Male Wistar rats were continuously exposed to NO 2 (14.4 ppm), SO 2 (46.5 ppm) and to a mixture of both gases and their effect on lung microsomal aryl hydrocarbon (benzo(a)pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH) activity was determined. The pre-exposed animals were administered methylcholanthrene (MC) to investig
