Mutagenicity studies on terbacil, an uracil-analogue pesticide.
1987
: The possible mutagenic effect of the uracil analogue pesticide Terbacil was examined on Drosophila melanogaster and in mammalian cell culture. Terbacil did not prove to be mutagenic in the sex-linked recessive lethal mutation test, and it did not cause an increase in sister chromatid exchange in CHO cells. It cannot be considered a chromosome-mutagenic compound. Considering the procaryote studies known from the literature, it is assumed that Terbacil does not represent a genotoxic hazard for the persons involved either in its production or its use.
