✦ Synopsis

Integrated studies based on tectonic, seismotectonic and geomorphological analyses indicate that Normandy (northwest France) has been an active area during the Quaternary. Topography and landform discontinuities reflect the dislocation and differential uplift of a late Cenozoic platform. The tectonic activity is represented by (i) active faults, indicated by linear scarps and seismic activity, (ii) offsetting of pre-existing surfaces, (iii) Plio-Pleistocene sedimentation restricted within narrow subsiding zones, and (iv) morphometric properties of drainage basins that indicate zones of differential uplift. The inferred strain pattern involves (i) a shortening direction that strikes NW-SE as expected in the European context of Alpine compression, and (ii) a NE-SW trending extension accommodated by NW-SE normal faults. The geomorphological systems encountered in Normandy preferentially record differential vertical displacements.

Two aliphatic nitriles, acetonitrile and fumaronitrile were tested for their genotoxic potential in three mutagenicity test systems: the Sa/mwe//dmicrosome-assay, an assay using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain D7), and the bone marrow micronucleus test. Both compounds were tested with and without
