Abstract

To investigate the genotoxic effect of 1, 1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane, which was widely used as a cleaning solvent at the electronic part industry, the micronucleus frequencies were recorded by examining polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrows of the rodents exposed to it with different routes.(omitted)
