Mutagenic and carcinogenic risk of oxygen containing chlorinated C-3 hydrocarbons: putative secondary products of C-3 chlorohydrocarbons and chlorination of water.
Oxygen containing C-3 chlorohydrocarbons are secondary products of C-3 chlorohydrocarbons formed during oxidation at air, in the metabolism of pesticides and by chlorination of drinking water. These compounds are mutagenic, genotoxic and carcinogenic. 2-Chloroacroleins are extremely strong mutagens and genotoxins and form 1,N2-cyclic deoxyguanosine adducts. The role of such adducts in mutagenicity and carcinogenicity is discussed.
