Seabed attributes and meiofaunal abundance associated with a hydrodynamic gradient in Baynes Sound, British Columbia, Canada
No full textSutherland, T.F.; Garcia-Hoyos, L.M.; Poon, P.; Krassovski, M.V.; Foreman, M.G.G.; Martin, A.J., and Amos, C.L., 2018. Seabed attributes and meiofaunal abundance associated with a hydrodynamic gradient in Baynes Sound, British Columbia, Canada. The distribution of seabed geotechnical, biochemical, and meiofauna attributes was examined in Baynes Sound, British Columbia, between 2009 and 2014. Among attributes measured were sediment porosity, organic carbon and nitrogen, and trace element concentrations (e.g., zinc, copper), which increased with increasing sediment fines content toward the head of the Sound. A ternary plot (sand-silt-clay percentages) revealed a constant clay/silt ratio across a range of sand proportions with textures ranging from well-sorted sand at the high-energy SE entrance to silt-dominated mud in the depositional basin. These sediment textures were related to modeled maximum velocity values within 5 m of the seabed (Umax,5), with highest values (restricted entrance) and lowest values (deep basin) representing sand depositional and mud depositional facies. Sediment porewater sulfide fell into an oxic category (0-700 μM), exhibiting a lack of variation and organic enrichment within the Sound. The first principal component analysis (PCA) factor described the alignment between fine sediments, organics, Cu and Zn, and meiofauna attributes and accounted for 49% of the total variance. The second PCA factor (19% of total variance) described the relationship between Umax,5 and sediment grain size fractions >0.5 mm and an indirect association with water depth and fine sand (0.105-0.250 mm). Meiofauna were associated with a medium sand fraction (0.25 mm) characterized by low-porosity and low-organic sand loam textures. Although the range in abundance was relatively greater for nematodes, harpacticoid copepods revealed a stronger response to changes in sediment geotechnical and organic attributes, suggesting these taxa may be used to describe seabed variations or potential perturbations.</p

A study of the acid lability and acute toxicity of dimethoxymethane in rats
No full textThe pH stability and acute oral toxicity of dimethoxymethane (DMM) in rats were studied, In in vitro studies, DMM was found to be stable in artificial gastric juice at pH 2.5 and above but readily hydrolyzed at pH2 and below, with 1 mole of DMM producing approximately 1 mole of formaldehyde and 2 moles of methanol. DMM incubated in sealed, excised stomachs appeared to equilibrate with the external incubation fluid over a 24-hour period without significant hydrolysis, In the toxicity study, three groups of female rats (n = 5) were administered, by gavage, phosphate-buffered saline (control), DMM (31 mmoles/kg body weight [bw]/day), or methanol (MeOH) (30 mmoles/kg bw/day), respectively, for 3 consecutive days and then sacrificed on day 5, Transient ataxia lasting about 30 minutes was observed in animals following DMM administration, increased urine volume was observed in the DMM group at the end of days 4 and 5, Markedly elevated level of formic acid was present in the urine of the MeOH group at days 1, 2, and 3, but not in the DMM group, Urinary ascorbic acid levels were increased In the DMM group on days 1, 2 and 3, and returned to baseline level at days 4 and 5, Microscopic examination detected no abnormal histological changes in the liver and kidneys of MeOH- or DMM-treated animals, No treatment effects were observed on the following endpoints: organ weights (liver, heart, thymus, kidneys), serum corticosterone, serum chemistry profile, hematology, hepatic phase 1 and phase 2 mixed-function oxidase activities, hepatic and serum thiobarbituric acid, hepatic glutathione, urinary protein, and urinary N-acetylglucosaminidase activity, These observations suggested that hydrolysis of DMM in the stomach required a gastric acidity below pH 2,5, At higher DW, intact DMM readily penetrated the stomach and therefore likely reached the circulation and other body tissues. There was no significant hydrolysis of orally administered DMM, and the acute effects were limited to transient ataxia and biochemical responses in the liver.PT: J; CR: *ACGIH, THRESH VAL TLVS CHEM *CCAC, 1993, GUID CAR US EXP AN *HSDB, 1998, HSDB *IARC, 1995, IARC MON EV CARC RIS, V62, P217 *US EPA, 1998, CHEM HAZ DAT AV STUD *USP, 1995, US PHARM, V23 BENINI L, 1995, GUT, V36, P825 BURCHELL B, 1981, METHOD ENZYMOL, V77, P169 BURKE MD, 1985, BIOCHEM PHARMACOL, V34, P3337 CHIVERTON SG, 1989, ALIMENT PHARM THERAP, V3, P403 CHU I, 1992, ORGANOHALOGEN COMPOU, V10, P17 DODGE L, 1994, NTIDDE94006949 GARGAS ML, 1989, TOXICOL APPL PHARM, V98, P87 GRADY S, 1986, J ANAL TOXICOL, V10, P1 HABIG WH, 1974, J BIOL CHEM, V249, P7130 JONES AW, 1993, CLIN CHEM, V39, P1837 KAO CH, 1998, J NUCL MED, V39, P1798 KONTUREK JW, 1993, SCAND J GASTROENTERO, V28, P401 LUBET RA, 1985, MUTAT RES, V142, P127 MAHE S, 1995, GASTROEN CLIN BIOL, V19, P20 MARICQ MM, 1998, 216 AM CHEM SOC NAT, V43, P578 MCLAUCHLAN G, 1989, GUT, V30, P573 MCMARTIN KE, 1980, AM J MED, V68, P414 POON R, 1992, P 4 ANN M INT SOC ST, P146 POON R, 1994, J BIOCHEM TOXICOL, V9, P297 POON R, 1995, INHAL TOXICOL, V7, P1195 ROGERS JM, 1993, TERATOLOGY, V47, P175 SAKANASHI TM, 1996, TERATOLOGY, V54, P198 SCHENKMAN JB, 1967, MOL PHARMACOL, V3, P113 TOMILINA LA, 1984, GIG TR PROF ZABOL, V6, P27 VANHERCK H, 1991, LAB ANIM, V25, P325 VINET B, 1987, CLIN CHEM, V33, P2204 YAGI K, 1982, LIPID PEROXIDE BIOL, P232; NR: 33; TC: 4; J9: INT J TOXICOL; PG: 7; GA: 331DTSource type: Electronic(1
