pubmed:abstractText |
Asphalt is used extensively in the highway construction industry and contains a complex mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, some of which are known or suspected to be human carcinogens. Though numerous epidemiologic studies have described an excess cancer risk among asphalt workers, a causal relationship has not been established. Accordingly, the primary objective of this study was to use DNA adducts as a biomarker of biologically effective dose and determine whether DNA damage resulted from occupational exposure to asphalt among paving workers.
