摘要
Rubber solvent was tested for its ability to induce chromosome aberrations and sister-chromatid exchanges in human whole blood cultures. Following exposure to relatively low rubber solvent concentrations (0.0125% and greater) significant increases in the frequencies of chromatid gaps and breaks were observed. At higher rubber-solvent concentrations (0.05% and greater) there were also significant increases in the frequency of chromosome breaks. In contrast to the increase in chromosome aberrations following rubber-solvent exposure, rubber-solvent concentrations up to the toxic level failed to produce increases in the sister-chromatid exchange frequency. © 1979.
