Two man-made mineral fibres, rockwool and glasswool, were found to mediate hydroxylation of deoxyguanosine and calf thymus DNA to form the DNA adduct 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine. The modification of the nucleoside is probably mediated by hydroxyl radicals and may play a role in fibre-induced carcinogenesis.
