✦ Synopsis

Gram-negative bacterial endotoxins are contaminants of dusts from agricultural products. They represent a potential health hazard for farmers working in many different processes. However, the occurrence of endotoxins has not been well characterized in the various farming operations. Therefore, two farming activities with potential for generating airborne endotoxins were studied: 1) chopping of baled corn stalks or straw for bedding in New York State, and 2) oat bin unloading in Alabama. Actual airborne endotoxin levels in dusts obtained during bedding chopper operations far exceeded [90 endotoxin units (EU)/m3] the level at which acute pulmonary function decrements occur in cotton dust-exposed individuals. Endotoxin contamination of laboratory-generated dust from an oat sample likewise exceeded these levels. This study documents the presence of potentially ha7ardous exposures to endotoxins in two common farm processes, which expands the knowledge of airborne endotoxin exposures on the farm.

## Abstract Three pilot barrier‐coated boards that were recently produced at the Tampere University of Technology were tested for biodegradation potential using the soil‐burial test method. The tests were conducted in the field as well as in the laboratory. We found that the baseboards degraded reg

Experiments have been carried out to test the commonly held belief that the dissolved dimethylarsenic species present in marine waters is dimethylarsinate. By employing a novel combination of HPLC and cryogenic-trap hydride generation atomic absorption spectroscopy (HG AA), the sensitivity limitatio
