Drinking Water Salinity and Maternal Health in Coastal Bangladesh: Implications of Climate Change.

abstract：:Carcinogenic nickel compounds are usually found to be weak mutagens; therefore these compounds may not exert their carcinogenic activity through conventional genotoxic mechanisms. On the other hand, the activities of many nickel compounds have not been adequately investigated. We evaluated the genotoxic activities of ...
