Pyrolytically coated graphite tubes, equipped with integrated or L'vov platfoms, were used in the determination of arsenic by GFAAS. Palladium-magnesium nitrate was used as a matrix modifier.

No intersex conditions were observed in male fish collected either above or below the major STW on the River Ouse in Sussex. In contrast, roach showing primary oocytes in their testes were found in all three French rivers with the incidence ranging from 9 to 21 % of the males. An intersex chubb and gudgeon were also caught, showing that other species can suffer from this pathology. In addition, roach in the River Seine were heavily parasitised with the tapeworm Ligula intestinalis which may impair the reproductive capabilities of the fish.

Reproductive hormone-receptor systems appear to be especially vulnerable. Hormonal disturbances in wildlife include sex changes in riverine fish and marine snails, reproductive failure in birds, genital tract malformations in mammals. These effects may be attributed to various classes of chemicals such as chlorinated pesticides (DDT, endrin, pentachlorophenol) or chlorinated aromatic compounds (PCBs, dioxins), metals (cadmium, selenium, zinc, mercury, tributyltin), alkylphenols (nonylphenol, pentylphenol, bisphenol), phytooestrogens. The identification of the chemicals responsible of these reproductive alterations is difficult and demands the development of specific procedures to analyse these compounds in complex environmental mixtures. Moreover the causal relationships between the exposure to these substances by wildlife organisms and the adverse effects on reproduction in the environment are not yet clear evidence.","PeriodicalId":8221,"journal":{"name":"Analusis","volume":"11 1","pages":"761-762"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90904229","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}

With a sample volume of 10-50 ml and an elution volume of 500 µl, a signal was 20-100 times higher than the signal given by a continuous aspiration system. The method gave good reproducibility with precisions less than 7 % RSD for 5 replicates at the 10 ng/ml level for both Cr- species. Recoveries between 95 and 98 % were obtained for Cr 3+ and Cr6+. The preconcentration system and the methodology proposed were validated on several natural water samples, on reference water samples as well as on synthetic seawater.
