Abstract excerpt
1,3-Butadiene is a carcinogen in rodents, but its potential carcinogenicity to humans remains controversial. Numerous studies have shown that butadiene and its metabolites cause sister chromatid exchanges in vitro and in vivo. To test for other types of genotoxicity, the micronucleus assay and fl...
