Evaluation of Marine Waste Water And Aromatic Hydrocarbons Toxicity Using A Battery of Assays
Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the toxic effects of marine wastewater and representative aromatic hydrocarbons using a battery of assays. The methods employed for the toxicological evaluation involve physic-chemical analysis of the marine wastewater, toxi-chromo test using mutant E coli and sub-chronic animal toxicity testing with emphasis on body weight determination, biochemical indices and histopathological examination. The results showed that Nembe water side wastewater sample contain …

Pyrethroid Mediated Some Macromolecular and Biochemical Changes in Freshwater Teleost
Abstract: Abstract In present investigation, a freshwater fish Channa punctatus was exposed for 21 days to synthetic pyrethroid malathion at sublethal concentrations of 0.007mg L−1 and 0.093 mg L−1 that represented 10% of the 96 h LC50 of the pesticide for this fish. Tissue samples were collected at the end of the experiment and analyzed to determine oxidant/antioxidants status (catalase, LDH, DNA content, protein content, cortisol, etc.) of the fish. Enzyme …

Toxicological Evaluation Of Two Nigerian Refinery Effluents Using Natural Biomonitors
Abstract: Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate the toxic effects of two Nigerian refineries’ effluents using natural bio-monitors. Standard physicochemical analysis, toxi-chromo test using mutant E. coli and sub-chronic animal toxicity testing with emphasis on tissue heavy metal accumulation, biochemical parameters and histopathology, were adopted during the study. The physicochemical results revealed that the two effluent samples are highly polluted although PH sample was more polluted than the Warri sample. …
