Abstract
⺠2-Hydroxypyridine (2-HPY) is the major metabolite of 2-halogenated pyridines photolysis. ⺠We examine the genotoxicity of 2-HPY in cultured human lymphocytes applying the micronucleus assay. ⺠2-HPY was found to be genotoxic. ⺠Aqueous solutions of 2-HPY were irradiated by UV at 254 nm. ⺠Solution genotoxicity can be completely removed after prolonged phototreatment.
