PacIOOS Water Quality Sensor Partnership Program 007: Dausokele Estuary, Pohnpei, FSM

The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed point locations. The PacIOOS Water Quality Sensor Partnership Program (WQSPP) supports scientists and natural resource managers to collect water quality data in order to inform research, conservation, planning, and resource management projects in the U.S. Insular Pacific region. Comprised of a network of "roving" water quality nearshore sensors, the WQSPP provides participating partners with sensors, data management, and technical capacity-building to allow for robust data collection. As part of the WQSPP, the Conservation Society of Pohnpei (CSP) deployed a nearshore sensor 170 meters northeast of the Pohnpei International Airport runway within Dausokele Estuary within the lagoon along the northern shores of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The sensor package was mounted to the sea floor at approximately 9.5 meters depth. Data were recorded every 8 minutes. Land-based sedimentation can have severe impacts on the surrounding watersheds, compromising the water quality and the coastal habitat of coral reefs and fish. Inland development activities have purportedly increased in recent years, prompting the need to monitor sediment run-off from key watersheds. Measuring water quality conditions with an accurate sensor will allow CSP to better understand the variations in water quality during different weather conditions, especially periods of heavy rain.

The PacIOOS Water Quality Sensor Partnership Program (WQSPP) supports scientists and natural resource managers to collect water quality data in order to inform research, conservation, planning, and resource management projects in the U.S. Insular Pacific region. Comprised of a network of "roving" water quality nearshore sensors, the WQSPP provides participating partners with sensors, data management, and technical capacity-building to allow for robust data collection. nss_wqspp_004 was located within the Kewalo Basin Harbor channel entrance approximately 85 meters from Point Panic just offshore of the Kewalo Marine Laboratory of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Kewalo Basin is located along Oahu's South Shore, situated between Kaka'ako Waterfront Park to its north and popular Ala Moana Beach Park to its south. The sensor package was mounted to the sea floor at approximately 1.5 meters depth. As part of the WQSPP, the Friends of Kewalos (FOK) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to receive a PacIOOS nearshore sensor for a limited time. The non-profit organization, whose mission is to protect and preserve Kewalo Basin Park, used the sensor to monitor water quality conditions before and during a construction project in Kewalo Basin Harbor. The Kewalo Basin Pier Repair-Improvement and Boat Slip Addition had the potential to stir up bottom sediments and alter the water quality conditions within the basin and the channel entrance with potential impacts on nearshore and offshore ocean users.

2001 County Business Patterns: Business Patterns

County Business Patterns (CBP) is an annual series that provides economic data by industry at the U.S., State, County and Metropolitan Area levels. This series includes the number of establishments, employment during the week of March 12, first quarter payroll, and annual payroll. CBP provides statistics for businesses with paid employees for the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas. Census Bureau staff identified a processing error that affects selected data from the 2014 County Business Patterns (CBP). As a result, we suppressed 2014 employment and payroll totals in the Health Care and Social Assistance sector (Sector 62) for the following geographies: U.S.; Michigan; Battle Creek, MI metro area; Calhoun County, MI; and the 3rd congressional district of Michigan. This processing error did not affect other sectors. While suppressed values can be derived by subtraction, we do not recommend using the derived values in any analyses.  The Census Bureau plans to release revised statistics at a later date.

A Framework for Prioritizing Chemicals in Retrospective Ecological Assessments: Application to a Great Lakes Area of Concern

Anthropogenic activities including industrialization, urbanization, and agriculture have resulted in frequent detection of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) across Great Lakes tributaries. Thus, there is a need to identify CECs of high and low ecotoxicological concern to help focus risk assessment and regulatory efforts. Here we present a weight-of-evidence framework developed to prioritize organic contaminants detected within the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern (AOC) (Milwaukee, WI). Chemical prioritization was carried out using experimental data (in vivo, in vitro, and analytical data) generated in 2017 -2018 Milwaukee AOC caged-fish studies, and chemical-specific data collated from US EPA databases (CompTox Chemicals Dashboard, ECOTOXicology Knowledgebase, ToxCast database) and/or estimated using quantitative structure-activity relationships. Overall prioritization was based on multiple lines of evidence: Detection Characteristics (spatial frequency, temporal frequency, environmental distribution), Environmental Fate (persistence, bioaccumulation, biomagnification), Ecotoxicological Potential (exceedence of water quality, in vivo, and in vitro toxicity benchmarks), and Effect Covariance (covariance with effects in caged fish studies). Results indicated within the Milwaukee Estuary AOC, 19/83 CECs were high priority, 13/83 were low priority, and 19/83 were data limited, requiring further investigation for prioritization efforts. Overall, this study presents an effect-based weight-of-evidence strategy that can be employed for CEC prioritization, and highlights several chemicals of ecotoxicological interest within the Milwaukee Estuary AOC.

Sex-specific respiratory and systemic stress effects of acute acrolein and trichloroethylene inhalation

Employing acrolein, a potent airway irritant, and TCE, with low irritancy, authors hypothesized that airway injury and inflammation would be involved in eliciting neuroendocrine-mediated systemic alterations. Male and female Wistar-Kyoto rats were exposed nose-only to air, acrolein or trichloroethylene (TCE) in incremental concentrations over 30 min, followed by 3.5-hr exposure to the highest concentration (acrolein - 0.0, 0.1, 0.316, 1, 3.16 ppm; TCE - 0.0, 3.16, 10, 31.6, 100 ppm) while performing head-out plethysmography (HOP), and animals were necropsied immediately post-exposure to assess nasal and lung injury/inflammation, systemic neurohormones, circulating stress hormones and also metabolic hormones.

Tapwater Exposures, Effects Potential, and Residential Risk Management in Northern Plains Nations Bioassay Summary Data

ABSTRACT: In the United States (US), private-supply tapwater (TW) is rarely monitored. This data gap undermines individual and community risk management decision making, leading to increased probability of unrecognized contaminant exposures in rural and remote locations that rely on private wells. We assessed point-of-use (POU) TW in three Northern Plains Tribal Nations, where ongoing TW arsenic (As) interventions include expansion of small community water systems and POU adsorptive-media treatment for remote homes   participating in the ongoing Strong Heart Water Study. TW samples from 34 private-well and 22 public-supply sites were analyzed for 3 field parameters, 476 organics, 34 inorganics, and 3 in vitro bioactivities. Health benchmark weighted cumulative Hazard Indices (HI) and ratios of organic contaminant in vitro exposure-activity cutoffs were assessed for detected contaminants. Sixty-three organics and 30 inorganics were detected in TW. Arsenic, uranium (U), and lead (Pb) were detected in 54%, 43%, and 20% of samples, respectively. Concentrations equivalent to public supply Maximum Contaminant Level(s) (MCL) were exceeded only in untreated private-well samples (As 47%, U 3%). Precautionary health based HI screening levels were exceeded frequently and attributed primarily to inorganics in private supplies and chlorine  -based disinfection byproducts (DBP) in public supplies. The results support ongoing interventions to reduce TW As exposures and indicate that simultaneous exposures to other co-occurring TW contaminants are common, warranting consideration of expanded source, point-of-entry (POE), or POU treatment(s). This study supports the need for increased monitoring of private-well TW employing a broad, environmentally informative analytical scope to reduce the risks of unrecognized contaminant exposures and to identify possible additional targets for simultaneous TW risk mitigation (e.g., U, Pb, DBP in this study).
