2. Fig. 1
The resemblance between benzo[a]pyrene and hormones. Top left, A: benzo[a]pyrene; B: benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide; C: estrogen; D: testosterone. Note how the hormones bear hydrophilic groups on the angular benzene ring, which are similarly produced in the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene.

A simple illustration of a correlation between estrogen-like geometry and relative mutagenicity of PAHs. Y-axis: Logaritmic scale of the TA100 relative mutagenicityies of 12 PAH based on their derivating epoxide forms [5–7]; X-axis: Logarithmic scale of estrogen-like geometry [8]. From left to right: 1: Triphenylene; 2: Phenanthrene; 3: Benzo[e]pyrene; 4: Benzo[c]phenanthrene; 5: Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene 6: Benzoanthracene; 7: Benzo[g]chrysene; 8: Dibenzo[a,h]pyrene; 9: Benzo[c]chrysene; 10: Chrysene; 11: Benzo[a]pyrene; 12: Anthanthrene.
