چکیده
BCF1 (bioconcentration factor after the one day of exposition) value of BaP [benzo(a)pyrene] in strain A-8, Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck 1890 (Chlorella BB) was studied. The algae were cultured in a modified Kiihl-Lorentzen liquid medium at room temperature, under continuous illumination and stirring for 24

Effects of water hardness and dissolved organic material on bioavailability of selected organic chemicals.
The influence of water hardness and dissolved organic matter (DOM) on bioavailability of organic chemicals to Daphnia magna was studied by using benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), pyrene, atrazine, and 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB) as model compounds. Two types of DOM were used, namely Lake Kontiolampi, Joensuu, Finland water (KL) and Nordic reference fulvic acid (NoFA) dissolved in artificial freshwa...
متن کاملPotential of Fluorescence Imaging Techniques To Monitor Mutagenic PAH Uptake by Microalga
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is one of the major environmental pollutants that causes mutagenesis and cancer. BaP has been shown to accumulate in phytoplankton and zooplankton. We have studied the localization and aggregation of BaP in Chlorella sp., a microalga that is one of the primary producers in the food chain, using fluorescence confocal microscopy and f...

Background: Asphalt workers are exposed to dangerous agents in his workplace that might result in occupational diseases. Benzo (a) pyrene as a human carcinogen, is emission from hot asphalt and asphalt workers are exposed with it. The aim of this study was, evaluation of respiratory exposure to benzo (a) pyrene among asphalt workers. Method: In this study, 42 samples were collected from breath...
متن کاملDetermination of kinetic bioconcentration in mussels after short term exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
The kinetic bioconcentration of N-heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) after short waterborne exposure was studied. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), its analogue azaarene 10-azabenzo[a]pyrene (AzaBaP), and their mixture (Mix), were selected to monitor the changes in water concentrations over three days. Decay of both PAHs concentrat...
متن کاملConcentration dependence of biotransformation in fish liver S9: Optimizing substrate concentrations to estimate hepatic clearance for bioaccumulation assessment.
In vitro bioassays to estimate biotransformation rate constants of contaminants in fish are currently being investigated to improve bioaccumulation assessments of hydrophobic contaminants. The present study investigates the relationship between chemical substrate concentration and in vitro biotransformation rate of 4 environmental contaminants (9-methylanthracene, pyrene, chrysene, and benzo[a]...
