We are conducting molecular epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to well-defined classes of chemical compounds that are known or suspected carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene. We use biologic markers to assist in exposure assessment, provide new insights into mechanism of action, and evaluate genetic susceptibility and gene-environment interactions.
