Abstract
The phenoxyacetic acids 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), extensively used as herbicides, were tested for cytogenetic effects by means of induced micronuclei in erythrocytes of mouse bone marrow. Because of the hig experimental resolution power this is a particularly suitable test system for the detection of weak chromosome breaking activity in mammals. The cytogenetic tests were supplemented with chemical analyses of the concentration the the test substances reaching the target cells...
