Characterization of lipopolysaccharides present in settled house dust.
The 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OHFAs) in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) play an important role in determining endotoxin activity, and childhood exposure to endotoxin has recently been associated with reduced risk of atopic diseases. To characterize the 3-OHFAs in house dust (HD), we used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to assay 190 HD samples. Dust from beds, bedroom floors, family rooms, and kit...
متن کاملA new exposure metric for traffic-related air in settled indoor house dust
Background: Exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) can adversely impact health but epidemiologic studies are limited in their abilities to assess long-term exposures and incorporate variability in indoor pollutant infiltration. Methods: In order to examine settled house dust levels of hopanes, engine lubricating oil byproducts found in vehicle exhaust, as a novel TRAP exposure measure...
متن کاملCoal-Tar-Based Parking Lot Sealcoat: An Unrecognized Source of PAH to Settled House Dust
Despite much speculation, the principal factors controlling concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in settled house dust (SHD) have not yet been identified. In response to recent reports that dust from pavement with coal-tar-based sealcoat contains extremely high concentrations of PAH, we measured PAH in SHD from 23 apartments and in dust from their associated parking lots, on...

متن کاملAnalytical method development for 18 pesticides in house dust and settled residues using SEC, SPE, TMS methylation, and GC-MS.
An analytical method is developed to analyze eighteen pesticides in carpet dust and also dust that has settled on surfaces in order to determine the potential exposure of children to pesticide residues. For nonacid pesticides, the extract after centrifugation and filtration is cleaned up using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and then analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a mass s...
