Analysis of drinkable water samples from the Om river studying mutagenicity of biotests
The initial monitoring and mammal-marrow tests assessment in order to prove mutagenic effect of the samples of natural source of drinkable water (the Om river) showed that the water from the Om river (before and after water treatment) is able to provoke the chromosome aberration. The reason may be a high level of iron, aluminum and humic compounds in the water.
