103. Barriers to workers' compensation and medical care for injured personal assistance services workers.

Author

Scherzer T and Wolfe N

Abstract

Objectives.We documented barriers to workers' compensation and injury-related medical care faced by homecare or Personal Assistance Services (PAS) workers. We explored differences between independent providers and agency-employed workers. Methods. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a diverse sample of 38 injured workers. Participants were primarily female and racial-ethnic minorities. Results.Most participants (82%) were independent providers. Common barriers to reporting injury included commitments to clients and financial pressure. Unlike agency employees, many independent providers knew little about workers' compensation eligibility and injury reporting procedures, and frequently were given 'the runaround' by the social service bureaucracy when they attempted to report injury and access injuryrelated medical care. Among independent providers, delays in filing a claim and receiving timely medical attention were common. Conclusions. The lack of a traditional employment infrastructure has important implications for vulnerable workers' health and the sustainability of consumer-directed PAS programs. We provide recommendations for improving workers' access to workers' compensation and injury-related medical care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

118. Phytotransformation of Perchlorate and Identification of Metabolic Products in Myriophyllum aquaticum

Author

Susarla, Sridhar, Bacchus, Sydney, Wolfe, N. L., and McCutcheon, Steven

Abstract

The uptake and transformation of perchlorate in the presence of Myriophyllum aquaticum (parrot-feather) were examined in sand and aqueous treatments with concentrations between 0.2 to 20 ppm. Controls were included without plants to confirm the uptake of perchlorate by parrot-feather. The kinetic data followed a first-order reaction mechanism with rate constants ranging from 0.004 to 0.090, resulting in half-lives between 7 to 173 days. Uptake rates were five times higher in aqueous treatments than in sand treatments. The intermediates detected in the plant tissue suggest that perchlorate transformed in a step-wise fashion to form chloride. Accumulation of perchlorate in the plant tissues (1.2 g/kg) suggests that parrot-feather has a high capacity for accumulating this contaminant.

119. Methylmercuric Complexes in Aquatic Systems

Author

Zepp, Richard, Baughman, George, Wolfe, N. Lee, and Cline, David

Abstract

Equilibrium calculations indicate that methylmercuric ion is almost completely complexed under conditions that exist in fresh waters. Sulfur-bonded complexes, CH3HgS-, (CH3Hg)2S, and CH3HgSR, are likely to be the predominant forms of methylmercury in fresh natural waters. With no reduced sulfur species or sulfhydryl-containing organics present, methyl-mercuric hydroxide or methylmercuric chloride would predominate. Common chemical species such as orthophosphate, ammonia, phenolic groups, and protein amino groups have little effect upon complexation of methylmercury.
