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 3βnitrobenzanthrone (3βNBA) is an extremely potent mutagen in the Salmonella reversion assay and a suspected human carcinogen identified in diesel exhaust and in ambient airborne particulate matter. To evaluate the in vivo mutagenicity of 3βNBA, we analyzed the mutant frequency (MF) in
## Abstract 3βNitrobenzanthrone (3βNBA) is an environmental pollutant and suspected human carcinogen found in emissions from diesel and gasoline engines and on the surface of ambient air particulate matter; human exposure to 3βNBA is likely to occur primarily via the respiratory tract. In our study
