Evidence of TCDD-like activities in crude and fractionated extracts of PM 2.5 diesel particle material using EROD-microbioassay

  • Published : 2003.04.01

Abstract

Diesel motors exhaust particulate material. which is known to be mutagenic, has caused heavy air pollution. PM 2.5 diesel exhaust of vehicle was collected using a high-volume sample equipped with a cascade impact. The crude extract was fractionated according to EPA recommended procedure into seven fractions by acid-base partitioning and silica gel column chromatography. (omitted)
