| Abstract |
The Cholinesterase Antagonist Monitors ('CAM's') normally use cholinesterase as the sensor in the detection of organophosphate and carbamate pesticides. The present investigation has been concerned with a search for alternate enzymes that could be used in the CAM system and that would enable it to detect a variety of other types of environmentally important toxic chemicals including chlorinated hydrocarbons, phenols, aryl phosphates, cyanide, heavy metals, etc. Five enzymes including alkaline phosphatase, carboxyl esterase, glucose oxidase, carbonic anhydrase, and hexokinase have been incubated with dilute solutions of toxic chemicals and the degree of enzyme inhibited by low levels of toxic test compounds. It is concluded that these and similar enzymes are of potential value in the detection and monitoring of toxic substances in water. |
