Article Synopsis
- A chemical byproduct called 6PPD-Q, stemming from tires, has been linked to severe toxicity in coho salmon due to urban storm runoff.
- The study examined how 6PPD-Q interacts with asphalt mixtures, showing that both compacted and crushed rubberized asphalt can absorb this chemical, reaching equilibrium in about 12 days.
- Despite its ability to absorb 6PPD-Q, the actual amount released into runoff during simulated rainfall events is significantly lower than the lethal concentration for fish, suggesting these asphalt mixtures can help mitigate its toxicity in the environment.
The sustainability of roadway construction has rapidly been gaining attention within the pavement industry. The pavements examined in this study are in a Northern Nevada county with many of the roadways categorized as low volume roads. The county began surfacing rural roads with 100% Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) millings, without any design considerations for decades.

In this study, we compared the PC-volume guarantee (PC-VG) mode of ventilation with VCV and PCV modes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 30 patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Classes I and II, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with a classic LMA were ventilated, subsequently, with the three modes of ventilation: VCV, PCV, and PC-VG for 10 min each mode.
