Human cell mutagenicity of oxygenated, nitrated and unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons associated with urban aerosols.
TL;DR: Based on reported concentrations of PAC in ambient aerosols, it is possible that CPP, DB[ae]P,DB[al]P and BPK could account for a greater proportion of the mutagenicity than B[a]P in some aerosols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Associated with Size-Segregated Atmospheric Aerosols in Massachusetts
Jonathan O. Allen,Nameeta M. Dookeran,Kenneth A. Smith,Adel F. Sarofim,Koli Taghizadeh,Arthur L. Lafleur +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with molecular weights between 178 and 302 were collected from urban and rural locations in Massachusetts using a micro-orifice impactor.

Measurement of Oxygenated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Associated with a Size-Segregated Urban Aerosol
Jonathan Allen,Nameeta M. Dookeran,Koli Taghizadeh,Arthur L. Lafleur,Kenneth A. Smith,Adel F. Sarofim +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, size-segregated atmospheric particles were collected in Boston, MA, using a micro-orifice impactor, and the samples were analyzed for oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAH) using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioassay-directed chemical analysis of Los Angeles airborne particulate matter using a human cell mutagenicity assay
Michael P. Hannigan,Glen R. Cass,Bruce W. Penman,Charles L. Crespi,Arthur L. Lafleur,William F. Busby,William G. Thilly,Bernd R.T. Simoneit +7 more
TL;DR: The human cell mutagenicity of Los Angeles airborne fine particulate matter is examined via bioassay-directed chemical analysis and important semipolar mutagens that are quantified include 2-nitrofluoranthene and 6H-benzo[cd]pyren-6-one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human lymphoblast mutagens in urban airborne particles
John L. Durant,Arthur L. Lafleur,Elaine F. Plummer,Koli Taghizadeh,William F. Busby,William G. Thilly +5 more
TL;DR: The analysis of an organic extract of a Washington, DC, airborne particle sample (SRM 1649) for human cell mutagens is described and results indicate that ∼20% of the total mutagenicity the extract was accounted for in two fourth-order fractions that contained ∼3% ofThe total extract mass.
