Estimation of PCDD/F and PCB detoxification rates in contaminated Tapes philippinarum in the Lagoon of Venice.
This work presents the results of a short-term natural detoxification experiment carried out with the contaminated Manila clam (Tapes philippinarum), an edible bivalve species subjected to intense exploitation in the Venice Lagoon. The concentrations of seventeen PCDD/F congeners and twelve dioxin-like PCBs were determined in sediments as well as T. philippinarum specimen sampled in a lagoon ar...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modifications Due to Heavy Metals Exposure in Children Living in Polluted Areas
The aim of the present article is to provide a summary of the epigenetic modifications that might occur in children exposed to heavy metals pollutants. It is known that children are more susceptible to environmental pollutants, because their detoxification enzymes are less competent, and this may lead to alterations in chromatin structure or of DNA causing, in turn, epigenetic modifications. Li...
متن کاملBioturbation in the Venice Lagoon: Rates and relationship to organisms
Experiments were carried out during autumn 1998 and spring 1999 at four selected sites in the Venice Lagoon in order to estimate the major bioturbation modes, and for quantitative analysis of the contribution of various taxa to these modes. Fluorescent sediment particles (63–350 mm) were supplied as a tracer pulse input at the sediment surface. Tracer depth profiles obtained after 15 and 20 day...

15 صفحه اولPOPs in the Lagoon of Venice: budgets and pathways.
Dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in the ecosystem of the Lagoon of Venice were studied, in order to provide a general picture of conditions in the lagoon in terms of contamination by persistent organic pollutants (POPs). We present here novel data on atmospheric deposition, water, sediment and clam samples collected in the lagoon during the pe...
