caused by the
SO2 fumigation, and to extend the experimental period; 2) complete mapping of the
lichen communities of the Colstrip area for tracing future emission effects; and
3) Examine Usnea from the Ponderosa pine sites and Parmelia chlorocheoa from grassland
sites to detect any possible effects of emissions during the first year of operation
of the poMrer plant.

The overall objective of this investigation is to provide predictive information
with regard to potential toxicants to the aquatic environment resulting from coal
and oil shale extraction and conversion. The specific objectives are to identify and
quantify those chemical products of coal and oil shale extraction and conversion
which may reach surface waters, and to determine by both field studies and laboratory
bioassays the degree to which those chemicals may be acutely or chronically toxic to
fish and aquatic invertebrates, or may become involved as part of the food chain.
Four categories of energy development will be considered: coal extraction, oil shale
extraction and processing, coal gasification, and coal-to-energy conversion. Potential
toxicants to the aquatic environment will be identified by a combination of field,
laboratory, and literature studies, as well as by information gained from cooperative
input from other energy-related research programs. Concurrent chemical and
biological laboratory and field bioassays as well as aquatic distribution studies will
dictate which toxicants are most deleterious to the aquatic biota. Feedback from
these bioassays and distribution studies will dictate what additional or alternate
emphasis is required in the laboratory and field chemical studies.

1) Objectives are to quantify the effects of coal leachate components on
species composition and structure of natural periphyton communities, to determine
the mechanisms of growth stimulation or inhibition by coal leachates relative to
leachate composition, to elucidate possible synergistic or antagonistic effects
among components of coal leaohates, and to relate all findings to the functioning
of natural aquatic ecosystems.
2) Bioassays will utilize periphyton communities growing on artificial
substrata in laboratory streams, Nutrients and/or toxins are metered into
inflow water at predetermined concentrations. V»ater chemistry analyses of
inflow and outflow water, cell counts of poriphyton algae, and chlorophyll and ash-
free dry weight determinations are conducted to assess the effects of both whole
coal leachates and Jeachate components.
3) Current work involves design, construction and testing of laboratory
streams for use in the bioassays.

The anticipated increase in the number of large coal handling facilities sug-
gests an investigation of some of the associated potential environmental hazards.
The present proposal deals specifically with the properties of organic materials
leached from the coal during storage and particulate matter which disperses from
the storage site into the surrounding area. The investigation is based on the con-
tinuing development of such facilities near sites of inexpensive water transporta-
tion such as those represented by the Superior Bay and Lake Superior.
A goal of this project would be to gain the knowledge necessary to predict
the potential problems from the accumulation of toxic or carcinogenic compounds
in an aquatic environment, whether by leaching or airborne sources, from a "per-
manent" and large source of coal. It is hoped that any dangers associated with
the possible formation of deleterious materials resulting from a subsequent ehlorina-
tion or ozonation of the organic content of a coal leachate can be properly assessed.
This latter consideration becomes important if the leachates become part of an
aqueous environment that will be exposed to chlorination or ozonation facilities.
In general any potential hazards resulting from the exposure and prolonged
contact of coal to the elements, i.e., like those conditions found in large coal
dock facilities, including sunlight irradiation as well as wind (airborne particu-
lates) and rain (leaching), will be appraised with meaningful suggestions as to
possible methods of control (i.e., location and design of physical facilities).

The purpose of the project is to determine the mass transfer and transformation of
biologically.significant material in the once-through cooling systems of a steam-
electric station that is operating on the western shore of Lake Erie.
Specific objectives include:
1. Measurements of mass transport of entrained phytoplankton, zooplankton
and fish larvae through the cooling system, and
2.. Determination of the effects on the periphyton and larger fish that
inhabit the system.
Studies up to now have included measurements of effect on water chemistry, zooplank
ton, phytoplankton, and fish larvae as the result of once-through cooling. To date the
changes in water chemistry are within the normal variance of the data, and there does
not appear to have been any significant effect on the water quality of the area adjacent
to the power plant. There have been occasional zooplankton mortalities and these
appear to have been related to chlorination. Effects on phytoplankton appear to have
been in the form of an increase in productivity. The investigators estimate that
300,000,000 fish larvae per year pass through the cooling system and are killed.

