The mutagenicity in procaryotes of herbicides

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 91))

Abstract

We have made a survey of the published literature on the mutagenicity in procaryotes of herbicides. The importance of the study of the possible mutagenic or genotoxic effects of pesticides is evident: the great majority of people all over the world are exposed daily to minute amounts of pesticides present in their food, and a smaller number of people (agricultural workers and workers in pesticide plants) are exposed to even higher doses of these substances.
