“…Biodiesels are generally less toxic than fossil fuels (Poon et al 2007;Poon et al 2009), but potential human health hazards arising from their increasing use also need to be properly assessed, especially for biodiesels manufactured from nonedible or toxic feedstock (Poon et al 2013).…”

“…There are numerous studies investigating the effects of inhaled diesel and biodiesel fuels. However, there are very few studies on the fuels taken orally, directly [3,4] or indirectly through the food chain [5]. As a result of paucity of information, the present investigation was embarked upon to study the effect of biodiesel smokes on cellular system of albino rats.…”

Aim: This study investigates toxicological effect of biodiesel smokes on cellular system of albino rats. Study Design: Biodiesel was blended with fuel diesel at 100, 75, 50, and 25% v/v. Rats were exposed to each flame for 120 seconds daily over a period of ten days. Place and Duration of Study: Laboratory work was carried out in the Methodology: Rats were grouped into six each containing six rats designated; Control group (no exposure), FD (exposed to smoke of fuel diesel), 100BD, 75BD, 50BD and 25BD exposed to 100, 75, 50 and 25% blend of biodiesel respectively. Afterwards, rats were sacrificed, liver, lungs and brain was isolated and homogenized. Serum was also separated. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), choline esterase (CEST) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were assayed for in the selected tissues. Results: ALP activity of liver of rats in Control group was significantly higher (p<.05) relative to rats in other treatment groups. Lungs ACP activity of rats in Control groups was 3 folds that of rats in FD group, 2 folds those of rats in 100BD, 75BD and 25BD groups. CEST activity in brain of rats in AJRB, 6(2): 22-29, 2020; Article no.AJRB.55848 23 Control group was 3 folds that of FD group and two folds that of 50BD and 25BD group of rats. Conversely, serum CEST activity of rats in Control group was significantly lower (p<.05) relative to that of other treatment groups it is about 16% that of FD group in particular. Serum MDA level of Control rats was significantly lower (p<.05) relative to each of the other treatment groups. Conclusion: Biochemical evidence from this study indicated loss of membrane integrity, possible inflammation of cells of the brain, lungs, and liver. Original Research Article

“…This energy source consists of fatty acids esters, alkyl esters (methyl, ethyl or propyl) and long chain carboxylic acids (Teixeira & Touil, 2010), and is a biodegradable fuel commonly obtained by transesterification, a chemical reaction between lipids (vegetable oils or short chain fats) and acidic or basic alcohols. Biofuel is considered a less polluting fuel than petroleum, as it releases less toxic gases, potentially contributing to global warming control (Poon et al, 2007;Santos, 2008).…”

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different soluble biodiesel fraction (SBF) concentrations from burnt soy oil on the embryonic development of curimba (Prochilodus lineatus). The embryos were obtained from semi-natural spawning, collected and transferred to an experimental nursery, in duplicate, under constant aeration, containing different SBF concentrations: treatment I (control), treatment II (0.0645 g.L-1), treatment III (0.129 g.L-1), treatment IV (0.645 g.L-1), treatment V (1.29 g.L-1) and treatment VI (6.45 g.L-1). Mean water quality variables were temperature 23.0 ± 0.1°C, dissolved oxygen 4.58 ± 0.34 mg/L and pH 7.3 ± 0.1. Fish fertilization rates ranged from 50.88 to 81.61%, undergoing alterations beginning at treatment IV (p<0.05). From the tenth hour post-fertilization, delays in embryonic development were observed in relation to the control treatment. Hatching rates ranged from 7.56 to 46.26%, with all groups statistically differing from group I (controls). It is concluded that the different soluble biodiesel fractions interfere in curimba (Prochilodus lineatus) embryonic development.
