ABSTRACT
0216531
John
Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) seeks NSF support for the acquisition of a gas chromotograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The proposed GC/MS will include peripherals to enhance and supplement the research abilities of the department. Research interests in the following areas would benefit immediately:
Hydrocarbon characterization in the ambient urban atmosphere and the evaluation of voc/n0x ratios in Corpus Christi.
Characterization of sorption and interphase mass-transfer of complex mixtures and their constituents for use in risk and remedial applications.
Research project to evaluate potential fruit and nut organic compound bio-accumulation near contaminated groundwater sites.
Control of ozone precursors using an enhanced oxidation - biofiltration technology .
Innovative biofilter designs for chlorinated compound and dioxin precursor air emission control.
Surrogates for dioxins furans monitoring from combustion emissions.
