Article Synopsis
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental contaminants that can stay in the environment for a long time and may degrade into numerous harmful products, increasing their mutagenicity.
- Microbial degradation is the main process that helps break down these compounds, but it can also create new mutagenic substances similar to those found in living organisms.
- A novel machine learning approach combining clustering and regression techniques provides improved predictions of mutagenic potential for PAH transformation products, offering better tools for hazard assessment and remediation efforts.
