The mutagenic effect of benzene, toluene and xylene studied by the SCE technique

The mutagenic effect of benzene, toluene and xylene studied by the SCE technique

P Gerner-Smidt et al. Mutat Res. 1978 Nov.

Abstract

In experiments in vitro, neither benzene, toluene nor xylene changed the number of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) or the number of chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes. Toluene and xylene caused a significant cell growth inhibition which was not observed with benzene in the same concentrations.
