Toxicological Effects Of Landfarmed Oil Refinery Wastes On Cotton Rat (Sigmodon Hispidus) Liver
Abstract
This research project was designed to increase understanding of terrestrial toxicant bioavailability and hepatic effects of chronic exposure to landfarmed petroleum wastes, and to determine the suitability of cotton rats as bioindicator organisms. I wish to express my appreciation to my major advisor, Dr. David Janz for his guidance, friendship and time. I wish to thank Dr. Karen McBee for her advice, encouragement and editorial comments and Dr. Roman Lanno for his insight. I would also like to thank Dr. Weber for her friendship and advice.
