The concentration and distribution patterns of parent and polar PAHs including oxygenated PAHs (oxyPAHs), nitrated PAHs (NPAHs) and heterocyclic PAHs (HPAHs) were determined in water, sediment and oysters from an ecologically and economically important estuary of New South Wales, Australia. Total concentrations of PAHs, oxyPAHs, NPAHs and HPAHs were higher in sediments compared to oyster tissue and water. For most polar PAHs, total concentrations for water, sediment and oyster samples were <1 μg/g (μg/l for water) while parent PAH concentrations were several orders of magnitude higher. Computed biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) on lipid-normalized oyster concentrations revealed that while ∑oxyPAHs and ∑HPAHs exhibited low accumulation from sediment to oyster tissues (BSAF <1), ∑PAHs and ∑NPAH were found to be accumulated at high levels (BSAF >1). BSAF individual computation showed that bioaccumulation of nine investigated HPAHs in oyster tissues were relatively low and only 2-EAQ (oxyPAH) and 1N-NAP (NPAH) showed high levels of accumulation in oyster tissues, similar to parent PAHs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known study on the bioavailability of polar and non-polar PAHs in an Australian aquatic environment. The outcome of this study might be a useful indicator of the potential risks of polar PAHs to humans and other living organisms.]]> Thu 24 Mar 2022 13:44:29 AEDT ]]> Exploring the Composition and Functions of Plastic Microbiome Using Whole-Genome Sequencing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49403 Thu 22 Feb 2024 11:32:12 AEDT ]]> Fingerprinting Plastic-Associated Inorganic and Organic Matter on Plastic Aged in the Marine Environment for a Decade https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39702 Thu 22 Feb 2024 11:29:44 AEDT ]]> Understanding the Fundamental Basis for Biofilm Formation on Plastic Surfaces: Role of Conditioning Films https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43934 Thu 22 Feb 2024 11:11:02 AEDT ]]> Speciation and source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in sediments of the largest salt water lake of Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40471 Thu 14 Jul 2022 08:34:22 AEST ]]> Development of a method for identifying elevated vitellogenin gene expression in the Sydney Rock Oyster (Saccostrea glomerata) as an indicator of endocrine disruption on the Sunshine Coast https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9343 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:26 AEDT ]]> Aquatic zooremediation: deploying animals to remediate contaminated aquatic environments https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1961 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:13 AEDT ]]> Assessment of temperature or salinity effects on larval development by catecholamine-induced metamorphosis of hatchery-reared flat oyster, Ostrea angasi (Sowerby 1871) larvae https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25333 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:24 AEDT ]]> Analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their polar derivatives in soils of an industrial heritage city of Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38448 *10−7 (industrial soils) to 2.3*10−6 (residential soils), indicating negligible cancer risks.
