Sci. & Technol., 11, 612-618, 1977.(I applied for an NIH research grant to NIEHS and received approval and funding for $90K, though I left the Naylor Dana Institute shortly afterward and never executed this research on Quinolines toxicology and environmental significance).
    

3. M. W. Dong, D. Hoffmann, D. C. Locke, and E. Ferrand, The occurrence of caffeine in the air of New York City, Atmos. Environ. 11, 651-653, 1977.
