title: Physical methods for the detection of carcinogen-DNA adducts in humans.
abstract: This report has attempted to summarize the principles, advantages, limitations and the source of data derived in the use of physical detection techniques for DNA-adduct measurement in human biomonitoring. Each method, although inherently chemically-specific, has advantages and limitations depending on the adduct type under study. These methods have a niche that is at least consistent with corroborative technology, and are being applied to dosimetry problems in the field.
