Preliminary comparisons between mutagenicity and magnetic susceptibility of respirable airborne particulate
Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility of respirable urban airborne particulate and the mutagenic potency and organic content of extracts prepared from these particles are both related to mobile and stationary combustion processes. Analyses of the organic extracts prepared from these particulate samples showed the presence of certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), certain keto-PAH and thia-PAH. The enhanced magnetic signatures of air particulate …
