We have modified the Ames assay for the testing of a cigarette smoke aerosol.
3R4F cigarette smoke was generated on the Vitrocell VC 10 Smoking Robot.
Dose-related increases in revertants were observed in four strains of S. typhimurium.
Quartz crystal microbalances measured particle deposition in situ for dosimetry purposes.
The response to whole smoke in strain YG1042 was reproducible on a second VC 10.
