概要: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins have several toxic properties, including mutagenicity, carcinogenici ty and reproductive toxicity. PAHs mainly originate from the burning of petroleum and coal, while dioxins originate mainly from waste incineration and agrochemicals. Both PAHs and dioxins have aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) binding activity which is related to toxicity of PAHs and dioxins. In this study, we evaluated AhR binding activity of airborne particles collected in Beijing, China and Kanazawa, Japan by DR-CALUX and the contribution of PAHs and dioxins to this activity. AhR binding activity of airborne particles in Beijing (1,200 ng • m-3) was four hundred times higher than in Kanazawa (2.7 ng • m-3). The composition of PAHs didn′t show large difference in Beijing and Kanazawa. The contribution of the PAHs to CALUX-TEQ was higher than dioxins and especially high in Kanazawa (10.4 %). These results suggest that PAHs show large contribution to the toxicity of airborne particles, and other kinds of PAH and PAH related compounds will also contribute to that toxicity. The difference of concentration and composition of these compounds result in the different level of toxicity of airborne particles in each city. 続きを見る

概要: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some of which are carcinogenic/mutagenic, are generated by combustion of fossil fuels and also released through tanker or oilfield accident to cause a large scale environmental pollution. PAHs concentration in China is especially high in East Asia because of many kinds of generation sources such as coal heating systems, vehicles and factories without exhaust gas/particulate treatment systems. So, the atmospheric pollution caused by PAHs in China has been seriously concerned from the view point of health effects. Like yellow sand and sulfur oxide, PAHs exhausted in China are also transported to Japan. Additionally, strongly mutagenic nitrated PAHs (NPAHs), estrogenic/antiestrogenic PAH hydroxides (PAHOHs) and reactive oxygen species-producing PAH quinones (PAHQs) are formed from PAHs by the chemical reaction during the transport. Furthermore these PAHOHs and PAHQs are produced by the metabolism in animal body. In the biological activities caused by the above PAH derivatives, the structure-activity relationship was observed. In this review, our recent results on the generation of PAH derivatives by atmospheric transport and metabolism are reported. Also, the existing condition of PAHs as atmospheric pollutants is considered. 続きを見る
