title: Tumour initiating activity of mancozeb--a carbamate fungicide in mouse skin.
abstract: Mancozeb is a protectant fungicide and is a polymeric complex of ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate)manganese (i.e. Maneb) with zinc salt. In this study, the tumour initiating ability of mancozeb has been observed by a 2-stage initiation-promotion protocol in mouse skin.
