Executive summary:

Bayferrox 3950 was investigated using the Salmonella/microsome test for point mutagenic effects in doses up to 5000 µg per plate on four Salmonella typimurium LT2 mutants. These comprised the histidine-auxotropic strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98. Doses up to and including 5000 µg per plate did not cause any bacteriotoxic effects.
