Journal of the American Medical AssociationTOBACCO SMOKING AS A POSSIBLE ETIOLOGIC FACTOR IN BRONCHIOGENIC CARCINOMA
1,020 Citations1950Ernest L. Wynder.
The purpose of the present study was to determine the importance of various exogenous factors that might play a role in the induction of bronchiogenic carcinoma, and to learn the relative importance of previous diseases of the lungs, rural and urban distribution of patients, various occupations and hereditary background as well as smoking habits.

From such extracts of rubber stoppers and of an automobile tire, eight aromatic hydrocarbons were isolated and 3,4-Benzpyrene, pyrene, chrysene, and alkyl cyclopentenophenanthrene were identified beyond reasonable doubt by their ultraviolet absorption spectra, and, additionally, in the case of pyrene and chrysenes by melting point determinations.

21 Citations1938J. G. Chalmers
It was impossible to ascertain the fate of carcinogenic hydrocarbons in tissues solely from fluorescence data, and substitutes, such as naphthacene, may interfere with spectrum analysis made during the extraction of anthracene or 3:4-benzpyrene from coal tar, and similar experiments, but, presumably, such substances are not present in normal tissues.
