Abstract excerpt
The genotoxicity of a chelating agent, the trisodium salt of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), was assessed in a somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) in Drosophila melanogaster employing the wing hair markers mwh and flr3. The experiments were performed in parallel in two different laboratories (Padua, Italy and Schwerzenbach, Switzerland). The effectively absorbed doses of NTA, which was administered by...
