Determination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in biota and sediment.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2012)
Polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are environmental contaminants regulated by the Stockholm Convention of Persistent Organic Pollutants. Being ...
Supporting variables for biological effects measurements in fish and blue mussel.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2017)
Biological effects measurements in fish and blue mussel are fundamental in marine environmental monitoring. Nevertheless, currently used biomarkers may be confounded by basic physiological phenomena, such as growth, ...
Guidelines for determining polymer-water and polymer-polymer partition coefficients of organic compounds.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2017)
Methods for the experimental determination of polymer-water partition coefficients (Kpw) and polymer-polymer partition coefficients (Kp1p2) are reviewed with the aim to improve the quality of passive sampling-based monitoring ...
Protocol for measuring dioxin-like activity in environmental sample using in vitro reporter gene dr-luc assays.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013)
Guidelines are given for the quantification of the dioxin-like activities of contaminants in sediment, biota and water samples using the DR-Luc reporter gene bioassay. Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds demonstrate high ...
Biological effects of contaminants: Paracentrotus lividus sea urchin embryo test with marine sediment elutriates.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2012)
This ICES Techniques in Marine Environmental Sciences describes a sediment elutriate bioassay using embryos of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, a species widely distributed in both Atlantic and European Mediterranean ...
Determination of CYP1A-dependent mono-oxygenase activity in dab by fluorimetric measurement of EROD activity in S9 or microsomal liver fractions.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2016)
This paper describes a method for the determination of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) in fish liver fractions by the measurement of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity. The proposed method is by fluorescent assay of ...
Determination of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) in sediment and biota.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2010)
This document provides advice on the analysis of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)
in sediment and biota. The analysis of HBCD in sediment and biota generally
involves extraction with organic solvents, clean‐up, and either ...
Monitoring organotins in marine biota.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2010)
These guidelines provide best practices for the measurement of organotin compounds in biota for monitoring programmes. Target compounds include tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT), and monobutyltin (MBT) as well as ...
Determination of alkyl phenol metabolites in fish bile using solid-phase analytical derivatization (SPAD) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in electron ionization mode (GC-EI-MS).
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2012)
This document provides advice on the analysis of alkylphenol (AP) metabolites in fish bile. APs are released to aquatic environments from many different sources related to human activities, such as offshore oil production. ...
Determination of parent and alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in biota and sediment.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2010)
This document provides advice on the analysis of parent and alkylated polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in total sediment, sieved fractions, suspended
particulate matter, and biota (shellfish). The determination ...
