Positive control substance:
no
Remarks:
none
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
plate method of Ames (plate incorporation)
endpoint: gene mutation
Evaluation criteria:
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA: a reproducible and dose-related increase in the number of revertants over background even if the increase was less than twofold is considered to be a positive result. When the chemical elicited no increase in the number of revertants: non-mutagenic response. When there as an absence of a clear-cut dose-related increase in revertants; when the dose-related increase were not reproducible or when the response was of insufficient magnitude to support a determination of mutagenicity, the response was considered questionable.
Statistics:
no statistics reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

This study reported that CdO, dissolved in DMSO is not mutagenic in the used test system (Salmonella typhimurium) with or without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

Mortelmans et al. (1986) reported that cadmium oxide was negative in Salmonella typhimurium with and without metabolic activation tested from 3.3-3333 μg CdO/plate.
