Parking lot sealcoat: a major source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban and suburban environments
Peter C. Van Metre, Barbara Mahler, Mateo Scoggins, Pixie A. Hamilton
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3147
Collaborative studies by the City of Austin and the U. S.

Dwight Q. Tanner, Heather M. Bragg, Matthew W. Johnston
2005, Data Series 148
Significant Findings When water is released through the spillways of dams, air is entrained in the water, increasing the downstream concentration of dissolved gases. Excess dissolved-gas concentrations can have adverse effects on freshwater aquatic life. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, collected dissolved-gas...
