Abstract
⺠The genotoxic risk of potentially bioavailable trace metals was evaluated in the Berre lagoon. ⺠Potentially bioavailable metals were extracted in synthetic seawater adjusted to pH 4 or pH 6. ⺠Their genotoxicity was evaluated by the Ames test, the comet assay and the micronucleus assay. ⺠Results showed no correspondence between free metal contents and genotoxic activities. ⺠Positive results were probably due to uncharacterized genotoxic or comutagenic compounds.
