Aroclor 1254 was the second most produced commercial PCB mixture and is found in soils, sediments and sewage throughout the globe. This commercial PCB mixture is considered particularly toxic because of the relatively high concentrations of congeners with dioxin-like properties. The potential for risk reduction by microbial reductive dechlorination of Aroclor 1254 (A1254) was investigated in sediment microcosms from Grasse River (GR), Massena, NY. The specificity of A1254 dechlorination was doubly- and singly flanked chlorines in meta positions and to a less extent doubly-flanked para chlorines of 2345-substituted chlorobiphenyl rings. The average dechlorination rate of A1254 was 0.0153 Cl- /biphenyl/day, and dechlorination rates of single congeners ranged between 0.001 and 0.0074 Cl- /biphenyl/day. Potential risk associated with A1254 based on the toxic equivalency factors of the dioxin-like congeners was reduced by 83%. Additional potential risk associated with bioaccumulation in fish was reduced by 35% based on biota-sediment accumulation factor estimates for all detected congeners. Finally, the dechlorination end products were tri- and tetra-chlorobiphenyls with unflanked chlorines, all of which are susceptible to further degradation by aerobic microorganisms. The combined results indicate that microbial reductive dechlorination has the potential for reducing risk associated with toxicity and bioaccumulation in fish in sites contaminated with A1254.

Evaluation of PCB dechlorination pathways in anaerobic sediment microcosms using an anaerobic dechlorination model
Demirtepe, Hale; Kjellerup, Birthe; Sowers, Kevin R.; İmamoğlu, İpek (Elsevier BV, 2015-10-15)
A detailed quantitative analysis of anaerobic dechlorination (AD) pathways of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment microcosms was performed by applying an anaerobic dechlorination model (ADM). The purpose of ADM is to systematically analyze changes in a contaminant profile that result from microbial reductive dechlorination according to empirically determined dechlorination pathways. In contrast to prior studies that utilized modeling tools to predict dechlorination pathways, ADM also provides quant...
A comparative evaluation of anaerobic dechlorination of PCB-118 and Aroclor 1254 in sediment microcosms from three PCB-impacted environments
Kaya, Devrim; İmamoğlu, İpek; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Sowers, Kevin R. (Elsevier BV, 2018-01-05)
Aroclor 1254 (A1254) is the most toxic commercial PCB mixture produced, primarily due to its relatively high concentrations of dioxin-like congeners. This study demonstrates a comparative evaluation of dechlorination of A1254 and PCB-118 by indigenous organohalide respiring bacteria enriched from three PCB impacted sites: Grasse River (GR), NY; Fox River (FR), WI; and Baltimore Harbor (BH), MD. PCB 118 dechlorination rates in GR, BH, and FR was 0.0308, 0.015, and 0.0006 Cl-/biphenyl/day, respectively. A1254...
Modeling polychlorinated biphenyl congener patterns and dechlorination in dated sediments from the Ashtabula River, Ohio, USA
İmamoğlu, İpek; Chrıstensen, Er (Wiley, 2002-11-01)
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were analyzed in four deep, dated sediment cores from the Ashtabula River (OH, USA), for the purpose of identifying relevant PCB sources and congener patterns. The time span for three of the cores is from the mid 1960s to 1998, whereas the fourth has a time span of six years. The total PCB concentrations are in the range of 0.4 to 6.8 mug/g dry weight, with the highest concentrations observed in samples from the 1970s. A factor analysis (FA) model with nonnegative co...
Sorption/desorption of Cs on clay and soil fractions from various regions of Turkey
Aksoyoglu, S.; Göktürk, H. (Elsevier BV, 1988-2)
The sorption desorption behaviour of Cs ion in the concentration region of 10−8 to 10−4 meqml−1 have been studied using clay and soil fractions from various regions of Turkey. The sorption curves for all the material studied show similar behaviour indicating at least two different sorption processes. One with high and the other with low distribution coefficients. The results of desorption studies indicate that Cs cation is to a large extent attached to the solid material in a reversible manner. The adsorpti...
Accumulation of Some Heavy Metals Seasonally in Hysterotylacium aduncum (Nematoda) and Its Host Red Sea Bream, Pagellus erythrinus (Sparidae) from Gulf of Iskenderun (North-Eastern Mediterranean)
DURAL, MELTEM; Genc, Ercument; Yemenicioglu, Semal; SANGÜN, MUSTAFA KEMAL (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-01-01)
The Red Sea Bream's nematode and Sparus aurata, sampled from the Iskenderun Bay, North-eastern Mediterranean in March 2008 were analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) for their some heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mg, Pb and Zn) levels. The metal concentrations of the parasites were compared to different organs (liver, muscle, swimbladder, intestine and skin) of the fish hosts. The highest Cd (0.303 mg/kgg ww) concentrations were found in the muscle, highest Cr (4...
