A study on the genetic noxiousness of trinitrotoluen

Abstract

In this paper, the mutagencity of TNT was studied for mice and fruit flies. It was indicated that TNT had a great deal of mutagenic effect on the somatic cells and sexual cells of the animals used as the subjects of the experiment, and calculated that TNT would have a genetic harmfulness to human beings.
