[Separate and combined mutagenic effect of radiation and asbestos on the micronucleus test in experiments].

We investigated the isolated and combined mutagenic effect (ME) of radiation (gamma-irradiation, 0.5 or 2 Gy) and asbestos (i.p.

[Mutagenic effects of asbestos modified by association with ethanol, coffee and tobacco tar].

The study covered possible modification of mutagenic action of asbestos in combination with widespread agents--ethanol, coffee extractive and fumigating resin. Such modifying effects as antagonism, synergism were revealed as well as an independent action. An attempt was made to extrapolate the obtained data to human exposure to asbestos.
