1,3-Butadiene: III. Assessing carcinogenic modes of action
24 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a multisite carcinogen in laboratory rodents following lifetime exposure, with greater potency in the mouse than the rat, and is associated with an increase in leukemia mortality in highly exposed workers.
