Mutagenicity of polycyclic hydrocarbons III. Monitoring genetic hazards of benz(a)anthracene.
Mutagenicity tests (micronucleus test and chromosome aberrations) have been performed with benz (a) anthracene in spermatogonia and bond marrow cells of Chinese hamsters and in NMRI mice oocytes. Mutagenic effects of the polycyclic hydrocarbon could be demonstrated.
