For any pollutant, air quality criteria may refer to different types of effects. For example. Tables 22-1 through 22-6 list effects on humans, animals, vegetation, materials, and the atmosphere caused by various exposures to sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and lead. These data are from fhe Air Quality Criteria for these pollutants published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 

Chemical analyses of seawater are uniquely difficult given the poorly known speciation and the low concentration of many of the analytes of interest. Analyses of suspended and sedimentary marine particulate materials present their own distinct challenges, primarily due to potential interference by predominant mineral phases of different types (e.g., opal, carbonate, and aluminosilicate). Of all the analytical methods applied to marine waters and particles, at present only a small fraction can be systematically evaluated via comparison to reference materials that represent the appropriate natural concentrations and matrices. 

Sediment reference materials should be developed for both open-ocean and coastal areas. Open-ocean sediments should include carbonate-rich, silicate-rich, and clay mineral-rich types. Coastal sediments should be of the same types and should include a deltaic sediment that has not been in contact with seawater. Taken together with the algal-based materials, these sediment materials would represent a wide range of diagenetic states. The committee recommends that each of these solid... 

Reference materials that represent the primary deep-sea and coastal depositional environments and biological materials would solve many of the problems that radiochemists face in analysis of sediments from these settings. Radiochemists require reference materials comprising the primary end member sediment and biological types (calcium carbonate, opal, and red clay from the deep-sea and carbonate-rich, silicate-rich, and clay mineral-rich sediments from coastal environments and representative biological materials). Additional sediment reference material from a river delta would be valuable to test the release of radionuclides that occurs as riverine particles contact seawater. 

By defined heating of the second stage, each temperature between 4 K and 100 K can be adjusted. The reference cryosorption material is a coconut-shell-based, highly activated granular charcoal (CHEMVIRON CARBON, type SC-II, US mesh size 12x30), with the sample masses being about 2.5 g.

Solid-state C NMR spectra of oil shales, obtained by CP/MAS with high-power decoupling are broad because of the multitude of resonances from the different carbon types found in these complex materials. A number of af roaches have been taken to improve the resolution of solid-state NMR of fi il fuels. Such tedmiques include variable temperature studies, variable frequency studies, mathematical enhancements and deconvolution techniques, and relaxation rate methods. The most popular method of enhancing solid-state NMR spectra is a relaxation rate method called dipolar dephasing (DD), which is sometimes referred to as interrupted decoupling. The exploitation of relaxation methods in CP NMR of fossil fuels has been reviewed elsewhere. ... 

STRESS RAPTURE - A general type of damage referring to carbon steel tubing, when heated above 450°C. Material will plastically deform (creep) and then rapture. 

Also investigating surface textiles electrodes, Pylatiuk et al. (2009) compared five different conductive materials three types of silicone rubbers loaded with carbon or other nanoparticles, silver-coated polyamide yams and a flexible thermoplastic elastomer loaded with silver-coated glass microspheres. The results of the test electrodes were compared with those of a standard Ag/AgCl gel electrode. It was found that the silicone mbbers and the coated polyamide yams gave results comparable to the reference gel electrodes. The nanoparticle-loaded silicone mbber gave very favourable results with the ability to be used dry and a signal to noise ratio better than the gel electrode reference. 

Carbon nanotubes (lijima, 1991 Dresselhaus et al., 1996) are a specific type of one-dimensional nanomaterial that has sparked people s imaginations. A cover story in American Scientist magazine a few years ago noted that carbon nanotubes could be used to build a space cable connecting the Earth and moon. News from NASA indicates that, in the near future, spacecraft may be based solely on carbon material—powered by either fuel cells based on carbon materials or lithium-iron batteries based on nanomaterials. Carbon materials also were featured very prominently in the recent national nanotechnology initiative and were mentioned in the President s State of the Union address, in which he referred to carbon nanotubes as a thousand times stronger than steel. 

Figure 7.2 C DPMAS NMR spectra of the three humic fractions isolated from a peat soil using the procedure outlined in Figure 7.1. Carbon-type distributions generally used to describe samples are aliphatic (0-50 ppm), carbohydrate (50-110 ppm), aromatic (110-190 ppm) and carboxyl (190-220 ppm). Elemental data [6] are average elemental compositions for each humic fraction. Functional group analyses are for these specific samples [7]. There is considerable variation in these chemical characteristics among samples, and between environments, for each fraction. For descriptions of compositional variations in humic materials from different environments the reader is referred to the references [1-5].
