Another studyquantified DNA adducts and other genetic abnormalities in local residents after the accident.

Once in the body, PAHs can bind to genetic material (DNA) and form something with the ungainly name of PAH-DNA adducts.

These adducts jumpstart a series of cell changes that can short circuit cell signals, interfere with DNA repair within cells, and ultimately lead to DNA mutations.

One study, from the Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project, discovered that women with the highest levels of PAH-DAN adducts had a 50 percent increased risk of breast cancer.

Several studies have connected high levels of PAH-DNA adducts and breast cancer.

Another compared breast tissue from women who had breast cancer with women who had benign breast diseases and found that the cancerous samples were two times as likely to have PAH-DNA adducts.

Generally, there will be tobacco-specific nitrosamines adducts in the DNA and mutations in genes that we have shown in multiple model systems to be capable of causing cancer...

This exposure was recorded by monitoring the levels of PAHs in air during the mothers 'pregnancies and in measuring a marker of PAH exposure in cord blood -- specifically the levels of PAHs bound to DNA, known as "PAH-DNA adducts".

Beer diminished by some 40 to 75 percent the number of HCA adducts (abnormal DNA structure) that formed, depending on the type of tissue (studied after dissecting the mouse) and quantity of beer ingredients ingested, the researchers report in the Feb. 9 Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
