Trace sources of endocrine disruptors and toxicity

Organization: 
University of New Haven
Date Issued: 
Thursday, March 16, 2017
Amount: 
12 000.00
Description: 
To support the study of several sites along the Quinnipiac River to trace sources of endocrine disruptors and toxicity.

Study of copper uptake efficiency of various ulvoid species

Organization: 
University of New Haven
Date Issued: 
Thursday, March 16, 2017
Amount: 
10 500.00
Description: 
To support the study of copper uptake efficiency of various ulvoid species in order to pinpoint potential candidates for bioremediation of heavy metals at marine and brackish water sites along the Quinnipiac River.

Identification, characterization and assessment of industrial pollutants

Organization: 
Quinnipiac University
Date Issued: 
Thursday, March 16, 2017
Amount: 
21 000.00
Description: 
to support identification, characterization and assessment of industrial pollutants in Wallingford and North Haven with an emphasis on the pollutant's impact to indigenous fish populations in the Quinnipiac River.

Study of the risk of runoff from artificial turf fields into the Quinnipiac River's watershed

Organization: 
Yale University
Date Issued: 
Friday, March 25, 2016
Amount: 
16 700.00
Description: 
To support the study of the risk of runoff from artificial turf fields into the Quinnipiac River's watershed.

Study of sediment accretion and elevation change in the Quinnipiac marshes

Organization: 
Yale University
Date Issued: 
Friday, March 25, 2016
Amount: 
13 500.00
Description: 
To support the study of sediment accretion and elevation change in the Quinnipiac marshes, and for a wildlife-exclusion experiment to test the hypothesis that herbivory is preventing vegetation from recolonizing mudflat areas.

Study of benthic algae, testing copper content in situ algal samples and mesocosm copper uptake experiments

Organization: 
University of New Haven
Date Issued: 
Friday, March 25, 2016
Amount: 
12 000.00
Description: 
To support the study of benthic algae to detect seasonal variation in species composition, as well as testing copper content in situ algal samples and conducting mesocosm copper uptake experiments to test the bioremediation potential of various algal species.

Study to determine presence of encocrine disruptors

Organization: 
University of New Haven
Date Issued: 
Friday, March 25, 2016
Amount: 
11 500.00
Description: 
To support the study of several sites along the Quinnipiac River to determine whether endocrine disruptors are present and then trace their source.

Study of plasticizers and other chemical pollutants from industrial point sources

Organization: 
Quinnipiac University
Date Issued: 
Friday, March 25, 2016
Amount: 
24 000.00
Description: 
To support the study of plasticizers and other chemical pollutants from industrial point sources in Wallingford and North Haven with an emphasis on the pollutant's impact to indigenous fish populations in the Quinnipiac River.

Date Issued: 
Thursday, March 19, 2015
Amount: 
12 300.00
Description: 
to support continued monitoring of sediment accretion and elevation change in the Quinnipiac marshes, and to support a marsh organ experiment to assess whether soil toxicity is contributing to marsh submergence

Organization: 
University of New Haven, Department of Biology & Environmental Science
Date Issued: 
Thursday, March 19, 2015
Amount: 
11 000.00
Description: 
to support the study of several sites along the Quinnipiac River to determine whether endocrine disruptors are present and then to trace their source.
