Fish, FRAMES and sticky chemicals net technology award for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

sticides and herbicides and can be signatures of illegal chemical or nuclear weapons production.

With heated equipment and clear Teflon sheet walls, the chamber is so nonstick that users can identify semi-volatile, volatile and particulate chemicals; understand their life cycles; and determine likely sources. Special containers enable the chamber to receive samples from remote locations.

Scientific assistance for juvenile salmon: culvert test bed

Roadway culverts present a major obstacle to juvenile salmon trying to reach prime habitat. To find more fish friendly designs, the Washington State Department of Transportation, representing a consortium of West Coast transportation agencies, engaged PNNL to create a full-scale culvert test bed at a hatchery in southwestern Washington.

The one-of-a-kind facility is providing scientifically sound information for use in improving designs for new and retrofitted culverts in the Northwest and elsewhere. Test bed experiments measure water conditions under hundreds of slope and flow situations, and quickly relate these measures to fish-passage success at all life stages.

According to U.S. Representative Norm Dicks, "Decisions made based on research at this facility will benefit us for decades to come."

PNNL will receive the technology award at the Environmental Industry Summit in San Diego in March. The event is sponsored by Environmental Business International www.ebiusa.com, publisher of the journal and provider of news, research reports and consulting services worldwide.
