Eight structurally related halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons (mono-, di- and trichloroacetaldehyde (the last in the anhydrous and hydrate form), mono-, di- and trichloroethanol and allyl chloride) were tested for their ability to induce gene mutations in prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. The genetic systems employed were the S. typhimurium reversion test with strain TA 1535 and TA 100, with and without [mammalian] metabolic activation, a forward and a back-mutation system in S. coelicolor and 2 forward mutation systems in A. nidulans. Each compound was tested with the spot and plate incorporation assay techniques. Mono-, di- and trichloroacetaldehyde were mutagenic in all the microorganisms tested. The halogenated ethanols were positive in A. nidulans, while in S. typhimurium and in S. coelicolor the only active forms were the mono- and dichloroderivatives, respectively. Allyl chloride was active in S. typhimurium and S. coelicolor and negative in A. nidulans. The technical approach and the complex influence of different factors (toxicity, volatility and stability) on the genetic response of each of the compounds under test did not allow more than a qualitative relationship between mutagenic potency and chemical structure.
