title: Genetic activity of the human carcinogen sulphur mustard towards Salmonella and the mouse bone marrow.
abstract: Sulphur mustard is clearly mutagenic to the repair-proficient (uvrB+) strain G46 of S. typhimurium. It is also a micronucleus-inducing agent to the mouse bone marrow. These data strengthen the database indicating that most human carcinogens are genotoxic.
