Abstract
Carcinogenic or cocarcinogenic effects of NO2, O3, and SO2 have not been proven to date with sufficient reliability. However, nitrosamine formation after exposure to NO2- or O3-induced decrease in benzpyrene hydroxylase are potential hazards. A final revaluation of a possible cocarcinogenic action of SO2 requires further experimental studies.
