Mutagenicity of water-soluble and organic extracts of PM10 was analyzed. Both extracts induce micronuclei in human alveolar carcinoma cells A549 cells. The PAHs prevailing in the samples were fluoranthene and benzo(ghi)perylene. The highest concentration of metals were found for zinc, iron, and copper. Genetic biomarkers for both fractions can useful in air-quality monitoring programs.
