4-Chloromethylbiphenyl (4CMB), benzyl chloride (BC) and 4-hydroxymethylbiphenyl (4HMB): reverse mutation tests with Salmonella typhimurium. 1982

A Ladner

In this study 4CMB was shown to be a strong, direct-acting, mutagen for S. typhimurium strains TA1538, TA1537, TA98 and TA100. However, for strain TA1535 the compound was only weakly mutagenic. No conclusive evidence of mutagenic activity was seen in tests with BC or 4HMB.
