The test compounds examined in this study were vinyl chlo ride; 1,1,2-trichloroethylene, nor.-stabilized and stabilized; 1,1,1-trichloroethane, low-stabilized and stabilized; tetrachloroethylene, non-stabi1ized, stabilized, and with high purity (Table I). All test compounds were obtained from PPG Industries, Lake Charles plant. Analyses of purity were performed by the Barberton Technical Center. All test compounds were stored at -20*C at which vinyl chloride 'stayed in a liquid state._
C. Saimonella/microsone mutagenesis assay 1. Mutagenesis Assay; Modified exposure method: The assay developed by Ames (1) was modified for the study
of gas phase compounds. The bacterial cultures were exposed in an aluminum chamber
with internal dimensions of 22.2 cm X 28.3 cm x 21.5 cm and a plexiglass front door. Because of the size of the chamber and the possibility of compounds reacting with plastics, 60 mm glass petri dishes were substituted in place of conventional 100 mm plastic petri dishes. The internal surface area of the plexi glass door was covered with aluminum foil. Each petri dish was layered with 10 ml of minimum agar. The top agar mixture was prepared according to the conventional method by mixing 0.1 ml of the tester strain, 0.1 ml of phosphate buffer in place of a test compound, 0.5 ml of S-9 mix or phosphate buffer for activaticnfree exposures and 2 ml of molten top agar (total of 2.7ml), and 0.9 ml of this mixture was elated on top of the base acar layer

in triplicate petri dishes. Two hours was allowed for initiation
of bacterial growth in soft agar.
The exposure to gas phase of vinyl chloride (/C) was per-
}
formed as follows: calibrated volumes that woulc produce the
desired gas'phase concentrations upon evaporation w-=re poured into a deep glass petri dish containing a magnetic bar. The dish
containing liquid phase VC was immediately placed at t.ne bottom
of the exposure chamber in which uncovered bacterial culture dishes were in place. The chamber was tightly closed and placed
on a magnetic stirrer at room temperature for 20 min to- allow the
evaooration of VC in the chamber. Then the cr.amber was trans
ferred to a 37'C incubator and the exposure continued for 13 hrs. with continuous stirring to dissipate the gas evenly inside
of the chamber. At the end of the exposure period, the gas phase
compound was released from the chamber through a rear valve inside a hood with external exhaust. The bacterial cultures
exposed to gas were removed from the chamber, ceverec with lids,
and incubated for another 30-54 hrs. in the absence of tr.e test compound in an incubator. After a total of 43-72 hrs. incuba
tion, the number of revertant colonies was counted and tne ave
rage of triplicate plates was multiplied by 3 to adjust to con ventional assay conditions. The control plates used to score spontaneous revertants were prepared in similar manner ano incu
bated in a regular incubator ir. the absence or test compounds.

Adult male fischer strain 344 rats were anesthetized with' 50 mg/kg body weight Nembutal Sodium Solution (Abbott Laborato ries). Perfusion of liver was performed with a peristalic pump which was sterilized by circulation of 70 % ethanol followed by sterile watr.
A ventral raidline incision was made from the xipnisternum to the pubic bone and the liver was exposed. A 2) gauge butterfly needle was inserted in the portal vein and clamped in place with a serrafine forceps. Perfusion was then commenced with 37*C ste rile Solution I which consisted, of 0.5 mM ethylene glycol-bis(3aminoethyl ether) N-N'tetracetic acid (EGTA) (Sicma) in Ca++, Mg++ free Hanks' balanced salt solution buffered with IQmM N-2hvdroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid (Hepes) (Calbiochem), cK Adjusted to 7.35 with IN NaOK. A perfusion rate of S ml/roin. is maintained for 1.5 min.
Immediately following the start of perfusion with Solution I, ligation of the infrahepatic inferior vena cava was completed and the vein was severed distally to permit the perfusate to run
o waste.i Whi1e this first perfusion was bei nc performe .horacic inferior vena cava was car.nulated by puncturing right atrium and the perfusate was collected via this return can nula. At this point, the proximal segment of the subhepatic inferior vena cava was clamped to close the system and the pump speed was then increased to 40 ml/min for 2.5 min.
Completion of perfusion with Solution I was followed by per fusion with 250 ml of a sterile Solution II, containing 100 unit/ml type 1 coilacenase (Sigma) in williams medium E (WME)

