6 hours per day for 19 consecutive days
Frequency of treatment:
daily
Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:
0, 1, 5, 12 ppm
Basis:
analytical conc.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
yes, sham-exposed
Positive control(s):
no

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
bone marrow smears
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
The bone marrow was removed from the femur, followed by suspension in Hank’s solution, and further in a hypotonic salt solution. Fixationof cells was performed in methanol-acetic acid.

Air-dried slides were stained by the Giemsa method, and chromosome spreads were examined for modal number and aberrations such as gaps, breaks, rearrangements, and multiple aberrations. At least 50 cells were examined from each animal.
