Chromosome analyses were carried out in human lymphocytes treated in vitro with 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene (1-MN, 2-MN) in the presence and absence of the mammalian metabolic activation system, S9 mix. Without S9 mix there was no indication of induction of

Two synthetic, polymer-derived carbons were modified with urea to incorporate nitrogen surface functional groups. Then they were investigated as adsorbents of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4, 6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (DMDBT) from simulated diesel fuel under dynamic conditions with the total concentration of sulfur

Male Swiss-Webster mice were exposed to naphthalene, 1-methyl-, 2-methyl-, 1-nitro- and 2-nitronaphthalene by intraperitoneal injection of peanut oil solutions over a dose range of 0.5-3.0 mmol kg-1 body weight. Treated mice were killed at times from 6 hours to 14

Cunninghamella elegans metabolized 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene primarily at the methyl group to form 1- and 2-hydroxymethylnaphthalene, respectively. Other compounds isolated and identified were 1- and 2-naphthoic acids, 5-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid, 5-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and phenolic derivatives of 1- and 2-methylnaphthalene.
The majority of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) released to the environment come from anthropogenic sources involving the incomplete combustion of organic compounds. Several techniques are available for the degradation of PAHs. Among the abiotic/biotic processes used to degrade PAHs, an
