Abstract excerpt
Methyl bromide is commonly used as a soil fumigant in greenhouses. In the framework of a toxicological evaluation, it was tested for possible genotoxic properties in two bacterial test systems (the fluctuation test using Klebsiella pneumoniae and the plate test using Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA98), two systems using mammalian cells in vitro (forward mutations at the TK and HPRT loci in L5178Y mouse...
