Untersuchungen zur Mutagenität organischer Mikrokontaminationen in der Umwelt. II: Mitteilung: Die Mutagenität leichtflüchtiger Organohalogene im Salmonella-Mikrosomen-Test (Ames-Test) unter Berücksichtigung der Kontaminationen von Grund- und Trinkwässern

To determine the sensitivity and specificity of microbial shortterm-tests for the registration of the mutagenic potency of halogenated hydrocarbons (OHV) 18 pure substances out of the groups of halomethanes, -ethanes and -ethylenes were examined with different laboratory methods of the Salmonella-Microsome-Test (Ames-Test). The Salmonella typhimurium-strains were used with and without metabolic activation of Arochlor 1254 induced rat-liver microsomes
