Abstract excerpt
Benzotrichloride (BTC) is used extensively as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of benzoyl chloride and benzoyl peroxide. Epidemiological data suggest that BTC is a human lung carcinogen. BTC is also a carcinogen in the A/J mouse lung tumor bioassay. Activated K-ras protooncogenes were detected in BTC-induced lung tumors from A/J mice. The polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify specific DNA segments...
