7,12-DimethyIbenz(a)anthracene, a carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound, significantly en hanced the transplantability and stimulated the growth of a pituitary tumor in rats. Estrogen was less effective than 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracne. The combination of 7,12dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and estrogen showed a synergistic effect. Hormone production by the tumor was not impaired by...

Finding an environment-friendly and affordable method to remove contaminated soils from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) has now become an attractive field for researchers, with super-critical fluid extraction being an innovative process in the field of contaminated soil treatment. Extraction with super-critical fluid is a simple and rapid extraction process that uses super-critical flui...
