We have previously shown that retinol pretreatment limits the amount of pulmonary injury caused by 1-nitronaphthalene in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The main objective of this study was to determine if retinol pretreatment can protect the lung from the toxicity of
2-Nitronaphthalene (2NN) has been identified as a mutagenic atmospheric reaction product of naphthalene in the Ames bacterial reversion assay. Recent experiments have shown this nitroarene to be genotoxic in a human lymphoblastoid cell line (MCL-5) transfected with plasmids encoding epoxide
Salmonella typhimurium YG1024 is a derivative of S. typhimurium TA98 with a high level of N-hydroxyarylamine O-acetyltransferase (OAT) activity. We have demonstrated that this strain is highly sensitive to the mutagenic actions of N-hydroxyarylamines derived from aromatic amines and nitroarenes.

The polarographic behaviour of 2-nitronaphthalene was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a dropping mercury electrode, and differential pulse voltammetry and adsorptive stripping voltammetry, both at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions
