title: [Identification of potential carcinogenic dyes and intermediates on the basis of their genotoxicity].
abstract: 41 dyes, pigments and surface-active compounds were tested for mutagenic and genotoxic properties. It was found that 43% of the studied dyes of Polish make which belonged to the azo, triarylmethane and anthraquinone compounds were mutagenic or genotoxic. All the studied pigments and surface active compounds did not reveal potential carcinogenic activity except for NNO Dyspergator whose possible genotoxic activity needs confirmation in further study.
