Abstract

A multidisciplinary program to elucidate the health and ecological effects of advanced fossil fuels use is currently underway at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The development of short-term bioassays applicable to the characterization of complex mixtures is an important aspect of the program. Studies reported here have been designed to identify constituents responsible for the mutagenicity of energy related materials. Observations made in the course of these studies may prove useful for designing biotesting methods suitable for the quantitative routine application to complex mixtures.
