Dynamics of hydrophobic organic chemical bioconcentration in fishEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 6 Số 7 - Trang 495-504 - 1987
Frank A. P. C. Gobas, Donald Mackay
AbstractA model is presented describing the kinetics of uptake and release of
nonmetabolizing organic chemicals by fish from water. The model contains three
parameters: a bioconcentration factor which is specific to the chemical (and can
be characterized by the octanol/water partition coefficient and fish lipid
content), a water‐phase resistance term and a lipid‐phase resistance term which
are spe... hiện toàn bộ
Interspecies scaling of the bioaccumulation of lipophilic xenobiotics in fish: An example using trifluralinEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 18 Số 7 - Trang 1440-1449 - 1999
Irvin R. Schultz, William L. Hayton
AbstractA poorly understood factor that may influence differences in the
accumulation of a xenobiotic among fishes is interspecies differences in
physiology. We have extensively studied the uptake, distribution, and excretion
kinetics of the lipophilic herbicide trifluralin (TF) in fish, using a static
water exposure system and compartmental toxicokinetic models. We obtained
quantitative estimates... hiện toàn bộ
Occurrence of retene and resin acids in sediments and fish bile from a lake receiving pulp and paper mill effluentsEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 18 Số 7 - Trang 1498-1505 - 1999
Harri Leppänen, Aimo Oikari
AbstractRetene (7‐isopropyl−1‐methylphenanthrene) is a dialkyl‐substituted PAH
derived thermally and microbially from dehydroabietic acid. We have analyzed for
retene and several resin acids in sediments at five depths at several sites in a
lake receiving effluents from three pulp and paper mills, and two upstream
reference sites. The highest concentration of retene was 1,600 μg/g dry weight
(11,7... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of ethinylestradiol on the reproduction and induction of vitellogenin and testis‐ova in medaka (Oryzias latipes)Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 21 Số 8 - Trang 1692-1698 - 2002
Masanori Seki, Hirofumi Yokota, Haruki Matsubara, Tatsuya Oda, Hiroshi Tadokoro, Kunio Kobayashi
AbstractMature medaka (Oryzias latipes) were exposed to ethinylestradiol (EE2)
at measured concentrations of 32.6, 63.9, 116, 261, and 488 ng/L for 21 d under
flow‐through conditions. Effects on reproductive success of the fish as well as
on gonadal condition and vitellogenin (VTG) induction were assessed. A
significant decrease in fecundity was observed only at the highest EE2
concentration, wher... hiện toàn bộ
Critical appraisal of the evidence for tributyltin‐mediated endocrine disruption in mollusksEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 37-43 - 1998
Peter Matthiessen, Peter Gibbs
AbstractThis article reviews the field and laboratory evidence for endocrine
disruption in gastropod mollusks caused by tributyltin (TBT). Abundant and
undisputed field data link TBT with an irreversible sexual abnormality of female
neogastropod snails known as “imposex.” This phenomenon is a masculinization
process involving the development of male sex organs, notably a penis and a vas
deferens; ... hiện toàn bộ
Inhibition of testicular growth in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to estrogenic alkylphenolic chemicalsEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 15 Số 2 - Trang 194-202 - 1996
Susan Jobling, John P. Sumpter, Dave Sheahan, Julia A. Osborne, Peter Matthiessen
AbstractIt is becoming evident that an increasing number of widely used
industrial and agricultural chemicals are estrogenic. The biodegradation
products of a major group of nonionic surfactants, the alkylphenol
polyethoxylates, are one such group. Some of these chemicals are widespread
aquatic pollutants, and bioconcentrate in aquatic biota. Exposure of male
rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to... hiện toàn bộ
Linkage of biochemical responses to population‐level effects: A case study with vitellogenin in the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas)Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 26 Số 3 - Trang 521-527 - 2007
David Miller, Kathleen Jensen, Daniel L. Villeneuve, Michael D. Kahl, Elizabeth A. Makynen, Elizabeth J. Durhan, Gerald T. Ankley
AbstractA challenge in the field of ecotoxicology is the linkage of alterations
at molecular and biochemical levels of organization to adverse outcomes in
individuals and populations. In the present study, a predictive relationship
between plasma vitellogenin (VTG) concentration and fecundity in female fathead
minnows (Pimephales promelas) was derived from 21‐d laboratory toxicity tests
with five ... hiện toàn bộ
Predictive model for aerobic biodegradability developed from a file of evaluated biodegradation dataEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 593-603 - 1992
Philip H. Howard, William Stiteler, William M. Meylan, Amy E. Hueber, Julie A. Beauman, Michael E. Larosche, Robert S. Boethling
AbstractA file of evaluated biodegradation data was used to develop a model for
predicting aerobic biodegradability from chemical substructures. Chemicals
initially were divided into three groups: (a) chemicals that degrade rapidly
under most environmental conditions without requiring acclimation; (b) chemicals
that are biodegradable, but only after an acclimation period; and (c) chemicals
that de... hiện toàn bộ
