Occurrence and Distribution of Pyrene and its Derivatives in Crude Oils and Source Rock Extracts from Niger Delta, Nigeria
Crude oils and source rocks from the Northern and offshore depobelts of the Niger Delta basin, Nigeria have been characterized based on the distribution of pyrene and its derivatives by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Moreover, the crude oils have been characterized by the dominance of pyrene over fluoranthene while fluoranthene generally predominated over pyrene in the rock samples. Also...
متن کاملTumorigenic activity of benzo(e)pyrene derivatives on mouse skin and in newborn mice.
The tumorigenic activities of benzo(e)pyrene and several of its derivatives were determined in two mouse tumor models. Newborn Swiss-Webster mice were given i.p. injections of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 mumol of compound on the first, eighth, and 15th day of life, respectively. When the mice were 62 to 66 weeks old, the experiment was terminated by killing the animals. Benzo(e)pyrene, trans-4,5-dihydrox...
متن کاملComparative tumor-initiating activity of methylated benzo(a)pyrene derivatives in mouse skin.
The abilities of various mono and dimethyl derivatives of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to initiate skin tumors in mice were determined by using a two-stage system of tumorigenesis. 11-Methylbenzo(a)pyrene was found to be approximately 3 times more active as a tumor initiator than was the parent hydrocarbon; 1-methyl benzo(a)pyrene was about twice as active as was BP. Substitution of a methyl group in po...
متن کاملAssessment of hormonal activities and genotoxicity of industrial effluents using in vitro bioassays combined with chemical analysis.
Wastewaters from various industries are a main source of the contaminants in aquatic environments. The authors evaluated the hormonal activities (estrogenic/anti-estrogenic activities, androgenic/anti-androgenic activities) and genotoxicity of various effluents from textile and dyeing plants, electronic and electroplate factories, pulp and paper mills, fine chemical factories, and municipal was...
متن کاملFree radicals of benzo(a)pyrene and derivatives.
