Abstract

The genotoxic potential of Edifenphos (Hinosan) was studied in the in vivo mouse system. The test parameters used were chromosomal aberration assay, micronucleus test and sperm abnormality assay. The dose and time yield effects of the pesticide were investigated for chromosomal aberrations and the micronucleus test. Statistically significant chromosomal aberrations, micronucleus and sperm abnormalities revealed the genotoxicity of this compound.
