Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the mutagenicity of sunlight (SUN), uncovered coolwhite fluorescent light (FLR), and light from a tanning salon bed (TAN) at the base-substitution allele hisG46 of Salmonella in four DNA repair backgrounds (wild type, uvrB, pKM101, and uvrB + pKM101). Approximately 80% of the radiation emitted by TAN was within the ultraviolet (UV) range, whereas only approximately 10% of the SUN and approximately 1%...
