   genic emissions  have been observed between different engines (e.q.,diesel vs. gaso-
  .line) and control technologies (e.g., with and without catalyst) than between dif-
   ferent fuels.  A comparative evaluation of various combustion  sources indicates that
   motor-vehicle emissions make a major contribution to the mutagenicity observed in
          air.

ABSTRACT
 •  -  Short-term genetic bioassays have been useful in evaluating
unregulated organic combustion emissions froa motor, vehicles.
Identification of mutagens and carcinogans in complex exhaust
emissions has been greatly facilitated by the use of bioassay-
directed fractionation and characterization methods.  It has also
been possible to evaluate the effect of fuels, engine types, and
control technologies on the rates of mutager.ic emissions from
motor vehicles.  Greater differences in the rate of rautagenic
emissions have been observed between different engines  (e.j.,
diesel vs. gasoline) and control technologies (2.9., with and
without catalyst) than between different fuels.  A comparative
evaluation of '/arious combustion sources indicates that motor-
vehicle emissions make a major contribution to the mutagenicity
observed in ambient air.
INTRODUCTION

     Combustion emissions from both motor vehicles and stationary
sources contain a complex mixture of organics.  Chemical
characterization of these organics shows that they contain
carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), such as
benzo(a)pyrene.  Recently, chemical characterization studies of
motor-vehicle emissions have identified the presence of
methylated PAHs (e.g., methylphenanthrenes) (1), nitrated PAHs
(e.g., nitropyrene) (2), oxidized PAHs (e.g., 4 oxapyrene-5-one)

-------
 (3), and a  variety of other polycyclic organic compounds not yet
 evaluated in  animal cancer bioassays.

     The development of  . nort-term  genetic bioassays has provided
 relatively  simple/ sensitive, and rapid bioassays  for mutagenic
 and potential carcinogenic activity.  Short-term genetic
 bioassays have been particularly useful in evaluating organic
 combustion  emissions.  This paper summarizes the results of
 studies where short-term genetic bioassays have been used in the
 following areas:

     (1) identification  of mutagens and carcinogens in complex
 exhaust emissions,

     (2) evaluation of the effect of fuels, engine types, and
 control technologies on  the mutagenic activity of  the emissions,
 rnd

     (3) comparative assessment of mutagenicity and
 carcinogenicity of various combustion sources and  their
 contributions to the mutagenic activity of ambient air.

 IDENTIFICATION OF MUTAGENS AND CARCINOGENS IN COMPLEX EXHAUST
 EMISSIONS

     Bioassay-directed fractionation and characterization closely
 coupled to  chemical characterization has been shown to be the
 most efficient and effective approach to identifying the specific
 chemical compounds in a  complex mixture that exhibit a particular
 biological  activity (4).  This approach has been used to identify
 tumor  initiators and tumor promoters in cigarette-smoke
 condensates (5), automotive exhaust emissions (6), and urban-air
 particles (7).  More recently, this approach has been coupled
 with short-term genetic  bioassays,  including both microbial and
 mammalian-cell mutation  assays, to identify mutagens and
 potential carcinogens in complex mixtures (8).  We first employed
 this method to identify  the chemical classes and specific
 components  associated with diesel particulate emissions that were
 mutagenic in  the Ames Salmonella typhimurium mutagenosis
 assay  (9).

     Diesel particles collected by the dilution-tunnel method
 (10) were Soxhlet-extracted with dichloromethane and solvent-
partitioned into organic acids, bases, and neutral components.
The neutral components were further fractionated into paraffins
 (hexane), aromatics (1%  ether/hexane), transitional compounds
 (1% ether/hexane, yellow fluorescence), and oxygenated compounds
 (50% acetone/methanol).   The mutagenic activity of each fraction
was determined using the  Ames Salmonella typhimurium/microsome
assay  in TA1535, TA1537,  TA1538, TA98, and TA100 (9).  The

-------
distributions of the mass  of each fraction  and of its mutagenic
activity  in TA98 are shown in Figure 1 and  Table 1 for the
four-stroke V-8 Caterpillar 3208 engine used in urban service
vehicles.   The moderately  and highly polar  neutral compounds in
the transitional (TRN) and oxygenated  (OXY)  fractions account  for
89-94%  of  the mutagenic  activity of the extractable organics and
only  32%  of the mass.  Conventional gas chromatography/mass
spectroscopy identified  many nonmutagenic fluorenones and
methylated fluorenones as  major constituents of these fractions.
None  of these or other identified constituents account for the
direct-acting frameshift mutagenic activity observed.  Mutagenic

activity is significantly less in nitroreductase-deficient
strains of Salmonella typhimurium, suggesting that nitrated
polycyclic compounds are present (11).  Nitrated polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (N02-PAHs) are potent direct-acting
fraraeshift mutagens detected in xerographic toners (12).
Identification and quantification of a series of N02~PAHs in
diesel extracts allow us to estimate their contribution to the
mutagenic activity of diesel particulate emissions (13).
Particulate emissions from catalyst-equipped gasoline-engine
vehicles using unleaded fuel contain significantly less of these
N02-PAHs.  The mutagenic activity of both leaded- and unleaded-
gasoline emissions is substantially increased with the addition
of an exogenous metabolic activation (MA) system, suggesting that
the classical PAHs may play a more important role than do
NOj-pAHs in the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of gasoline
emissions (14).                                           .

