title: Study of the genotoxic potential of 48 inorganic derivatives with the SOS chromotest.
abstract: The genotoxic potential of 48 inorganic derivatives was studied using the bacterial colorimetric assay: the SOS Chromotest. Some of these compounds are known as carcinogens (As, CR(VI), Cd, Ni) or suspected carcinogens for human beings (Hg, Pb), others are known as non-carcinogens. Among these 48 derivatives, only the two Cr(VI) compounds and the Sn(II) compounds gave positive results.
