White blood cell DNA adducts were measured in coke workers, local controls and countryside controls using the 32P-postlabelling technique and immunoassay. The methods detected aromatic adducts, including those formed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Coke workers are heavily exposed to aromatic compounds, which are also emitted in large amounts into the environment. The two techniques detected a large difference in adduct levels between the coke workers and the countryside controls. The adduct levels in the local controls were substantially higher than those in the countryside controls. As occupational exposure did not account for such a difference, the data suggest that the source of aromatic adducts in local controls is environmental pollution.

D008669 Metallurgy The science, art, or technology dealing with processes involved in the separation of metals from their ores, the technique of making or compounding the alloys, the techniques of working or heat-treating metals, and the mining of metals. It includes industrial metallurgy as well as metallurgical techniques employed in the preparation and working of metals used in dentistry, with special reference to orthodontic and prosthodontic appliances.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
