Abstract

In order to clarify the contribution of nitrated products to the direct-mutagenic activity of products of the reactions of benzo [a] pyrene in NO2–air under various conditions, heterogeneous reactions of BaP deposited on filter in the air containing 10 ppm of NO2 have been conducted in dark or under photoirradiation. The reaction products have been analyzed by gas chromatography and mutagenicity of the products fractionated by ...
