Relative Genotoxicities of PAH of Molecular Weight 252 AMU in Coal Tar-Contaminated Sediment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bioassay-directed chemical fractionation methodology was used to calculate relative mutagenic potencies of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) of molecular weight 252 amu in coal tarcontaminated sediment from Sydney Harbour, Nova Scotia. A normal phase HPLC technique was used to separate organic solvent extracts into fractions containing isomeric PAH of a single benzologue class. Bioassays with Salmonella typhimurium strain YG1025 with the addition of oxidative metabolism (S9) showed that approximately 50% of the mutagenic activity observed in the sediment extract was associated with PAH of molecular weight 252 amu. Further separation of the 252 PAH fraction using reversed phase HPLC yielded subfractions containing individual compounds; bioassay dose-response curves for these subfractions showed that benzo[a]pyrene was responsible for approximately 75% of the activity of the 252 PAH fraction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
