## Abstract We performed a genotoxicity investigation of extremely low‐frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (MFs, 50 Hz, 100 and 500 µT, 1 and 2 h exposure) alone and in combination with known chemical mutagens using the VITOTOX test. This test is a very sensitive reporter assay of __Salmonella typhimur

The VITOTOX test is a new bacterial genotoxicity test that was previously shown to be very rapid and sensitive. Initially only one Salmonella typhimurium strain (TA104 recN2-4) was used in the test. In this paper we introduce a second strain (TA104pr1) that can be used as an internal control to furt
## Abstract In order to assess the robustness, sensitivity and specificity of a recently developed Vitotox™ test, 17 blind coded chemicals and three environmental water samples were tested at the EILATox‐Oregon Workshop using the Thermo Electron Vitotox kit. The Vitotox test is a rapid geno‐ and cyt
Mutations, other than dominant lethals, were accumulated on wild type second chromosomes (/) of Drosophila melanogaster during exposure to 50 Hz sinusoidal alternating magnetic fields of 0.5 or 5 mT (rms) for 40 generations by the Curly/Plum(Cy/Pm) accumulation method. We maintained, for 40 generati
