  • Title: Analysis of sister chromatid exchange, micronucleus and chromosomal aberration frequencies in rodents exposed to mosquito coil smoke by inhalation route.
    Author: Moorthy MV, Murthy PB.
    Journal: Toxicol Lett; 1994 Feb 15; 70(3):357-62. PubMed ID: 8284803.
    Abstract:
    Mosquito coil smoke emitting from a mosquito repellent, was tested for its mutagenic effect in bone marrow cells from mouse and rat after 4 h acute inhalation exposure. Coil smoke with suspended particulate concentrations of 99-129 mg/m3, significantly elevated the frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges in bone marrow cells and micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes. Analysis of chromosomal aberrations in metaphases also revealed a significantly higher incidence of chromosomal aberration frequency in exposed rats and mice.
