Benzo[b]fluoranthene Induces Mutation Accumulation and Cancer-Relevant Mutational Signatures in Mouse Lung Alongside Steady State Levels of Chromosome Damage in Blood. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well‐known for their mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF) is one of 16 PAHs prioritized by the US Environmental Protection Agency for toxicological evaluation due to pervasive human exposure.

Fungal metabolism and detoxification of fluoranthene [PDF]
Five metabolites produced by Cunninghamella elegans from fluoranthene (FA) in biotransformation studies were investigated for mutagenic activity towards Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA104. Whereas FA displayed positive, dose-related mutagenic responses in both tester strains in the presence of a rat liver homogenate fraction, 3-FA-beta ...
