Adams, et al 1985, DiToro et al 1991
The PAHs most available to equilibrate are those that are freely dissolved, since these are capable of transferring from one
phase to another and passing through biological membranes.” (Wang and Fisher, 1999)
It is generally believed that the process of uptake of these neutral hydrophobic compounds is PASSIVE and controlled
DIFFUSION pressures (fugacity) because of the differential between the environment matrix and tissue concentrations.
UPTAKE from water is generally accomplished by ventilation over the gill structure, although diffusion through the
integument may also contribute to tissue concentrations (Landrum and Stubblefield, 1991, Douben 2003)
“For PAHs with log Kow ≤ 5.5 the main route of uptake is through ventilated water”, …those >5.5 ingestion of food or
sediment increases in importance although not well understood…( Landrum 1989, Landrum and Robbins, 1990, Meador et al
1995, Douben 2003).

11. Sources of PAHs in the
Environment
Biogenic (minor)
Petrogenic
Generated by geological processes
NATURAL- seeps, coal outcrops
ANTHROPOGENIC –fossil fuel
release
Pyrogenic
Generated by high temperature
combustion of organic matter
NATURAL –forest fires
ANTHROPOGENIC- wood
stoves, car exhaust, coal tar

12. Oil Spills Context and
Comparisons
It doesn‟t take much seep oil to deliver a lot of
PAHs
1 kilogram of oil contains as
much PAH as a metric ton of
coal
Crude oil PAHs vary by crude
oil type, 0.2 to 7% PAHs
DW Horizon spill PAH*
5,000– 7,000 m Ton
World Trade Towers PAH
100 – 1,000 m Ton

Currently side-by-side in progress (n=75 crayfish : PSD) at our laboratory
PSDs as biological surrogates may provide a reasonable

Another data set contributing to protection of human health
Does not appear to significantly overestimate risk
Quickly assess environmental disasters before resident organisms

35. Community Outreach and Engagement
Strategies
Goal: Provide pertinent PAH health information to be delivered using novel methods via the
web.
Develop and deliver educational materials
at gulf sampling locations (e.g. printed
brochure)
Develop local partnerships to identify
educational needs
NIEHS SRP at Louisiana State University
State and local organizations, including nongovernmental organizations located in Gulf states
Develop novel outreach methods for
public education
Please see web sites and videos

Editor's Notes
The presence of toxic chemicals in the environment is not necessarily indicative of a risk to human and environmental health; the chemicals must be bioavailable in order for there to be an exposure, which is a necessary precursor to a toxic outcome. The bioavailable fraction of a chemical is the portion of the total bulk concentration that is capable of being taken up by organisms and is sometimes referred to as the external dose (1). Bioavailability is therefore a more biologically relevant measure of contamination and potential exposure than total concentration.
comparisons of PAH concentrations in PSDs and fish tissue from the Portland Harbor Superfund site demonstrate that using PSD concentrations in a public health assessment would provide a reasonable and conservative estimate of exposure that would be protective of human health without significantly overestimating risk. Table 3.1 presents fish tissue data from the Lower Willamette Group (21), some of which was used in the Portland Harbor Public Health Assessment (16) as well as PSD data from this study. The fish and shellfish were collected from Portland Harbor during a period that overlapped with the PSD study; however these two studies are unrelated to one another. Furthermore, it is important to highlight that PAHs were not included in the Portland Harbor Public Health assessment because of insufficient data (16); therefore, the data presented in Table 3.1 is based on a limited sample set. The side-by-side comparison demonstrates that PSDs from this study captured the magnitude, range and variability of PAH concentrations that have been reported in a variety of fish and shellfish tissues from the harbor and provide an estimate of exposure that is realistic and protective.
