Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
other: CA: positive and SCE: negative

This study reported that CA in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-W8) were observed following cadmium carbonate treatment. Cadmium carbonate did not induce significant SCE at the same dose level that yielded significant chromosome aberrations.
Executive summary:

Wang and Lee (2001) treated Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-W8) cells with cadmium carbonate and found no induction of

SCE at the same dose level that yielded significant chromosome aberrations.

In this study 6 cadmium compounds were tested: cadmium acetate, cadmium carbonate, cadmium chloride, cadmium nitrate, cadmium oxide and cadmium sulfate. Cadmium nitrate, carbonate and oxide induced significant chromosome aberration, while the other three cadmium compounds gave negative results. All 6 cadmium compounds did not induce significant SCE
