Popis:	The mutagenicity of urinary extracts from workers employed in a petroleum plant was analyzed by means of the plate test using S. typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. Mean urinary mutagenic activities in TA98 were 2–14 times higher in the petroleum plant workers than in the control group. In TA100 these differences were even bigger, the mutagenicity in petroleum plant workers' urine being 3–42 times higher than in the control group. These results suggest that the environmental exposure of people to mutagenic substances is markedly increased in a petrochemical plant.
