We have investigated the genotoxicity of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene using Ames reverse mutation test. In Ames reverse mutation test, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene treatment at the dose of 100, 50, 25, 12.5, $6.25{mu}g/plate$ did not induce mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and in Escherichia coli WP2uvrA with and without metabolic activation. These results indicate that 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene has no mutagenic potential under the rendition in this study.
