A genotoxicological study of hexachlorobenzene and pentachloroanisole.
The potential mutagenic activity of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and pentachloroanisole (PCA) was investigated. No genotoxicity after application on Salmonella typhimurium (Ames test), Escherichia coli, and human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro was observed.
