Asbestos catalyzes the formation of the 6-oxobenzo[a]pyrene radical from 6-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene.
Crocidolite asbestos catalyzes the oxidation of 6-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene, a metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene, to the 6-oxobenzo[a]pyrene radical as determined by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. This may be a mechanism whereby inhaled asbestos enhances the incidence of lung cancer induced by cigarette smoke, which contains benzo[a]pyrene.
