Remarks:
The objective was to develop an improved method for testing gases. Use of standard positive and negative control substances was not stated, buta,-1,3-diene was used as a positive substance & the data presented indicates that an air control was used
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Mutagenicity testing was performed by the gas exposure method using a gas sampling bag with or without metabolic activation. The exposure condition was : bacterial plates made by the agar overlay method with 2mL top agar per plate, 100 µL of S9 per plate, exposure temperature of 37°C, exposure period of 48 h and exposure volume of gas was 500 mL per plate. Tests were performed at toxic concentration levels or about 50% levels as the maximum concentration.

The conditions listed above were chosen based on the results of a preliminary study with 1,3 butadiene in which the effect of the volume of gas per plate (357, 625, 1250, 2500 or 5000 mL/plate, which corresponded to 14, 8, 4, 2 or 1 plates/bag), the amount of S9 (50, 100, 200 or 400 µL/plate), the exposure temperature (30 or 37°C), exposure period (2, 4, 14, 24 or 48 hours), the amount of top agar (0, 1, or 2 mL/plate) were examined.
Evaluation criteria:
After incubation the number of revertant colonies was counted.
Statistics:
none

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

2 -Butene was not mutagenic, with and without metabolic activation, in S. Typhimurium strains: TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 and E. Coli WP2 uvr A.
Executive summary:

2-butene was not mutagenic to S Typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA 1537 and E.coli WP2uvrA, with or without metabolic activation, using a gas sampling bag method. Concentrations were not specified but tests were carried out at increasing levels until toxicity was observed. Buta-1,3-diene was mutagenic under these conditions indicating that the method was robust.
