“…Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are commonly found on the surface of coal fly ash (1) and include both potential genotoxics (2) and substances that can be transformed to genotoxics by reaction in the atmosphere (3). The lifetime of PACs on fly ash surfaces has been estimated to range from minutes to days (4)(5)(6)(7). Various chemical and physical processes have been proposed to account for the losses.…”

“…The carcinogenic potential of atmospheric particulate polycyclic organic matter may conceivably be modified as a result of photochemical decomposition or reactions with atmospheric oxidants. While the view occasionally has been advanced that PAHs are chemically inert and thus are removed from the atmosphere only by rainfall or slow sedimentation of particulate matter (11), the more common presumption has been that atmospheric PAHs can undergo relatively facile photodecomposition (4). The high photosensitivity of many aromatic hydrocarbons in liquid solution is well known (12).…”

“…Clearly, not only does exposure of a sample of BaP to ambient smog cause it to become directly mutagenic, but contrary to some reports (Berry & Lehman 1971;Fishbein 1976), a variety of compounds are readily formed. Those tentatively identified by t.l.c.…”
