✦ Synopsis


Roundup is a postemergence herbicide acting on 1.7 { 0.1 (SE) adducts/10 8 nucleotides, respecthe synthesis of amino acids and other important tively. The Roundup DNA adducts were not related endogenous chemicals in plants. Roundup is com-to the active ingredient, the isopropylammonium monly used in agriculture, forestry, and nurseries salt of glyphosate, but to another, unknown compofor the control or destruction of most herbaceous nent of the herbicide mixture. Additional experiplants. The present study shows that Roundup is ments are needed to identify the chemical specie(s) able to induce a dose-dependent formation of DNA of Roundup mixture involved in DNA adduct formaadducts in the kidneys and liver of mice. The levels tion. Findings of this study may help to protect agof Roundup-related DNA adducts observed in ricultural workers from health hazards and provide mouse kidneys and liver at the highest dose of herbi-a basis for risk assessment. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. cide tested (600 mg/kg) were 3.0

## Abstract There is significant human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), many of which are potent carcinogens in laboratory animals and are suspected human carcinogens. The PAHs are bioactivated by cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1/1B1 enzymes to reactive intermediates that bind to DNA, a
