Co-mutagenic activity of phenoxyherbicides MCPA- and MCPB-ethylester in the Ames assay.
Mutagenicity and co-mutagenicity of MCPA- and MCPB-ethylester were examined in the Ames assay. It was found that they enhance the mutagenic action of 2-aminoanthracene in the Ames assay, although they were not mutagenic.