A comprehensive study is proposed of the occurrence of sulfur in particulate
and gaseous form in continental and marine areas of the eastern U.S.A. Emphasis will
be placed on the concentrations of sulfur 1n relation to other elements involved 1n
Its atmospheric transformation and transport and on the isotopic composition of sulfur
and oxygen 1n relation to isotopic characteristics of natural and pollution sources.
Sampling will be carried out as a function of particle size and time, so that the
elemental and Isotopic character of up to six size fractions may be determined
separately, and these relations may be determined sequentially over time intervals
as short as several hours. Sampling'-locations will consist of eight permanent stations
from east of the Continental livide to^the Eastern Seaboard and of Four temporary
stations, Including ships in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Great Lakes
downwind of major sulfur emission sources. Elemental analysis Is performed using
proton induced x-ray emission with nanogram sensitivity for sulfur, permitting
resolution of particles <• 0.25 ym diameter and time resolution over two hour sampling
Intervals. Isotopic analysis is performed using the new Micromass mass spectrometer
with very small sample handling attachment, permitting precise analysis on 100 yg
samples collected over 24 hour sampling periods with suitable cascade impactors. By
means of the combination of techniques, the impact of fossil fuel combustion and
other anthropogenic sources of sulfur on the natural characteristics of the atmosphere
may be precisely determined.

Grant No. 803078
The City of Denver experiences over 200 atmospheric inversions each year which
produce haze and decreased visibility over significant portions of Denver. In 1973,
the U.S. EPA began a research study to determine the cause and sources of this pollu-
tion problem. One important aspect of the study involves the identification of aerosol
collected from the atmosphere. In a previous preliminary study (1972), polarized light
microscopy was used successfully to identify many of the aerosol particles.
The goals of this current proposed study is to trace the sources of aerosol parti-
cles collected by the EPA and other agencies at a network of sampling stations, by
identifying the types of particles and comparing them to reference samples. The
particles will be characterized and identified by polarized light microscopy supple-
mented with scanning electron microscopy and mass spectrometry. The data from these
analyses will be correlated with meteorological and aerosol data to discover the
impact of individual sources in producing haze.

Grant No. 800665
This research will continue investigation of the effect of atmospheric aerosol
properties on visibility through parallel studies in several directly related areas.
Activities to date include development of the integrating nephelometer and studies with
it relating visibility to mass concentre ion, wavelength dependence of light scatter-
ing, spatial distribution of aerosol, hu dity, and aerosol chemical composition. In-
strument development has recently been completed 1n the last two areas and field ex-
perimentation will continue relating chemical composition of aerosols to their in situ
physical and optical response to increased humidity. We will continue with analysis
of data collected during the fall, 1972, California experiment during which we measured
the listed aerosol parameter and other groups measured aerosol size distribution,
atmospheric trace gas content, meteorological parameters, etc.
We will participate in a similar joint experiment in St. Louis in August and
September of this year. Our experimental goal is to gain further understanding of the
interrelationship of 1) the amount, composition and size distribution, 2) the role of
water, 3) optical properties of the atmospheric aerosol.
The past four years of research have practical significance based on both techni-
cal and scientific results. An integrating nephelometer based on our drawings and pa-
tents is being manufactured and is used widely both in scientific research and monitor-
ing visibility degradation. An analog computer circuit that calculates relative humid-
ity from temperature and dew point has been developed for use in our humidity research.
New sample collecting and data processing techniques developed in this group allow
identification of molecular components in urban smog. These techniques having been
proven in the laboratory will now be applied to the urban environment. It 1s vital to
have this broad spectrum approach to obtain a useful description of the causes of
denial, elc.>

OBJECTIVES: To test and adapt analytical methods for identification of oil in tissues
and eggs.
Evaluate the effects of oil on viability of eggs and on survival.
To assess the prevalence of oil ingestion by wild birds and relate tissue
levels of oil to damage and to assess the joint effects of oil and chemi-
cals on survival.
APPROACH: Realistic dietary dosage with measurements of egg production, fertility,
hatchability, and survival of chicks using ducks.
Adult male and female ducks will be fed sublethal and lethal dosages of
oil, with measurements of mortality, pathology, and blood enzymes.
Oil will be introduced artificially and also by light oiling of the incu-
bating hen.
Kinetics of oil will be followed when oil is ingested directly and when
it is obtained secondarily through food items.
Top priorities for assessment of joint oil and chemical action would be:
polychlorinated biphenyls, DDE, nickel, and vanadium.
A three year study program is anticipated with funding beginning in Fiscal
Year 75 and major implementation in Fiscal Years 76, 77, and 78.

