title: Chemical composition of isoprene SOA under acidic and non-acidic conditions: Effect of relative humidity

description: The effect of acidity and relative humidity on bulk isoprene aerosol parameters has been investigated in several studies, however few measurements have been conducted on individual aerosol compounds. The focus of this study has been the examination of the effect of acidity and relative humidity on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) chemical composition from isoprene photooxidation in the presence of nitrogen oxide (NOx). A detailed characterization of SOA at the molecular level was also investigated. Experiments were conducted in a 14.5 m3 smog chamber operated in flow mode. Based on a detailed analysis of mass spectra obtained from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of silylated derivatives in electron impact and chemical ionization modes, and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/time-of-flight high resolution mass spectrometry, and collision-induced dissociation in the negative ionization modes, we characterized not only typical isoprene products, but also new oxygenated compounds. A series of nitroxy-organosulfates (OS) were tentatively identified on the basis of high resolution mass spectra. Under acidic conditions, the major identified compounds include 2-methyltetrols (2MT), 2-methylglyceric acid (2MGA) and 2MT-OS. Other products identified include epoxydiols, mono- and dicarboxylic acids, other organic sulfates, and nitroxy- and nitrosoxy-OS. The contribution of SOA products from isoprene oxidation to PM2.5 was investigated by analysing ambient aerosol collected at rural sites in Poland. Methyltetrols, 2MGA and several organosulfates and nitroxy-OS were detected in both the field and laboratory samples. The influence of relative humidity on SOA formation was modest in non-acidic seed experiments, and stronger under acidic seed aerosol. Total secondary organic carbon decreased with increasing relative humidity under both acidic and non-acidic conditions. While the yields of some of the specific organic compounds decreased with increasing relative humidity others varied in an indeterminate manner from changes in the relative humidity.

title: Simulating the Environmental Fate and Transport of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Major Phototransformation Product in Surface Waters: ORD-024619

description: There has been growing interest in simulating the fate and transport of engineered nanomaterials in the environment. The Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) is one of the most widely used water quality models and has recently been upgraded to WASP8. WASP8 incorporates the algorithms to simulate the fate and transport of nanoparticles in surface waters. This study simulates the fate and transport of graphene oxide (GO) nanomaterials and their major phototransformation product, photoreduced graphene oxide (rGO), for Brier Creek, GA, USA. We specifically explored the influences of three important processes on the fate and transport of GO: (1) light attenuation, (2) phototransformation, and (3) heteroaggregation, and simulated their distributions in the river, including the water column and sediment.

title: Data for a PPAR-alpha dependence of developmental effects of PFNA in mouse.

description: Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) is one of the perfluoroalkyl acids found in the environment and in tissues of humans and wildlife. Prenatal exposure to PFNA negatively impacts survival and development of mice and activates the mouse and human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα). In the current study, we used PPARα knockout (KO) and 129S1/SvlmJ wild-type (WT) mice to investigate the role of PPARα in mediating PFNA-induced in vivo effects. Pregnant KO and WT mice were dosed orally with water (vehicle control: 10 ml/kg), 0.83, 1.1, 1.5, or 2mg/kg PFNA on gestational days (GDs) 1−18 (day of sperm plug = GD 0). Maternal weight gain, implantation, litter size, and pup weight at birth were unaffected in either strain. PFNA exposure reduced the number of live pups at birth and survival of offspring to weaning in the 1.1 and 2 mg/kg groups in WT. Eye opening was delayed (mean delay 2.1 days) and pup weight at weaning was reduced inWT pups at 2mg/kg. These developmental endpoints were not affected in the KO. Relative liver weight was increased in a dose-dependent manner in dams and pups of theWT strain at all dose levels but only slightly increased in the highest dose group in the KO strain. In summary, PFNA altered liver weight of dams and pups, pup survival, body weight, and development in the WT, while only inducing a slight increase in relative liver weight of dams and pups at 2mg/kg in KO mice. These results suggest that PPARα is an essential mediator of PFNA-induced developmental toxicity in the mouse.

