We investigated the distribution characteristic of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of soils from Dayan cave, a karst cavity in Guilin City, South China. The total PAHs concentrations from the inner cave ranged from 7.22 to 117.29 ng x g(-1) were much lower than those of outside cave (range
Naphthalene cations (C10H+8) were produced in a slit jet coupled with an electronic discharge, and cavity ring down was used to obtain its absorption spectrum in the region 645-680 nm. Two of the strongest C10H+8 bands previously characterized by matrix isolation spectroscopy were found, both with a
The authors investigated the smoking patterns in a consecutive series of 20 patients with oral cancer and at the same time assessed the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) inducibility distribution and dental status. The AHH level proved high in 8 patients, intermediate in 7 and low in 5. High AHH
In this study, a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model for the prediction of Henry's law constants of aliphatic hydrocarbons in air-water system has been developed, based on a data-set of 189 compounds. The well-known linear thermodynamic relation between the logarithm of Henry's
Infrared absorption spectra of the CH stretching region were observed for naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and perylene using a heated, supersonic, slit-jet source and cavity ringdown spectroscopy. Band positions and intensities recorded with 0.2-cm-1 resolution were compared with
OBJECTIVE
The role of occupational risk factors in oral and pharyngeal cancer is not well known and is possibly underestimated. This quantitative review summarizes epidemiological findings on exposure to asbestos, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and solvents, and cancers of the oral cavity and
This work explores electron transfer through nonbonded contacts in two U-shaped DBA molecules 1DBA and 2DBA by measuring electron-transfer rates in organic solvents of different polarities. These molecules have identical U-shaped norbornylogous frameworks, 12 bonds in length and with
Liquid hydrocarbon fuels play an essential part in the global energy chain, owing to their high energy density and easy transportability. Olefins play a similar role in the production of consumer goods. In a post-oil society, fuel and olefin production will rely on alternative carbon sources, such
Two currently used methods of calculating the area of contact between a solute molecule and the solvent are examined and some important differences are pointed out. Some pitfalls and uncertainties in the application of the concept of molecular surface area to the quantitative estimation of unitary
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are known to oxidize hydrocarbons, albeit with limited substrate specificity across classes of these compounds. Here we report a P450 monooxygenase (CYP63A2) from the model ligninolytic white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium that was found to possess a
Female mice of 6 strains (C3H/HeN, BALB/c, C57BL/6N, DBA/2, NIH Swiss, and AKR/N) were given the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon carcinogen 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) intragastrically in olive oil at a dose of 20 mg/kg, weekly for 12 wk. Half were pretreated 24 h before each MC administration with
We have previously reported that the trimeric Zn(2+)-cyclen complex (tris(Zn(2+)-cyclen), [Zn(3)L(1)](6+)) and the trianion of trithiocyanuric acid (TCA(3-)) assembled in a 4:4 ratio to form a cuboctahedral supramolecular cage, [(Zn(3)L(1))(4)(TCA(3-))(4)](12+) (hereafter referred to as a Zn-cage),
Alkyl carboxylic acid-based nanostructured solvents, synthesized in mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water through self-assembly and coacervation, were proved to behave as restricted access liquids. Both physical and chemical mechanisms were found responsible for exclusion of macromolecules
