Elevated activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected in histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium after the bacteria were-preincubated for 1 h at 37OC with S-9 mix and paraquat (methylviologen, PQ") at 1 0 -4 M . A fivefold increase in SOD level was found for strains TA 9 8 an

## Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are abundant pollutants, and many PAHs are carcinogenic, but only after metabolic activation. Benzo[__a__]pyrene (B __a__P) is among the most carcinogenic PAHs. The dose and time response of two enzymes involved in B __a__P metabolism and the amou
A simple radioassay method is described to measure specifically and quantitatively the metabolic activation of the carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to a derivative which reacts covalently with a macromolecular target molecule (protein). The NADPH\*-dependent formation of this ma~romoiecule-hydrocarbon
## Abstract Environmental toxicologists rarely investigate multigeneration effects of aquatic contaminants. In this study we investigated the survivorship of fathead minnow larvae two generations removed from an exposure to the potent mutagen benzo[__a__]pyrene. The F2 broods with a grandparental e
