This study investigated the relationship between levels of trace metals in the microlayer, bulk water and atmosphere in the Southern Lake Michigan area. Microlayer and subsurface water were collected daily using ultra-clean techniques from sites offshore from Chicago, IL during three different surveys ...

[Supplement References 43], all Lake Michigan fish-eater cohorts, we used the Schantz and Widholm [Supplement References 73] reported serum PCB congener proportions data on Lake Michigan fish eaters, which yielded a weighted MW of 369. For Hertz-Picciotto et al. [Supplement References 35], ...
Pollutants found in the water and air environment represent an ever-growing threat to human health. Contact with some air-, water- and foodborne pathogens (e.g. norovirus) results in gastrointestinal diseases and outbreaks. For future risk mitigation, we aimed to measure people’s awareness of ...
