| Process modifiers include fluids to encapsulate or coat dry particles for improved flow, hydrophobicity and anticaking properties. Areas such as those affected by coastal or industrial contamination, together with agricultural areas benefit from the unique surface ability of silicone-housed insulators to retain and recover their hydrophobicity. The simplest interpretation is that chrysene accumulates in or binds to epidermal cells, possibly due to its higher hydrophobicity, whereas pyrene and the tricyclic PAHs do not, and that epidermal cells do not express AhR1. |
