General description

The oxidative damage and bioaccumulation of juvenile scallops Chlamys farreri exposed to benzo[b]fluoranthene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, was studied.

Benz[e]acephenanthrylene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon composed of a central 5-membered ring surrounded by four benzene rings.
