Mutagenic Potential of the Holston Compounds: Virgin DMSO, DMSO Recycle Solvent and DMSO Evaporator Sludge.

Abstract

The mutagenic potential of the Holston Compounds (Virgin DMSO DMSO Recycle Solvent, and DMSO Evaporator Sludge) was assessed by using the Ames Salmonella/Mammalian Microsome Mutagenicity Assay. Tester strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538 were exposed to doses ranging from 0.1 ml of a 100% to ml of a 0.032% solution. Negative mutagenic responses were observed for the Virgin DMSO and DMSO Recycle Solvent. Mutgenic potential was observed for the DMSO Evaporator Sludge. (Author)
