Evaluation of genotoxic potentials in diesel exhaust particulate matter with the Ames test, the comet assay and the micronucleus assay

  • Published : 2003.04.01

Abstract

This research was designed to examine the presence of mutagenic/carcinogenic compounds in airborne pollutants in diesel particulate matter using an integrated biological approach. Respirable air borne particulate matter (PM2.5: <2.5mm) was collected from diesel engine exhaust using a high-volume sampler equipped with a cascade impactor. (omitted)