title: Supporting data for "Lee, S., Cherry, J., Safoutin, M., Neam, A., McDonald, J., Newman, K.  2018. Modeling and Controls Development of 48 V Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles. SAE 2018-01-0413" V1

description: The purpose of this work was to develop a 48 V mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) model for drive cycle simulation using the EPA Advanced Light-Duty Powertrain and Hybrid Analysis tool (ALPHA).  The work included controls development, component and vehicle modeling , and model validation for simulations of a vehicle with a 48 V Belt Integrated Starter Generator (BISG) MHEV system.  An initial model design was also developed for a 48 V inline on-axis P2-configuration MHEV and will be validated as part of future work. Both MHEV configurations were developed into sub-models using a MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow tool.  The sub-models have subsequently been integrated into EPA’s ALPHA vehicle model.  Initial sub-model development and validation was conducted using the commercially-available Gamma Technology GT-DRIVE vehicle simulation model. The mild hybrid electric vehicle model was validated using vehicle data obtained from Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) chassis dynamometer tests of a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco 115 V 15 kW BISG mild hybrid electric vehicle. The simulated fuel economy, engine torque/speed, motor torque/speed, engine on-off controls, battery voltage, current, and State of Charge (SOC) were all in good agreement with the vehicle test data on a number of drive schedules. The developed 48 V mild hybrid electric vehicle model can be used to estimate the GHG emissions and fuel economy of 48 V mild hybrid electric vehicles over the EPA regulatory drive cycles and to estimate off-cycle GHG emissions, real-world GHG emissions, and vehicle energy flows. The 48 V mild hybrid electric vehicle model will be further validated with additional 48 V mild hybrid electric vehicle test data in the future as more vehicle models become available. EPA has included 48 V BISG mild hybrid electric vehicle technology in its assessment of CO2-reducing technologies available for compliance with U.S. GHG standards.

title: Nitrogen and nitrogen isotope data for wheat and barley exposed to CeO2 nanoparticles

description: The effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) on 15N/14N ratio (δ15N) in wheat and barley were investigated.  Seedlings were exposed to 0 and 500 mg CeO2-NPs/L (Ce-0 and Ce-500, respectively) in hydroponic suspension supplied with NH4NO3, NH4+, or NO3-.  N uptake and δ15N discrimination (i.e. differences in δ15N of plant and δ15N of N source) were measured.  Results showed that N content and 15N abundance decreased in wheat but increased in barley.  Ce-500 only induced whole-plant δ15N discrimination (-1.48‰, P ≤ 0.10) with a simultaneous decrease (P ≤ 0.05) in whole-plant δ15N (-3.24‰) compared to Ce-0 (-2.74‰) in wheat in NH4+.  Ce-500 decreased (P ≤ 0.01) root δ15N of wheat in NH4NO3 and NH4+ (3.23 and -2.25‰, respectively) compared to Ce-0 (4.96 and -1.27‰, respectively), but increased (P ≤ 0.05) root δ15N of wheat in NO3- (3.27‰) compared to Ce-0 (2.60‰).  Synchrotron micro-XRF revealed the presence of CeO2-NPs in shoots of wheat and barley regardless of N source.  Although the longer-term consequences of CeO2-NP exposure on N uptake and metabolism are unknown, the results clearly show the potential for ENMs to interfere with plant metabolism of critical plant nutrients such as N even when toxicity is not observed.

title: Raw data for seed germination study with biochar and 8 plant species.

