86 METHODS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF REACTIVE COMPOUNDS<br />

Figure 6.7 TLC chromatograms <strong>of</strong> DNA adducts in gills and livers <strong>of</strong> rainbow<br />

trouts, exposed for 3 months to waste water or control water. Top: control water,<br />

liver DNA (left chromatogram), gill DNA (right chromatogram); bottom: waste<br />

water, liver DNA (left chromatogram), gill DNA (right chromatogram).<br />

Conclusions<br />

Each method, although inherently chemically-specific, has its advantages<br />

and limitations depending on the adduct-type. The continued rapid<br />

development <strong>of</strong> the technologies described for assessing biomarkers should<br />

result in more accurate assessment <strong>of</strong> the intracellular reactions <strong>of</strong><br />

chemicals and thereby provide information about the mechanism <strong>of</strong><br />

toxicity <strong>of</strong> a compound under investigation.
