| genotoxicant accumulation and cellular defence activation in bivalves chronically exposed to waterborne contaminants from the seine river. | the aim of the present work was to investigate genotoxicant accumulation and biological responses of zebra mussels and blue mussels collected along a pollution gradient in the seine estuary and in the seine bay. the sampling area included three contaminated and one reference sites for each species. the study focused on polyaromatic hydrocarbons (pah), lindane, polychlorobiphenyls (pcb) and metals known to be potential genotoxicants and/or reactive oxygen species (ros) inducers. enzymatic activit ... | 2006 | 16834997 |
