摘要: 2-Methoxyethanol and bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether were subjected to the following assays for genetic toxicity: Ames' test, unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay in human embryo fibroblasts, sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) test Drosophila, dominant male rats, bone marrow metaphase analysis female sperm abnormality mice. In vivo animals exposed atmospheric concentrations of 25 or 500 ppm 2-methoxyethanol 250 1000 bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether. Point mutations UDS fibroblasts not increased by either compound, while SLRL gave ambiguous results which deserve further investigation. Chromosomal aberration frequencies rat marrow, but there was evidence from tests that both compounds have profound effects upon fertility during meiotic phase. Pregnancy frequency greatly reduced preimplantation losses large. addition, postimplantation losses. Sperm abnormalities mice compounds, particularly These on reproductive cells confined higher compounds. It concluded weak mutagenic strong antifertility described here are important safety evaluation these ethylene glycol ethers.