OBJECTIVES: Development of an ecological characterization of Chenier Plain in the
coastal regions of Southwestern Louisiana and Southeastern Texas with
a predictive potential, evaluate methodology used for characterization,
and synthesize and disseminate information obtained.
The preliminary work will involve a determination of information needs,
preparation of tentative methodology, and segmentation of the character-
ization into workable study units. Study units will focus on geomor-
phology, economics and sociology, biology, and ecology of the coastal
ecosystem. Once study units have been formulated and defined, a plan
will be devised for accomplishing the objectives as detailed under each
study unit.
A deterministic simulation model will be developed as a part of the
characterization to provide predictive potential. Data assembled by
the various study units will provide input for the model. The simula-
tion model will provide to decision-makers and instrument with which
impacts can be quickly tested and evaluated. The model will also pro-
vide a system for identifying areas with data deficiences.
A manual will be published in popular form from the characterization
studies and serve as an atlas for users or decision-makers with interest
in the particular coastal ecosystem studied. The model will be con-
tinuously updated as additional Information is supplied by special
studies or from other sources.

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.
An issue of particular importance regarding the development of western energy re-
sources is its impact on the water resources of the region—water quality as well as
water supply—and the subsequent impact on fish, wildlife, and vegetation. The Forum
will concentrate on these impacts in the Upper Colorado Basin which is located in
parts of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. The intent of the Forum
is to bring together the results of the most recent research on the energy-related
impacts, and to identify specific potential fish and wildlife related problems and
delineate research needs.
Relevant questions to be addressed by the Forum include: What impact will the in-
evitable changes in the hydrologic regime of this region—both surface waters and
groundwaters—have on fish, wildlife, and vegetation? How is the existing riparian
habitat of this basin likely to change with energy development, and what impact will
these changes have on the fish and wildlife of the region? How can the region best
be managed to provide a suitable environment for fish and wildlife, with particular
consideration given to the need for, and establishment of, maintenance flows? More
broadly, what are the future ecological implications of developing the energy re-
sources of the Upper Colorado River Basin?
The Forum will be held in the summer of 1976 in the West, perhaps in Albuquerque
or Santa Fe. It will consist of the presentation of between 10 and 15 invited papers
and a formal discussion of each. Edited Proceedings of the Forum will be made avail-
able, to the sponsor after the Forum. Work has already begun on the organizational
aspects of the Forum.

cost-effective techniques for restoring mined coal land to productive end uses, a
Land Reclamation Laboratory program has been established at Argonne National Laboratory.
The purpose of this new facility is to conduct research and development programs focused
on near- and long-term reclamation problems in the four major U.S. coal resource regions
and to coordinate, evaluate, and disseminate the results of related studies conducted
at other research institutions. The activities of the Land Reclamation Laboratory
program will involve close cooperation' with industry.
Approach - A. The development, evaluation, and field testing of instrumentation and
monitoring systems for pre- and post-operational surveillance of reclamation activities
associated with coal mining operations. The program will include studies of data
acquisition systems, geophysical and ecological sample analysis techniques, and
techniques for integrated and automated mine site monitoring systems. These systems
will be field tested in conjunction with the field studies conducted as a part of the
ecosystems studies program.
B. An analytical and experimental program of engineering technology studies
aimed at: (1) Development of components and systems for implementing reclamation
operations, either during or after mining; (2) Development of mine-related environ-
mental control technology, with particular emphasis on mine refuse and waste disposal,
and the control of acid mine drainage, siltation, and soil erosion; (3) Development of
recycling technology for the utilization of gob, slurry, flyash, sanitary sludge, and
other waste products to promote land reclamation; (4) Development of equipment and
techniques for earthmoving, soil conditioning, tilling, and reseeding; and (5) Extention
and consolidation of information storage, retrieval, analysis and brokerage systems
related to surface mining effects and effects of energy related pollutants and techno-
logies on plants, animals, and freshwater ecosystems.

