Abstract
⺠Biodiesel is designated a green fuel due to its contribution in air pollution reduction. ⺠Biodiesel impacts should also be estimate in other biotic systems, e.g. soil. ⺠Toxicological investigations were performed in soils contaminated with biodiesel and their diesel blends. ⺠Soils polluted with biodiesel and their diesel blends showed genotoxic/mutagenic effects. ⺠Designation of biodiesel as a green fuel should be carefully reviewed to assure environmental quality.
