Bioaccumulation of carbazoles: a potential effluent from synthetic fuels

The bioaccumulation potential and kinetics of carbazole and 13 H dibenzo(a,I)carbazole, two members of a class of mutagenic and/or carcinogenic organic compounds in aqueous wastes from coal conversion technologies, in the zooplankter Daphnia pulex is reported. The bioaccumulation potential of 13 H d...

Zusammenfassung:The bioaccumulation potential and kinetics of carbazole and 13 H dibenzo(a,I)carbazole, two members of a class of mutagenic and/or carcinogenic organic compounds in aqueous wastes from coal conversion technologies, in the zooplankter Daphnia pulex is reported. The bioaccumulation potential of 13 H dibenzo(a,I)carbazole is within an order of magnitude of the observed levels of accumulation in D. Pulex of such substances as DDT and aldrin. Carbazole was not accumulated to a very high degree.