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS FUELS, ENGINES, AND CONTROL
TECHNOLOGIES

     Short-term bioassays have proven useful in evaluating the
effects of various engines, fuels, and control technologies on
the mutagenicity of emissions.  To draw meaningful conclusions
from such comparisons, however, Claxton and Kohan (15) studied
the normal variations in the.emissions and in bioassay results
for emissions due to sampling, preparation, and storage for one
engine under standard conditions.  For this study, an Oldsmobile
350 diesel vehicle was run on repeated Highway Fuel Economy Test
(HWFET) cycles during one day and on separate days.  The
coefficients of variation (CV) for these parameters, as shown in
Table 2, ranged from 0.07 to 0.11.  A computerized statistical
method recently developed by Stead et al. (1C) for analysis of
dose-response data from the Ames Salmonella typ';imurium bioassay
greatly facilitated these contparisons.  An example of this

             standard operation of one diesel vehicle

analysis is shown in Figures 2a and 2b.  The average non-linear-
model slope, shown with 95% confidence limits, is then used in
the comparisons.

     To compare the mutagenicity of particle emissions from
different sources or fuels, the percent of organics extractable
from the particles and the vehicle's particle emission rate must
also be included in the analysis.  The final rate of mutagenic
emissions is determined from all three parameters (Table 3).  The
significantly lower rate of mutaginic emissions from the
catalyst-equipped, gasoline-engine vehicle is due primarily to
its much lower particle emission rate (0.0033 g/km), compared
with the leaded gasoline and diesel emissions.  The significantly
lower rate of mutagenic emissions from the GM bus (Table 3) than
from the diesel truck and car, however, is due to the
substantially lower mutagenic activity of the organics.

     The mutagenic and carcinogenic activities of the extractable
organics from a series of diesel and gasoline particle emissions
have been compared in a battery of short-term bioassays (14).
The bioassays that provided the best quantitative and
reproducible dose-response data were (1) the Ames Salmonella
typhimurium mutagenesis assay, (2) the mouse lymphoma mutagenesis
assay, and (3) the Chinese hamster ovary-cell sister-chromatid-
exchange assay.  The results of short-term genetic bioassays were
compared with those of a skin-tumorigenesis assay in SENCAR mice
(17).  Within the diesel and gasoline vehicle emission samples
examined, a very high correlation was observed among the results
of these three genetic bio^.isays and also with the mouse skin
tumor initiation assay (14).

     The influence of fuel on the mutagenicity of emissions was
initially examined for five fuels, including four No. 2 diesel
fuels and one No. 1 jet fuel, in the two light-duty diesel
vehicles (a Volkswagen Diesel Rabbit and a Mercedes 240D) (9;.
In the VW Rabbit, the emissions from the minimum-quality fuel,
with a higher aromatic and nitrogen content, were significantly
(approximately 5 times) more mutagenic per milligram particulate
emission than were the other fuels.  These fuels did not differ
significantly in mutagenicity when they were burned in the
Mercedes (9).

     Similar studies were recently conducted (Table 4) for five
fuels in the three heavy-duty vehicles:

     (1) GM city bus with a Detroit DD8V-71 engine;

     (2) Mack truck with a Mack ENDT 676 engine; and

     (3) Ford Bob Tail Van  (LN 7000) with a Caterpillar 3208
         engine.

The five fuels ranged in aromatic content from 2.7% to 35.8% and
in nitrogen content from 0.006% to 0.61%.  The minimum-quality
fuel produced a higher rate of mutagenic emissions in the Ford/
Cat Van and the GM bus than did the higher-quality fuels.  This
difference was not observed for the Mack Truck (Table 4).  The
fuels with the lowest aromatic and nitrogen content, jet and
diesel No. 1, did not produce less mutagenic emissions in the ®1
bus than did the diesel No. 2 premium fuel.  However, the
mutagenic activity (revertants per microgram) for the extractable
organics from the bus particle emissions was much lower than that
for the emissions from the other two vehicles.

     These studies suggest  that although poorer-quality  fuel,
with relatively high aromatic and nitrogen content, can  increase
the rate of mutagenic emissions in certain vehicles, such
differences are not observed in all vehicles.  In general, the
changes in mutagenic activity of emissions as a function of fuel
quality are much smaller than the differances between different
types-of engines (e.g., diesel vs. gasoline) and control
technologies (catalyst-equipped vs. non-catalyst-equ _.>ped
vehicles).

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF VARIOUS COMBUSTION SOURCES

     The extractable organics from diluted and cooled combustion
particle emissions from both stationary and mobile sources were
tested in a battery of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis bioassays
(Table 5).  The mutagenic or carcinogenic activity per microgram
of extractable organics was generally within two orJers of
magnitude (102).  The
