## Abstract The micronucleus test was applied to exfoliated cells of the buccal mucosa of four population groups: (A) non‐smokers and non‐drinkers of alcoholic beverages, (B) non‐smokers but alcohol drinkers, (C) smokers but non‐drinkers, and (D) smokers and drinkers. An elevated frequency of micro
## Abstract Surface water disinfection can lead to the formation of mutagenic/carcinogenic by‐products derived from reactions with naturally occurring inorganic compounds. We investigated the feasibility and potential usefulness of an integrated approach to genotoxicity analysis of drinking water.
Paclitaxel is a recent chemotherapeutic agent that inhibits tubulin depolymerization in tumoral cells. Despite its increasing use against various human cancers, the genotoxicity of paclitaxel has never been studied on normal human cells. The in vitro genotoxic effects of the drug were evaluated with
