title: Genotoxicity of air pollution in a non-ferrous metal foundry in three bacterial tests and a micronucleus test--a comparative study.
abstract: Acetone extracts of dusts and fumes collected at workplaces in a non-ferrous metal foundry exhibited genotoxic activity in all of the tests used. Of the compared tests, the Ames method is the most useful for preliminary screening detection of the genotoxic agents that are present in acetone extracts of dusts and fumes emitted at workplaces in a non-ferrous metal foundry.
