Shailaja, M.S.; Rajamanickam, R.; Wahidullah, S. (Oxford University Press, 2006)Mutagenic nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitroPAHs) have been known to arise in the environment through direct emissions from combustion sources and nitration of PAHs, primarily in the atmosphere. Here we report ... -
Increased formation of carcinogenic PAH metabolites in fish promoted by nitrite
Shailaja, M.S.; Rajamanickam, R.; Wahidullah, S. (Elsevier, 2006)Nitrite (NO2−), a highly reactive chemical species, accumulates in coastal waters as a result of pollution with nitrogenous waste and/or an imbalance in the bacterial processes of nitrification and denitrification. The ...
