Abstract excerpt
The genotoxic risks from exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) have long been recognized. Less well understood are the potential genotoxic risks of the atmospheric reaction products of this class of compounds. In this investigation, we have utilized several human cell genotoxicity assays to evaluate naphthalene, phenanthrene, and their atmospheric reaction products 1-nitronaphthalene,...
