Abstract
In the present investigation, 32 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were tested for genotoxicity in E. coli PQ37 using the standard tube assay of the SOS chromotest. PAHs such as benzo[ghi]fluoranthene, benzo[j]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, chrysene, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, fluoranthene and triphenylene exhibited high genotoxicity when incubated in the presence of an exogenous metabolic activation mixture. The results were compared to those obtained with the Salmonella/microsome test.Entities:
