Abstract:
Two DMSO solvent samples containing munition constituents contained a direct-acting mutagens. Of the two samples, DMSO recycle solvent sample had a more acute mutagenic activity than DMSO evaporator sludge sample at comparable dilution of the stock solution. The mutagenic activity in these samples was not augmented with addition of rat liver S-9. Since these samples are a mixture of several compounds, the identity of the specific compounds responsible for the mutagenic activity is not known.
