Author(s)
John Kucklick, Ashley Boggs-Russell, Kevin Huncik, Amanda Moors, Elizabeth Davis, Gina Ylitalo, Mary McConnell, Christina Makris, Randall Wells
Legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were measured in blubber samples collected from 196 common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) during 2000 to 2016 in the Sarasota Bay, Florida, ecosystem. Legacy POPs included polychlorinated biphenyl

Urinary Phthalate Metabolites in Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from Sarasota Bay, FL, USA

September 5, 2018

Leslie Hart, Barbara Beckingham, Randall Wells, Moria Alten-Flagg, Kerry Wischusen, Amanda Moors, John Kucklick, Pisarski Emily, Ed Wirth
Phthalates are chemical additives to common consumer goods including cleaning products, cosmetics, personal care products, and plastic. Because they are not chemically bound to these products and are widely used, the potential for environmental

Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) for the Palla VM-KT Vibrating Cryomill: Production of Fresh Frozen Standard Reference and Control Materials (SRMs/CMs) at the NIST Reference Material Production Facility

August 11, 2016
Author(s)
Amanda J. Moors, Rebecca S. Pugh, Jody R. Evans, Jennifer M. Ness, Debra L. Ellisor, Melannie J. Bachman
The NIST Reference Materials Production (RMP) Facility at the Hollings Marine Laboratory produces fresh, frozen powder materials which are used as Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and Control Materials (CMs) from frozen biological, environmental

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has established a Dietary Supplement Laboratory Quality Assurance Program (DSQAP) in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements (NIH-ODS). The DSQAP designed

Spatial and temporal trends of persistent organic pollutants and mercury in beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) from Alaska

January 24, 2013
Author(s)
Jennifer Hoguet, Jessica Reiner, Jennifer Lynch, John Kucklick, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Amanda Moors, Rebecca Pugh, Paul R. Becker
Remote locations, such as the Arctic, are often sinks for persistent contaminants which can ultimately bioaccumulate in local wildlife. Assessing temporal contaminant trends in the Arctic is important in understanding whether restrictions on legacy
