The photocytotoxicity of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the priority pollutant list of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) were tested in human skin HaCaT keratinocytes. A selected PAH was mixed with HaCaT cells and irradiated with a solar simulator lamp for a dose equivalent to 5 min of outdoor sunlight and the cell viability was determined immediately and also after 24 h of incubation. For the cells without incubation after the treatments, it is found that all PAHs with three rings or less, except anthracene, are not photocytotoxic, while the four or five-ring PAHs (except chrysene), benz[a]anthracene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, benzo[ghi]perylene, benzo[a]pyrene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, benzo[b]fluorenthene, fluorenthene, and pyrene, are photocytotoxic to the human skin HaCaT keratinocytes. If the cells were incubated for 24 h after the treatments, the photocytotoxic effect of the PAHs was greatly amplified in comparison to the nonincubated cells. For the 24 h incubated cells, all PAHs except naphthalene exhibit photocytotoxicity to some extent. Exposure to 5 microM of the 4- and 5-ring PAHs (except chrysene) and 3-ring anthracene more than 80% of the cells lose viability. The photocytotoxicity of the PAHs correlates well with several of their excited state properties: light absorption, excited singlet-state energy, excited triplet-state energy, and HOMO-LUMO energy gap. All the photocytotoxic PAHs absorb light at >300 nm, in the solar UVB and UVA region. There is a threshold for each of the three excited state descriptors of a photocytotoxic PAH: singlet energy <355 kJ/mol (corresponding to 337 nm light), triplet energy <230 kJ/mol (corresponding to 520 nm light), HOMO-LUMO gap <3.6 eV (corresponding to 344 nm light) obtained at the Density Functional Theory B3LYP/6-31G(d) level.
