β¦ Synopsis
This in vitro study provides evidence that the anionic detergent linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) enters energized lysosomes from rat liver. Because LAS is lipophilic and negatively charged, the uptake is due to the presence of a positive inside potential induced by energization of lysosomes. This accumulation could explain some damage caused by sublethal doses of detergent in some aquatic species, as it has been found that LAS inhibits lysosomal enzymes such as acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase.

Sewage sludge is widely used as a fertilizer or disposed of by land application. Sewage sludge often contains potentially toxic compounds and elements in significant concentrations. A major component is the anionic detergent, linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), which is frequently used in industria
## Abstract We propose a study of the matrix effect in the determination of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) in sewage sludge samples. First, a rapid, selective and sensitive method is proposed. The method involves two stages: the extraction of the compound from the samples and analysis by liqu
The acute toxicities of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and tributyltin (TBT) to the marine copepod Acartia tonsa were tested in 48-h tests at two salinities, 18 and 28β°. For LAS 48-h median lethal concentration (LC50) values were 2.1 and 8.8 mg/L, respectively. For TBT the 48-h LC50 values were
Collisionally activated dissociation of deprotonated aromatic sulfonic acids in the gas phase causes rearrangement and fragmentation to produce the corresponding phenoxide ions. The mechanism for this reaction has been investigated and the results of this study favor initial intramolecular nucleophi
