Germ cell mutations can be inherited and lead to genetic disorders in the offspring. Thus, it is critical to identify environmental exposures that impact the germline. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread combustion by-products found in food, tobacco smoke, and urban air. Benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF) is a PAH that is classified as a possible human carcinogen. Studies using the transgenic mouse...
