DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Joseph Daniel Gillis\, Bioresource Engineer
 ing\n\nEmerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care pro
 ducts are increasingly being detected in soil and water bodies as a result
  of the release of wastewater effluent and the application of biosolids to
  land. Many emerging contaminants have not undergone thorough ecotoxicity 
 testing\, since they have only recently come to the attention of scientist
 s\, government\, and the public. Earthworm toxicity tests play a key role 
 in determining the risk of a contaminant to the health of soil organisms. 
 Metabolomics is emerging as a useful tool for assessing toxicity\, since i
 t provides a snapshot of the physiological state of an organism and yields
  a greater depth of knowledge than traditional endpoints. This thesis uses
  standard earthworm toxicity testing methods combined with targeted gas ch
 romatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) metabolomics to assess the toxicity
  to earthworms of three emerging contaminants (triclosan\, methyltriclosan
 \, and metformin) present in biosolids.\n\nEveryone in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ communit
 y is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating t
 he accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n \n\n \n
