Abstract excerpt
The genetic effects of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid (EDTA), two widely used chelating agents, were investigated by using a somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) after treatment of larvae and the FIX test for aneuploidy after treatment of adult female...
