Rao, T. K.; Epler, J. L.

A proposed approach to answering questions of relative toxicities of shale oil process materials and refinery products involves a parallel, two-level program. Level one is cellular bioassays which will accumulate baseline data on typical effluents and emissions and ascertain how the relative toxicity of major effluents and fractions thereof vary as a function of changes in process conditions. Biological-effects studies using cellular assays will also provide an essential data base for eventual determination of correlation with whole animal, acute, and chronic, toxic effects. Level two consists of the mammalian toxicity bioassays which will involve characterization of the acute, subacute, and chronic toxicity of primary process precursors and products.
