Diesel exhaust is known to induce tumors in animals and is suspected of being carcinogenic in humans. Of the compounds found in diesel exhaust and in airborne particulate matter, 3-nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA), is a particularly powerful mutagen. We investigated the capacity of 3-NBA to form DNA adduct
## Abstract 3‐Nitrobenzanthrone (3‐NBA) is a potent mutagen and suspected human carcinogen identified in diesel exhaust and ambient air pollution. 3‐Aminobenzanthrone (3‐ABA), 3‐acetylaminobenzanthrone (3‐Ac‐ABA) and __N__‐acetyl‐__N__‐hydroxy‐3‐aminobenzanthrone (__N__‐Ac‐__N__‐OH‐ABA) have been i
