Development of a system to test for the toxicity of solar irradiated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and preliminary data using mammalian cell cultures

Creator:

McNair, Vannin Marie Hutchinson

Abstract:

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAH) classified as noncarcinogens may be photooxidized to mutagenic or toxic products by near-ultraviolet (NUV) wavelengths of sunlight (290-320 nm). The possibility that this represents a major degredation pathway in the aquatic environment is of increasing concern. Large quantities of PNAH from accidental oil spills, anthropogenic and...
