Certainpolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) induce CYP1A-dependent enzyme activities. Because PAHs are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, and some are aryl hydrocarbon agonists, CYP1A has been used as a biomarker for PAH exposure. However, PAHs exist in the environment

To date, studies about historic PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) deposition at a regional scale have rarely been published. To address this research gap, we sampled 17 ombrotrophic peatlands across eastern Canada. The peat cores from hollows were dated with 210Pb

In bioassays, exposure concentrations of test compounds are usually expressed as nominal concentrations. As a result of various processes, such as adsorption, degradation, or uptake, the actual freely dissolved concentration of the test compound may differ from the nominal concentration.

Japanese medakas (Oryzias latipes) and triolein-embedded cellulose acetate membranes (TECAMs) were exposed simultaneously to benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF) in the static exposure system containing different concentrations of humic acid (HA). The concentration-response relationships of induced hepatic 7-ethoxysorufin-o-deethylase (EROD) activity were established in

The effects of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkF) and their mixture on antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels of haemolymph of scallop (Chlamys ferrari) were studied. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities of 0.5 microg/L and 1.0 microg/L were significantly
