Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Ammonium molybdate induced chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes and hence is likely to be mutagenic in vitro.
Executive summary:

In vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of ammonium molybdate. The study was performed at dose level of 10µM using human lymphocytes. The duration of exposure was 24 hrs. Ammonium molybdate induced chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes and hence is likely to be mutagenic in vitro.
