Abstract excerpt
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC), metabolites of fungi detected in indoor moulds and in working places in compost facilities are considered as a potential health hazard. Their toxicological relevance, however, is largely unknown and data are rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the genotoxic, clastogenic and mutagenic potential of same typical MVOC. For the study of DNA damage human...
