Abstract excerpt
The three tetramethyl isomers of benzene (prenitene, 1,2,3,4-; izodurene, 1,2,3,5-; and durene, 1,2,4,5-tetramethylben- zene) were studied using in vitro mutagenicity and in vivo genotoxicity tests. Potency of mutate induction by these solvents was evaluated in Salmonella typhimurium cells with, and without S9-mix made from Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9. The potency of induction of micronuclei (MN) and sister...
