- Abstract
The article reports on the metabolism of 2-Nitrofluorene, an environmental pollutant, and 2-Acetylaminofluorene in fish. Nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been found in diesel engine exhaust, urban pollution sources, wastewater from gasoline stations, cigarette smoke among others. These pollutants, many of which are carcinogenic and mutagenic, enter waterways through atmospheric fallout of airborne particles associated with smog and by release of urban wastewater into the environment. Fish have the ability to metabolize a variety of compounds such as pesticides and environmental contaminants.
