## Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are abundant pollutants, and many PAHs are carcinogenic, but only after metabolic activation. Benzo[__a__]pyrene (B __a__P) is among the most carcinogenic PAHs. The dose and time response of two enzymes involved in B __a__P metabolism and the amou
## Abstract The extent of reaction of benzo(__a__)pyrene with DNA and the formation of benzo(__a__)pyreneβdeoxyribonucleoside adducts in the skins of male Wistar rats were investigated. Following topical application of benzo(__a__)pyrene (200 nmoles), binding reached a maximum of 0,74 pmoles/mg DNA
Formation of DNA adducts and of water-soluble metabolites was studied in monocytes of 86 first-degree relatives of I 5 families. Tests were performed with blood monocytes using (G-3H)-benzo[a]pyrene as a model pro-carcinogen. Variance analysis revealed significantly higher inter-familial than intra-
