Abstract

During two years (2000–2001) the genotoxicity of components of water samples in river Hrazdan (on the territory of Yerevan) using test of somatic mutations in Tradescantia stamen hairs (clone 02) was investigated. The 6 points for the collection of water samples were selected to determine the genotoxicity. The results of the observations witness the changes of mutagenic activity frequencies in samples depending on degree of contamination of river water with different waster during different months and years. Water samples from point 4 (“Hrazdan” stadium) and point 6 (Yerevan Lake) are the more contaminated samples, leading to elevation of the frequency of recessive mutation events. The results witness that it is reasonable to use the Tradescantia 02 clone for the investigation of water contamination on the territory of Yerevan.
