Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Aroclor-induced hamster and rat liver S9
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
The highest dose was 1750 µg/plate as the limiting factor was that hydrogen sulphide gas was limited by its solubility in ethanol, which was the test solvent.
Vehicle / solvent:
Ethanol
