Abstract
Crotonaldehyde and acetaldehyde are mutagenic in S. typhimurium and other systems used for detection of genetic damage (IARC, 1985; 1995; 1999). Crotonaldehyde induces altered liver cell foci, neoplastic nodules, and hepatocellular carcinoma upon oral administration to F344 rats (Chung et al, 1986; IARC, 1995). Acetaldehyde causes tumors of the respiratory tract in rats and hamsters upon exposure by inhalation (IARC, 1985; 1999). Crotonaldehyde and acetaldehyde are commonly detected in cigarette smoke, mobile source emissions and other products of thermal degradation (IARC, 1985; 1995; 1999). Their concentrations in cigarette smoke are far higher, while their carcinogenic activities are considerably lower, than those of polycyclic hydrocarbons, aromatic amines and N-nitrosamines, which are considered to be important carcinogens in cigarette smoke (IARC, 1985; 1986; 1995; 1999). Crotonaldehyde and acetaldehyde are also important endogenous compounds. Crotonaldehyde is a product of lipid peroxidation while acetaldehyde is the principal metabolite of ethanol.
