UVA light-induced DNA cleavage by selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

After absorbing UV light energy, PAHs may transfer their energy to molecular oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species that cause a variety of damages to the cell. In this study, the light-induced DNA cleavage by some environmentally important 3-, 4-, and 5-ring PAHs and their derivatives was examin...
