11. THE SOS chromotest is considered to be the most simple and rapid short-term test for genotoxicity . 12. The purpose of genotoxicity testing is to determine if a substrate will influence genetic material or may cause cancer. 13. Sunset Yellow FCF has no carcinogenicity, genotoxicity , or developmental toxicity in the amounts at which it is used. 14. While genotoxicity is often confused with mutagenicity, all mutagens are genotoxic, whereas not all genotoxic substances are mutagenic. 15. The metabolism of some chemicals results in the production of reactive oxygen species, which is a possible mechanism of genotoxicity . 16. Most nanotoxicology research is done on cyto-and genotoxicity as both can easily be done in a cell culture lab. 17. The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of BPF and some of its metabolites has been characterized, with BPF exhibiting an intermediate cytotoxicity. 18. It has since increased in popularity as a standard technique for evaluation of DNA damage / repair, biomonitoring and genotoxicity testing. 19. Similarly, studies have shown that Nickel ( II ) Chromate can increase genotoxicity by way of oxidative stress, as well. 20. The cytotoxicity was determined to most likely be a result of the genotoxicity , but the cause of the genotoxicity is yet unknown.
