Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

The results are conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
Executive summary:

The test article 2-(phenylmethoxy)naphthalene was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations at the his locus using Salmonella typhimurium and at the trp locus using Escherichia Coli strains..

The study was performed with and without liver microsomal activation.

The test article was tested with the following concentrations:

312.5 ... 5000 µg/plate

No precipitation was observed for all concentrations tested with and without metabolic activation.

No Cytotoxicity was noted for all concentrations tested with and without metabolic activation.

No Mutagenicity was noted for all concentrations tested with and without metabolic activation.
