alpha,beta-Unsaturated ketones are bifunctional compounds which form promutagenic 1,N(2)-propanodeoxyguanosine adducts like carcinogenic alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and are mutagenic and genotoxic like these aldehydes. They are important industrial chemicals, are found in our environment and are widespread in our food. We investigated
