[Selected short-term bacterial and eukaryotic tests used for detection of genotoxicity of environmental chemical contaminants].
During the last years human exposure to environmental chemical contaminants (mutagenic/carcinogenic agents) has greatly increased. Evaluation of the biological effect of human exposure to mutagenic/carcinogenic agents in short-term tests is very important. In present paper the bacterial and eukaryotic tests for detection of genotoxic effect of environmental chemical contaminants have been described.
