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

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.
Dimethylbenzothiophenes are among the sulfur heterocycles in petroleum that are known to be degraded by microbial activity. Six of the 15 possible isomers of dimethylbenzothiophene were synthesized and used in bio-transformation studies with three Pseudomonas isolates that oxidize a variety

A combined experimental-computational approach was used to study the self-organization and microenvironment of 1-methylnaphthalene (1MN) deposited on the surface of artificial snow grains from vapors at 238 K. The specific surface area of this snow (1.1 × 10(4) cm(2) g(-1))

The carcinogenic potential of 1-methylnaphthalene (1-MN), a compound which exists widely in the environment, was investigated in B6C3F1 mice. Groups of 50 male and 50 female mice were given diets containing 0, 0.075, or 0.15% 1-MN for 81 weeks. Both
