The DNA damage was obviously higher among children in HT as compared to LT. A significant association were found between environmental PAHs exposure with urinary 1-OHP and DNA damage. It was observed that there was no significant effect of CYP1A1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes on urinary 1-OHP and DNA damage levels.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) are hazardous particulate matter boundorganic
compound found in urban atmospheric environment. Exposure to PAHs is of
great concern to public health especially for children, due to their ubiquitous presence in
the environment and well-recognised carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and genotoxicity to
human health. This study aimed to assess the association of particulate PAHs exposure
on biomarker of PAHs exposure, urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) and DNA damage
among children in the vicinity of heavy traffic areas in the Klang Valley. In addition, this
study investigated the effects of genetic polymorphisms of PAHs metabolising enzymes
on the concentrations of pyrene metabolite, the urinary 1-OHP level, and on DNA
damage in children. This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at eight
primary schools in high traffic (HT) and low traffic (LT) areas in Klang Valley,
Malaysia. A validated questionnaire on socio-demographic, health status, personal
exposure and dietary intake was distributed to randomly selected children. The indoor
and outdoor samples of particulate matter PM2.5-bound PAHs were collected using a
MiniVol portable air sampler for 24 h. PAHs concentration was quantified using Gas
Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Source diagnostic ratio was applied to
determine the source of PAHs emission. DNA damage in buccal cells were evaluated
using Comet Assay, while urinary 1-OHP was assessed using High-Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC). Genes encoding three PAHs-metabolising enzymes CYP1A1,
GSTT1 and GSTM1 were studied for polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP and multiplex
PCR. The results showed that the total outdoor PAHs was higher (range between 1.36-
5.76 ng/m3) than indoor environments (range between 1.25-5.58 ng/m3). The
concentration of total PAHs was higher at HT compared to LT area. Based on the source
diagnostic ratio, PAHs in the HT area is pyrogenic, mainly from high combustion activity

higher among children in HT as compared to LT (0.07 vs 0.04 μmol/mol-creatinine).
The DNA damage was obviously higher among children in HT as compared to LT. A
significant association were found between environmental PAHs exposure with urinary
1-OHP and DNA damage. It was observed that there was no significant effect of
