Abstract excerpt
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a carcinogen that is bioactivated to at least two genotoxic metabolites. In the present article, we review briefly our previous studies on the in vivo mutagenicity and mutational spectra of BD in bone marrow and extend these studies to examine the effect of exposure time (5-days vs. 4-week exposure to 625 ppm BD used in previous studies) on the lacI mutant frequency in the bone marrow....
