Abstract
A correlation between the carcinogenicity of organic substances and their UV-absorption characteristics has been established. It is found that chemical carcinogens have absorption maxima in the wavelength region of 206--248 nm. On the basis of revealed correlation, a mechanism of chemical carcinogenesis is proposed.Entities:
