| Abstract |
Carbon-14 labeled benz(a)anthracene was introduced into a large-scale marine microcosm containing an ecosystem functioning in a manner that was in many respects typical of the shallow coastal waters of the northeastern United States. The radio-tracer label made it possible to follow the removal of benz(a)anthracene and labeled metabolites from the water column, their appearance and mixing into the sediments, and the production of 14CO2 for 230 days. At the end of the experiment, 29% had been respired to CO2, while the remaining extractable activity (43%) was evenly divided between parent compound and intermediate metabolic products. |
