The action of certain insecticides belonging to the group of organophosphorous compounds (chlorophos, metaphos, etaphos, phosphamid, phosalone, carbophos, selecron) has been studied by the test of chromosome aberrations in Crepis capillaris cells. It is shown that these insecticides possess mutagenic activity in all phases of the cell cycle and are mutagens of the undelayed action.
