Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic industrial chemicals, complete carcinogens, and efficacious tumor promoters. However, the mechanism(s) of PCB-mediated carcinogenicity remains largely undefined. One likely pathway by which these agents may play a role in carcinogenesis is the generation of oxidative

Nitropyrenes are widespread in the environment due to mainly diesel engine emissions. Dinitropyrenes (DNPs), especially 1,8-dinitropyrene (1,8-DNP) and 1,6-dinitropyrene (1,6-DNP), are much more potent mutagens than other nitropyrenes. The carcinogenicity of 1,8-DNP and 1,6-DNP is stronger than 1,3-dinitropyrene (1,3-DNP). It
