Re-opener a permit condition that requires the permitting authority, at a specified time after permit issuance, to review and revise, if necessary, the permit based on new information such as the findings from post-construction monitoring, updated emissions inventories, updated modeling, research, or information on air pollution effects to terrestrial, aquatic, and visibility resources. [Pg.545]

Numerous studies confirmed ubiquity of several antibiotics (i.e., ofloxacin, trimethoprim, roxythromycin, and sulfamethoxazole) in sewage influent, though at low ng level [8, 13, 14]. However, even at very low concentrations they can have significant ecotoxicological effects in the aquatic and terrestrial compartment [15, 16]. Indiscriminate or excessive use of antibiotics has been widely blamed for the appearance of so-called super-bugs that are antibiotic-resistant. It is of crucial importance to control their emissions into the environment through more cautious utilization and monitoring outbreaks of dmg-resistant infections. [Pg.201]

The use of terrestrial invertebrates as sentinel organisms has been suggested for monitoring lead. The spider Araneus umbricatus, for example, contained lead body burdens that correlated with that in a lichen (Lecanora conizaeoides) that is used to monitor atmospheric lead (Clausen 1984). Similarly, the woodlouse (Porcellio scaber) seems to reflect lead concentrations in adjacent soil or leaf litter (Hopkin et al. 1986). [Pg.251]

Initiation of long-term environmental monitoring studies in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems to establish appropriate baseline concentrations and to separate these from contaminant effects (Kum-plainen and Koivistoninen 1977 WHO 1980 Hall and Pinkney 1985 Thompson et al. 1985). [Pg.625]

A miniaturized MB spectrometer MIMOS II was developed for the robotic exploration of Mars, where it provided fundamental information about mineralogical composition and alteration processes, helped to classify rocks and soils, aided geologic mapping, was instrumental in assessing habitability of past and present environments, and identified potential construction resources for future human explorers. The applicability of the instrument as a process monitor for oxygen production and prospecting tool for lunar ISRU has been demonstrated. The characterization of air pollution sources and the study of mixed-valence materials as a function of depth in soil are examples of terrestrial in situ applications. MIMOS lla with additional XRF capability will open up new applications. [Pg.301]

Terrestrial BMOs have also been widely used for monitoring environmental contaminants. In particular, the lipid-like waxy cuticle layer of various types of plant leaves has been used to monitor residues of HOCs in the atmosphere. However, some of the problems associated with aquatic BMOs apply to terrestrial BMOs as well. For example, Bohme et al. (1999) found that the concentrations of HOCs with log KoaS < 9 (i.e., those compounds that should have attained equilibrium) varied by as much as 37-fold in plant species, after normalization of residue concentrations to levels in ryegrass (Lolium spp.). These authors suggested that differences in cuticular wax composition (quality) were responsible for this deviation from equilibrium partition theory. Other characteristics of plant leaves may affect the amount of kinetically-limited and particle-bound HOCs sampled by plant leaves but to a lesser extent (i.e., <4-fold), these include age, surface area, topography of the surface, and leaf orientation. [Pg.7]

Exposure Levels in Environmental Media. Environmental monitoring data are not available or are of questionable accuracy for water, soil, and air. These data would be helpful in determining the ambient concentrations of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine so that exposure estimates for the general population could be made as well as 1,2-diphenylhydrazine exposure estimates for terrestrial and aquatic organisms. [Pg.56]
