Eight pregnant rats were exposed, on the 17th day of gestation, for 95 min to a microcondensation aerosol of benzo[a]pyrene at five different atmospheric concentrations between 200 and 800 mg m-3 in a 'head-only' inhalation chamber. Five rats were killed immediately following the exposure and three

## Abstract Individual metabolites of benzo (a)pyrene were isolated from rat liver microsomal incubation of the parent hydrocarbon, and subsequently bound to DNA in separate incubations with microsomes. Of the metabolites examined, by far the greatest binding resulted with 7,8‐dihydro‐7,8‐dihydroxy
3-hydroxy-benzo(a)pyrene (3-OH-B(a)P) and mutagenic activity in rat urine were determined after the oral administration of benzo(a)pyrene given in three repeated doses of 10, 20 and 50 pmol kg-'. The procedure for the determination of 3-OH-B(a)P consisted of enzymic hydrolysis, separation and HPLC-a
role in the expression of a transformed phenotype and that metabolism and transformation are not directly related. Furthermore, confluent dense cultures with a heightened capability for metabolism of benzo[a~yrene were more active in the detoxification of benzo[a~oyrene than in the production of the
