The Ah Receptor: Comparative Biochemistry and Possible Role as a Biomarker of Susceptibility to PHAH

In: Endocrine Disruptors in the Marine Environment: Impacts on Marine Wildlife and Human Health. Proceedings of the Atlantic Coast Contaminants Workshop, pp. 120-126, 2000 WHOI-R-00-012
Halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants of the global environment. Some HAHs, especially the so-called planar HAH (PHAH), are highly toxic to many vertebrate species. In this paper, the authors present and discuss the hypothesis that the sensitivity of marine mammals to PHAH can be predicted from an understanding of the comparative biochemistry of proteins involved in the molecular mechanisms of PHAH action.

The presence of toxic chemicals in the marine environment has long been recognized as a potential threat to human health and to the health of the oceans. This paper presents the problem, challenges and research needs, as well as examples and approaches that will be essential to meeting the three objectives of research in marine toxicology: to understand, monitor, and predict the effects of contaminants.

The basic assumption in biological oceanography -- and in GLOBEC -- is that physical forcing at a wide range of space and time scales determines most of the dynamics of marine populations. This has been very productive and provides the global context for GLOBEC and other programmes. How far can it take us in the future; and, alternatively, what role is played by community interactions?
