Abstract: The genotoxicity of sodium nit rite and N-methylbenzylamine were detected. The result s showed that sodium nit rite and N2methybenzylamine did not induce acute genotoxicity ( P > 0. 5) ,but had a middle and long term genotoxicity. Exposed for long term , the gast ric ant rum and exophagus in the rat s showed different levels hyperplastic change ; and the per mil rate of micronuclei of marrow cells increased ; the thymus gland indexes lowered.

Key words: Sodium nit rite, N-methylbenzylamine, genotoxicity
