Abstract excerpt
3-Chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX), a disinfection by-product in chlorinated drinking water, is a multisite carcinogen in rats. One main target organ is the liver. The mechanism of the tumorigenicity was evaluated by testing the genotoxicity of MX in rat liver epithelial cell line cells. In the studies, the single cell gel/Comet assay and the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase locus...
