Any other information on results incl. tables
There was no methanol-related increase in the induction of micronuclei: In treated groups, the mean MN rate varied from 0.5 to 2.2/1000 vs. 1.5/1000 in the neg. control and 45/1000 in the pos. control group.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
There were no methanol-related increases in the induction of micronuclei in treated groups.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
