Abstract: | Benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide adducts with hemoglobin (Hb) weremeasured to detect human exposure to environmental benzo[a]pyrenefrom traffic exhaust. Benzo[a]pyrene tetrahydrotetrols (BPTs)released from Hb after acid hydrolysis were quantitated by gaschromatography-mass spectrometry after immunoaffinity chromatography.Fifty three newspaper vendors were enrolled. The median adductconcentration was 0.3 fmol BPTs/mg Hb in high density traffic-exposedvendors and |
