19、.4 Documents Applicable to Producers:4.4.1 E 1687 Test Method for Determining CarcinogenicPotential of Virgin Base Oils in Metalworking Fluids4.4.1.1 This test method covers a microbiological test pro-cedure based upon the Salmonella mutagenesis assay of Ameset. al6(see also Maron et al7). It can be
20、 used as a screeningtechnique to detect the presence of potential dermal carcino-gens in virgin base oils used in the formulation of metalwork-ing oils. Persons who use this test should be well-versed in theconduct of the Ames test and conversant with the physical andchemical properties of petroleum
