Integrated investigation of the genotoxicity of a contaminated estuary sediment extract using LacZ plasmid-based transgenic mice

As targets for diverse anthropogenic activities, estuaries are reservoirs for a variety of pollutants. Recent studies showed that sediments from a Portuguese Estuary were cytotoxic and genotoxic in a human liver cell line and in local aquatic species, possibly due to the presence of PAHs and metals....
