Applications of the comet assay in particle toxicology: air pollution and engineered nanomaterials exposure.

abstract：:The genotoxic effects of benzene in lung cells of mice exposed to single acute doses by inhalation have been estimated by cytogenetic analysis of micronuclei in primary cultures of lung fibroblasts. Mice were nose-only exposed to 1000 p.p.m. for 30 or 60 min or to 3500 p.p.m. for 30 min and sacrificed 24 h after the e...
