Abstract excerpt
Male mice were subjected to repeated inhalation exposures to different concentrations (165, 204, 250, or 300 ppm) of ethylene oxide (EtO) during an 8.5-week period. Transmitted clastogenic effects of these exposures were measured in terms of induction of dominant lethal mutations and heritable translocations. The concentration-response curves for both endpoints are not linear but are markedly concave upward....
