We report a novel sensor-based high throughput screening (HTS) system for identification and quantitation of volatile substances in combinatorial chemical libraries. The measurement method employs a combination of a periodic introduction of a minute

To test for low-temperature microbial aerobic PCB degradation, water-saturated samples of PCB-contaminated upper Hudson River sediment spiked with Aroclor 1242 were incubated at 4 °C for several months. Principal components analysis of the PCBs, qua

We recently demonstrated a strategy for stimulating or priming the indigenous microorganisms to dechlorinate weathered PCBs in sediments, but the dechlorination exhibited a very narrow para-dechlorination specificity. We tested the priming activity o

2,3,4,5,6-Pentachlorobiphenyl (23456-CB) primes a broad specificity meta-dechlorination (Process N) of Aroclor 1260 in Housatonic River sediments. We hypothesized that 23456-CB acts as an electron acceptor and could be used to selectively enrich PCB-

In contrast to the degradation of penta- and hexachlorobiphenyls in chemostat cultures, the metabolism of PCBs by Alcaligenes sp. JB1 was shown to be restricted to PCBs with up to four chlorine substituents in resting-cell assays. Among these, the PC

We have determined complete polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener assignments and weight percent distributions for all major (> 0.5 wt %) PCB components of Aroclors 1221, 1232, 1242, 1016, 1248, 1254, 1260, 1262 that are resolved by DB-1 (polydimet

Although aerobic microbial biodegradation of polychlorirated biphenyls (PCBs) has been widely demonstrated in the laboratory, there is little direct evidence that this process occurs naturally in the environment. A clear indicator of naturally occurr

Internal Standardization and Calibration Architectures for Chemical Sensors.
An array of four acoustic wave chemical sensors has been developed and tested for recognition and quantitation of six closely related chlorinated organic vapors at low part-per- million concentrations. These vapors include PCE, TCE, VC, and DCE, cis-

PCB-contaminated sediments from the Housatonic River have accumulated in Woods Pond, a shallow impoundment on the river located in Lenox, MA. We used GC/ECD analysis to determine the PCB congener distributions in 181 sediment samples from 94 location

The polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment and/or fish samples from at least five different locations show changes in gas chromatographic (GC) peak distribution indicative of reductive dechlorination. Several different dechlorination processes,
