Abstract:

Ambient air contains a large number of chemical substances including mutagens and carcinogenssuch as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), derivatives of PAHs and others. Exposure to airborne particulate pollutants represents an increased risk to human, so it seemed important to investigate genotoxicactivity of airborne material, especially in heavily industrialized and urban areas. Short-term biologicaltests such as the Ames test, sister chromatid exchange assay, micronucleus assay, cell transformationassay, chromosomal aberratrion test were used for estimating genotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenicpotential of air pollutants.
