## Abstract 3‐Nitrobenzanthrone (3‐NBA) is a potent mutagen and potential human carcinogen identified in diesel exhaust and ambient air particulate matter. Previously, we detected the formation of 3‐NBA‐derived DNA adducts in rodent tissues by ^32^P‐postlabeling, all of which are derived from reduc
