Environmental science & technology, 39(10), 3646-3655 (2005-06-16)
The photodegradation of benzo[e]pyrene (BeP), a ubiquitous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminant, was investigated in solution and adsorbed on surfaces modeling the atmospheric particulate matter to provide fundamental information that could help to clarify its fate in the atmosphere. Diones

Environmental toxicology and chemistry, 27(7), 1526-1532 (2008-02-12)
The uptake kinetics of fluorene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, and benzo[e]pyrene by solid-phase microextraction fibers was studied in the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) obtained from sediment pore water and resulted in increased fiber absorption and desorption rate coefficients. Compared

A DFT study aimed at understanding structure-reactivity relationships and fluorine substitution effects on carbocation stability in benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), benzo[e]pyrene (BeP), and aza-benzo[a]pyrene (aza-BaP) derivatives are reported. The relative energies of the resulting carbocations are examined and compared, taking into account

Although it has been demonstrated that carcinogenic environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) cause progression of atherosclerosis, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether DNA binding events are critically involved in the progression of

The consequences of altered cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activities in colonic tissue are unknown. As an initial step toward elucidating underlying mechanisms that regulate cytochrome P450 levels in colonic epithelium, we have characterized CYP1A1(3) induction in cultured human colonic cells (Caco-2).
