Fifty percent effective concentrations for growth (EC50) were 2.14 μg/L in TBT and 1.14 μg/L in Irgarol. Chlorophyll a content per one cell (pg/cell) was significantly decreased at the highest Irgarol concentration (1.0 μg/L) but chlorophyll c content was not affected. Following TBT treatment, however, both chlorophyll a and c content per cell increased significantly at the highest concentration (2.0 μg/L). The ratio of chlorophyll a and c content (chl. a/c ratio) decreased significantly and the minimum level of chlorophyll fluorescence (Fo) per μg/ mL of chlorophyll a (Fo/chl. a) increased significantly in all Irgarol treatment groups, but TBT had no effect on either parameter. The present results suggest that TBT has no direct effect on electron flow in the photosystem and that the chl. a/c ratio and Fo/chl. a are sensitive bio-markers for detecting the effect of the PSII inhibitor in diatoms.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84308613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both PAHs and alkPAHs in bivalve tissues were determined by GC/MS. Total PAHs (∑PAHs) were 87.3-361, 212214 and 70.9-351 ng/g dry weight (dw) in blue mussels, green mussels and oysters, respectively. Meanwhile, total alkPAHs (∑alkPAHs) were 466-3293, 950-1788 and 2862787 ng/g dw in blue mussels, green mussels and oysters, respectively. When compared to their reported concentrations in sediments, ∑PAH were much lower while ∑alkPAH were higher in bivalves. Moreover, ∑alkPAHs in bivalves of each samling site were 1.89.8 times higher than ∑PAHs although ∑alkPAHs in sediment of each sampling site were 1.2-4.5 times lower than ∑PAHs. On the other hand, of the PAHs, naphthalene showed the highest concentration in bivalves for most of the sampling sites. Fortunately, benzo(a)pyrene and PAH4 concentrations in bivalves from Osaka Bay were within the EU criteria. For individual alkPAHs in bivalves, the naphthalene, dibenzothiophene, and phenanthrene/anthracene groups were accumulated at relatively high concentrations. These results suggest that the low molecular weight alkPAHs have higher tendency to pollute water columns.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"38 1","pages":"11-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85365195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the 3 years, we recorded the following average numbers of live D. magna offspring after the 21-d tests: 17–233, 14–223, 29–210, and 84–209 in St. 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The average numbers in August 2007, May and September 2008, and April 2009 at St. 1; August 2007 and May 2008 at St. 2, and June 2007 and April 2009 at St. 3 were significantly lower than those of the control(ANOVA, P < 0.01). The results of the above tests suggest that D. magna may be affected not only by the overall pesticide toxicity in the river water, but also by other factors that were not clarified in the present study. In addition, significant positive correlations were observed at each site between the body length of D. magna and the total number of offspring at 7 d(r = 0.783), 14 d(r = 0.772), and 21 d(r = 0.931)after the test began on 10 May 2008. These findings suggest that the body length of D. magna might be used to evaluate the toxicological effects of river water, even at 7 d, by using the standard chronic toxicity test.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"46 1","pages":"19-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89948642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, bioconcentration of NPAHs by marbled flounder, Pleuronectes yokohamae exposed to a mixture of six NPAHs was investigated in a continuous flow-through system for a period of seven days exposure followed immediately with seven days elimination. P. yokohamae is one of commercially important fish in Japan and is known to accumulate pollutants. Results show that NPAHs steady-state conditions were established from day 1 to 4 of exposure. Estimated bioconcentration factors(BCFs)ranged from 4 to 422 with 6-nitrochrysene and 2-nitrofluorene having the lowest and highest BCFs, respectively. Half-lives were from 0.96 to 5.59 days with 2-nitroflourene and 6-nitrochrysene being the shortest and the longest, respectively. The present study showed that waterborne NPAHs were accumulated by marbled flounder but the BCFs were lower than reported values of their parent PAHs. Furthermore, the difference in BCFs between NPAHs and PAHs could be attributed to the biotransformation processes and steric hindrance of these compounds.","PeriodicalId":14585,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of environmental toxicology","volume":"99 1","pages":"91-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85913007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
