title: Test for carcinogenicity of organic contaminants of United States drinking waters by pulmonary tumor response in strain A mice.
abstract: The production of lung adenomas in strain A following multiple i.p. injections of selected organic water contaminants was investigated. Of the 16 contaminants tested, only bromoform produced a pulmonary adenoma response that was significantly greater than the pulmonary adenoma response of vehicle-treated control mice.
