Alkylphenol polyethoxylates (APEs) called environmental endocrine disruptors has been shown to accumulate in water around the world. In this study.. the pollution level of alkylphenolic compounds was measured and quantified in water, sediment, and the tissues of fishes collected in two rivers, Sakarya and Degirmendere Rivers, Turkey. Butylphenol (BP) were detected in sediment samples at one sampling stations of both rivers with 1.68 and 3.15 mug/g sediment, while nonylphenol (NP) were detected with the amount of 4.46 mug/g sediment in one sampling station in Degirmendere river. Fish samples also showed the presence of alkylphenolic compounds in both rivers. The level of alkylphenol pollution in two rivers of Turkey was determined to be in the range of alkylphenol level reported in Europe but lower than that of in the USA.

Characterization of aldrin epoxidation in flathead mullet (Mugil cephalus) liver microsomes: Involvement of CYP3A BOZCAARMUTLU, AZRA; Turna, S.; Erden, C. Sapmaz; Yenisoy-Karakas, S.; Arinc, E. (2011-08-28) Toxic organochlorine pesticides, aldrin and its metabolite dieldrin, have been reported to contaminate the aquatic environment highly. In the present study, epoxidation reaction of aldrin to dieldrin was studied in mullet liver microsomes and contribution of cytochrome P450 isozyme(s) was determined by using specific cytochrome P450 inhibitors and substrate. Flathead mullet samples (Mugil cephalus) were caught from the West Black Sea Region of Turkey. Fish liver microsomes were prepared by differential cent...
Imidacloprid elimination by O-3 and O-3/UV: kinetics study, matrix effect, and mechanism insight Baghirzade, Busra Sonmez; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-25) The removal of imidacloprid (IMI) from water by ozonation (O-3) and photo-ozonation (O-3/UV) was comparatively studied, paying particular attention to the kinetics, matrix effect, and mechanistic aspects of the processes. The IMI removal by O-3 was considerably enhanced at alkaline pHs, leading to almost complete removal under 20 min with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.2374 min(-1) at pH 8.25. Three different matrices, Milli-Q water, full-scale vacuum rotating membrane bioreactor plant effluent (VR...
Biofilms attached to Myriophyllum spicatum play a dominant role in nitrogen removal in constructed wetland mesocosms with submersed macrophytes: Evidence from N-15 tracking, nitrogen budgets and metagenomics analyses Mu, Xiaoying; Lv, Xiaoyang; Liu, Wei; Qiu, Changhao; Ma, Yu; Zhang, Songhe; Jeppesen, Erik (Elsevier BV, 2020-11-01) The mechanisms behind nitrogen removal by the submersed macrophyte-biofilm complex in wetlands remain to be fully elucidated. This study investigated the role of Myriophyllum spicatum and the biofilm on their leaves in nitrogen removal in mesocosm experiments. N-15 tracking showed that 61.9% and 30% of the N-15, respectively, was removed from the system and assimilated by the macrophyte-biofilm complex after loading with 5.4 mg L-1 N-15 labelled NH4+ for 17 days. Nitrogen budget results showed that about 0....
17 beta-estradiol induced compositional, structural and functional changes in rainbow trout liver, revealed by FT-IR spectroscopy: A comparative study with nonylphenol Cakmak, G; Togan, İnci Zehra; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-20) Steroidal hormones produced by humans and animals are constantly being excreted into the environment. It has been demonstrated that sewage effluent discharged to surface water contains natural estrogens and synthetic estrogenic chemicals. As estrogen levels continuously increase in the aquatic environment, it is very important to have a detailed understanding of estrogens' effects on fish. In the present study, juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were exposed to 17 beta-estradiol (E2) for 3 weeks a...
Water column nutrient concentrations are related to excretion by benthic invertebrates in Lake Taihu, China Peng, Kai; Qin, Boqiang; Cai, Yongjiu; Gong, Zhijun; Jeppesen, Erik (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-01) Internal release of nutrients is an important contributor to the nutrient dynamics in shallow eutrophic lakes. Zoobenthic organisms may contribute to this release by excreting nutrients to the overlaying water. Based on experiments and using results from previous experimental studies as well as field monitoring density data from 2007 to 2017, we calculated the annual and seasonal nutrient excretions of the two most common macroinvertebrates (Corbicula fluminea and Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri) in Lake Taihu, Ch...
