EMIC: A centralized source of chemical mutagenesis information
In 1969, a group of scientists concerned with the health hazards posed by environmental mutagens formed the Environmental Mutagen Society to encourage interest in and the study of mutagens in the human environment. In order to deal effectively with this potential health problem, these scientists saw the need for a centralized source of published information on chemicals tested for mutagenicity ...
متن کاملPhthalate ester testing in the National Toxicology Program's Environmental Mutagenesis Test Development Program
A number of phthalate esters and related chemicals were tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium. The chemicals were tested blind in three laboratories by a preincubation modification of the Ames Salmonella/mammalian microsome test using S-9 prepared from Aroclor-induced rats and Syrian hamsters. All chemicals tested were judged to be nonmutagenic.
متن کاملEvaluation of Mutagenic Potentials of Some Food Additives by Ames Test
Some chemicals used by human such as food additives are mutagenic and mutagenicity effects analysis of them is very important because of considerable consumption by man. One of the most common methods used in the recognition of the chemicals' mutagenicity is Salmonella Typhimurium Reverse Mutation (Ames) test. The purpose of the present study is mutagenicity effects analysis of sodium nitrite, ...
متن کاملMutagenic by-products from chlorination of humic acid.
Chlorination of humic and fulvic acid results in the formation of direct-acting mutagenicity, detectable in the Salmonella/microsome assay (Ames test). This mutagenicity is being characterized as part of an overall effort aimed at evaluating potential health risks associated with the presence of mutagenic chemicals in drinking water. A number of chlorinated organic compounds, including several ...
متن کاملPrediction of rodent carcinogenicity for 30 chemicals.
Predictions of carcinogenic activity are made for 30 chemicals currently being assessed for rodent carcinogenicity by the U.S. National Toxicology Program. The predictions are based upon the chemical structure, the anticipated or reported mutagenicity, and the reported sub-chronic toxicity of each chemical. It is predicted that 13 chemicals will be noncarcinogenic to rodents, that 7 will be gen...
