N2 - Azaarenes are nitrogen-containing polyaromatic heterocyclic compounds (NPAHs). The majority of the azaarenes found in the environment originate from anthropogenic sources. Concentrations of NPAHs found in the environment are reported to be one to two orders of magnitude lower than polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentrations, yet their biological effects can be of similar magnitude.Azaarenes are nitrogen-containing polyaromatic heterocyclic compounds (NPAHs). The majority of the azaarenes found in the environment originate from anthropogenic sources. Concentrations of NPAHs found in the environment are reported to be one to two orders of magnitude lower than polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentrations, yet their biological effects can be of similar magnitude. To assess the toxic and genotoxic activity, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) assay based on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was selected. In this study, the authors present evidence that genotoxicity assessment using the yeast GFP assay can provide a simple system to monitor the activity of these environmental pollutants that could possess mutagenic potential at low concentrations.
