Comparison of the uptake of dioxin-like compounds by caged channel catfish and semipermeable membrane devices in the Saginaw River, Michigan
Article Abstract:
The reproductive problems arising in a variety of fish-eating mammals and birds in Saginaw River, MI are conjectured to have been caused by high concentrations of planar, halogenated hydrocarbons. In order to analyze the the dioxin-like toxicity in the river and to estimate its concentrations, researchers compared resultant data from an experiment using a semipermeable membrane device, an assessment of bioconcentrations in co-exposed, caged channel catfish, and sediment-based water sampling method.

Automated HPLC fractionation of PCDDs and PCDFs and planar and nonplanar PCBs on C18-dispersed PX-21 carbon
Article Abstract:
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans and chlorobiphenyl congeners were separated in fractions using a new technique involving HPLC columns with PX-21 activated carbon and an automated HPLC autoinjector-fraction collector. The method was shown to be an effective, cost-effective technique for producing discrete fractions. In addition, the system is shown to be extremely flexible for different applications.

Use of the semipermeable membrane device as an in situ sampler of waterborne bioavailable PCDD and PCDF residues at sub-parts-per-quadrillion concentrations
Article Abstract:
The levels of contamination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans in Bayou Meto, AR, were measured using semipermeable membrane devices. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques were used to analyze the samples. There were higher levels of contamination in the downstream sites, agreeing with previous results.
