1 same fraction. Oxy-PAHs are nonmutagenic or very weakly mutagenic; this explains the<br />

2 relatively low interest in this group of compounds. The most detailed study of oxy-P AHs was<br />

3 published by Schuetzle et al. (1981), who identified more than 100 compounds. A large number<br />

4 of oxy-PAHs in the molecular weight range of 182 to 272 were also identified by Tong et al.<br />

5 (1984). The main components identified by Tong and co-workers in particulate matter extracts<br />
