SI traceable determination of arsenic species in kelp (Thallus laminariae)

June 26, 2017
Author(s)
Lee L. Yu, Rolf L. Zeisler, Rachel C. Stanoyevitch
Kelp is a dietary supplement that contains significant amount of arsenic. Accurate assessment of dietary safety of kelp requires the determination of the arsenic species therein. A procedure was developed to extract the hydrophilic fraction of arsenicals

Separation, Sizing, and Quantitation of Engineered Nanoparticles in an Organism Model Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Image Analysis

December 16, 2016
Author(s)
Monique E. Johnson, Shannon Hanna, Antonio R. Montoro Bustos, Christopher M. Sims, Lindsay C. Elliott, Babak Nikoobakht, John T. Elliott, Richard D. Holbrook, Keana C. Scott, Karen E. Murphy, Elijah J. Petersen, Lee L. Yu, Bryant C. Nelson, Akshay Lingayat, Adrian C. Johnston
For environmental studies assessing uptake of orally ingested engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), a key step in ensuring accurate quantification of ingested ENPs is efficient separation of the organism from ENPs that are either nonspecifically adsorbed to the

Investigating the Process of Surface Degradation and Nanoparticle Release of a Commercial Nanosilica / Polyurethane Coating Under UV Exposure

March 11, 2015
Author(s)
Deborah S. Jacobs, Yu L. Cheng, Savelas A. Rabb, Peter J. Krommenhoek, Lee L. Yu, Tinh Nguyen, Li Piin Sung
Considerable research has shown that many coatings properties such as mechanical, electrical, and ultra violet (UV) resistance are greatly enhanced by the addition of nanoparticles, which can potentially increase the use of nanocoatings for many outdoor

An approach for identification and determination of arsenic species in the extract of kelp

March 3, 2015
Author(s)
Lee L. Yu, Rolf L. Zeisler, Rabia Oflaz, Wei Chao, Junting Tong, Haixia Bao, Jun Wang
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is developing a kelp standard reference material (SRM) in support of dietary supplement measurements. Edible seaweeds such as kelp and laver consumed as diet or dietary supplement contain tens of mg/kg

Using Single Particle ICP-MS as a Tool for Understanding Metallic Nanoparticle Transformation during Nanotoxicity Assays

July 1, 2014
Author(s)
Monique E. Johnson, Shannon Hanna, Antonio R. Montoro Bustos, Bryant C. Nelson, Elijah J. Petersen, Lee L. Yu
The advent of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) and their increased use has remarkably improved the performance of basic materials and consumer products, but has also increased the potential for ENP release into the environment. Technical procedures, more

Effects of Temperature on Surface Accumulation and Release of Silica Nanoparticles in an Epoxy Nanocoating Exposed to UV Radiation

June 16, 2014
Author(s)
Chun-Chieh Tien, Ching-Hsuan Chang, Bernard Hao-Chih Liu, Deborah Jacobs, Savelas A. Rabb, Lee L. Yu, Tinh Nguyen, Li Piin Sung
Polymer nanocoatings are increasingly used outdoors and in harsh environments. However, because most common polymers degraded by the weathering elements, nanoparticles in polymer nanocoatings may be released into the environments. Such nanoparticle release

A Quantitative Study of Nanoparticle Release from Nanocoatings Exposed to UV Radiation

April 7, 2014
Author(s)
Li Piin Sung, Deborah S. Jacobs, Justin M. Gorham, Savelas A. Rabb, Xiaohong Gu, Lee L. Yu, Tinh Nguyen
Nanoparticles are increasingly used in polymer coatings (i.e., nanocoatings) to improve multiple properties of traditional coatings such as mechanical, electrical, gas barrier, and UV resistance. These high performance nanocoatings are often used in

Certification of Total Arsenic in Blood and Urine Standard Reference Materials by Radiochemical Neutron Activation Analysis and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

March 1, 2014
Author(s)
Rick L. Paul, William C. Davis, Karen E. Murphy, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Lee L. Yu, William F. Guthrie, Dennis D. Leber, Thomas W. Vetter
A newly developed procedure for determination of arsenic by radiochemical neutron activation analysis was used to measure arsenic in SRM 955c Toxic Elements in Caprine Blood and SRM 2668 Toxic Elements in Frozen Human Urine for the purpose of providing
