Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants found in car exhausts, charbroiled food, and tobacco smoke. Three pathways for the metabolic activation of B[ a ]P to ultimate carcinogens have been proposed. The most widely accepted pathway involves cytochrome‐P450 (CYP) 1A1‐ and/or 1B1‐mediated formation ]P‐7,8‐oxide, which undergoes epoxide hydrolase‐mediated metabolism proximate carcinogen ]P‐7,8‐dihydro‐7,8‐diol.
