Rapid screening for monensin residues in poultry plasma by a dry reagent dissociation enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay.

Monensin, a carboxylic acid ionophore, is commonly fed to poultry to control coccidiosis. A method for rapid analysis of unextracted poultry plasma samples has been developed based on a novel immunoassay format: one-step all-in-one dry reagent time resolved fluorimetry. All assay specific components were pre-dried onto microtitration plate wells. Only addition of the serum sample diluted in assay buffer was required to perform analysis. Results were available one hour after sample addition. The limit of detection (mean + 3s) of the assay calculated from the analysis of 23 known negative samples was 14.2 ng ml(-1). Intra- and inter-assay RSD were determined as 15.2 and 7.4%, respectively, using a plasma sample fortified with 50 ng ml(-1) monensin. Eight broiler chickens were fed monensin at a dose rate of 120 mg kg(-1) feed for one week, blood sampled then slaughtered without drug withdrawal. Plasma monensin concentrations, as determined by the fluoroimmunoassay ranged from 101-297 ng ml(-1). This compared with monensin liver concentrations, determined by LC-MS, which ranged fi om 13-41 ng g(-1). The fluoroimmunoassay described is extremely user friendly, gives particularly rapid results and is suitable for the detection and quantification of plasma monensin residues. Data from medicated poultry suggest that analysis of plasma may be useful in predicting the extent of monensin liver residues.

Transport of Hydraulic Fracturing Water and Wastes in the Susquehanna River Basin, Pennsylvania

The development of the Marcellus Shale gas play in Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States has resulted in significant amounts of water and wastes transported by truck over roadways. This study used geographic information systems (GIS) to quantify truck travel distances via both the preferred routes (minimum distance while also favoring higher-order roads) as well as, where available, the likely actual distances for freshwater and waste transport between pertinent locations (e. g., gas wells, treatment facilities, freshwater sources). Results show that truck travel distances in the Susquehanna River Basin are greater than those used in prior life-cycle assessments of tight shale gas. When compared to likely actual transport distances, if policies were instituted to constrain truck travel to the closest destination and higher-order roads, transport mileage reductions of 40-80% could be realized. Using reasonable assumptions of current practices, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with water and waste hauling were calculated to be 70-157 MT CO2 eq per gas well. Furthermore, empty so-called backhaul trips, such as to freshwater withdrawal sites or returning from deep well injection sites, were found to increase emissions by an additional 30%, underscoring the importance of including return trips in the analysis. The results should inform future life-cycle assessments of tight shale gases in managed watersheds and help local and regional governments plan for impacts of transportation on local infrastructure.
