Exposure to airborne particulate pollutants represents an increased risk to human, so it seemed important to investigate genotoxicactivity of airborne material, especially in heavily industrialized and urban areas. Short-term biologicaltests such as the Ames test, sister chromatid exchange assay, micronucleus assay, cell transformationassay, chromosomal aberratrion test were used for estimating genotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenicpotential of air pollutants.}, title={Genotoxic activity of air pollutants}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/180508/PDF/POZN271_214794_biotechnologia-1991-no3-4-motykiewicz.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
