title: [Investigations on the carcinogenic burden by air pollution in man. XVI. Formation of combined carbon black and benzo(a)pyrene aerosol (author's transl)].
abstract: Two methods for the preparation of carbon black aerosols have been investigated: incomplete combustion of acetylene, acetylene + benzene and other hydrocarbons as well as a "resublimation" of amorphous carbon. The first method was developed for generating soot aerosols in animal experiments, but the latter method needs more basic investigation. Using radioactive acetylene and benzene the produced soot aerosol could be labelled by 14C. Benzo(a)pyrene aerosol was prepared by means of a vapour condensation and was also radioactive labelled. With a combination of both generators, a combined carbon black and benzo(a)pyrene aerosol was prepared. The benzo(a)pyrene amounts bound to the soot were in the range of from 1 ng to 50 microgram per 1 mg soot. Experiments dealing with adsorption and desorbtion of benzo(a)pyrene on soot in the gas phase have shown, that benzo(a)pyrene is relatively tightly adsorbed and cannot be easily or completely desorbed.
