Biliary PAH metabolites and activation of the AhR were confirmed as suitable early warning biomarkers of exposure to suspended sediments containing DLCs and PAHs that corresponded well with analytically determined concentrations of those contaminants.
Biliary PAH metabolites and activation of the AhR, as assessed through hepatic abundance of transcripts of cpy1a and EROD activity, were confirmed as suitable early warning biomarkers of exposure to suspended sediments containing DLCs and PAHs that corresponded well with analytically determined concentrations of those contaminants.
Implicit in this conclusion was the idea that the drug, to be most effective, should be in communities near power plants, even in household medicine cabinets, so it can be given at the first warning of impending exposure.

It has now emerged that government officials were privately warning of the dangers of exposure to even low doses of the chemical and criticising the safety measures offered by manufacturers, prompting calls by senior political figures for a Hillsborough-style inquiry.
According to the researchers, such a quick-acting biomarker could provide critical early warning of possible acute exposures, where early treatment is critical to prevent neurological damage.
Nucla residents bristle at the warnings about the risk of exposure to radiation, and roll their eyes at A-listers like Darryl Hannah, the Hollywood actress known for Splash and Kill Bill, who joined the activism against the local uranium industry.