description: Biochar is being evaluated as an amendment to improve soil characteristics to increase crop yields, revitalize degraded soils and facilitate the establishment of plant cover. Unfortunately, there are few rapid tests to determine potential effects of biochar on soil and associated plant responses. Seed germination (emergence of hypocotyl) is a critical parameter for plant establishment and may be a rapid indicator of biochar effects. We adapted Oregon State University Seed Laboratory procedures to develop a “rapid-test” to screen for effects of biochar on seed germination and soil characteristics. Soils were amended with 1% biochar by weight and placed in 11.0 cm square x 3.5 cm deep containers fitted with premoistened blotter paper. Seeds were placed in a uniform 5 x 5 pattern and covered with 15 g of the soil-biochar mixtures. Two South Carolina Coastal Plain soils, the Norfolk (Fine-loamy, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Kandiudults) and Coxville (Fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Paleaquults), were used. Eighteen biochars were evaluated produced from 6 feedstocks [pine chips (PC), poultry litter (PL), swine solids (SS), switchgrass (SG); and two blends of PC and PL, 50% PC/50% PL (55), and 80% PC/20% PL (82).  For each feedstock biochars were made by pyrolysis at 350, 500 and 700°C for 1-2 hours.  Percent germination and shoot dry weight were evaluated for cabbage, carrot, cucumber, lettuce, oat, onion, perennial ryegrass and tomato. Soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and extractable phosphorus (EP), factors which can affect seed germination and early seedling growth, were determined after plant harvests.  Germination primarily was affected by soil type with few biochar effects. Shoot dry weight was increased for carrot, lettuce, oat and tomato; primarily with biochars containing PL. Soil pH and EC increased with PL, SS, 55 and most 82 treatments across soil types and plant species.  Soil EP increased substantially with SS and PL and to a lesser extent with 55 and 82 for both soils across species, and with SG pyrolyzed at 550 and 750°C soil for the Norfolk soil across species.  Thus, this rapid-test method can be an early indicator of the effects of biochar on seed germination and important soil health characteristics which can be affected by biochar and effect seed germination.

title: Phenone rtER binding Vtg_Tapper_A-jm6n_data set 20171002

description: Phenones and hydroxy benzophenones are widely used as UV radiation filters, and in the manufacturing of insecticides and pharmaceuticals. Understanding the ability of these chemicals to mimic the effects of the steroid estrogen is of interest to the US Environmental Protection Agency and other international environmental organizations. The current study sequentially combined complementary in vitro (outside a living organism) rainbow trout estrogen receptor (rtER) binding and liver slice vitellogenin (Vtg) mRNA induction assays in the context of a defined ER-mediated adverse outcome pathway (AOP). Cyclic phenones, branched phenones, and hydroxybenzophenones bound to rtER with relative potency ranging from no affinity to high binding affinity of 0.11%, and many induced Vtg, an egg yolk protein, gene expression in rt liver slices. In addition, cyclohexylphenylketone which did not bind rtER binding in cytosol was biotransformed within liver tissue to a chemical that induced Vtg expression. Cyclic phenones, branched phenones and hydroxybenzophenones produced estrogen like responses in these rainbow trout in vitro assays.

title: Dataset for Summertime organic carbon absorption and sources at a southeastern U.S. location - dominance of secondary organic aerosol

description: The data tables in this file were used to generate the figures in the manuscript, "Summertime organic carbon absorption and sources at a southeastern U.S. location - dominance of secondary organic aerosol". Light-absorbing organic carbon, i.e. brown carbon, has been intensively investigated in atmospheres impacted by biomass burning impacted atmospheres. However, other brown carbon sources have been rarely studied in ambient aerosols. This data set includes forty-five PM2.5 filter samples that were collected in Research Triangle Park (RTP), NC, USA from June 1st to July 15th, 2013. The bulk carbonaceous components, including organic carbon, elemental carbon, water soluble organic carbon, and an array of organic molecular markers were measured; an ultraviolet (UV)/visible  (Vis) spectrometer was used to measure the light absorption of methanol and water extractable organic carbon. A complete description of how the data was acquired and and analyzed is provided in the manuscript.  A description of each parameter presented is provided in the file in the Data Dictionary.