The impact of the colstrip fuel conversion operations on native range forage vegeta-
tion will be evaluated. Sample plots are located on the basis of probable impact from
airtcrne pollutants predicted from air models. Plant community characteristics, e.g.,
canopy cover, species diversity, growth and productivity, phenology, vigor will be
evaluated. Species specific productivity of the dominant vegetative communities will
be determined by replicate clipping of quadrats along permanent transects throughout the
growing season. Diversity will be based upon Simpson's i.ndex of diversity modified to
use cover rather than stem density. These vegetation study sites are located In mixerf
prairie grassland communities and pine-"woodland types, the dominant cover types in the
area.
Remote sensing information, along with the necessary ground truth data, Is expected to
provide evidence of significant changes in these plant communities. Multielement anal-
ysis will be carried out on plant and soil samples collected from these plots, and
chemical data on the pollutant content of plants and soils will be correlated with veg-
etative changes. Evidence of elemental enrichment processes 'n vegetation will beest-
imated from the significant changes observed in baselir -ota, as well as the data
collected on the composition and deposition rate of , r <-. aerosol.
During the 1975 growing season all sample plots were established and field measure-
ments completed as described above.

In the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange, summaries of work In progress are exchanged with government and private agenclei sup-
porting reiearch and are forwarded to investigators who request such information. Your summary la to be used for these purposes.
The objective 1s 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 1n cooling water. The engineering objective is to
provide design criteria for condenser piping and pumps that will minimize damages.
The approach 1s to pass test organisms through a simulated condenser cooling
system and to observe immediate and latent mortality, or behavioral changes that could
affect survival. Emphasis will be on the pump design 1n current experiments since
jrevlous work has concentrated on 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 primary impact v/ill be to the planktonic forrcs, i.e., phytoplankton, zooplankton,
eggs, larvae, that are drawn Into the water Intakes and pass through the plant. Other
sclents of the biota that will ba exposed to tnose biocides are the sessile tsntlric,
organisms and cor^umitics that are present in effluent canals or in areas affected fcy
tha effluent pluns. The oattern by which plants inject the anti-foulant varies from
plant to plant. Sorie plants use sinole high doses periodically, while others use low
levels continuously. In addition, the movement of the effluent pluwe can cause Inter-
mittent exposure to certain communities. This variability requires data on both
continuous and intermittent exposures.
The study planned has the major objective of filling the void of information In exis-
tence concerning the irwc-diate effects of these anti-foulant biocides to selected
ecosystems and associated organisms. The experiments will be designed to produce
realistic criteria for the protection, af marine arid coastal aquatic life likely to be
Impacted by these biocides. Exposures will be related to the potential exposure tires
in existinn power plants and effluent plur&s, and will range from minutes to hours.
Also, 24, 48, and SS-lir LC5U values v/ill be determined. Tha biocidas studied will

The principal objectives of this research program are to: (1) identify the chemical
forms of power plant effluents that are biologically active and the effects of physical
and chcniical parameters on these forms, £) determine combined effects of themal alt^ra-j
tloris and chemical effluents from power plants upon important attached estuarine and i
marine communities 11 kely to be inpacted, and (3) h(ilp develop realistic water quality
criteria for marine* and estuarine discharges released by power plants.
The research plan Includes transferring cornunitics of estuarine and marine oroanlsns
(colonized on portable artificial substrates) fron sites bainq considered as possible I
electrical encroy oeneratinf] plant locations in Washington and Oregon to ccnnunity !
study chambers located at the Sequim Karine Research Laboratory. At the laboratory, thej
cormunltles will be held at tholr natural salinity levels, and deteminations will be i
made of the synerglstlc, antagonistic or additive" effects of pcver plant effluents i
including heated water, chlorine, ozone, copper, cadmium, chromium, and other pertinent i
chemicals. The effects will be evaluated by comparing coraiunlty response 1n terms of j
wet and dry weight bionass, and species numerical and compositional variations as i
determined by indices of species evenness, richness, dominance, and affinity, teumltyi
respiration rates and pollutant accumulation rates, as influenced by the combined effects.
wlll also be examined. Follov/ing the laboratory studies, field validation at selected
operating plants will be conducted.

