Abstract excerpt
Potassium bromate (KBrO3) is a well-established rodent kidney carcinogen and its oxidising activity is considered to be a significant factor in its mechanism of action. Although it has also been shown to be clearly genotoxic in a range of in vivo and in vitro test systems, surprisingly, it is not readily detected in several cell lines using the standard alkaline Comet assay. However, previous results from this...
