Although benzo[g,h,i]perylene (BghiP) has been found to promote the carcinogenesis of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in animal models, not much is known about this cocarcinogenic mechanism. In this study, human hepatoma HepG2 cells cotreated with BaP and BghiP were used as a
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were measured in sediment cores from 13 locations in South-Western Barents Sea as part of a detailed study of the Norwegian seabed under the MAREANO program. The generally low PAH levels found, an average around 200

Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), e.g., benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), possess a bay region comprising an ortho-fused benzene ring. Benzo[ghi]perylene (BghiP) represents the group of PAHs lacking such a "classic" bay region and hence cannot be metabolically converted like BaP to bay
