Abstract excerpt
1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), a soil fumigant against nematodes, has been extensively studied for genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and damage to male reproduction-related organs, as a possible endocrine disruptor. However, the precise mechanisms involved in DBCP-induced mutagenesis and carcinogenesis are as yet unknown. Thus, in this study the mutagenicity and mutation spectrum of DBCP was determined using the...
