Abstract excerpt
Propylene oxide (CAS No. 75-56-9) was tested for mutagenic activity following vapor exposure using 3 in vivo test systems. Rat dominant lethal and mouse sperm-head morphology assays were conducted using males exposed to propylene oxide at 300 ppm in a dynamic exposure chamber for 7 h per day on 5...
