The crude oil, raw shale, retorted shale, and product water samples used for biological testing were produced during the 1977-1978, 100,000 barrel production of crude shale oil by Paraho at the Anvil Points research center. The refined oil products tested were hydrotreated shale oil, hydrotreated residue, JP-5 product, JP-8 product, and diesel fuel marine product. These products were refined by Sohio from the 100,000 barrels of Paraho crude shale oil. Biological testing of a substance begins with screening bioassays to determine its mutagenicity. After mutagenicity is established, several experimental pathways may be followed. One pathway explores further mutagenesis and genetic studies. Another route of research investigates carcinogenicity and toxicity. A third avenue examines pathological potentials. Contents of this report are: introduction (research, outline of research methods, preparation and fractionation of test material); screening bioassays; toxicology; bibliography.
