Many individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are genotoxic carcinogens. One of
the parent PAH, pyrene, undergoes simple metabolism to 1-hydroxypyrene. 1 …

Measurement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) metabolites in human urine is the
method of choice to determine occupational and/or environmental exposure of an individual …

Our study objectives were (1) to investigate the selectivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
(PAH) metabolites for tobacco smoke exposure and (2) to determine half-lives of PAH …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants that are
generated by the incomplete combustion of organic materials. The main anthropogenic …

The quality of exposure assessment is a major determinant of the overall quality of any
environmental epidemiology study. The use of biomonitoring as a tool for assessing …

The objective of this study was to analyse environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and PAH
metabolites in urine samples of non-occupationally exposed non-smoker adult subjects and …

BACKGROUND Limited studies have suggested that male reproductive function might be
associated with exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). METHODS Five …

This article reviews the published studies on urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) as a
biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in work environments …

Most of the general populations are exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at
different levels. A limited number of studies have suggested that PAHs exposure may be …

Individual differences in the metabolic activation and detoxification of carcinogenic
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may influence cancer risk. This has been …
