Hexachlorobenzene exerts genotoxic effects in a humpback whale cell line under stable exposure conditions

Stable exposure concentrations for hexachlorobenzene (HCB) can be achieved using silicone O-rings for passive dosing. Using this setup it was found that HCB causes DNA damage in a cell line of humpback whale fibroblasts.
