Chemical Exposure Facility Core

项目摘要-化学暴露设施核心(CXC) 由Kim Anderson领导的化学暴露设施核心(CXC)提供被动采样设备 (PSD)和分析服务，以促进环境健康科学。EHS CC的成员将申请 PSD和我们的分析方法，为社区等利益相关者提供决策支持 组织、制造商、监管机构、立法者、非政府组织、医疗保健提供者和制药公司。 准确评估一个人接触环境毒物的广度是这一挑战的核心 研究对环境健康的影响。CXC为1500多种有机物质提供直接分析方法 并通过我们额外的校园资源促进额外的化学分析。缺乏 低成本、易用的个人抽样技术阻碍了流行病学研究，特别是在 弱势群体。在过去的几年里，与OSU和EHS合作，核心中心的投资已经建立 个人采样腕带技术，具有独特的分析方法。我们做了这些投资， 特别是因为公共卫生教师和社区合作伙伴对其广阔的潜力充满热情 以填补公共卫生领域的一个关键空白。我们的无源腕带采样器是为了提供相关的、 化学生物可用暴露的可量化评估。所述被动式采样平台包括 腕带将为中心研究人员提供新的关键资源进行测量奠定基础 有机化学品是化学品暴露的关键组成部分。超过1,500种挥发性和半挥发性 有机化学品是可以量化的。通过我们的核心，与综合健康科学合作 设施核心和社区参与核心，我们加强和促进许多合作伙伴关系和 使用分析方法和被动采样/腕带平台的协作努力 将研究人员、公共卫生专家、社区组织和公民 在一起。被动采样者自然会促进协作研究关系和跨学科团队。 中心将为中心调查员和研究参与者及其社区提供新颖和适当的 我们腕带数据的数据可视化。CXC将提取和分析化学混合物，从而使 EHS CC成员测量环境毒物的浓度。

PROJECT SUMMARY - Chemical Exposure Facility Core (CXC) The Chemical Exposure Facility Core (CXC), directed by Kim Anderson, supply passive sampling devices (PSDs) and analytical services to advance environmental health science. Members of the EHS CC will apply PSDs and our analytical methods to provide decision support for stakeholders such as community organizations, manufacturers, regulators, legislators, NGOs, health care providers, and pharmaceutical firms. Accurately assessing the breadth of a person's exposures to environmental toxicants is central to the challenge of studying environmental health effects. The CXC offers directly analytical methods for over 1,500 organic chemicals and facilitates additional chemical analyses through our additional campus resources. The lack of low cost, easy-to-use personal sampling technology hinders epidemiological studies, especially in disadvantaged populations. Over the last several years with OSU and EHS Core Center investments have built personal sampling wristband technology with unique analytical methods. We made these investments, specifically because Public Health faculty and Community partners were enthusiastic about its broad potential to fill a key gap in Public Health. Our passive wristband sampler was developed to provide a relevant, quantifiable assessment of chemical bioavailable exposure. The passive sampling platform including wristbands will form the foundation for providing new and critical resources for Center researchers to measure organic chemicals that are a crucial component of the chemical exposures. Over 1,500 volatile and semi-volatile organic chemicals can be quantified. Through our core, in partnership with the Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core and Community Engagement Cores, we enhance and stimulate many partnerships and collaborative efforts using the analytical methods and passives sampling/wristband platform as the gravitational force that bring researchers, public health experts, community organizations and citizens together. Passive samplers naturally stimulate collaborative research relationships and interdisciplinary teams. The Core will provide center investigator and study participants and their communities, novel and appropriate data visualization of our wristband data. The CXC will extract and analyze chemical mixtures, thereby enabling EHS CC members to measure concentrations of environmental toxicants.