The proposed study would have the following objectives:
1. Examine the potential of marine organisms as models or predictive early indicators of
human toxicity to environmental agents through comparative marine-mammalian toxicitv
testing programs.
2. Evaluate the potential of marine organisms as major vectors of toxic environmental agents.
3. Evaluate comparative pharmacokinetic properties of marine species regarding their ability
to store, metabolize, and excrete environmental pollutants such as heavy metals.
The basic experimental approach would involve exposing marine shellfish to low concentrations
of arsenic, cadmium, or copper and then comparing the physiological, biochemical, end cellule,:

then be compared to equivalent concentrations administered in drinking water. Tissue concen-
trations of elements in both shellfish and treated laboratory animals will be determined by
proton-induced x-ray emission analysis.

The objective of this study is to determine the rate of recovery of a damaged
ecosystem on response to intensive remedial land treatment of a problem surface
mine. The study involves a watershed in which surface mining and unsuccessful
reclamation efforts in the early 1970's resulted in adverse environmental impacts.
Repeated attempts by the mine operator to revegetate the spoils by standard
treatments proved unsatisfactory.
Project objectives will be accomplished by measuring the degree of recovery of
affected terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems following application of the indicated
intensive remedial land treatment. Existing conditions will be measured and
evaluated prior to restorative treatment (data collected during the period of
mining and early reclamation efforts will help characterize previous conditions).
Monitoring will continue through treatment and thereafter on a more limited
basis as long as significant recovery is noted.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK- (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans 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.
The objective of this task is to provide basic data on representative important
benthic faunal and other species for ecosystem modeling and other recurring uses.
Data gathered on the major aquatic communities in the vicinity of eight coal-
fired steam plants from June 1973 through June 1975 will be reviewed for information
on abundance, growth rates, and duration of instars. Representative taxa will
be selected for further study in the laboratory and field.
The Water Quality and Ecology Branch has purchased some ecomodels used in
application to reservoirs. We have held discussions with anticipation of
refining these models and using them for predicting effects of energy tech-
nologies on semiriverine ecosystems such as the Tennessee River.
Considerable background literature and references have been collected to date.

The objective of this task is to provide data on the acute effects of thermal
plume entrainment on aquatic insects.
Some concern has been expressed that if drifting insects cannot successfully
negotiate passage through thermal plumes, the aquatic insect populations upstream
of a plant will be depleted as well as those downstream. Acute thermal effects
studies on freshwater insects will be conducted at representative TVA steam
electric stations and supplemented by "plop tests" in the laboratory. Other
environmentally related data have been and are being collected such as temperature,
light transmission, flow velocities, and numerous water quality parameters.
This study will add a new dimension to the existing aquatic ecological program.
Data from ongoing 3l6(a) monitoring will be beneficial in determining both the
areas to be studied and the representative important species present.

The objective of this task is to quantify the role of bioaccumulation in cycling
of trace elements (selected metals and radionuclides) released to aquatic ecosystems
by the thermal component of coal combustion and nuclear steam electric stations.
Studies have been conducted over the past several years on mollusk population
species distribution in Tennessee Valley Reservoirs in proximity to coal
combustion and operational nuclear facilities. We have a limited knowledge of the
use of mussels and macroinvertebrates as biological monitors of metals and organo-
chemical species.
We have considerable background literature on toxicity of power plant chemicals
to aquatic life. This research will further evaluate the use of mollusks and
other invertebrates for monitoring bioaccuraulation in the aquatic environment.

breeding sites will serve as a focus of annoyance to surrounding communities.
Emphasis will be placed on age classification of pools, physical and chemical
characteristics, and vegetation communities. The survey will employ the use of
several sampling techniques for both adult and larval forms of aquatic arthropods.
A preliminary reconnaissance is planned for September 1975 to determine the general
ecology of the likely study areas along with prevailing and potential habitats
favorable to the production of medically important arthropods.

Heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons are known to adversely affect marine
organisms, either on an acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) level.
Both are released and/or concentrated by energy development activities.
This project will provide for laboratory and field investigations of the
effects of these pollutants on marine organisms and the ecosystem. A
knowledge of the differential effects of various heavy metals and
petroleum hydrocarbon fractions on marine organisms and ecosystem is
essential for determination of the impact of energy development activities
on the marine environment.

