“…EPA, 2017). Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), with its high sensitivity (low attomole) (Forsgard et al, 2010) allows for study of the pharmacokinetics of human carcinogens at doses that represent a de minimus risk to subjects (Cupid et al, 2004; Garner et al, 1999; Jubert et al, 2009; Lightfoot et al, 2000; Madeen et al, 2015; 2016; Malfatti et al, 2016; Turteltaub et al, 1997). Previously, our laboratory determined the pharmacokinetics of aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) (Jubert et al, 2009), and dibenzo[ def,p ]chrysene (DBC) (Madeen et al, 2015; 2016) in humans at doses below the LDAL and [ 14 C] amounts (5 nCi) that are orders of magnitude lower than previously used in diagnostic procedures (Atherton and Spiller, 1994) or clinical trials (Ottaviani et al, 2016).…”
