Indoor-Outdoor Concentrations and Correlations of PM10-Associated Mutagenic Activity in Nonsmokers' and Asthmatics' Homes

A study examined the indoor-outdoor relations of mutagenic compounds associated with airborne particles less than 10-mu m aerodynamic diameter in the homes of ten nonsmokers--nine of whom are asthamatic--located in southern California. The results support the hypothesis that mutagen composition of t...

Description
Summary:A study examined the indoor-outdoor relations of mutagenic compounds associated with airborne particles less than 10-mu m aerodynamic diameter in the homes of ten nonsmokers--nine of whom are asthamatic--located in southern California. The results support the hypothesis that mutagen composition of the indoor and outdoor particles are similar.
