Many studies have revealed the presence of compounds with genotoxic activity in drinking water by means of short-term mutagenicity tests. In this study, the influence of the different steps of surface water treatment on the mutagenicity of drinking water was evaluated. Four different types of samples were collected: raw lake water, water after pre-disinfection with chlorine dioxide, water after...
Since the publication of the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) Harmonized Scheme for Mutagenicity Testing, there have been a number of publications addressing test strategies for mutagenicity. Safety assessments of substances with regard to genotoxicity are generally based on a combination of tests to assess effects on three major end points of genetic damage associated with hum...
This paper presents a new curated database on in vivo micronucleus mutagenicity results, called ISSMIC. It is freely available at: http://www.iss.it/ampp/dati/cont.php?id=233&lang=1&tipo=7. The experimental results were critically reviewed, and evidence on target cell exposure was considered as well. The inspection of ISSMIC demonstrates that a large proportion of reported negative results in t...
The mutagenicity of motor vehicle exhausts has been studied by using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98 and TA 100. Acetone extracts of the particulate phase and the gas phase have been tested in the presence and absence of a metabolizing system (S9). The particulate phases from medium- and heavy-duty diesel vehicles were tested. The vehicles were driven according to a modified 13 mode test, ...
The mammalian in vivo micronucleus and sperm morphology assays are widely used as part of the battery of assays for genotoxicity testing required during the development of new drugs. Genotoxicity data on Ciprofloxacin in mammalian system are very limited and mostly contradictory. This study provides more data by assessing the genotoxic potential of ciprofloxacin using mouse micronucleus and spe...
The mechanisms of toxicity and, particularly, the potential carcinogenicity of inorganic mercury are still under debate. Results of mutagenicity and genotoxicity testing with mercury have been inconsistent: mercury induces DNA single-strand breaks at low concentrations in mammalian cells but has not proved mutagenic in several bacterial mutagenicity assays. We investigated the mutagenicity of s...
Mutagenic activity, measured by the bacterial fluctuation assay and thioether concentration in urine from workers at a chemical plant producing pharmaceuticals and explosives, was determined before and after exposure. Of 12 groups only those exposed to trinitrotoluene (n = 14) showed a significant increase in mutagenic activity using Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 without any exogenous metabolic ...
More than any other environmental chemicals, dioxins have been in the limelight of public interest for about 10 years. In addition to carcinogenicity, genetic risk is a cause for concern. Mutagenicity tests performed so far do not give a clear picture. The mutagenic potential of dioxins has to be considered weak or absent. Therefore, it seemed profitable to investigate comutagenicity and co-rec...
Considering the very large industrial usage of benzene, studies in risk assessment aimed at the evaluation of carcinogenic risk at low levels of exposure are important. Animal data can offer indications about what could happen in humans and provide more diverse information than epidemiological data with respect to dose-response consideration. We have considered experiments investigating metabol...
