Abstract
The User's Guide presents review papers and interim protocols for the preparation of waste and environmental samples for testing with the Salmonella reverse-mutation assay (Ames test). Sample types addressed include air, drinking water (processed), environmental and wastewaters, nonaqueous liquid wastes, soils and sediments, and waste solids. Draft procedures were reviewed and revised by an expert panel of chemists, biologists, and toxicologists during meetings held in Palo Alto, California, July 23-25, 1984. By consensus, the resulting protocols were recommended by the expert panel to; (1) serve as best available interim methods for sample preparation, and (2) receive the additional laboratory characterization required for establishment as reference methods. The User's Guide is intended to partially fill the existing gap in the scientific literature for standardized generally accepted methods to prepare environmental or waste samples for mutagenicity testing.
