the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sensitivity of plant bioassays:tradescantia-micronucleus (trad-mcn) tests using bnl 02 and 4430 clones, and crepis capillaris hairyroots chromosome aberrations test. the evaluation of the sensitivity of the tests was based on the example of the analysis of the genotoxicity of water samples from two natural water reservoirs in poland: the raw...

an efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withh5io6/v2o5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][pf6] has been developed. high yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. the catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

a new sorbent composed of 3-aminopropyltriethoxy-silane-coated magnetic nanoparticles, functionalized with rhodium(iii) porphyrin complex was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga). the effect of some co-existing anions present in aq...

Concentrated drinking water extracts prepared by adsorption onto XAD-2 resin have been tested for their ability to induce chromosome damage in mammalian cells. Extracts prepared from drinking waters derived from upland and lowland sources have been found to induce chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and human lymphocytes in vitro. Although the identity of the compounds r...
