    Abstract This study documents an unrecognized source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to indoor and outdoor environments from mass-market paperback book adhesives. The PCB content of common consumer products like books is less documented than industrial products. Patents describe PCBs as components for hot-melt adhesives used for “perfect” bound paperback bookbinding. However, the PCB formulations, concentrations, and dates of use for these adhesives have not been confirmed by chemical analysis. We tested production-dated paperback books manufactured between 1946 and 1974 from six major publishers. Chemical analysis of the binding adhesive confirms the widespread presence of PCBs in paperback books. PCBs were detected in adhesives from all tested books manufactured between 1948 and 1974 (n = 21). High PCB concentrations (6.1–18 wt %/wt), consistent with use as a plasticizer, were found in half the samples (n = 12). We tentatively identified polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs) in four samples with lower, ppm-level PCB concentrations. From 1948 to 1974, we estimate that over 6 billion mass-market paperback books were sold domestically, many of which remain in homes, libraries, and stores. Therefore, book adhesives may be a potential PCB source to indoor air and to the environment via paper mill effluent, landfills, and recycled paper.

    Abstract A systematic method is developed that uses dynamical systems theory to model, analyze, and construct low-energy ballistic lunar transfers (BLTs). It has been found that low-energy BLTs may be produced by intersecting the stable manifold of an unstable Earth-Moon three-body orbit with the Earth. A spacecraft following such a trajectory is only required to perform a single maneuver, namely, the Trans-Lunar Injection maneuver, in order to complete the transfer. After the Trans-Lunar Injection maneuver, the spacecraft follows an entirely ballistic trajectory that asymptotically approaches and arrives at the target lunar three-body orbit. Because these orbit transfers require no orbit insertion maneuver at the three-body orbit, the transfers may be used to send spacecraft 25–40% more massive than spacecraft sent to the same orbits via conventional, direct transfers. From the targeted three-body orbits, the spacecraft may transfer to nearly any region within the Earth-Moon system, including any location on the surface of the Moon. The systematic methods developed in this research allow low-energy BLTs to be characterized by six parameters. It has been found that BLTs exist in families, where a family of BLTs consists of transfers whose parameters vary in a continuous fashion from one end of the family to the other. The families are easily identified and studied using a BLT State Space Map (BLT Map). The present research studies BLT Maps and has surveyed a wide variety of BLTs that exist in the observed families. It has been found that many types of BLTs may be constructed between 185-km low Earth parking orbits and lunar three-body orbits that require less than 3.27 km/s and fewer than 120 days of transfer time. Under certain conditions, BLTs may be constructed that require less than 3.2 km/s and fewer than 100 days of transfer time. It has been found that BLTs may implement LEO parking orbits with nearly any combination of altitude and inclination; they may depart from their LEO parking orbits nearly any day of each month; and they may target a variety of different classes of unstable Earth-Moon three-body orbits. Finally, studies are provided that address how low-energy transfers impact the design of spacecraft systems and how BLT Maps may be implemented as pragmatic tools in the design of practical lunar missions.
