The Pearl River estuary, southern China, suffers from multiple sources of metal contamination as a result of the rapid industrial development in the region; but the biological impacts of contamination remain unknown. In the present study, a euryhaline oyster, Crassostrea hongkongensis, was collected from different sites of the Pearl River ...
Several pharmaceuticals were detected in sediments, the most abundant being citalopram, bisoprolol, and propranolol. At site A, pharmaceuticals prevailed only in the uppermost 15 cm, whereas at site B they existed in the whole sediment column (0–30 cm). Pharmaceuticals were not found in site C sediments. Based on the sterol analyses, municipal ...
Applicability: The primary target contaminants for cometabolism are the chlorinated solvents. Current work is focussing on expanding the list to include such contaminants as pesticides and PCBs. It has been demonstrated that certain fuels can support cometabolism of chlorinated solvents and it is speculated that at many co-contaminated ...
