## Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. Some of them, including benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), are tumorigenic due to their ability to generate DNA adducts. In order to define potential biomarkers of B[a]P exposure, the aim of the study was to identif
## Abstract The extent of reaction of benzo(__a__)pyrene with DNA and the formation of benzo(__a__)pyreneโdeoxyribonucleoside 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
## Abstract The activity of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (substrate: benzo(__a__)pyrene) was increased in the tracheas of rats exposed to cigarette smoke for 1 h daily for either 1 or 10 days. However the degree of increase in activity was lower in the trachea than in the lung. After a single expos