buffered with 10 mM Hepes, pH adjusted to 7,35. This solution at 37*C was perfused for 12 min at 20 ml/min without recirculation of the return perfusate. The liver was covered with sterile, gaute and a 40W bulb positioned 6 cm above the liver for warming.
Following perfusion, the liver was removed to a sterile petri-dish containing warm WMS and, in a sterile hood, was trimmed of extraneous fat and connective tissues. The liver was then removed to a second petri'-dish containing 50 ml of Solution II. The portis hepatis was grasped with forceps and the capsule of the liver was opened at numerous points on the inferior sur face with small scissors and removed. Cells were detached by gentle combing with a stainless steel comb, leaving a fibrcus plug of hepatic connective tissue to be discarded. Using a wide bore pipet, 25 ml aliquots of the suspended nepatocytes were pippetted into 50 ml centrifuge tubes, and the volume brought to 50 ml per tube with WMS supplemented with calf serum at 10% (V.'ME-CS i o) Cells were sedimented at 50xG for 25 min, suspended in W'ME-CS i q and gently mixed by inverting each tube several times. A 20-fold dilution of this cell suspension is prepared and 0.5 ml cf the diluted hepatocytes was added to 0.1 ml of 0.4% trvsar. blue stain (Gibco) for determination cf viability using a hemocytometer. f
The perfusions performed in this study yielded 0.8-2.0x10 cells ter ICOg body weight and only those preparations with a cell viability higher than 90% were used.

2. HFC/DNA repair assay: a) Modified long term vapor phase exposure: The HPC/DNA
repair assay developed by Williams (3) and modified (4) was fur ther adapted to the present studies as fellows: One million cells were seeded on 4.9 so cm glass coversiigs placed in 60, mm glass oetri dishes with 4 ml of WME-cSio- After 3 hrs of attachment, the cells were washed with L-15 medium 'phosphate buffered for use in non CO2 incubator) containing a total of 40uCi [3;-']Td.A {[^HjTdR L-15) for incorporation during ON'A. repair synthesis. The dishes were placed in the chamber and the test concentrations of liquid phase compound:; were introduced in the same manner as described in C.l. After 13 hrs exposure to test compounds, coverslips were processed according to the conventional method (3) for preparing autoradiographs.
b) Modified short term vapor phase exposure: In order to assess repair of damaged DNA at reduced cytotoxic levels of test compounds, the exposure time was shortened. The cell preparation and exposure method remained the same as described in 2.a) except that exposures were reduced to 3 hrs. After this, exposed cul tures were removed from the chamber and washed with two chances of serum free Leibovich's L-15 medium. Then the cultures were fed with 4mi of [^HjTcR L-13 and incubated at 37*C for another 15 hrs to allow DNA repair synthesis.
3. Interpretation cf results: The scoring method routinely used was designed to avoid false positives by choosing she r.ighest cytoplasmic count of each cell as a background and by adjusting number of ceils than were
-G
scored to meet statistical significance, depending cr. the nuc lear/cytoplasmic grain count ratio.
Cr.lv those cells which were viable at tr.e time or fixation, ^ indicated by swollen nuclei (as a result or mcuoaticr. in the hypotonic sodium citrate), and those evenly coatee wicn emulsion were scored. 3etween 5 to 20 cells randomly selected from each quadrant of the coversiip were counted. The number ot cells to be scored decer.cs on the r.uclear/cytopiasmic ratio ot grams required to meet statistical significance. Counts were obtained for each nucleus; background was determined by counting 3 nuclear sized areas adjacent to the nucleus. Net nuclear grain counts were calculated by subtracting the highest cytoplasmic count from the nuclear count.
Results are reported as the mean standard deviation of net grain counts. The test compound is reported positive when the minimum net grain count exceeded 5 per nuclei ana was co.nsistantly above controls in 2 experiments.
Cytotoxicity of the test compound was identified by the absence cf S-?hase cells in the autcr ad iocrapr. and by general morphology and scored according to the scale - (25% of total cells showing toxic effects), 2 + (50%'', 3 - (7d%) and 4 - (near ly 10C%). When there were not enough cells with intact nuclei and cytcclasma because of extensive cytotoxicity, tne sample was desicnatec as "not countable."

