Certainpolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) induce CYP1A-dependent enzyme activities. Because PAHs are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, and some are aryl hydrocarbon agonists, CYP1A has been used as a biomarker for PAH exposure. However, PAHs exist in the environment

We developed a device and some systems for detecting benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and benzo[k]fluoranthene (B[k]F). The device uses a UV light-emitting diode that emits light with a wavelength of 370 nm and a violet laser diode that emits light with a

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutants of sediments. Sediment quality criteria often use toxicity data for individual PAHs. However, PAHs always occur in field sediments as a complex mixture of compounds. In this study, the toxicity of phenanthrene (P)
