Abstract excerpt
The data concerning the mutagenic, clastogenic and carcinogenic properties of inorganic lead compounds have been conflicting. To investigate whether the genotoxicity of lead is due to indirect effects such as interference with DNA-repair processes, the induction of mutations, sister-chromatid exchanges and strand breaks by lead ions alone as well as in combination with UV light as a standard mutagen were...
