Abstract excerpt
Due to their unique properties, the use of nanoparticles (NPs) is expanding; these same properties may affect their potential risk to humans. However, standard methods for genotoxicity assessment may not be adequate for NPs; altered tests reported here have been developed to address perceived inadequacies. The bacterial reverse mutation assay is an essential part of the battery of tests to determine genotoxicity....
