Abstract Introduction/Objective Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document GP44 recommends samples avoid temperatures >22°C during sample transport and storage. Outdoor courier lockboxes used in external sample transport can experience extreme temperatures (>40°C) in the summer. Ice (frozen at -20°C) and cold (refrigerated at 4-8°C) packs can be used to reduce internal lockbox temperatures during hot summer days. Unfortunately, there are no universally accepted instructions to maintain internal lockbox temperatures during these conditions. Therefore, our goal was to elucidate the impact of placing ice and cold packs at two specific time points to mitigate external summer temperatures in two commercially available outdoor courier lockboxes used at our institution. Methods/Case Report Two pairs of uniquely manufactured courier lockboxes (steel vs. urethane polymer) were placed outside in direct sunlight in Nashville, Tennessee during the second week of June 2021. Ambient outdoor and lockbox temperatures were monitored using data loggers during a four-day cycle. Each type of lockbox design had a control with no ice or cold packs. These controls were then compared to each experimental, paired lockbox with four ice packs placed at 8am and replaced with four cold packs at 4pm. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) The mean ambient outdoor temperature over these four days was 27.7°C (range: 22.2-39.8°C). Temperatures within the steel and urethane polymer lockboxes without ice or cold packs was 28.3°C (range: 22.4-40.8°C) and 31.6°C (range: 23.8-41.0°C), respectively. The addition of four ice packs at 8am and replaced with four cold packs at 4pm reduced temperatures in the steel box to 24.3°C (range: 17.4-27.9°C) whereas in the urethane polymer box temperatures were reduced to 13.4°C (range: 6.6-18.1°C). Conclusion Temperatures inside outdoor lockboxes can increase in summer commonly above the outdoor ambient temperature. Standardizing instructions for ice and cold packs can reduce internal outdoor courier lockbox temperatures during summer months, especially in urethane polymer lockboxes.

Abstract The 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season was historically large, long, and intense. Smoke from fires burning in southeast Australia blanketed population centres for weeks to months. This study reports the chemical composition in the gas and aerosol phase of aged plumes measured near Wollongong, NSW in early 2020. Enhancement ratios to CO are presented for thirteen species. Plume composition is largely similar to that measured in fresh smoke during previous studies. It is hoped enhancement ratios reported here will assist in plume modelling of landscape scale fires and allow concentration estimates of infrequently measured atmospheric pollutants at monitoring stations. The relative toxicological contribution of species present in the plumes was determined for dilute plume exposure at the measurement site and for concentrated plumes at a heavily impacted population centre case study location. Similar results were determined for both sites. Respirable particles, formaldehyde and acrolein were found to contribute significantly to the toxicological loading, with respirable particles contributing approximately half of the loading. This is a reminder to consider not only the toxicological contributions of particles when studying health impacts of bushfire smoke exposure.
