Clustered DNA damages-two or more closely spaced damages (strand breaks, abasic sites, or oxidized bases) on opposing strands-are suspects as critical lesions producing lethal and mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation. However, as a result of the lack of methods for measuring damage clusters induced by ionizing radiation in genomic DNA, neither the frequencies of their production by physiolog...

The paper develops estimates of air pollution damages for each industry in the United States. The first section proposes a framework for national economic accounting that values pollution using marginal damages. An integrated-assessment model (the Air Pollution Emission Experiments ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of mutagenic environmental contaminants, insert toxicity through both metabolic activation and light irradiation. Pyrene, one of the most widely studied PAHs, along with its mono-substituted derivatives, 1-amino, 1-bromo, 1-hydroxy, and 1-nitropyrene, were chosen to study the effect of substituents on their phototoxicity, DNA damage and repair. B...
