Semi-volatile organic compounds and developing organisms : accumulation in California mountain tadpoles in the field and fish embryo exposures in the laboratory

Creator:

Stanley, Kerri A.

Abstract:

The atmospheric transport and deposition of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs), including current and historic use pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to mountain ecosystems may result in the exposure of tadpoles to these SOCs. This exposure has been implicated in amphibian population declines in California. Tadpoles encounter...

Antioxidant enzyme response in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after subchronic exposure to an environmentally-relevant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixture

Creator:

Norby, Tyler S.

Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are significant pollutants in aquatic environments. Many are carcinogenic and lead to DNA fragmentation and adduct formation in marine and freshwater organisms. Previous research demonstrates that rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) compensate to long-term PAH dietary exposures and reduce the DNA damage. The aim of this study...
