Application


  • Enhanced degradation of carcinogenic PAHs benzo (a) pyrene and benzo (k) fluoranthene by a microbial consortia: Bioremediation of high molecular weight PAHs with a combination of microorganisms (S Guntupalli, V Thunuguntla, 2016).

  • Biotransformation of the high‐molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzofluoranthene by Sphingobium sp. strain KK22 and identification of metabolites: Biotransformation and identification of products from benzo[k]fluoranthene (AH Maeda, S Nishi, Y Hatada, Y Ozeki, 2014).

  • Investigation of the electrochemical properties of benzofluorenthene using a glassy carbon electrode and development of a square-wave voltammetric method for detection: Electrochemical behavior of benzo[k]fluorenthene and development of detection method (A Altun, Y Yardim, A Levent, 2023).

We developed a device and some systems for detecting benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and benzo[k]fluoranthene (B[k]F). The device uses a UV light-emitting diode that emits light with a wavelength of 370 nm and a violet laser diode that emits light with a

Certainpolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) induce CYP1A-dependent enzyme activities. Because PAHs are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, and some are aryl hydrocarbon agonists, CYP1A has been used as a biomarker for PAH exposure. However, PAHs exist in the environment

To date, studies about historic PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) deposition at a regional scale have rarely been published. To address this research gap, we sampled 17 ombrotrophic peatlands across eastern Canada. The peat cores from hollows were dated with 210Pb
