## Background: We investigated if blood cu++/zn++ superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities are increased and total plasma antioxidant concentration is decreased in coke oven workers exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. ## Methods: Ninety-six coke oven workers
## Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are ubiquitous occupational and environmental pollutants and the urinary excretion of 1βhydroxypyrene (1βOHP) is classically measured for the determination of PAH exposure internal dose. Some of PAH are tumorigenic due to their metabolites ability
Markers of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (urinary I -hydroxypyrene-glucuronide) and aromatic arnines (4-aminobiphenyl-hemoglobin adducts), as well as urinary mutagenicity, were measured in 47 healthy smokers and 50 nonsmokers. DNA adducts were determined by P32-postlabeling in the exf
