The purpose of this study was to evaluate the genotoxic hazard associated with the discharge of suspended particulates in oil refinery effluents. Particulate extracts were tested by in vitro assays for mutagenic (Ames test) and clastogenic (sister chromatid exchange assay) activity, both with and without mammalian microsomal activation.
