Abstract

Previous studies on mutagenic activity of outdoor and indoor airborne particles predominantly have been conducted with in vitro tests like the Salmonella microsome assay. Extracts of outdoor airborne particles as well as of indoor airborne particles from different pollution sources such as wood combustion, food processing and smoking, were shown to be mutagenic (Van Houdt et al, 1984; 1986).
