IOM Issues Report on Breast Cancer and the Environment

چکیده
The “Flume Room” The University of Michigan has created a specialized laboratory containing 150 artificial mini-streams, or “flumes,” that mimic a variety of river conditions as closely as possible. The flumes are populated with rocks, sediment, biota, and more than 3,000 gallons of water from the Huron River. The goal is to better understand how different stressors—nutrient and chemical pollution, exotic species, species extinctions, climate change, and erosion, for instance—affect river health and “ecosystem services” provided by the Huron such as pollutant decomposition and oxygen production.
