    Abstract : Air pollution with particulate matter (PM) raises considerable concern because of its adverse effects on human health. For this reason, and because the mechanisms of PM toxicity are not fully known, there is an urgent need to determine the chemical constituents of atmospheric PM, especially PM emanating from traffic - a major source of urban PM.

  4. 2. Binding of benzo(a)pyrene metabolites and derivatives to DNA : characterization using optical spectroscopy techniques

    Author : Ola Undeman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : DNA with covalently bound benzo(a)pyrene (BP) derivatives was studied with fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence decay measurements, fluorescence quenching measurements, light absorption and linear dichroism of flow oriented samples. The modified DNA was prepared in three different ways: (1) by incubating calf thymus DNA with rat liver micromomes, necessary cofactors and benzo(a)pyrene or derivatives of benzo(a)pyrene, (2) by isolating DNA.

  7. 5. Characterization of toxicological effects of a novel in vivo benzo[a]pyrene metabolite in colonic cells

    Author : Mirjam Nordling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; benzo[a]pyrene; colon cancer; genotoxicity; oxidative DNA damage.;

    Abstract : Cancer of the colon and rectum is the third most common cancer form in the world. Where the majority of cases fall into the category of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC), lifestyle and diet have been found to be important risk factors associated with CRC. READ MORE
