Monitoring the coastal waters of Kuwait for chemical mutagens
Abstract Industrial and municipal effluents are currently dumped in the coastal waters of Kuwait. They contain a variety of pollutants, some of which are potentially mutagenic and/or carcinogenic. For detection of these pollutants, marine algae (seaweeds) and clams were used as bioindicators of pollutants in the marine environment. Bacterial mutagenicity assays using fluctuation analysis and the Ames test were used to detect both frameshift and basechange mutagens. The results suggest that the majority of sites along the coast of Kuwait are polluted with low concentrations of mutagenic pollutants. The sources of input and the chemical nature of these pollutants were not determined.
