Results and discussion

Test results
Genotoxicity:
negative

Any other information on results incl. tables

There is one study reported of a somatic mutation and recombination test in Drosophila melanogaster (Victorin et al., 1990). There was no significant difference in the number of wing spots between the butadiene exposed group and control, indicating that butadiene is not mutagenic in this test system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Butadiene is not mutagenic in Drosophila.
