NNA-DNA adducts as biomarkers for detecting exposure to thirdhand smoke

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1632461
NNA-derived specific adducts represent an integrated biomarker of exposure to thirdhand smoke (THS) as NNA is unique to THS. The NNA-dG covalent binding adduct could serve as such a biomarker, and play a role in identifying individuals exposed to THS, thus providing critical information for early detection and prevention.
