Nitroarenes and Other Nitro-PACs

In the mid-1970s with the advent of a relatively simple short-term bacterial assay, the Ames Test  

We discuss the bacterial and human cell mutagenicities and related atmospheric chemistry of these biologically active N-PACs in subsequent sections. Box 10.8 contains examples of literature on this subject.
