Perchlorate is a widely-used component of solid fuel, missile and rocket propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. It has been shown to reduce iodide uptake into the thyroid gland. The EPA has found Perchlorate contamination in 18 states and believes contamination may exist in as many as 39 states. In early January 2005, the National Academy of sciences, in an EPA-sponsored study, recommended a ...

The overall goal of this proposed program (through Phase III) is to provide the municipal water authorities and the EPA with a chemical sensor that can be multiplexed into water distribution systems to provide early warning of poisoned water supplies. This will be accomplished by developing surface-enhanced Raman (SER) sensors that can be integrated into water supply systems and coupled to a cent ...

Surface water quality impacts associated with intensive, largescale poultry production are significant and pervasive in many parts of the country. Production Specialities, Inc. (PSI) has developed process technology for converting waste (poultry litter and manure) into commercial eneefty and chemical products. While major technical problems have been successfully resolved, economic perforamcne o ...

Ciencia, Inc., proposes to develop an innovative biosensor system for near real time, online monitoring of water for the presence of pathogens and biotoxins. The proposed optical biosensing approach possesses a unique combination of features that makes it ideal for meeting the requirements of a water analysis system. Notably: (1) it does not require the use of labels for detection (such as fl ...

This will be accomplished by developing surface-enhanced Raman (SER) sensors that can be integrated into water supply systems and coupled t ...

A large variety of solid waste streams are available for conversiont to useful energy, including solid municipa waste (MSW), woody by-products, myriads of farm and agriculture by-products, waste tires, and low-quality fuel sources. All such feedstocks can be converted to useful clean energy using gasification technology. Keeping these materials out of a landfill is both economically and environm ...

NanoBio Corporation¿s antimicrobial nanoemulsion technology was developed by Dr. James R. Baker at the University of Michigan Medical School over a period of seven years. Reschard was funded by grants for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Program Agency), which identified a need to have a non-toxic, non-corrosive biodefence decon material that can decontaminated equipment, personnel, structures, ...

The overall goal of this proposed program (through Phase III) is to provide the EPA with a chemical sensor thatn can be multiplerxed into water distributon systems to provide early warning of poisoned water supples. This will be accomplished by developing surface-enhanced Raman (SER) sensors than can be integrated into water supply systems and coupled to a central Paman analyzer via fiber optics. ...
