Abstract excerpt
Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay--Xenopus (FETAX) testing of a series of diverse hazardous waste-site soil samples was performed to evaluate the efficacy of FETAX as a rapid developmental toxicity screening tool for environmental hazard assessment. Soil samples were collected from six different hazardous waste sites, three from eastern and three from western Washington State. The type of waste site samples...
