| soil mutagens are airborne mutagens: variation of mutagenic activities induced in salmonella typhimurium ta 98 and ta 100 by organic extracts of agricultural and forest soils in dependence on location and season. | as our hypothesis was that soil mutagens are airborne mutagens, possibly modified by soil microorganisms, we checked solvent extracts from agricultural and forest soils collected during late summer in the environment of mainz, a region highly charged by anthropogenic air pollution, or near bayreuth, a rural low charged region of germany, or in a remote region of western corsica without anthropogenic air pollution for the presence of mutagenicity in salmonella typhimurium. levels of mutagenic act ... | 2000 | 11113695 |
