This book shows how the biological transport, bioaccumulation, disposition, and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the aquatic environment are influenced by the ability or inability of organisms to metabolize these environmental pollutants. Written by leading scientists in the fields of PAH metabolism and toxicity in both aquatic and mammalian systems, this book discusses recent advances in the areas of PAH biogeochemistry and bioaccumulation, microbial degradation, enzymes of activation, and detoxication, metabolism of PAH, and laboratory and field studies on carcinogenic/toxic effects. Additionally, important similarities and differences in metabolism of PAH by aquatic and terrestrial organisms are featured. The discussion of bioavailability, metabolism, and subsequent toxic effects should aid in the assessment of the ecological consequences of PAH in the aquatic environment.

Reviews for Metabolism of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Aquatic Environment

'Football academics and students of sociology are this book's obvious market. But it would be a shame if it was lost to the general reading public.' The Independent '[This book's] appearance is yet more evidence of the growing respectability of football as an area for academic study ... Packed with information and insights into some of the major conflicts and rivalries of domestic support around the world.' When Saturday Comes 'Armstrong and Giulianotti have delivered a finely crafted anthology that does contribute to the literature on football and reminds that, at its heart, football is about deeply felt and symbolically charged antagonisms.' Soccar and Society
