No statistically significant increases in the induction of micronuclei were seen after 20 h exposure without S9 and no dose response relationship was found.
ˆ Test item concentrations are reported in terms of Total Organic Solids (TOS);
a. Vehicle control = Water (10% v/v);
b. p-values are for comparisons to control using Williams' test and t-tests;
c. Trend test p-values are for the linear contrast including the control group and lower concentrations of the same test item.
