【論文公開】インク由来成分から魚類へ毒性を発揮する新規汚染物質を発見
We've published a research paper in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, revealing the discovery of benzyl 2-naphthyl ether as a substance that causes deformities and activates the AhR (dioxin receptor) in fish, originating from ink components in paper recycling effluent. This journal is published by The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), the world's largest international society for environmental toxicology and chemistry.
