Expediency of the use of natural sorbents for mutagenicity removal from liquid fluorine-organic waste products of monomer FC-141 manufacture

Cytology and Genetics 2005, v 39, number 1, 34-40

Study of total mutagenic effects of liquid fluorine-organic waste products of monomer FC-141 manufacture has been carried out. Induction of gene mutations according to the mechanism of pair base replacement and shift of reading frame and induction of chromosomal aberrations, in particular deletions and translocations, has been shown. Expediency of use of natural sorbents for mutageneity removal from fluorine-organic waste products was investigated. Zeolites and glauconites appeared to be the most effective ones.
