| Abstract | After pregnant mummichog were implanted with 1-nitronaphthalene or 1-nitropyrene via cholesterol pellet, we investigated the effects of the chemicals on embryo normality, hatchability and days to hatch of normal embryos, and growth and survival of hatched larvae from normal embryos of the implanted mummichog. Hatchability was the parameter most sensitive to the effects of both 1-nitronaphthalene and 1-nitropyrene. The 4-week lowest-observed-effect concentration (LOEC) of 1-nitronaphthalene, based on the actual concentrations in the eggs in the test, was 447 ng g(-1) wet wt.; and the LOEC and no-observed-effect concentration (NOEC) of 1-nitropyrene were 958 and 344 ng g(-1) wet wt., respectively. The 4-week LOEC of 1-nitronaphthalene, based on the concentration in the water, was estimated at 4.8 µg L(-1) by using the reported bioconcentration factor; and the LOEC and NOEC of 1-nitropyrene, based on the concentration in the water, were estimated at 3.1 and 8.6 µg L(-1), respectively. The reported environmental concentrations of 1-nitropyrene and 1-nitronaphthalene are over three magnitudes lower than the toxicity values we obtained. Therefore, the effects of environmental levels of 1-nitropyrene and 1-nitronaphthalene on fish reproduction, not including genomic effects on embryos, appear to be almost negligible. However, DNA damage has been detected in marine organisms exposed to 1-nitropyrene. Further studies of the genotoxicity of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at environmental levels are therefore needed to evaluate their ecotoxicological risks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
