Abstract

|
The extractable organic matter was extraced from airborne particulates collected in Seoul during 1986. It was fractionated to several fracrtions and mutagenicities of them were tested in Salmonella thyphimurium TA98 by Ames method. The neutral fraction showed the highest indirect acting mutagenicity while the highest direct acting mutagenicity was observed in the acidic fraction. Indirect acting mutagenicity of airborne particulate was attributed to its neutral fraction about 88% in average, to acidic about 10% in average and to basic fraction about 2% in average. Direct acting mutagenicity of air-borne particulate was attributed to its neutral fraction about 70%, to acidic fraction about 29% and to basic fraction about 1%. Among five subfractions of neutral fraction, the proportion of mutagenicity of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon subfraction was 13.2% in indirect acting mutagenicity and 5.0% in direct acting mutagenicity.
