Abstract This study involves the mutagenicity of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexogen (RDX) and nitroglycerin (NG) detected by Vicia root-MCN and the mutagenicity of TNT, RDX and NG workshop air. The results indicate that the above three chemicals all have mutagenicity. The maxima micronucleus frequencies are in the dose of 50 mg/l, 100mg/l and 5 mg/l, respectively. These three chemicals workshops air all have mutagenicity also. The maxima micronucleus frequencies are in the dose of 3.7 mg/m3, 1.11 mg/m3, and 0.11 mg/m3, respectively. (In this study, these three chemicals dose ranges are: TNT: from 0.12-3.73 mg/m3, RDX: from 0.66-1.11 mg/m3, NG: from 0.11-3.53 mg/m3).
