The mutagenic potential of 16 metal derivatives was studied with a new mutant of Salmonella typhimurium, the strain TA102 (Levin et al., 1983). Some of these compounds are known as carcinogens (As, Cr VI, Cd, Ni) or suspected carcinogens in man (Pb, Hg), others are known as non-carcinogens (Cr III, Al, Cu, Mn, Fe). Among these 16 derivatives, only the two Cr(VI) compounds are strong mutagens (K2Cr2O7 or K2CrO4).
