| Is it possible to determine the fate of toxicants and the presence and efficiencies of detoxification systems in rotifers? |
| Final concentrations of these toxicants met World Health Organization guidelines for safe drinking water, Allgood notes. |
| However, relatively little is known about toxicological interactions between these toxicants. |
| For the occupational toxicants acrylamide and 1,3-butadiene a genetic risk assessment was performed based on heritable translocation data. |
| Therefore, D. melanogaster can be a sentinel organism for long-term release of toxicants into the environment. |
| Or does a large surface area per unit mass make those particles robust vehicles for ferrying toxicants such as metal atoms deep into the lungs? |
