Fig. 5From: Assessing the mutagenicity of protic ionic liquids using the mini Ames testMutagenic Activity Ratio (MAR) of the 7 PILs with the N,N-dimethylethanolammonium cation, showing the cation effect on the results of the mini-Ames test. [DMEtA][Oct] was toxic to both strains due to the long alkyl chain in the anion. The TA98 [DMEtA][Cl] test had a fail result (MAR ≥ 2.5) but for none of the other test systemsBack to article page
