摘要：A review of the literature on the mutagenicity of textile dye products is presented in this article. This review discusses genetic hazards associated with the production and use of textile dyes throughout the world. Mutagenicity of azo and non azo dyes has been considered due to extensive recent data on the carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of this group of dyes. In addition, a section on Salmonella mutagenicity bioassay has been included. The data discussed mainly concerns the activities of these dyes in short-term tests for mutagenicity whilst reference only is made to animal carcinogenicity and non-specific toxicity. Environmental impact of these dyes has been assessed and an attempt has been made to evaluate the data with respect to correlation with tumour-inducing ability and to cause cancer.
