Contents of Presentation, Result and Discussion:
Prof. R.Babu Rajendran and Prof. AN. Subramanian were participated in the “19th International
Symposium on Pollutant Responses in Marine Organisms” (PRIMO19). Dr.R.Babu Rajendranpresented two oral presentations “Detection of metal induced cytopathological alteration and DNA
damage in Perna Viridis from ennore estuary, Chennai” and “Distribution of synthetic musk andBenzotriazole Ultra Violet Stabilizers in organisms from Indian coastal waters” in two sessions (Metaltoxicology II and Environmental Issues in Developing Countries II, respectively). The presentations

dealt the heavy metals contamination on Perna Viridis from Ennore and Kovalam areas in India and how
the heavy metals damaged gills, DNA and hepatopancreas cells. Regarding emerging pollutants i.e.
Synthetic musk and Benzotriazole UV Stabilizers in marine organisms from coastal sites in India. This was
the first study reports Galaxolide, Tonalide and Musk Ketone and Benzotriazole UV Stabilizers (UV-9, P,326, 327, 328 and 329). The synthetic musks and BUVSs were ranged from 2 - 486 ng/g (wet wt.) and 1 47 ng/g (wet wt.), respectively. Prof. AN. Subramanian chaired the session and raised more questions on
the fate and sources of synthetic musks and BUVSs at species level.
Prof. AN. Subramanian has presented on “PCDD/Fs, DL – PCBs and PBDEs in the dumpsite soils of
Tiruchirappalli town, south India” in the poster session on Environmental Issues in Developing
Countries (Table.3).

They have quantified the concentration of PCDD/Fs, PCBs and PBDEs inAriyamangalam municipal dumping sites from Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu, India. PCDD/Fs, PCBs andPBDEs, PBDEs were ranged from 2500-440000 pg/g. Both of them chaired the sessions where they madepresentations. Participants were more interactive and raised number of questions.
