Mutagenicity comparison of nine bioselenocompounds in three Salmonella typhimurium strains
Selenium (Se) is an essential element in animals but becomes severely toxic when the amount ingested exceeds the adequate intake level. It is known that the toxicological effects of Se are highly dependent on its chemical form.

Mutagenic impact on fish of runoff events in agricultural areas in south-west France [PDF]
When heavy rainfall follows herbicide application, the intense surface runoff causes stream water contamination. Aquatic organisms are then briefly exposed to a complex mixture of contaminants.