1. Objective-
a. To assist the Environmental Protection Agency in developing environmental
control policies and implementation strategies for mitigating the adverse
impacts of Western energy resource development.
b. To assist EPA's Office of Research and Development in evaluating that portion
of its environmental research program dealing with the problems of Western
energy development.
c. To provide a balanced assessment of the full range of costs and benefits stemming
from alternative energy resource developments in the Western U.S. in order to
assist Federal and State planning for such development.
2. Approach-The project will produce three technology assessments-the latter two will
essentially update and expand on the first, preliminary assessment. Work will
concentrate on six resources-coal, oil shale, uranium, geothermal, oil and natural
gas-in thirteen Western states. Each assessment will consist of three phases-a
descriptive phase, designed to describe the region and the energy technologies under
investigation and begin to focus on the major issues and problems; an interactive
phase, which will determine the charges in the directly affected physical conditions-
such as emissions, population, etc.-caused by energy development; and an inteXgrative
phase, which will determine the impacts that result from the changes in conditions,
and will examine alternatives to mitigating the adverse impacts. Impact analysis
will be conducted both at a number of specific sites, and also on a regional level.
Policy analysis work will especially focus on environmental control strategies.
3. Progress-Work on the descriptive phase is almost complete.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK - (1) Objectives, (2) Approach, (3) Current Plans and/or Progress (200 words or less. Omit confident la 1 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.
This program will develop a methodology that can be utilized to perform cost/risk/
benefit assessments of alternative energy sources and to compare alternative
energy sources on a common scale It will permit an
assessment of the impacts of each stage of the entire fuel cycle, from extraction
through waste management, so that alternative energy sources may be compared more
effectively. Additionally, the methodology will allow incorporation of regional
restrictions or varying scenarios. The methodology will place heavy emphasis on
social impacts, environmental impacts and risks to public health, and will be respon-
sive to the assessment of all alternative energy sources, both nuclear and non-nuclear.
The need for the development of such a methodology is based on the following:
1. Very few attempts have been made to quantify risks associated with the pro-
duction of energy or to factor these risks into a cost/risk/benefit analysis.
2. Very little published work is available on the quantification of environ-
mental impacts and social impacts into common units that would allow the balancing of
these impacts against other impacts.
3. A comprehensive survey of the state of cost/risk/benefit methodology needs
to be made to identify areas of deficiency.
4. The specific methods used to analyze each particular stage of the fuel cycle
for each of the types of impact need to be combined into a general methodology which
can, to the extent possible, express all impacts in terms of a common scale index.

This will be a first generation method for balancing benefits to the Western States
and to the nation with the estimated costs (economic, other social, health and other
environmental) of fuel extraction, processing, transportation, conversion, utilization
and transmission. The method will provide for inputs of primary, secondary, and
derivative impacts as well as flexibility of inputting social perceptions and value
scales for weighing these impacts. There will be specific coordination with proposed
EPA integrated technology assessment of Western energy development and its method-
ologies.

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: (l) 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.

Output Summary;
The outputs are demonstration of and reports on the application of computer
graphics to environmental analysis of single and combined nuclear, fossil,
and hydroelectric energy systems. This will include but not be limited to
operation with large data bases covering a broad range of planning variables:
Limited-area spatial data bases with topography, land cover, ownership,
constrained areas (endangered species, karst geology, etc.), biological
data, and air and water quality data. Multi-media residual impact models
and control technology cost models will be "driven by" a multiplant electric
power system simulation model, which is in turn driven by a socioeconomic
(including demand forecasting; model, to provide rapid intelligence for
planning, siting, and operating a regional energy system.

1. The study focuses on analyzing the primary and secondary socio-economic impacts
of expanded surface mining of coal and the development of oil shale on agri-
culture, non-metro areas, rural people, rural communities, rural industries,
and environmental quality. Significant aspects of the overall study include:
assessing current resource use; estimating direct and secondary employment
changes induced by energy development; analyzing population changes; estimating
changes in community infra-structures, changes in demand for community services,
and revenue needs and revenue potentials for impacted communities; evaluating
reclamation costs and social and economic feasibility of alternative uses of
reclaimed areas; appraising the effect of alternative development and processing
activities on water demands and transfers; and the effect of institutions on
coal and oil shale development. A major effort is to develop an analytical
system to evaluate interregional economic and environmental implications and
trade-offs for agricultural and rural areas.
2. Data will be collected primarily from secondary sources and analyzed using
accepted procedures including partial budget analysis and linear programming.
Some methodology development is required.
3. Research will be coordinated with other USDA agencies and with universities
and other institutions. Cooperative relationships are to be established and
cooperative agreements or contracts are to be developed, though a major portion
of the effort will be in-house.
