Does the Natural Carcinogen Ptaquiloside Degrade Readily in Groundwater?

2020-12-31

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Ptaquiloside (PTA) is a natural carcinogen found in bracken ferns. PTA is released from the plants via soil to surface and groundwaters from where humans can be exposed via drinking water. Primary degradation of PTA is due to hydrolysis with formation of pterosin B (PTB). Temperature and pH determine the rate of hydrolysis under pure experimental conditions. To assess the ap...
