Excessive exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) often results in lung cancer,
a disease with the highest cancer mortality in the United States. After entry into the lung …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are often detected in the environment and are
regarded as endocrine disruptors. We here designated mixtures of PAHs in the environment …

Background: Several epidemiologic and molecular epidemiologic studies have indicated
that, for a given number of cigarettes smoked, women may be at higher risk of lung cancer …

Tobacco smoke contains a variety of genotoxic carcinogens that form adducts with DNA and
protein in the tissues of smokers. Not only are these biochemical events relevant to the …

It is controversial whether women have a higher lung cancer susceptibility compared to men.
We previously reported higher levels of smoking‐related bulky DNA adducts in female …

Several of the hormone-mediated cancers (breast, endometrial, ovarian, and prostate)
represent major cancers in both incidence and mortality rates. The etiology of these cancers …

Nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are found in diesel exhaust and air
pollution particles. Along with other PAHs, many nitro-PAHs possess mutagenic and …

Epidemiological evidence suggests a relationship between chronic inflammation and lung
cancer. Inflammation in the lung may be modulated by host genetic factors such as …

Informal e-waste recycling activities results in serious environmental pollution of PAHs. We
evaluated the body burden of 16 PAH congeners and potential health risks for children. A …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are ubiquitous environmental pollutants classified as
carcinogens in humans and rodents. The cytochromes P4501A1 and 1B1 have both shown …