1,1,1-trichloroethane or 1,1,2-trichloroethylene with the alumi
num of the exposure chamber, the concen.tr at ions of these gases in
air in chamber were analyzed. As shown in Table III, gas chroma
tographic analysis of these gases at 17 hours were within the
range of sampling error indicating retention of these gases in
the chamber and no reaction with aluminum.
3. Salmonella/microsome mutacenesis assay
As shown in Tables IV-a and Fig. 1, vinyl chloride (VC)
induced reversion mutation at the histidine locus of the strains
TA100 and TA1535 in the presence of the activation system in a
dose related manner without cytotoxicity. In the absence of the
S' activation system, the recovery of revertants of TA1C-0 did not ,'fe exceed 2-roid the background, whereas with TA1 535 , mucat ions were
induced. The greater increase in the number of revertants in the
presence cf the Aroclor-mduced rat S-9 mix indicates metabolic
activation of this compound. However, vc did not induce rever
tants in the other strains examined (TAS8, TA1 533 and TA1537 )
ever, in the presence of an activation system (Table v) indicating
TA100, TA93, TA1535, TA1533 and TA 1 537 . The only taster strains in which a near two-fold increase in revertants occurred were TA1GC and TA1535; therefore the assays were only repeated cn these two tester strains.
1, 1,1-trichioroethane with low concentration of stabilizer produced no increase in revertants in either TA100 or TA1535 at up to 7.5% vapor concentrations which killed more than 90% of the organisms. At 10%, which had greater than 95% toxicity/ rever tants were recovered at above 2-fold increases in strains TA7 00 and TA153S- The addition of an -9 preparation had no effect.
1.1.1-trichloroethane with stabilizer induced revertan: colonies of TAI00 at the concentrations of 5% and 7.5% only in the presence of activation systems (2.6-fold anc 2.9-fold increa ses respectively). These mutagenic effects oceured at levels of toxicity of 30% or less. The tester strain TA1535 was more sen sitive to this material by demonstrating significantly increased revertant induction even at the concentration of 2.5% (a 12.4fold increase in the absence of S-9 mix and an 3.3-fold increase in the presence of 5-9 mix)(Table IV-a).
Non-stabi1ized 1,1,2-trichloroethylene showed extensive cytotoxicity without revertant induction at any dose in either TA100 or TA1535.
1.1.2- trichloroethylene with stabilizer killed both tester strains completely at the concentrations above 7.5%, but induced significantly high number of revertant colonies at 5% both in TA100 (greater than 4-fold increase) and TA1535 (greater than 37-fold increase) regardless cf the presence of S-9 mix. At this

cose, toxicity exceeded 95%. With TA1535, revertant induction was also observed at the doses of 2.5% (4-fold increase) and 1% (2-fold increase) even in the absence of S-9 mix. Toxicity was moderate at these coses (Table iv-a).
Non-srabi1ized tetrachloroethylene was cytotoxic at the doses of 5% and greater. An increased recovery of revertant colonies (5-fold increase) occurred only in TA1535 and at greater than 93% toxicity (Table IV-b). The presence of an S-9 fraction made no contribution.
Tetrachloroethylene with stabiliser showed total cell kil ling at concentrations cf 3% and greater. At 2.5%, whicn was greater than 97% toxic, induced revertant colonies were observed in both tester strains TA1Q0 (2-fold increase) and TA1535 (10fold increase). In both strains, the presence of activation sys tems did not make a significant contribution.
Tetrachloroethylene of high purity demonstrated total ceil killing effects at a concentration of 2.5%, but did not induce revertants in TA100 or TA1535 at lower doses either in the pre sence or absence of S-9.
C. KPC/DNA repair assay As shown in Table VI exposure of hepatocytes to vinyl chlo
ride in the gas phase induced unscheduled DMA synthesis indica ting the production of DNA damage to the hepatocytes. The incuction of DMA repair by vinyl chloride was observed at 5% without cell killing effect and was dose related within the coses we exa mined, 5%, 2.5%, 0%, bv modified exposure method (Table VI).

1,1,1-trichloroethane with low or regular concentrations of sta bilizer, nor 1,1,2-trichloroethylene without or with stabilizer induced DNA repair even at doses that exhibited extensive cell killing either by the modifie-. gas phase exposure (Table VI) or by the conventional liquid phase exposure method (Tables vil-a and Vll-b). Tetrachloroethylene in the non-stabilized rorm eli cited DNA repair synthesis when hepatocytes were exposed wO 0.1% of this compound by the modified method and in the stabilized material at 0.1% (Table VI). Decrease in time of exposure to these compounds did not reduce their cytotoxic effect on hepato cytes nor did it induce DNA repair (Tables VI, VH-a and Vll-b).

