Cytologic Effects of Air Force Chemicals

Abstract

Experimental animals have been exposed to materials of interest to the Air force and then examined for evidence of genetic damage. Materials studied included monomethylhydrazine, JP-5, and diesel fuel marine. Exposure to moderate levels of these materials by inhalation did not produce detectable chromosomal abnormalities. Various additional tests for genetic damage are being evaluated with the view to developing methods of detecting possible genetic hazards to humans.
