P Sartorelli et al.
Toxicology and industrial health, 17(1), 17-21 (2002-05-15)
To understand the dermal uptake of chemicals bound to soil and dust, information on the neat substance is helpful but does not seem sufficient. Because of its content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) coal is suspected to be carcinogenic. However
Heinz Frank et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 24(12), 2258-2268 (2011-11-18)
The synthesis of the 8 possible stereoisomeric diol epoxides (DEs) at the terminal benzo ring of carcinogenic dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DBA) is reported. trans-3,4-Dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-DBA (1) afforded the 4 bay region DEs: the enantiomeric pairs of the anti diastereomers (+)-3/(-)-3 and of the

Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association, 43(7), 1103-1116 (2005-04-19)
Evidence suggests that people living in urban areas have an increased risk of lung cancer due to higher levels of air pollution in these areas. Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is currently used as the main indicator of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
S Nesnow et al.
Carcinogenesis, 15(10), 2225-2231 (1994-10-01)
The major routes of metabolic activation of dibenz[a,h]-anthracene (DBA) have been studied in transformable C3H10T1/2CL8 (C3H10T1/2) mouse embryo fibroblasts in culture. The morphological transforming activities of three potential intermediates formed by metabolism of DBA by C3H10T1/2 cells, trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-DBA-(DBA-3,4-diol), trans-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-DBA-anti-1,2-oxide (DBA-3,4-diol-1,2-oxide)
Zhi-Xin Yuan et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 16(12), 1581-1588 (2003-12-19)
Benzo[b]phenanthro[2,3-d]thiophene (BPT), a thia analogue of dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DBA), is a carcinogenic environmental pollutant. We have examined the metabolism of BPT by rodent liver microsomes to investigate the mechanism by which BPT produces mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Both rat and mouse
