Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to use DNA adducts levels, detected by 32P-postlabelling, as a biomarker to assess human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from a coke oven plant and explore the possible association between CYP1A1 MspI, GSTP1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes, and smoking status on bulky DNA adduct formation. A large amount of inter-individual variation in adduct level was observed among...
