Risk for human
Mutagenicity
Interpretation of risks of mutagenicity is difficult because of the small number of subjects, co-
exposure to wood dust, and lack of details in the reports. At best a weak positive response is
indicated, at the site of initial contact.
There is low risk of mutagenicity despite the concentration or period of exposure.
