The genotoxicity of lead.

Mutation research - 1 Jan 1993

Winder C, Bonin T

Abstract excerpt

Lead has been tested for genotoxic potential in a range of mutagenicity assays. Such studies report varying effects, and the results are equivocal. The reasons for this may be related to problems of the solubility of many lead compounds, their inability to dissolve in biological fluids, chemical interferences resulting in conflicting observations, the nonspecificity of the assays used, the delivery of toxic doses...
