Evaluation of the genotoxic potential of water impacted by acid mine drainage from a coal mine in Mpumalanga, South Africa, using the Ames test and comet assay

Iji, Oluwafikemi Temitayo; Njoya, Emmanuel Mfotie; Madikizela, Balungile; Myburgh, Jan G.; McGaw, Lyndy Joy (The South African Water Research Commission, 2021-10)

Several potential genotoxins found in water samples arise from anthropogenic activities. Acid mine effluent resulting from coal mining poses serious environment concerns all over the world. The use of toxicity tests to ...