iv. discussion In this study, the genotoxicitv of one chlorinated ethane
and two chlorinated ethylene compounds was compared to that of vinyl chloride by measurement of mutation at the histidine locus in Salmonella tvphimurium and induction of unscheduled DNA syn thesis in hepatocytes. Compounds were tested by vapor phase exposure in both tests as well as liquid phase exposure in the HPC/DNA repair test.
With respect to Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity test, mutagenic activity cf vinyl chi-oride, a positive control used .in this study, was in accord with a previous report (S). '
Exposure to 1, 1, l-trichloroethar.e with stabilizer increased the recovery of revertants of TA1535 and TA100 with little influ ence of the S-9 mix (Table IV-a, Fig. 3); however, 1,1,1-trichloroethane with low concentrations of stabilizer did not induce revertants (Table IV-a, Fig.2) within the dose range of 1,1,1trichloroethane with stabilizer that produced an increased revertant recovery. This suggests that the compound used to stabilize trichloroethane may be responsible for the induction of revertant colonies. The pH cf 1,1,1-trichloroethane was neutral at the time of testing and therefore acidic decomposition during storage did not occur.
A potential role of the stabilizer in the induction of reverse mutation was also seen in the case of 1 , ,2-rrichloroethylene (TCE, Figs. 4 and 5). Trichloroethylene without stabilizer did not induce reverse mutations even at a dose that <illed 57% cf the cells (Table IV-a), whereas TCE with stabilizer
R&S 024328
;
induced both high cytotoxicity (95%), and revertant colonies (above 4-fold in TA100 and 37-fold in TA98; Table IV-a). These data suggest that the induction of revertant colonies may be attributable to the stabilizer for this solvent but that cytotoxicity may be an effect of TCE itself.
Atconcentrations of tetrachloroethvlene which were highly cytotoxic (97%), a greater'reversion response was produced by the stabilized material than the non-stabilizea, while no enhancement of revertants were seen following exposure to high purity tetrachloroethvlene.
The induction of revertants by the stabilized products of these halogenated ethane and ethylene compounds demonstrates the need for consideration of the role of stabilizers in the mutagenicity of test materials that represent mixtures. The data are consistent with stabilizer involvement since there was no enhancement of revertants associated with the presence of the S-9
i fraction. Typical stabilizers, including those found in these solvents, are biologically active without enzymatic activation. Additionally, since the chlorinated ethane/ethvler.es did net exhibit greater reversion activity in the presence of S-9 (as did vinyl chloride, a true mutagen), this increased response at high cytotoxic levels does not lixely reflect true mutagenic activity. A previous report by Henschler et al. (9) on technical trichloroethylene also demonstrated the important role of stabilizers. They found that eoichlorohydrin and 1,2-epoxy butane, which were present as stabilizers, were highly mutagenic against Salmonella tester strains and suggested that they could be respensiole for carcinogenic effects in mice (9).

The ocher important factor in the interpretation of results is the degree of cytotoxicity. The increase in revertant colonies at the coses which kill more than 951 of the ceils (Tables IV-a and IV-b) is of unknown mutagenic significance 1 because mechanisms other than these normally thought to be responsible for causing bacterial mutations (DNA-chemical interactions) may be operative. The different results in the mutagenesis assay between the benefice mutagen vinyl chloride (high reversion rate at low cytotoxicity, dose-response relationship) and the three sol-vents (an increase in recovery of revertents only at high cytotoxicity and a lack of cose-responsiveness) further support the interpretation that the latter materials possess no mutagenic activity.
In testing the haloge.nated ethanes and ethylenes in the modified vapor phase HPC/DNA repair test, vinyl chloride was weakly active at the concentrations tested, and in the absence of cytotoxicity. Reduction in exposure time did not reduce the degree of cell killing but resulted in more extensive cell killing effects of some of these compounds, suggesting that maximum intracellular concen.tr at ions may be achieved very rapidly. Neither 1 ,1,1-trichloroethane or 1, i ,2-trichloro ethylene with, without or with low stabilizers, induced repair synthesis. However, increased grain counts were obtained with both nor.-stabilized and stabilized tetrachloroethyler.e at concen trations exhibiting cytotoxic activity. As shown in the bacterial studies, extraneous materials in the samples of tetrachloroethylene may be responsible for their L'TS activity.

In the conventional liquid phase H?C/DNn repair tes^( >-he test compounds produced no repair synthesis, although whe cos tive control, 2-acetylaminof luorer.e, was highly active. Never theless, the compounds were cytotoxic as witr. vapor phase exposure. The absence of positive results with tetrachloroethylene, as opposed to those obtained with vapor phase exposure, may indicate that the impurities postulated to be responsible tor this effect are either poorly soluble or highly volatile.
In summary, based on the'present results, we find no evidence that 1,1,1-crichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylens P6r s6 sre cenowoxic*
