Citizen Science sensor measurements to support frequently asked questions (FAQ)

This file has two sheets. Data are measurements by Citizen Science Air Monitors (CSAM) and Federal Monitors, which sampled particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), relative humidity (RH), and temperature (T). Variables for each sheet are described in more detail below
The sheet “Snorkel No-Snorkel Comparison” includes data from two CSAM units, CSAM-2 and CSAM-3. CSAM-2 used a snorkel tube to sample outdoor air, and CSAM-3 did not use a snorkel tube. CSAM-2 and CSAM-3 were not in the same sampling location, but did sample contemporaneous measurements. These data were used to perform a snorkel and no-snorkel comparison. 
The sheet “CSAM-1 and Federal Monitor” includes data from a CSAM unit (CSAM-1) and a Federal Monitor (which is used for regulatory measurements of air pollution). CSAM-1 and the Federal Monitor were installed in the same sampling location and recorded contemporaneous measurements. For CSAM-1, original recorded measurements are included, as well as measurements that were corrected (using regression equations) to better reflect the Federal Monitor values.

Characterization of Aerosol Nitro Aromatic Compounds Validation of an Experimental Method

The analytical capabilities associated with the use of silylation reactions have been extended to a new class of organic molecules, nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). These compounds are a possible contributor to urban particulate matter of secondary origin which would make them important analytes due to their (1) detrimental health effects, (2) potential to affect aerosol optical properties, (3) and usefulness for identifying PM2.5 from biomass burning. The technique is based on derivatization of the parent NACs using N,O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)-trifluoro acetamide, one of the most prevalent derivatization reagent for analyzing hydroxylated molecules, followed by GC-MS using electron ionization (EI) and methane chemical ionization (CI). This method is evaluated for 32 NACs including nitrophenols, methyl-/methoxy-nitrophenols, nitrobenzoic acids, and nitrobenzyl alcohols. EI spectra were characterized by a high abundance of ions corresponding to [M+.], or [M+ - 15]. CI spectra exhibited high abundance for [M+ + 1], [M+ - 15], and [M+ + 29] ions. Both EI and CI spectra exhibit ions specific to nitro group(s) for [M+. - 31], [M+. - 45], and [M+. - 60]. The strong abundance observed for [M+.] (EI), [M+ - 15] (EI/CI), or [M+ + 1] (CI) ions is consistent with the high charge stabilizing ability associated with aromatic compounds. The combination of EI and CI ionization offers strong capabilities for detection and identification of NACs. Spectra associated with NACs, containing hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms only, as silylated derivatives show fragment/adduct ions at either (a) odd or (b) even masses that indicate either (a) odd or (b) even number of nitro groups, respectively. Mass spectra associated with silylated NACs exhibited three distinct regions where characteristic fragmentation with a specific pattern associated with: (1) -OH, and/or -COOH groups, (2) -NO2 group(s), and (3) benzene ring(s). These findings were confirmed with applications to chamber aerosol and ambient PM2.5.

High-throughput in-silico prediction of ionization equilibria for pharmacokinetic modeling

Estimates of ionization equilibrium constants (i.e., pKa) were analyzed for 8,132 pharmaceuticals and 24,281 other compounds to which humans might be exposed in the environment. Results revealed broad differences in the ionization of pharmaceutical chemicals and chemicals with either near-field (in the home) or far-field sources. Probability distributions corresponding to ionizable atom types (IATs) were then used to analyze the sensitivity of predicted Vdss on predicted pKa using Monte Carlo methods. 8 of the 22 compounds were predicted to be ionizable. For 5 of the 8 the predictions based upon ionization are significantly different from what would be predicted for a neutral compound. For all but one (foramsulfuron), the probability distribution of predicted Vdss generated by IAT sensitivity analysis spans both the neutral prediction and the prediction using ionization.

In Vivo PK Library for IVIVE Evaluation

We report on new, in vivo TK experiments in rats for 26 chemicals more commonly associated with non-therapeutic and/or unintentional exposure. These chemicals, and an additional 19 chemicals from previously published in vivo rat studies, were systematically analyzed to estimate relevant TK parameters (e.g., volume of distribution, elimination rate). Our analysis created a library of TK parameters for 38 chemicals for which rat-specific in vitro HTTK data were also available.

Predicting Potential Human Health Risk with the Tox21 10k Library

This study represents the first report applying IVIVE approaches and exposure comparisons using the entirety of the Tox21 federal collaboration chemical screening data, incorporating assay response efficacy and quality of concentration-response fits, and providing quantitative anchoring to first address the likelihood of human in vivo interactions with Tox21 compounds. This likelihood was assessed using a maximum blood concentration to in vitro response ratio approach (Cmax/AC50), analogous to decision-making methods for clinical drug-drug interactions. Fraction unbound in plasma (fup) and intrinsic hepatic clearance (CLint) parameters were estimated in silico and incorporated in a 3-compartment toxicokinetic (TK) model to first predict Cmax for in vivo corroboration using therapeutic scenarios.
