The exposure levels used in the first experiment (test 2) were:
4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, 20% and 24% (v/v)
The second main experiment (test 3) used:
8%, 16%, 24%, 32%, 40% and 48% (v/v).
A further experiment was conducted due to the lack of toxicity in the first 2 experiments, the concentrations used were:

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Diluted agar (0.6% Difco Bacto-agar, 0.6% NaCl) was sterilised by autoclaving. L-histidine and biotin solutions, and L-tryptophan solutions were sterilised by filtration.
For use with S. typhimurium strains, top agar was prepared by adding 5.0 ml of 1.0 mM L-histidine and 1.0 mM biotin solution to 100 ml of dilute agar.
Top agar for use with E. coil was prepared by adding 1.0 ml of 1.35 mM L-tryptophan to 100 ml dilute agar. Each top agar (with additions) was thoroughly mixed prior to use. Agar preparations were kept in a water bath at a temperature not exceeding 45°C.
In the course of testing Ethene, trifluoro (trifluoromethoxy), 2.0 ml of soft agar was added to 9 small plastic, sterile tubes. This was followed by 0.5 ml of S9 mix or 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 and, finally, 0.1 ml of bacteria.
The tube contents, which were continually cooling, were mixed and then poured in minimal medium plates. These plates contained 20 ml of 1.5% Difco Bacto-agar in Vogel-Bonner Medium E (2) with glucose. When the soft agar had set, the plates were inverted and metal spacers inserted under the lids. The plates were then placed in wide- necked, straight-sided flasks of known volume (6.25 litre). The greased lids were replaced and the openings filled with quickfit Dreschel tops (T-junction) through which the gas passed into the jars. - Evaluation criteria:
- A significant mutagenic response was recorded if there was:
i) for S. typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538 and TA 98 and for E. coil, at least a doubling of the mean concurrent vehicle control values at some concentration of the test substances and, for S. typhimurium strain TA 100, a 1.5-fold increase over the control value. If the mean colony count on the vehicle control plates was less than 10, then a value of 10 was assumed for assessment purposes. In such cases a minimum count of 20 was required before a significant rnutagenic response was identified.
ii) a dose related response, although at high dose levels this relationship could be inverted because of, for example,
(1) toxicity to the bacteria generally,
(2) specific toxicity to the mutants and
(3) inhibition of foreign compound metabolising enzymes where mutagens require metabolic activation by the liver.
iii) a reproducible effect in independent tests. - Statistics:
- Not required (revertant colonies were counted)

- Additional information on results:
- In the initial test ( Test 1), toxicity to the bacteria was observed at 12.5% in the absence of S9 mix. this effect, however, was not reproduced in any of the other experiments undertaken. In the fourth experiment a reduction in colony numbers was observed at 100% in all the strains in both the presence and absence of S9 mix, although no thinning of the background lawn of microcolonies occurred. (See data attached in the field "Attached background material")
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- negative with and without metabolic activation
It was concluded that Ethene, trifluoro (trifluoromethoxy) was not mutagenic In S. typhirnurium or E. coli when tested as a gas up to the maximum attainable concentration (100% v/v). - Executive summary:
Perfluoromethyl vinyl ether was tested, as a gas, for mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98, TA 100 and Escherichia coil WP2uvrA (pKM101) at nominal exposure levels ranging from 2.5% to 100% (v/v).
The tests were conducted, using the pre-incubation method, on agar plates in the presence and absence of an Aroclor 1254 induced rat liver preparation and co-factors (S9 mix) required for mixed-function oxidase activity.
Ethene, trifluoro (trifluoromethoxy) did not induce mutagenic activity in any of the 6 bacterial strains either in the presence or the absence of S9 mix.
In an initial test, toxicity to the bacteria was observed at 12.5% in the absence of S9 mix. This effect, however, was not reproduced in any of the other experiments undertaken. In the fourth experiment a reduction in colony numbers was observed at 100% in all the strains in both the presence and absence of S9 mix, although no thinning of the background lawn of microcolonies occurred.
It was concluded that Ethene, trifluoro (trifluoromethoxy) was not mutagenic in S. typhimurium or E. coil when tested as a gas up to the maximum attainable concentration (100%).
