Measuring mutagenicity in ecotoxicology: A case study of Cd exposure in <i>Chironomus riparius</i>

2020-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Existing mutagenicity tests for metazoans lack the direct observation of enhanced germline mutation rates after exposure to anthropogenic substances, therefore being inefficient. Cadmium (Cd) is a metal described as a mutagen in mammalian cells and listed as a group 1 carcinogenic and mutagenic substance. But Cd mutagenesis mechanism is not yet clear. Therefore, in the present study, we propose a method coupling s...
